Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A free Android app for discovering parks, planning stops, keeping pass records, and downloading selected map areas for offline use.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-22 issue.

For: Android travelers planning park trips without reliable signal
Worth noticing: Offline downloads cover a selected area around a point, not an entire park or route between stops.

Field notes

The app organizes park discovery around a catalog, ordered stops, private notes, pass references, and selected map downloads. Its offline mode is deliberately bounded: downloads cover an area around a chosen point, not the whole park or the route between stops, and the site disclaims offline turn-by-turn directions. The homepage identifies the current Android release as 0.6.1-beta, with Android 11+ support and Google Play availability still listed as coming soon.
