Revealed Travel Guides

The content of this app (and the associated book) is really great, and with better debugging this would be a 5-star app. However, technologically this seems to be a work in progress, and there were several technical bugs that required some fiddling to figure out. Most notably, even when you have the offline content downloaded, if your WiFi or cellular signal is poor but existent, you can’t access any content; you have to explicitly put your phone in airplane mode and turn off WiFi, which is pretty annoying especially when you’re driving through areas of patchy coverage. Also, in the offline mode the pictures in the articles don’t seem to have been saved so don’t show (even though the update logs indicate that that that was supposed to be fixed in the version I had). Additionally, if you try to view content in landscape mode, the content is still displayed in portrait mode but with landscape settings, meaning that most of the text is cut off and illegible — the only workaround I found was to turn on rotation lock and keep my phone in portrait mode. Finally, the content was stuck loading indefinitely when I first tried to access it as a guest, which didn’t have a workaround, though I see that the release 5 days ago supposedly fixed that.

WOW! What an amazing guide for our incredible adventures around Maui - we just got back from our honeymoon there and loved tuning in on each car ride! We did the road to Hana and couldn’t wait to hop back in the car for more facts and learning. We sadly couldn’t go all the way around as part of the road collapsed past Haleakala national park, but thankfully we were able to hike Pipiwai trail & get to the “7 sacred pools” before turning around! Andrew’s suggestions through this app for waterfalls were epic and we loved every moment of the drive (except driving back during the dark because we enjoyed ourselves so much stopping so often! Whoops!). However the commentary on this guide helped us pick and choose where to stop that would be the best use of our time and we’d use it again and highly recommend it. We also appreciated the commentary through Kihei and Wailea, as well as up to both Ka’anapali & Lahaina, and down through Paia. We loved the snorkelling tips and it lead us to two magical spots one near Wailea and the other near Ka’anapali seeing many sea turtles and 2 monk seals, plus a plethora of fish! Thanks so much team revealed, we will use again.

I have been using and recommending the Revealed apps and guides for over 15 years. I recently used the Maui and Big Island audio apps and they were some of the best apps and tourism guides I have ever used. I have read many of the books cover to cover and they are so helpful. I wish there was one like this for every location in the world! Not to mention, this app saved me when I was stuck on Maui during the fires, because I was able to have a usable app and map while having no service on the island. The updates were also some of the best features during this time as we had very little communication while stuck in Kaanapali right next to the fires. Thank You guys for all of your hard work over the years to have the best Non-Bias travel education and guidance as well as live updates on weather and emergency conditions. I will continue to tell everyone who ever goes to Hawai’i that this is the only way to take adventures on the islands.
