Yellowstone Geysers

Does not work most off the time!

Just opened, but nice info, photos and webcam.

SO DISAPPOINTING..... WEBCAM DOESN'T WORK.... please fix it asap.... does anyone else know where i can get a LIVE STREAMING of Old Faithful... i wonder whether they even care we can't watch via mobile....

Can't get webcam to work even on WiFi, in other apps it shows fine.

Webcam does not work

Web cam useless. I uninstalled and reinstalled no luck. Please fix.

It is useful if I can get a network connection during the day at Old Faithful. Would be more useful if it cached the predictions for use offline like the Geyser Times app does. Now after the NPS updated the webcam feeds the webcam does not work in this app. Also if the Old Faithful Visitor Center is closed you are out of luck for any new predictions. Permissions are weird also.

Updated review (1 star -- 1 May 2015) The app requires permission to use your microphone to record audio -- the app has no associated features. Also, to use the app, you have to give permission for it to read, modify, and delete the contents of your device's USB storage. Both of these are intrusive and creepy. I look forward to changing my review once these two inexplicable permissions are removed. Original review (4 stars -- Dec 2014): Really attractive. Will be great if they keep the app maintained. Since the app doesn't cache the prediction data, the app has trouble with Yellowstone's spotty, intermittent Internet availability.

Requiring a network connection to do anything makes it pretty much useless for tourists. There are far better unofficial apps out there that have details on all the geysers rather than the handful that this one has. They also tell you the eruption frequency and duration without going online and only need network for up to the minute predictions. As usual the NPS prove themselves utterly useless.

I loved this app...enjoyed watching the old faithful on webcam. Since the NPS upgraded their webcam, this app is useless. Cant view the webcam any longer....can't get eruption predictions. Please fix it!

Keeps saying 'data connection required' even though I'm connected. I've tried using my cellular service as well as wifi. Still nothing.

Worked well for a while, now just keeps saying I need to connect to a network even when I am. Can't find any related settings. BTW,how would it cache predicted eruption times? Aren't those done based on the time of the last eruption? Seems after one or 2 eruptions they could be pretty inaccurate?

You have to have WiFi to run the app. There is hardly any WiFi in the park; spotty at best at a few of the visitor centers

Yellowstone has zero cell phone service, so this app doesn't work at all. If they ever get cell service, it may work, but not for now.

Can't get webcam to work even on WiFi, in other apps it shows fine.

The app is all but useless within the park, since cellular data is available in only a couple of small areas, and Wi-Fi is also very limited, not to mention expensive. Geyser eruption estimates are posted all over the park, rendering the app superfluous anyway.

I thought this was ah Yellowstone app. So much more to see. Love the geysers but love the whole park. North to south. Easy and west. All points in between.

There already are Yellowstone Geyser apps out there, Geyser Times and Geyser Notebook. Here are two things I don't like about this NPS App. The Geyser Webcam does not work for me. It shows a scene of Old Faithful in the summer and there is snow there right now. And on the web you can see a static Old Faithful web cam, and a streaming web cam of the Upper Geyser basin which is really cool. No such functionality on this App. Also for the Great Fountain geyser it has no prediction and says Data Connection Required. Well I'm wi-fi connected to a fast Comcast connection. So that is not working, and I've tried multiple days. This App needs some work.

It is useful if I can get a network connection during the day at Old Faithful. Would be more useful if it cached the predictions for use offline like the Geyser Times app does. The back end also forces the rangers to enter bogus eruptions into there system that way they can enter a prediction. That is why it constantly lists eruptions at midnight. Also if the Old Faithful Visitor Center is closed you are out of luck for any new predictions. Permissions are weird also.

Preforms very poorly on a bad connection that is common in Yellowstone, if you try refreshing with no connection/ failing connection all predictions are cleared. Also does not provide as many predictions as the Geyser Times app does.

Can't see my internet connection.

Only provides info on OF

Very nice!

Pretty pictures but marginally functional. Data bandwidth in the Old Faithful area is insufficient in busy times which will limit this apps capabilities.

Also if the Old Faithful Visitor Center is closed you are out of luck for any new predictions. Permissions are weird also... why do they want my location and access to my camera and audio...

This is a great app for use in the park and also just to learn about geysers.

Even more than the handyness of this app, I love the simple design and unique functions it has. I think Yellowstone is awesome and this app makes the experience even better.
