Oahu GyPSy Guide Driving Tour App Reviews

Loved it and next time I am looking for an app to guide me around I will surely look if there is one from this company

I thought this app was really well done. The commentary was very clear. But heres the rub. You have to drive in the direction of the arrows. I wanted to go from waikiki along the SW coast, then up the windward side. The 1st half was great, but then the trip i was on returned to waikiki. I wanted to continue up along to the north shore. Only problem was even though i was now on a different tour, i was going opposite direction of the arrows. You get no commentaries when you go against the arrows. Ok, so heres what i want. A reverse tour direction button.

Purchased GyPSy Oahu after great experience with the Maui edition. Very disappointed with lack of bi-directional support...we chose to explore around the island counter-clockwise before discovering the commentary is supported only in the other direction.

We Used this app for self driving tours of Maui and Oahu, and it never let us down. It has it all: an informative and interesting audio tour guide, practical tips on where to find parking ( you will need them in Hawaii), snack and meal recommendations, driving directions, and more. We especially appreciated that all the suggestions were timed very well, we never missed a turn. Dont get mislead by the basic graphics, the audio content is rich! I wish we knew about this app on our trip to Yellowstone!

We found this tour made our stay very enjoyable. We learned things we would not have known otherwise.

This app was absolutely incredible! My gf and I rented a car and this app took us around the whole island educating us about Hawaiian history, culture and customs while suggesting activities we wouldve never done ourselves. It is informative, accurate and interesting. It doesnt use your data once youve downloaded it. My only suggestion is that they should add a feature to let you know when youve gone off track. This is honestly the best app Ive ever used and it allowed us to see Hawaii stress free on our own time.

Hello there, Is this app has the option for the user to select “star and end” or not? Thanks, Kaintroy

My wife and I took a guided tour of the island last year. Cost $200 or so... and we loved it. We thought we could cheat the system by downloading this app. Little did we know, the $7.99 was money incredibly well spent. Simply put, get this if you want to see Oahu. The user experience was immaculate - the guide whom we dubbed Chuck predicted my every question (borderline eerie!). Thank you app!

This app was good 2yrs ago but since then it hasn’t had updates. Most importantly app doesn’t run in background and on ios8 devices GPS doesn’t always activate even after rebooting phone and reinstalling app.

I travelled solo to Oahu. It was my first visit and I wanted to explore the island. I rented a Jeep and stayed in Waikiki as my home base. This app was absolutely awesome. I can not say enough good things. The guide is great... He even cracks jokes every once in a while. I used the app over the course of two days. Some spots I skipped and went back to at a later date during my stay because o wanted more time there. Thats the beauty of it... You stop where you want and for how long you want! Ill never do another group tour as long as there is a GyPSy guide available, no joke! Worth every penny!

A good product with quality info, but the lack of flexibility in route choice was frustrating. I think this app can still be effective if the context of the tour is not limited to a specific direction. We enjoyed the style of the speaker and learned several new things along the way. We just had to hear the tour in reverse unfortunately.

Great app the minute u allow people to join anywhere on route and in any direction. Todays technology can handle that but this forces u to drive always in one specific way. Bad design.

I hope they will make more destination. This app is awesome. If you happen to rent a car with USB aux or Bluetooth enable you can route the commentary to the cars audio system. Although there is one issue, after each commentary, it automatically plays your iTune music. The google turn-by-turn guidance does not.

We are currently using this app while on Oahu and I cant tell you how glad I am that I spent the $7 on it! I feel like we are our own tour guides! Its so much more accurate at following our moves than I expected it to be. The timing and cometary are spot on. We named our guide Ralph and he waits in the car for us while we take in the sites ;) We are not staying in the Waikiki area but rather the Ko Olina area but we just picked up the tour at Diamond Head area one afternoon and went almost up to the North Shore. Excited to finish up the rest of the island today! One note- the tour goes counterclockwise and that would be my only "negative" about this app - the option to go either direction would be nice but I still rate it 5 stars because of the price, ease of use and the valuable info it provides! Last thing I would suggest is bring along a adapter cord for the device you are running the app on so you will be able to use your car speakers rather than just your devices speakers. For the 2 of us it was fine but if you have several people in a larger car hearing the guide might be an issue.

I cant even begin to tell u how good this app is. We took the north shore tour on sat and pearl harbor plus east island on sunday completing the island in just two days. Took 1000 beautiful pics along the way. The narrator was very precise with the directions its unbelievable! Wife loved it when he pointed out the next fruit stand where she got a reasonably priced jack fruit! Couple of things for improvement: 1. Can you make an option toTake us to your closest tour route from wherever we are? 2. More timing details would be nice we ran late on the north shore tour. 3. Did not tell us about sea life park even tho its right on the east island route? We saw it anyway Still this app deserves 6 stars no joke! Thank you!

... And Im a tough cookie to please. Seriously a good app! We bought a book and as were thumbing through each area, it was a WTH moment. Got this app and it explains every area,no muss,no fuss, and no waiting for that slow person on a bus tour.

Great app. Wish it could guide you back on track after getting off.

This was a VERY good trip. Honolulu can be a scary place, but with this app I felt good. Did not get lost, and knew everything that was going on around us. Thank you.

Better than a bus tour based upon previous experience. Nice soothing voice and identified small local points of interested we would never had visited. Also identified local eateries. Great job and well worth the $6.99.

It was like having our own personal island guide. Directions were great and the information was accurate, well researched and detailed. We were amazed at how well it worked and it enhanced our trip immensely. Make more of these and Ill buy them in a second.
