Maui Revealed 7th Edition
Never get lost with the Maui Revealed app. This app is the perfect companion to the Maui Revealed book or eBook. Nothing beats the reading experience of a book to plan your vacation, but while you are traveling, the Maui Revealed app combines the complete guidebook with an easy to use map that is always with you on your phone or tablet. The location-aware map was created by Andrew Doughty to go with the guidebook and it can show you the locations of the all the places in the guidebook. If you are using the app on a device with a GPS, the app can also show you where you are on the map and be used to guide you to your destinations.
The app can be used to look up guidebook information on the go. It provides a location-centric interface to the guidebook. With just two taps on the Map, "Locate Me" and "What's Nearby?", the app will pull together a list of everything to do, see and eat wherever you are on the island. The text of the guidebook is searchable and lists of hotels and restaurants can be sorted by location, type, price and rating. The app has a "Smart" Table of Contents that previews guidebook ratings and shows you places you have marked as "Favorites". The Favorites list can help you plan and organize your days and make it easy to find the things you want to see and do when you are on the go.
Best-selling author and longtime Hawaii resident, Andrew Doughty, unlocks the secrets of an island so lush and diverse that many visitors never realize all that it has to offer. Explore with him as he reveals breathtaking trails, secluded beaches, pristine reefs, delicious places to eat, colorful craters, hidden waterfalls and so much more. Every restaurant, activity provider, business and resort is reviewed personally and anonymously. Every beach, trail and location has been evaluated through years of field research. This app, the book and a rental car are all you need to discover what makes Maui so exciting.
This app covers it all—from the wind-swept top of Haleakala to the sparkling underwater reefs. This is the best investment you can make for your Maui vacation. Whether you're a first time visitor or a long time kama'aina, you'll find out more about Maui from this app than from any other source.

Used this every day on our trip to Maui. Easy to navigate, entertaining to read. Glad I purchased.
Not user friendly. Does not have the counter clock Hanna that was mentioned in the book. When you ask for directions it just takes you to Google maps. You'd do better using the online book and your smartphone.
I love this app! I used to purchase the books, but the app is fantastic!
Loved this app! Tried lots of the places, tours and restaurants and was never disappointed
Great app. We love driving to Hana from upcountry. Where is the guided audio tour mentioned on page 74 in guidebook? Otherwise great app.
Loving this app and we have not arrived in Maui yet!
Very through with sense of real humor and explicitly helpful information.
Great app. Very informative. Used it several times so far.
When I went to Oahu 2 years ago I balked at the $8 price of the app. We chose to take an older version of the book with us instead. That thing went everywhere we did, which meant carrying a backpack around. Some of the restaurants they recommended had closed, but otherwise things were great. Now prepping for Maui we could only find an old version of the book. I've read that and this is simply an updated and interactive version. Love that links are included and that it works with your maps. Totally worth it!
Like the Ohau app, this has much of the book content, without the nice organization of an eBook (which mirrors the paper book, but I haven't seen). For example, the contents start with "Sights" and then "Introduction" and "The Basics" are listed further down. Also, it has some, but not all of the updates the author puts on his website. It's "just ok" since it's not quite as good as an eBook-version of the paper book and the updates are inconsistent. I also couldn't find any detailed maps showing where the various sites are located relative to each other (though you can locate where a specific destination is). I would recommend this app for someone familiar with the book to use as a portable reference. If you've never seen the book, this might not meet your expectations. I would flip through an older version of the book to get familiar with the style/structure and how to use it, and then review the current version via app for your actual planning! Personally, I'm not a fan of the app having a book version attached to it, but I can see why there is a business motivation to sell newer versions every few years.
I absolutely recommend this to anyone visiting Maui for the very first time, especially in conjunction with the book. Very well organized. Useful comments on all the beaches and other sights, helpful guides to food (although we didn't always agree, but then again food is not the real highlight in Hawaii). The best feature of the app is that at the end of every beach/site/food commentary you can click on a "Directions" button, which takes you to your phone's map app and navigates you right to your spot. Saves time and hassle every time you use it. Cheapest and best tour guide I ever had.
Perfect companion to the book! Love that it works without a signal, and it's awesome to be able to check that you are actually in the place you meant to be! I recommend these guidebooks and the app to everyone I know who travels to Hawaii. Thank you for the hard work that goes in to making these great!
What an amazing trip, this app/book is very uptodate and even locals were surprised at the level of details it provided. Would recommend! Dining details helped a lot! The authors were right, Bully's BBQ in upcountry is amazing.
The books are great, but this app has very poor navigation and is almost like just a phone book.
This was a great guidebook for our 25 day exploration of Maui. As good as his other books on the other islands.
The ability to link directly to Google maps to get directions was fantastic.
Although there is good information im kind of disappointed. I've purchased other versions last year when it had the favorite saved on the map feature. It helped you plan your trip by section of the island (i.e. allowed you to plan seeing everything in that area for each day or if it's a day trip, what's on the path you plan on taking). I doubt they will bring this feature back before we go on vacation. Wish I knew this feature was gone before I purchased.
