GREAT APP. Please read this after reading negative reviews.

I am in Maui now, with an iPad2 with no cellular service at all, and with an iPhone 4S from which the SIM card is removed. WiFi is off. This app clearly and exactly finds either device on the Maui map in the app. I lack the skill to determine whether it’s using GPS or GLONASS, but I know the hardware is there for either. It is hard for me to imagine the struggles of those who find the app to “need a cellular signal.”

I can’t find text in the book that is not in the app, including the exact access descriptions for the beaches.

As with any travel app, some entries are out of date. It is now 2015 after all. Monsoon India has closed its Lahaina location, but is still at Kihei (and is to be avoided, in my opinion). Son’z has possibly been renamed Japengo at the Hyatt Regency Kaanapali. Waterfront Restaurant in Ma’alea has closed. Saigon Seafood is closed.

Maui’s law has changed re corkage fees for restaurant guests with wine cellars who want to bring their own special bottles (and pay for that privilege). Such notes might be good additions to a future edition. Lahaina Grill & Japengo do not permit this, but Merriman’s in Kapalua does, and my Oregon pinot noir from my cellar was very good indeed.

My suggestions are so esoteric in nature that THIS MUST BE A GREAT APP. IT IS A GREAT APP, AND HAS BEEN VERY WELL IMPLEMENTED. Pay no heed to the critics, and perhaps [oh, never mind].
