About Chimani
What Our Customers Say?
I'm a history buff and love the sections for Historical Parks and Battlefields. Great resource. Can't wait to use it on my next trip.
Short and sweet, this app has everything you need to know to plan your trip to the Grand Canyon. I love the real time event information like the Ranger walks and shuttle schedules.
Yellowstone is HUGE and I wish I had this last summer when I was there! I highly recommend any of these apps!

If you purchased your subscription within the app, you'll need to contact Apple directly to request a refund - unforutnatley we don't have any ability to do this. If you purchased your subsctiption via our website, please email us directly.
Why was I charged for a subscription?
There is a three-day free trial for the subscription however if you don't cancel it by the end of the thrid day Apple will charge you for the annual subscription. You'll need to contact Apple directly to request a refund - unforutnatley we don't have any ability to do this.
Where did all your individual apps go and I thought everything was free?
In the fall of 2018 we consolidated all our iOS/Apple individual apps into one and introduced a subscription revenue model. In order to continue to support and develop all the app and guides, we needed to introduce a low-cost revenue model. We plan to complete the consolidation and subscription revenue model on the Android apps by the summer of 2019.
I don't see any Ranger Events Listed.
Ranger events are processed by Chimani as soon as they are available from the National Park Service. Check back often to see if new items have been added to the list of events.
I see an "Updating Data" notification that never completes.
While you may still see the notification, the sync process has completed and the app is no longer downloading data. You can clear this notification in a couple of ways. You can swipe it away or use the clear all button.
Can I download the maps in National Parks by Chimani?
The maps in National Parks by Chimani are online only. For offline maps please use the detailed guide app for a specific park.
I downloaded your app, am I ready to use it in the park? Do I need to do anything else?
Yes, but to ensure an even better experience, we recommend downloading the detailed map for offline use. To do this, open Map and click on the top right menu option (iOS) or the download option (Android) in order to download the maps for offline use.
