Very helpful!

If you have this APP you do not need any map for New Zealand which is very helpful. It is the easiest way to find a campground, an i-Site or interesting things to do in the area.

Best NZ App

Great value! We have used it every day on our tour.

A Must Have

Really weird calculation method of the rating percentage. Fotos do not load sometimes or very slowly. Despite that it is a superb App for traveling NZ by Motorhome. Thanks!

Great App

I like the app, because its easy to use and has a great offline mode. The last thing, Im missing is support for the iPhone 6 Plus display resolution.

Best Travel App! Ever!

The App is really amazing and help us every day on our travel :)

Best travel App

All information including reviews offline available. Tons of insider information and great filter functions for campings or free/paid activities. Helped us to avoid tourist traps and stay off the beaten track. Wish this app existed for Europe as well.

Amazing App for your Trip to NZ!

- its free with no hidden costs! - great and easy discounts for loyal activities that really work - Great roadmap so you do not get lost - so easy to find a campground for the Night - many Reviews on Each campground - JUST GREAT! Used it every day

Very useful but sometimes when online, the maps are changing from online status to offline status.

Great app

We used this app all across NZ and it never let us down. We used it to determine the best campsites in every area we visited. We read the reviews on the campsites and chose by that. Most reviews were perfectly correct and so we chose what other people were recommending. We loved this app and highly recommend it!

Worth it!

Great app, would definitely recommend to anyone that wants to camp in New Zealand

Great App!

I brought this last week to help me plan my summer camping trips and I must say I am impressed so far. Great interactive map and information on the campsites. I find the reviews helpful (and sometimes amusing) and will enjoy giving my own when I finally get on the road. You could get a lot of the info for free with about three guide books, hours on the net, several brochures but I dont have the time to investigate to that degree. This app has it all at your finger tips and I am happy with my investment!! Good on ya Team Rankers!!

Gotta have it when camping in NZ

This app is awesome when camping in NZ. can be downloaded for off line searches of most campsites around NZ, including freedom campsites. Loved the reviews of each campsite too. Was indispensable for our week long tour of central north island. Found amazing campsites and dump stations using this app offline. Even used it as a gps at times! Great app! Thanks so much!

Most useful guide to New Zealand camping

The Rankers websites campground map page is a great resource (especially if touring in a motorhome) but required Internet access. Most of these sites arent in TripAdvisor or Lonely Planet. This app gets you the locations and descriptions and user reviews of every camping site in New Zealand. In particular, identification of the free camping sites (really important given the changes in camping laws) all downloadable for offline use (yes, lots of NZ lacks cell data, and even where you have it you might not want to burn it on using the website). Cant quite give it five stars as I have seem some crashes in downloading, but even so, very useful.

A Must Have App for Camping in NZ!!

This is the PERFECT app for a campervan tour of NZ.Awesome access to reviews and detailson each park and campground. Big Plus was the map that located our gps position consistently. Mind you this was without NZ cell service or WiFi (I suspect it must be thru the GPS location services turned on thru the icloud etc) Predownload all maps b4Ugois a must and you can read the reviews before you book or just pull in for the night. We just returned from a 2 week blitz of both Islands and found this app INVALUABLE for 2 wandering or lost Americans ( ..at times). Huge Kudos and thanks to the developers for putting this together.. One suggestion in the future is to feature WIFI hotspots for campers, paid or otherwise. (Dependable, Non price gouging WIFI was the only frustrating thing we encountred in NZ. With the beauty of your country, to be able to share it back home on the net is a must for the 21st century)

Fabulously useful

This app is the next best thing to being an NZMCA member. The information is great, and the ability to quickly find nearby overnight parking for free or cheap has paid for the price of the app many times over in the first week of use. Thanks for putting together such a valuable resource!

Very useful app - both map and campsites

We just got back from 10 days in NZ on the South Island. We used this app to identify good campsites, but also to help with navigation. With location services turned on it was a great help for getting around. Suggestions for improvement that would help get it 4 or 5 stars: - when choosing favorite campsites, highlight on the map where favorites were selected, not just in the pop-out side bar. Maybe a new color. - enable a distance calculation without going online. All the info is in the downloaded map, should be able to choose two points and calculate distance. - include simple, local, instructions for finding campsite that does not require Internet access. Address is included, but nothing else like on the corner of pine and 3rd, across from the petrol station... - unclear how to add our ratings or comments on the campgrounds. Should embed the feature so people can do it while at the site. - continue to add activity info - so much available in pamphlets around the country, would be nice to include it in a more friendly fashion.

Works some of the time.

Sometimes it works. A lot of the time it freezes up. And it isnt even anywhere near close to being complete. Altogether its a rip off, and doesnt do what it advertises, even when it isnt frozen.

iOS 5.1.1 Crash

App works great on my iPhone 5s but crashes on startup on my 1st generation iPad that is running iOS 5.1.1. It would be awesome if that could be fixed.

This is the right app

If you are renting a campervan, or packing a tent, or looking for cabins in the woods; then this is the most helpful app you can download for NZ. The cost may be a little expensive, but when planning my trip through New Zealand, I couldnt have done it without it. There isnt anything out there that is this comprehensive!
