User Reviews

Pros

Contains a lot of information about attractions and hiking options.
Offline maps available to download for ease of use in areas with poor cell service.
Usability is appreciated by some users for its comprehensive nature.

Cons

Maps are difficult to access or do not display properly despite being paid for.
Lacks important features like real-time location tracking and road closures.
Sorting of attractions is inefficient and not user-friendly.

Recent reviews

No up to date information on Parkway road closures. Better integration with G maps or other publically available data would make this app usable.

J *****, 2025-12-06

The to-do information was great, but I was hoping for updates on closures/openings post-Helene. This app would be a great place to keep that information updayfor Parkway travelers, and it feels like a missed opportunity.
