HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (42 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

WHAT THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT · SHARE OF BAD REVIEWS
Price and subscription16%

3 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ This is a terribly expensive app to be unusable.
★★★★★ Too expensive for the hassle.
★★★★★ The worst part is we couldn't even manually get it to play the stories to try to get the info that we were missing, so it was a total waste of my money.
Lost data, sync, backup16%

3 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ (If it had, we could have gotten our direction & hoped-for tour in sync much earlier.) Only when we stopped some time after the expected tour start & expanded the map to see what was going on did we discover the problem.
★★★★★ When it came down to using it, the material would never sync with my location.
Bugs, things not working11%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ The information provided is fine. But I wanted to throw my phone out the window every time I tried to get it to work and wasted precious vacation time. Even with good Wi-Fi at the hotel, I couldn't get downloading to…
★★★★★ It's fine enough and there were neat highlights that I appreciated but overall I found it glitchy and directionally challenging.
Wrong or poor results11%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Though we are mobility limited seniors, we are tech savvy. After comparing this to other purchase candidates, we bought thinking our version of Shaka was tour vs. trail focused. Not so. I can't tell you how frustrated…
★★★★★ Extra frustrating considering that if you don't have the app working You can be sent on a wrong route and waste your time.
Missing features11%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ The worst part is we couldn't even manually get it to play the stories to try to get the info that we were missing, so it was a total waste of my money.
★★★★★ My biggest issue was with the lack of functional directions when using the app.
WHAT THEY ASK FOR
  • Only small piece of feedback is that you now need a reservation for the Indian monastery, and that's not called out in the tour yet 5★, Jan 11, 2026
  • Only critiques are that the app tends to close when using other apps on the phone & that it would be nice to have more songs on the soundtrack. 4★, May 15, 2025
  • I need a Shaka guide for all my travels. 5★, Oct 15, 2024
  • Purchase the Shaka guide and you will not need anything more. 5★, Sep 20, 2022
  • Unfortunately we had no cell coverage for half of the trip so downloading would be nice for this one. 5★, Jun 20, 2022
  • It would be nice if constant Hawaiian music played when the guide is not talking. 5★, May 25, 2022
  • Would be nice to have a little more music to fill the longer gaps, but still awesome. 5★, Mar 6, 2022
  • Please make it easier to map to the starting location. 4★, Feb 14, 2022

★★★★★ We really enjoyed using this app. We learned lots about the island and visited beautiful beaches and landmarks. The best way to have a day to explore at your own pace.
★★★★★ So informative and helpful to make the drive come alive!
★★★★★ Uncle Shaka was the soundtrack of our trip. Without it we would have missed so much scenery and history. Even the background music is pleasant and far from annoying. My husband is not a “tour” guy but he was super…

Fantastic tour

Way better than paying a physical tour guide, because you can pause this one and wander around

★★★★★Sep 5, 2026
Mixed results

Started out loving the app and how well it worked, but the more tours (4total) we did on Kauai the more trouble we had My biggest aggravation is that the tour never ends even if you turn off navigation Will I use the app on another vacation ? Right now I’m at 50/50 Wish I could give a better review, but a lot of little annoying things just added up

★★★★★Sep 3, 2026
So much fun

Loved every minute. We thought we had seen everything on the island…. But nope! So much to see and awesome history and music. Highly recommend!

★★★★★Aug 25, 2026
Great buy!

I completely failed to plan much beyond a luau for our first trip to Kauai. I stumbled into this and got a deal on the package of four tours. This plus a rental car and Google is really all you need to make the most of your time on the island. The tours were organized, easy to follow, and offered a mix of hikes, swim spots, stops in towns, and cultural sites and stories. We were able to easily skip sites we weren't interested in and spend more time at others. Included information about local eateries and restrooms also came in clutch. Pretty much the best money we could have spent on this trip!

★★★★★Aug 19, 2026
Fun stories

It was fun listening to the guide talk stories while driving up and down Waimea Canyon. It was great hearing about the flora and the history of this part of the island.

★★★★★Aug 17, 2026
Difficult to use

I bought this guide because it was advertised as a GPS guided app. The app did not know where I was after I selected my tour and I could not alter the starting point. Finally, I gave up and used my map to scope out where to go.
