New change made it harder to use
UPDATE: Based on the developer’s response, I updated my review from 4 to 5 stars. My concern was not a software change, but a deliberate choice based on their desire to make the journey around Lake Tahoe scenic and safe. Thank you!
Last year (2025) we loved the Shaka Guide we bought for the Redwoods in California. This year, I bought the guide for the Lake Tahoe area. The content was excellent and very helpful, but one new change confused us and made it almost impossible to use. The guide would only play in numerical order for the various points of interest. It would not reverse itself based on direction of travel. Last year, it would switch itself whether we were driving northbound or southbound. I had to manually choose the info to play when we were going “backwards” and we missed several points because of the confusion. Of course it’s possible I was using the app wrong. 🤦♀️ If that’s the case and there’s a setting I should’ve changed, it wasn’t obvious in the settings.
Despite this, I will still recommend Shaka Guides to friends and family.

First time in Maui
I couldn’t recommend this enough. This was super great! It was educational and entertaining at the same time. We are a family of four with two daughters, a 17yo and a 20yo, and we all loved it. Used it mainly for our Road to Hana and our Sunrise and Sunset Haleakala trips. 100% highly recommend!

Oh my goodness…so much to see and do! I wish there were more hours in the day! Narration was very personal. It was a perfect day! I can’t wait to try others tours!
