Wise Pilgrim Camino Francés - Reviews, Revenue and Downloads - Apple App Store

Description

No Signup. No Login. Celebrating its 12th year as a mobile app, and their 14th online, the Wise Pilgrim Guides are the go-to source of up-to-date information on the Camino de Santiago.

The app is updated regularly with new content and new features and offers you the ability to leave tips for pilgrims following behind you.

This guide covers the Camino Francés, the most popular route across Spain. It has been redesigned and now works almost exclusively offline (to share your comments with others will require a data connection). As more an more albergues share their WiFi this becomes less of an issue, and the guide will tell you which ones offer WiFi.

Accommodation Directory: A full directory of Albergues, camping, hotels, pensions, paradors, and cases rurales. Over 900 in total, with special attention to those that can be booked online.

Stageless Guide: No more "stage anxiety" or guide created bottlenecks.

Maps: Offline and online versions of a beautiful topographical may will give you a good view of the terrain ahead.

Photos: Photos of albergues, monuments and other points of interest along the way. Currently 900+ images and growing.

Scrollable Elevation Map: This one is hard to show with just a screenshot, but the elevation that appears at the top of every city page scrolls East to West. One complete elevation, from St. Jean Pied de Port to Santiago, uninterrupted by page folds.

Comments: Albergue closed early for the season? Have a restaurant that you want to share, or perhaps one to warn others about? Every location in the app gives you the opportunity to leave a comment and to read the comments left by others. No registration necessary.

¡Buen Camino and thank you for your support!

I have only just started using this app, but have found it very helpful in my planning and research. It has a lot of good information and is easy to use

Great! Simple, and comprehensive.

I don’t see an option to contact the developer, either through the app or the website, so I’m posting a feature request and tiny bug report here; 1/ feature request; it would be great to have a scale marker on the maps so one can judge the distances. 2/ big report; the page for Najera, in the La Rioja section, comes up blank when connected to the internet. When offline, it works fine. I haven’t noticed this affecting any other page so far. Thanks for a great handy app!

Great app but could use one more thing..

This app was great on the CF, used it everyday for the map and to find Accom. Can you please include in your next addition whether an Albergue will allow you to pitch a tent and also the cost for use of showers and toilets? And also if there is a safe place/locker to leave your pack while you’re out after settling in? Some of us love to camp and still want to be close to our Camino family :)

INVALUABLE

I am walking the Camino Francés and have found this app to be invaluable. I did not want to carry a book adding additional weight to my luggage. The guide is informative and educational. I refer to the guide each evening before I head out. The offline map is fabulous, and will ensure that you remain on the path without using a SIM or resorting to WiFi. The elevation guide is most helpful. Easy to use. Well worth the expense.

Fantastic

Fantastic app! Much lighter than carrying a book. The elevation guide is priceless when you’re figuring out whether to walk a few extra kms or not. Would sometimes crash or bug out but was nothing a restart wouldn’t fit. Thank you!!!

Don't walk Camino without this App

This app literally saved my life when I walk Camino Frances in 2015. I was clueless about who to expect as it was a spur of the moment decision but having been told about this app a couple of days before I set out was a God send. The elevation maps where fantastic and allowed me to plan rest time before tackling the steep ascents. Places to fill up your water, distance between towns for food. An interface to book accommodation when I needed it. Most of all not having read the guide books, this have me extremely good history of the area and the key sites along the journey. Brilliant. I also have the Camino Primitivo app which I walked in 2016, honestly without it I would have been totally lost. But the online maps again saved my life and allowed me to pinpoint the exact location where I was to give specific directions to my transfer that has to pick me up. Brilliant apps, I give it 4star as more listings of hotels/motels than Alburgues could improve it.

Great replacement for a heavy guidebook

I used this app almost every day I navigate my way along the Camino. I say "almost" as the map function needed to be loaded while you are on the net and if it crashed (which it did a little too often) it won't reload until you connect again. Apart from that it's a great resource to plan out each day, where to stay, make sure you're on track and read a little about the towns and landmarks you pass by.

I want my money back!

This app basically does nothing. I was so disappointed. I was hoping it would map my progress or show me where I was like on Google Maps. But this is a swindle. I will investigate getting a refund.

What does it do?????????

I have downloaded this app in the expectation that it will help planning. Despite numerous attempts to download information on just the first stage, I have a basic map with elevations and some background about what the app is supposed to do. Basically nothing. What is going on???
