Texas claims to have over 90 state parks. Where are all of them on this app? It's only showing 74. Please fix. I want to be able to see ALL my options on parks to visit.

Q70%
by Q####:

Only thing keeping from giving it 5 stars is the fact I can't find where to reserve a site online. Other then that it's a really great app. Added star for link to online reservations

I70%

Terrible app for booking campsites. Won't use to book ever again. Reported issue of booking campsite on app then no reservation was made.

Has all kinds of information that makes planning trips to parks so easy! Use it all the time

The only thing I wish they had is more pictures for each state park

X70%
by X####:

Would be pretty good if it'd let me select my filters. Can access screen but able to make selections.

Z70%

I saw nothing for hunters we hunters should have a filter for hunting areas safe zones or archery only also national forest boundaries . Hunters pay money for licenses and permits to hunt national forests . hunting is excluded on the map come on really ?

Very good app, but was wondering if we could get a place for each park for personal notes......

I love the YouTube video access and the ability to get maps of the park itself.

Does not show all the State Parks

Great App

For the love of all that is Texan, let me pay $.99 to remove the ads! Such potential but just the website via mobile app.

I just recently moved to Texas and this app has taught me soooo much. I am planning trips now where before I didn't know where to start because I didn't know what was offered. Very excited.

T70%
by T####:

Overall I enjoy the app, however there is one feature I'd like to see added to make it a '5'. That addition would be to check off the state parks that I've been to. I know which ones I've been to, but I'd like a visual representation of that.

by T####:

This is not worth the time of day unless you want to pay for a subscription.

U70%
by U####:

I may have over looked it, but it would be nice if on where it shows the type of camping, shelter or cabin facilities you could type on it to show the prices for each type and the availability. Also maybe have where you can pick a your favorite parks to get alerts or event notifications for selected parks. Other then that I am liking the app so far thanks. Add those and it would go up past a 5 star if I could!

U70%
by U####:

This app mostly highlights how bad the website is, doesn't really have anything mobile specific.

K70%
by K####:

It has a lot of potential but not too useful now. Hopefully new enhancements will make it more useful with features such as ability to rate Parks and share information with others as well as the ability to have info in app rather than just link out to website.

Z70%
by Z####:

Good first step. Would love to see it look and act more like an Android app. At the very least change out those ugly switches on the map filter and add non-ugly progress dialogs.

U70%
by U####:

Hate is too powerful a word. The part I didn't like is that it was not written to go to the SD card. This is a big fail in my books since it hogs precious on-board storage when my SD is sitting here about 30% filled. Since I really like the program, as soon as this program is properly written, it will immediately bump to a 5*. Other users will appreciate that as well.

F70%
by F####:

So great! I love the UI (except for the map... I do wish that was slightly more interactive... touching the pins doesn't always pop up the name of the park). The information is wonderful! The pictures are great. Is there a way to make them so you can zoom on a picture straight from the main park page on the app? Is there a way to be able to move to SD storage?

U70%
by U####:

I dig it, now if you would revamp your reservation system and allow you to make reservations from the app.

C70%
by C####:

Wish you were able to click on the camping icon to get info on the type of campsites available

U70%
by U####:

Love it. Great resource for planning a trip or just daydreaming

K70%
by K####:

Looks good for a first(?) effort. Are there any plans to incorporate in-app reservations instead of calling the park of your choice.

M70%
by M####:

It would be incredible if you could add a feature where we can have our Texas Park Pass in the phone so we don't need to carry our card with us to the park for entrance. I hope you can do this soon.

I70%
by I####:

I wish we could zoom in and out on the maps to get a better idea where the parks are located. I also have a dog I would love to bring and there's not information about if dogs are allowed and where they are allowed at.

Took long enough! Keep improving,

This app is easy to use, has quick access to what I want, like a hiking trail map. Seems to respond quickly.

Looks Awesome, I love it, great First step.. next step reservations !!

by E####:

Thanks for making this app I've been meaning to find all the different fishing spots and parks

U70%
by U####:

The app is very nice. When looking at parks that have campsites and cabins it would be nice to know the daily rate.

U70%
by U####:

Easy to navigate and quite informative on all state parks. This could really help me and my friends decide where to go camping next. Descriptions of the campgrounds and the campsites and their costs is the biggest opportunity for future updates. I also hope to see the online reservation system improved at some point, and integrated into the app.

U70%
by U####:

Good stuff, thanks for putting this together.

U70%
by U####:

One thing it needs is a direct link to the reservation online site. I would like to go to reserve online a camp site directly from the park tab.
