Highly recommend for those who have rented a car and are interested in seeing a lot around the island and learning a bit along the way. A bit corny, but for the most part spot on and kid friendly. Saw way more than we would have on our own and it was very easy to use. It does drain the battery (as the app itself calls out), so be prepared with a battery pack or USB charger.

Awesome app!! We stopped at many places we wouldn't have if we didn't have this app. Great stories about the areas we were in and very awesome music that really set the mood for travel. Worth the price for the tours. Will use again and again. My wife wants one for Korea but this is only for the islands. If you're traveling to the islands and are driving, this is a must have. You won't be disappointed. Much mahalos.

Overall, a pretty decent value, but there are sections that need to be updated as the there were a few things along one of the routes that were not there anymore, specifically some caves that had a visitor center located nearby. It appears someone brought up that land and tore down the visitor center. However, the app worked reasonably well and since I got five tours for $30 and used three of them, it was worth it.
