FL State Parks Guide
This FREE all-inclusive outdoor guide was created in a collaborative effort between Florida State Parks and ParksByNature Network®, and the next generation of the app is better than ever.
Powered by Pocket Ranger® technology, the app gives outdoor enthusiasts an environmentally friendly way to enjoy the parks. It contains everything you need to plan a trip to the state parks, navigate them once you get there, and share your experiences afterward.
Newly added features:•New user interface (UI) with a sleek, more photo-centric home screen design. •Photo galleries on each park description page. •A new Explore feature to optimize search capabilities, allowing a 4-in-1 search by location, activities, category, and site name, making it easier to find the perfect recreational destination.
The app still has rich GPS features, such as:
•Advanced GPS Maps, complete with an accuracy and distance indicator, which allow you to access trail data, record tracks from hikes, runs, or bike rides, and view elapsed time and distance traveled. •Easy-to-cache GPS Terrain Map tiles, which ensure that navigation remains possible in the event of lost mobile reception.•Photo waypoint feature allowing you to snap a photo and mark and record the coordinates of plant life, animal species or landscape views. Post or share these remarkable finds with family and friends with the click of a button.•Friend Finder feature that tracks friends and family around the parks.•Built-in compass.•Potentially life-saving Alert feature that supplies GPS coordinates to designated contacts in case of an emergency.
Other standard features make exploring the great outdoors a breeze:
•Thorough information on all state parks including general policy, contact information, activities, trails, park maps and much more.•Detailed, cacheable maps of park facilities, trails and campgrounds. •Up-to-date news, park advisories and weather information.•Sharing features for sharing current positions, waypoints and recorded tracks via Facebook, Twitter, or email. •A real-time Calendar of Events.•Access to online reservations that make it easy to secure overnight visits. •Plus so much more!
With the Pocket Ranger® in hand, prepare to bask in the vast natural wonders of Florida State Parks!
•The enhanced pro features on the app are designed to function in areas with little to no mobile reception; however, some of the features require mobile data reception in order to function properly.•Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

useless. app keeps stopping
This app just crashed on me and when the system asked if I wanted to restart the app, I said yes, and it started up asking if I wanted to rate the app. Still some bugs and sometimes the functionality is NOT intuitive.
Just a list of parks with little info plus crashes most the time
All I got was close to a list and nothing more
Great information on Florida State Parks.
crashes when trying to open anything.
Nice to see what's available in the Florida State parks
I'm in the process of transferring all of my apps from my old phone"Samsung Galaxy S5"to my new phone,"Samsung Galaxy S7. This is the only app I'm having a issue with. When I go to the settings tab,it attempts to load,but ends up crashing the app. I will give 4 or 5 stars once this issue is fixed.
This app doesn't work, after the initial install and updates to content that took a very long time, the app doesn't display any content at all. I arrive at what I assume is the home screen with a menu. When selecting a menu option, the app hangs for awhile and eventually crashes. I've reinstalled twice with no luck.
Keeps crashing. From the posts, it appears all was well with the app until the latest "bug fixes and improvements" release. Maybe roll it back to the previous version? Has tons of potential, but can't use if it keeps crashing!
I think you need to find peoplr that know how to builfd apps.crashes when try to open.. a joke
Would be really good if it operated at normal speed. Slow enough for me to give up and go the Google route. If it loads faster than will give it more stars, really good app besides the speed though.
It's not working at all. I just got downloaded it. It crashes immediately when I try to open it. Deleted it and redownloaded it. Still won't open. I demand a refund! Oh wait, I didn't pay anything. It should still work though..
Keeps crashing. You guys made an awesome, informative app but then it won't stay open. GPS doesn't seem to work either, only info from a zip code. Please fix this. Its a great app for park hoppers..
This is a horrible app you can't make reservations on here it doesn't even show you prices and it doesn't have any pictures so that you can see stuff please update this app or just completely take it down cuz it's a waste of space
Works great found new parks never knew was that close to me.
So the idea is great, but it's difficult to use when it freezes up and crashes so much. Hopefully someday they'll fix it.
Excellent staff! Amazing things to do & see on a tiny budget.
Does not work with Android 7, just quits & locks up.
Can't really review as it crashes when trying to open. Shame:-(
Installed twice and it won't open. Once it decides to work, I'll review again.
Use it alot and am very happy with it
Won't stay on shuts down when you try to login deleting after doing the review
Amazing tool. Lot of helpful information.
Freezes all the time.
Great app for someone that isn't familiar with Florida Campgrounds
