Buen Camino!
Just finished the Portuguese Camino from Lisbon and referred to the app several times to make sure we were on track, or to get us back to the Camino when our accommodations were off the main route. As there have been some routing changes on the Portuguese Camino to avoid busy highways, it was not always 100% accurate, but combined with Google Maps, iOS Maps and our written route descriptions, it helped. Honestly, if Google or Apple could just add the Caminos to their Map applications, it would be far more helpful. After 4 weeks of walking, I was getting tired of toggling back and forth between applications. There were also a lot of cafes & restaurants en route that did not show up when we searched in the tool, but did in one of Map applications. I will probably use it again unless something better comes along before I head back in a couple of years.
If you’re on the Camino get this app!
This app was so easy to use and invaluable while walking the Camino. Quick to reference the route!
Pretty good
Just finished the French Way using Camino Tool. It’s easy to use and fairly intuitive. I like the visual map with the GPS. It’s helpful to follow. There are several areas of improvement needed. It’s really slow to load. Really slow. With 5G over most of Spain, this was ridiculous. It’s hard to shift from the map to the list of towns with distances. The accommodation list is pitifully incomplete. It didn’t show alternative routes. It didn’t show changes in the route so often it was useless. It should have an option for user input for updates, changes, comments and corrections.
This is the only app I tried, only app I used. I will look at other apps that have improvements before I use Camino Tool again
Used this app more than any other
This app was a Camino saver. Used it many times a day to keep us on track and find meals. Highly recommend! We used Portuguese coastal and central trails.
Error message if no login
This app demands a login and provides an error message if trying to access without a user. Tired of forced data collection on me. Looks like it could be useful but unless we can access without giving up our personal data I’ll never know.
Couldn’t open
I downloaded the app. Looked promising. Opening page asked for email, then for an emailed code. That email never arrived. No other option available to log in. Tried to open with apple, but it said the email was already part of an account and looped me back to email opening asking for a code I never received. I gave up and deleted the app. Too bad, I am on the Camino Portuguese right now, and it could have helped. If you see this, sirs, post a solution. I could find no way to communicate with you via your web site. DFB
This app is a mess
This app is a mess. If you try to login using an email, The developers are supposed to send you a code. They don’t and when you ask them to they send you a number which doesn’t work. This app is it utter mess.
The Camino at your finger tips.
This was a great app to use as a guide. This was my first Camino so CaminoTool really made it easy finding places to stay and keeping me on track. A great tool to have as backup in following The Way.
Hard to navigate in app
The app makes it very hard or you cannot at customize to make it your camino. More of a fun app than useful.
Excellent App - Very accurate navigation tool
Just finished French Camino. Excellent tool. It incorporates all alternative routes and with the location based position it helps you to arrive to the correct path.
Pictures of terrain profile are very accurate.
