I just tried your Travel North Carolina app and it seems like it will be useful. However, of the few things I checked (Cape Fear Botanical Gardens, some breakfast places), there was no listing of days open or times. One breakfast place said to go early if going on Saturday, but what is early, and are they open on other days? If we are going to drive all over the state, I would like to know if a place is open before I go.
Terri, thanks for downloading the app and for giving us some feedback. We’ll look to include that information as the app continues to grow. As with information that appears in both the magazine and on the app, we recommend you call before going to verify hours of operation. Many mountain and coastal establishments have hours that may vary greatly between seasons. In order to save a step while you’re using the app, you can click on the phone number and you’ll be connected to call or click on the website address provided and you’ll be right on that point of interest’s website.
Again, thanks for your thoughts! We look forward to continue to grow the app and including more information and features as we do!
I just download the app and found a tab for wineries but nothing for breweries. There are nearly 50 NC craft breweries affiliated with the NC Brewers Guild and many others that are not. I feel you are missing a large piece of information there. http://www.ncbeer.org
Josh, thanks for downloading and giving us some feedback! We are definitely working to expand the app and will be including breweries in the future. Again, thanks for your thoughts and sharing the information about the NC Brewers Guild.
Just downloaded the iPhone app but was unable to find it for my iPad. If available it usually downloads to both simultaneously. Is it still in the development stage?
thanks,
jim
Jim, the iPhone version does function on the iPad. However, you have to load it onto the iPad from the iPhone app store. Hopefully this helps. Thanks for downloading and supporting Our State!
Have enjoyed using this app so far, however I cannot log in to my twitter account to share my trips. I can click on authorize app but it does nothing. Fixing this and, as mentioned before, adding breweries would be a step in the right direction!
Please change my email from showing you can use miles as the name…autocorrect haha thanks
Miles, we’re working with our developer to resolve the Twitter client issue. Thanks for downloading the app and supporting Our State!

Hey, I’m an old fogie. Can I just print parts of it out on paper?!
For a free app, I was surprised that it needs access to “Services that cost you money: “. Which services? How much money?
Hi Tom, There is no cost for use of the app or access to its contents. As is the case for most apps, you must have a data plan with your phone service provider. Please feel free to call us with any questions at 800-948-1409.
Just downloaded the app to my itouch but can’t find it on there, any suggestions?
Hi Angela, if the app still has not appeared on your iTouch, you may try downloading it again. If this does not work, please feel free to give us a call at 800-948-1409 and we will do our best to help!
As a “senior” I do not have all the new fancy devices! Can I just get info via my computer? New to the state – would love to have all this info! LuLu
Hi LuLu,
Unfortunately, the Travel North Carolina app is only available on smartphones. We have tons of information about the state on our website, as well as in some special publications available at the Our State Store: http://www.ourstatestore.com/Tar-Heel-Towns-Day-Trips-and-Weekends_p_411.html
