The app was confusing at first since "How it Works" was on the top of the first page. Because of that we thought that it was still in a learning mode. Finally, we figured it out, started down the road, and the guide started talking. It all fell into place. The guide had a very easy listening voice and the highlights he spoke about were all interesting. We purchased the Action Tour Guide for the Sequoia National Park, Sedona and the Grand Canyon. We used it in Sequoia and Sedona but decided to pay an actual tour company to drive us around the Grand Canyon. I'm glad that we tried this app. We saved hundreds of dollars and felt that it was a nice way to see highlights that the app pointed out.
