Wise Pilgrim Camino Francés

Has been handy for maps, info and accommodation, though lacks completeness of places to stay and Camino Complimentario sections, map is occasionally inaccurate, user comments are often in the wrong section (town rather than Albergue etc). Most frustratingly when trying to use the ‘locate me’ feature in the places list the app simply crashes and closes.

Used daily on my Camino from SJPP. Invaluable.

Amazing app constantly updated

I’ve used this app while doing the Camino Francés. Although it’s generally good, and relatively easy to navigate, it desperately needs to be updated. The presentation, content and the homepage of the app need a fresh look to make it more appealing. It looks tired and dated.

Great tool. Will be my main guide on my 5th camino this year.

Just bought this and it crashes every time I try to open it.

An indispensable app for the seasoned or novice traveller

Great for planning our day - shows all the amenities in every village at a glance and the distance between each village. Detailed info on the albergues - location, beds, prices, wifi, washing, outside area etc. The app really came into its own in Santiago where the gps map lead us straight to the albergue we had chosen - no walking around with 10kgs looking out for places!

This app was the best $5 I’ve ever spent. It has a useful list of albergues and hotels for every city, pueblo and village on the Camino - with reviews to help you decide. Be sure to use the WhatsApp helper feature - you tell it how many people and what date, and it creates a WhatsApp message in Spanish to request a reservation. I use this feature frequently. But the best feature is the map. It shows your location overlayed on a map of the trail. Not sure if you’re on track? Check the app. It will either reassure you or help you correct your course. I have consulted it frequently on the trail and have never gotten lost. Don’t listen to the old, negative reviews. The app is stable, doesn’t crash, and helps you navigate better than any guidebook.

Thanks Michael, for all your Wise Pilgrim work!
