Parks Canada App Customer Insights

1. Actually worse than the Parks website!So plan a winter trip to Glacier Park.

2. Needs more work to be user friendly.Not sure what this app does? All trails are not even present.

3. The Parks Canada Full website is a failure too.i hate to think this was paid for by tax dollars that where diverted from the parks where it is needed more.

4. It does have some functionality that nobody needs though, like packing lists! Very disappointing.

5. This app holds no value and honestly it would be better removing the lettering of this app from the park pass brochure just to save the money on ink compared to using this app.Great app.

6. Booking online is the reason I installed the app! There needs to be another area in the app so you can log on and confirm your identity.

7. Info on winter permits (no), avalanches (no), snow profiles (no), closure areas (no).

8. No information is provided about sites or anything you would expect in a government app for national or provincial parks.

9. There is no integration with the reservation system, no park/trail maps, no event calendar.

10. Parka 101 does not work at all as the button is dead.

11. I was expecting an app that tied into the booking system and gave me a list of my reservations.
