WalkMe | Walking in Madeira

For people who want to tray some levadas without guide, this app is a must.

So good to be able not just to know the basic details of a walk but also your precise location, so as to know whether still in route and roughly how far!

I used for a holiday in Madeira. The list of walks was not exhaustive, the information was either not up to date (walks closed as a result of wildfires) or incomplete. There was a lack of in-depth or insightful information - other sources and sites provided better. The links to transport information (particularly buses) was difficult to follow (partly due to the poor & confusing local bus information). On the plus side the app worked and the geo-location was reassuring generally. However, on the one walk we really needed it, the diversion route was not shown on geolocation so might as well have not bothered. Would not recommend.

We used this to pick and plan three hikes whilst on holiday. It was fantastic! We didn’t get lost, the comments from others are highly valuable. I would just check weather separately for different heights before heading - maybe something to be incorporated into the app. 100% worth the money!

Originally explorer price said 5.50 euros then when I created an account and tried to buy it jumped up to 6.99 pounds which is over 8 euros. It’s not a lot but it should be the same price for everyone.

I’ve bought the app but honestly regret it. Not much what app can offer. Everything you can find on internet for free. Also, there is no option to edit/delete submitted comment. No option to upload photos showing current status of levada or some tips. Neeeh…

Great web site but a bit of information on the walks.

This is an awesome app. Well done guys, I’d highly rate this for anyone looking to walk this beautiful island. It’s easy to use, precise and you can save and rate each and every walk you do. The walks are rated by the developers into easy, moderate and hard. They list many stunning walks that just take your breath away with the magnificent views and scenery. Make sure you have good walking boots, drinking water and the right clothing. Enjoy this beautiful island

This app is a must if you are doing levadas in Madeira. Initially, I only used the free levada course available on the app. I quickly realised that it would be wise to purchase the app to ensure that I could fully enjoy all of the information available about levadas.

I bought this app as I love to walk, however the walks I tried to find didn’t work. It just directs you to google maps to find the start of the trail and twice I tried and it was the wrong place! Also it’s so out of date/not updated - kept telling me that one of the trails had to start in a different place due to damage etc and it turned out that this damage occurred in the fires 2 years ago and had been fine to walk on for over a year! I walked this trail myself and it was fine. I did contact the developers but they were kind of dismissive and didn’t want to know. The weather guide is so so wrong also. Would say rain when it was bright sunshine etc and this was every time. Much easier to just speak with other walkers and ask the bus drivers for start points.
