Oahu GyPSy Guide Driving Tour App Reviews

This app is great and is very helpful when on vacation. We used Gypsy on to islands and loved them.

Excellent. Best $7 spent on vacation. Works off the GPS in your phone to give you clear driving directions along with informative facts about areas of interest. Just wish I had more time here in Oahu to explore more. I hope these guides are expanded to new cities.

This is a great app. We used the one on Maui and bought this one for our day on Oahu! We named him Don Ho! (had to be a Hawaiian name since we were on the islands!) we started at pearl Harbor, went to the north shower then all the way back to Diamond Head. He pointed out all the stops along the way!! Sometimes we needed to see the map while he was talking. This would be the only change I would make. I still give it 5 stars though!! We told many people about this app while there!! I would call this the number one thing to take on your trip!!! Aloha!!

We will never be able to enjoyed Oahu at much without your accurate guidance

Its like we found a treasure map. Gypsy was very good at navigating and led us to many scenic areas that we could stop at as long as we wanted. It was a great mixture of seeing the beautiful sights in Hawaii and hearing more about the history and culture of the island. And he was quite humorous when he would give tips and helpful hints. If you are traveling and want that extra help getting around, GyPSy is for you!!

Less than two special coffees - personal tour guide via GPS - not a cent wasted! 5 stars squared!

Made our trip The best and most fun with no time constraints

Yep

We just got back from Hawaii and found this app to be the best money we spent on the trip. The directions are flawless and timely and the commentary between places of interest is very informative. We would not have been able to do nearly as much on Oahu without the assistance.

Im so glad I downloaded this for my 13 hour layover. I was really impressed with the quality of this app. Clearly, these people spent a lot of time developing and perfecting it. I did need to drive by the starting point twice before the tour was triggered to begin, but thats no big deal. I liked that he knew the ins and outs of the island, and recommended Lanikai Beach and also other useful tips.

We downloaded this app right after we got done with the Road to Hana GyPSy guide which was great. But we were unable to get this app to function properly with a phone synced with usb cord to the stereo. It would play about half of the description, and then begin to play the first (by alphabet) song in my iTunes music list. We’d have to pause and try to rewind, sometimes we could get the information sometimes we couldn’t. When we got the information, it was mostly good. I think the Dole Plantation was a total bust and I wouldn’t have stopped there. Maybe if the first song in my iTunes wasn’t totally annoying I would have enjoyed this more.

We recently used this app while in Oahu for a week. We didnt want to take a circle island tour because with three little kids they needed to go on our own pace. The kids nick named the narrator "Steve" and complained of we had to have "seri" tell us where to go and not Steve. They liked his jokes and my husband thought his navigation was much better than mine! It worked super slick with the GPS. Only drawback is it goes only counter-clockwise around the island. When we were going the other way you just had to manually select what arrows you were near and ignore the driving directions. Best money we spent on this trip!! Well worth the price!

Great way to travel. Will definitely use it again.

I have been to Hawaii many times and never had such a great tour of island. The voice on the app is so pleasant and friendly and informative. He anticipates all your questions and offers very informative information automatically as u pass locations. He directs u perfectly to each location and u actually feel like he is in the car with you because he tells u what u are seeing. This is best app I have ever downloaded.

Best $7 on vacation I ever spent.

The GPS integration is genius. The automated tour guide comments on upcoming sites, turns that you have to make, etc. perfectly. The historical content thrown in with the narration is also excellent. When you compare this to what a guided tour would cost – where you dont have any flexibility to stop for an hour and do something else when you want - this is a steal. A slight quibble is that if you get off course it really wont bring you back. It just remains silent until you have returned to its route. But this is minor.

This app is fabulous!! We were able to go at our own pace, decide where we wanted to stop and for how long, and the guide gave tons of Hawaiian history/culture. Awesome!!!!

These tours are awesome. They allow you to enjoy the tour w/ the privacy of your own family. You can stop & go as you please; spend as much time or as little, at any of the suggested stops. The ages in our group range from 35 -70 & so far, everyone has enjoyed it. We have purchased the app for Maui & Oahu & sometimes just like to drive around & turn it on to see what the guide has to say. It always provides information about where you are, tips on where to eat & things you should get out & see. Get the full tour! Best $10 youll spend on the island.

Loved it; saw so many cool things - on our time, in our car - awesome and a must for Hawaii

Used this app over the last two days and all I can say is buy it! If you are traveling to Oahu and are thinking about a tour, forget that tour, rent a car and do it yourself. This app is entertaining and every bit of commentary is spot on. You can do all of it or part of it and do it all on your schedule. We loved it!
