National Parks App

With so many eyes glued to the application we do our best to keep the bar of the UI quality very high. Attention to the details is our top priority.

Both iOS and Android app are built in native code and we make sure they integrate tightly into the system. We support dark mode, widgets and always looking for more ways to make the app experience as native as possible.

Many parks lack a good cell reception, making offline support an important feature. We allow users to download the park data bundles for offline use. This includes photos, maps and audio tours.

We also employ a bunch of tricks to make the situations when users find themselves in the middle of the park without the network connection and empty screens as unlikely as possible: pre-bundling essential data, aggressive caching etc.

We detect if users is inside or close to a particular park with good precision and provide relevant guidance.

Powered by Mapbox, we utilize the specially built National Park Service map styles for the best navigation experience. As a separate sub-project we brought existing brochure maps PDFs into the application.

The application can serve as a audio-guide, navigating users through the most important places in the park.

Driving tours are a great way to experience the park. We support CarPlay and Android Auto to make the experience even better.

We have a developed various AR experiences for the users to explore the parks. Most can be used anywhere, but experienced by the users in the park.

Accessibility is a top priority for us. We make sure that the app is usable by everyone.

Some NPS sites have indoor exhibits with special Beacon system installed, which is optimized for the people with visual impairments.

We built a custom search engine for the application. It combines the search results from the NPS API and the search results from the application itself.
