iOverlander 2

I get it, you need to charge some money or have adverts, however whilst trying to add a place I got 4 different adverts. Each time I clicked to add a piece of information to one place I got an advert. Ridiculous! Almost unusable now! Somebody else will hopefully come along and build another app that doesn’t have so many ads!

They basically took the original app and locked everything behind a greedy, shameful paywall. Annoying ads pop up constantly and you have to download the region you’re interested in traveling too in order to view it’s camping spots. Problem is, for example, you can only download 1 state at a time before you run out of “free space” and get a prompt that you need to upgrade in order to see more. Completely pointless app and the features you get with a subscription isn’t worth switching over. Stick with the original app.

Have been using original version which worked well except couldnt filter out closed sites. Tried version 2 but it doesnt work: 1) does not show any marked locations on the map even with all filters off. 2) doesnt show my favorites that I saved on the website. Synced the app multiple times to no avail. So, pretty much useless, going back to original version.

really love the update to the original app. LOVE the fact that now you can see your favorites with a little heart on the icon. HUGE help when you’re mapping out several spots before you loose internet/cell service. also love that you can now download maps which is always a concern with off-grid wild camping. Graying out places that have been marked as closed are a massive help. can’t tell you how many times i would tap on a place in the original app only to find out others have marked it as closed. Good update overall.

I have been using iOverlander since 2019. I was so excited to see an updated version come out with some amazing additions like map downloading and favoriting spots. We find and log all of our campsites and other things all over the world on iOverlander. From national forest lands to Walmart parking lots, iOverlander has cataloged thousands upon thousands of places you can camp— many of them for free. It also has spots for water, dump stations, paid campgrounds, propane filling stations, and a lot more. We really find the user reviews on each spot and photos helpful to give us a preview of what to expect at spots. iOverlander has been an absolute game-changer for sticking to our travel budget and planning trips. Best of all, it’s community-driven, so the more people use it, the more robust the database becomes.

Traveling, iPad is the perfect solution: portable, 12V charge, larger screen. Why isn’t it (yet) optimized?

I live full-time in my RV and I have been using IOverlander for a few years to find locations to stay at and to find water re-fills. It has been super helpful to see all the locations and reviews from the overlanding and van-life community. IOverlander 2 has added some useful, new features. I especially like the “my favourites” filter to quickly find all the places I have previously stayed at and it has become easier to look at the pictures people submit. I also appreciated the new, polished look. Everything seems to be working smoothly so far. Hopefully with this Pro version there will be good (financial) support for the developers so they can keep adding more features such as being able to enter GPS coordinates or city-lookup. Thank you iOverlanders and its developers!
