Wise Pilgrim Camino Francés for Positive User Reviews

FantasticNo review,the proof is in the pudd'n!.Version: 1.4.4

New userI 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.Version: 5.6.0

Lost my paper guide, delighted with this replacementI lost (left) my guide book on the train to Pamplona and downloaded this as a replacement. Not disappointed in the slightest..Version: 2.1.2

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 :).Version: 3.0.3

Indespensible GuideEveryone else carried a guide book but with this iOS app, no books were necessary and I was grateful to have updated content during my Camino. The "Comments" were indispensable and helped my better ascertain which albergues would be a good fit. Also it was a benefit to read other people's reviews of their stay and of their journey. I am continually recommending this guide to other pilgrims. Thanks for creating such a professional product!.Version: 2.1.6

Can't recommend enoughGreat 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!.Version: 2.0.7

Had everything needed and more!Had everything needed and more. It even included old and closed albergues, which saved me a bit of unnecessary walking at the end of the day. I will carry it next year when I walk the second half..Version: 1.4.4

Terrific appThe best comprehensive app for many Camino routes..Version: 5.6.3

Don't walk Camino without this AppThis 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..Version: 2.2.7

FantasticFantastic 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!!!.Version: 2.2.10

Helpful and well designed app (and guide)I am returning to the Camino for second time and I found this guide to be very helpful and well designed on my first trip. My favorite features are the maps, elevation charts, and albergue listings - easy to use and have just the right amount of detail. Well done Wise Pilgrim..Version: 2.2.10

Wouldn’t leave home without it.Great tool. Will be my main guide on my 5th camino this year..Version: 3.0.3

Exactly what I needed!I walked part of the Camino in June 2018 and found this app incredibly helpful overall! Unlike many other pilgrims, I did not have to stop and unpack a bulky guidebook every time I wanted to check distances or find the closest bar. All I had to do was pull out my phone and voila! Overall, I found the descriptions of albergues/towns and the route of the camino itself very accurate. Some of the prices of the albergues were slightly different but otherwise everything was great and I did not have any surprises. I also found the elevation profile very helpful for quickly visualizing distance between pueblos and the amenities offered. The online map was also very useful. For some reason, my phone tracks my GPS location accurately even on airplane mode without wifi so I was always able to know exactly where I was on the map. The map itself was very accurate. The only small annoying thing was that every time you open it, it resets to the standard starting place. Overall, I would recommend this app to anyone looking to get accurate maps and information about albergues and pueblos along the way. I found it to be a very good, and often more up-to-date alternative to carrying around a heavy guidebook. 10/10 :).Version: 2.2.14

My only GuidebookIn an effort to lighten my backpack on the Camino de Santiago, I reluctantly left my guidebook at home and instead installed several iPhone apps, including the Wise Pilgrim Camino Frances app. I rarely used any other app and found this had virtually everything I needed. I used it to calculate how far I might walk, where I might stay, and what to see along the way. It did not have a ton of information, but I preferred to not over plan my pilgrimage. Several pilgrim friends would come to me to ask where to stay in particular villages. Overall, excellent value and I would definitely use it again, and keep the guidebook at home..Version: 1.2

Extremely HelpfulHas all the information you need..Version: 1.4.4

So detailed and helpfulI completed my second Camino Frances this past summer, and this app was a game changer. Not only did it give me comfort along to way, but I learned so much more about each town. I really appreciated all it added to our walk. Will definitely be using the Norte version when I go back:).Version: 2.2.10

Camino LadyI found this app very helpful. The reviews on the albergues were great and helped me pick places to stay. Elevations were helpful. Maps (because I was not online) did not help me but were helpful to others..Version: 2.2.7

CaminanteAn indispensable app for the seasoned or novice traveller.Version: 2.2.3

Super-useful walking aidMost useful for me were the offline map and the user albergue reviews. The first helped me numerous times to keep my bearings even when I couldn’t count on a cellular connection. The camino is well-marked but even so there are plenty of points when I got a little turned around, and this offline map helped me get back on track. The second was invaluable for choosing where to stay at night. I didn’t always choose only based on this guide but I often benefited from warnings of a bedbug issue or else just glowing comments about a given albergue. It lef me to many wonderful places and people. A third praiseworthy thing that occurs to me is the local historical and cultural info given on many towns. It gave me things to look out for or ways to appreciate where I was and what I was seeing. This context offered good reminders since it was often easy to forget about everything except the matter of walking, eating, and sleeping (of course that was good in its own way). I did use a print guide also and google from time to time so I cannot say what a Camino would be like using only this app guide. Regardless, I am very glad I had it (I still look at it from time to time to remember the experience)..Version: 4.0.7

Three Bits of AdviseWhen talking to people planning their Camino I give them three bits of practical advise: 1. You don’t need boot—use trail running shoes. 2. Learn some Spanish. 3 Get the Wise Pilgrim app..Version: 2.2.10

Invaluable appThanks Michael, for all your Wise Pilgrim work!.Version: 5.6.3

Very good app - straight forwardVery good app. Easy to use and follow. Good info. Like it a lot..Version: 1.4.4

INVALUABLEI 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..Version: 3.0.3

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!.Version: 3.0.3

Easy to use, helped me get back on trackUsed this app for 500 miles. I used it daily. I was able to see when I deviated from the path a few times and the reviews for paths, lodging and cafes was very helpful. I could link to wahstsapp numbers for lodging to call ahead for a bed. Developer is very responsive to feedback. I’ll use the portugal version for my next camino..Version: 5.6.0

Great replacement for a heavy guidebookI 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..Version: 2.0.7

Worth the money!So I used this app when walking the camino last year. It plots out all the main stretches on the map. All the albergues that you need on the route. The map is accurate. The app is basic, but it’s really all you need. Simple is better in book. Would recommend it to anyone. Hope you enjoy and buen camino..Version: 5.4.1
