Shaka App or GuideAlong?

[Pyxie]

Does anyone have a recommendation on one or the other? They seem to do the same thing. I follow travelers who recommend the GuideAlong App (formerly Gypsey Guide), but I see Shaka mentioned a lot here.

Never heard of either of them. What do they do?

I've used Shaka on the Big Island and really enjoyed it. I appreciated all the little facts along the way.

They are apps that use GPS and a guided tour to take you around different sites on the island with navigation and narration.

Interested to hear this too! We like the Shaka app a lot, it has a humorous Hawaiian flair to it. I recommend it!

I think I used the other when it was Gypsy a while ago and its more general, not specifically Hawaiian. We have been to Oahu enough the Shaka guide feels repetitive, thinking about finding a different one for this trip.
