Old Faithful Countdown

Get notified when the world's most famous geyser is going to erupt! If you are in Yellowstone and are planning on seeing Old Faithful, get the app that won't let you miss an eruption. The app can alert you when an eruption is imminent. It will also automatically update so you can be sure that the countdown is as accurate as information is available. PREDICTIONS ARE NOT ALWAYS AVAILABLE! Customizations include enable/disable auto synchronization, configurable sync period, enable sound, vibrate or visual notification, and alarm thresholds.

Showed the same info that was posted at the old faithful inn, not sure what else you could expect. Was super nice to be able to show the kids when they kept asking when it would erupt... every 2 minutes.

I'm here at Old Faithful with 3g and the app can't get an update. Useless, un install.

This app only tells me it is authenticated to 50%, but doesn't do anything else.

I don't think it was the Apps fault (I think it was YNPs fault) but it never showed the time for the next eruption

Horrible app. Doesnt work at all. Tried multiple times and it states no info is available.

It is not accurate. Im sitting here at Old Faithful, and the app is not showing the correct time.

Seemed well synced with the clock at the geyser. Allowed me to schedule stops accordingly.

The old faithful section won't work just closes the app. Any other selection redirects to "where's the bear" app which cost $0.99

This app is pretty accurate! Get it! I recommend maybe users being able to update when it goes off if they are within 1000ft. or so of the geyser?

Wonderful app. Gave a very accurate prediction! How do they do it?

I am geyser gazer who frequently utilizes the live webcams on the NPS website. Knowledge of geysers comes second nature to me so I can tell you about Old Faithful. Old Faithful is well faithful but any geyser no matter the regularity will have some frequency of randomness to it. So just because an eruption is predicted at 1200 does not mean it will erupt at 1200, it probably will erupt in a window around 1200 give or take 10 minutes. So in all an app with accurate predictions of Old Faithful. And remember we just predict geysers not schedule them.

All it says is no eruption time available. I'm glad I didn't spend any cash in this worthless app. Dont get.

Every time I tried to open it stated, "Unfortunately Old Faithful app has stopped working. Guess it got overheated.
