Wise Pilgrim Camino Portugués App Reviews

This app and the Off-line maps were a fabulous resource for our Camino trip. We used it extensively and appreciated being able to know that we were on the right track when arrows were sparse.

The elevation maps have no Y-axis!? The profile is given, but there’s no way to tell the change in elevation height; no measurement is given. I have the Wise Pilgrim app for Finisterre and the change in elevation IS meters shown on the maps. Without it the map is not very useful-showing only relative height, which make it impossible to tell if something is just a dip or a mountain. I love all the details and the ease of access. It would be great if there were a way to mark and “favorite” any

I always use Wise Pilgrim apps for our Caminos. We have done the Portuguese route various times, Variante Espiritual, the French route (from St. Jean and Ponferrada), and most of the Winter route. Every one we make sure to use these apps. So helpful for navigation, distance, elevation, lodgings, and a little bit of history. Makes the Camino with a family doable.

The app paid for itself as soon as I opened it. The Lisbon guide mentioned the Festival of St. Anthony on June 13th. I was going to start walking on the 12th. Obviously, I changed those plans. I like the map, the links to accommodations, and the recommendations from other users. The app was just updated a few days ago. I’ve used three other Wise Pilgrim routes and they’ve been great.

Hi Michael, I love your apps, but with the Portuguese Coastal route it appears that there is something missing as Vigo isn’t there though it talks about getting through Vigo and the detail ends with Castrelos Park (though there this no detail either only the kms info). Am I missing something? Should I be switching to another section? Thanks!

Absolutely loved this app for navigation on the Portuguese coastal/Litoral Camino. Was spot on for navigating 99%. Not that this would be a difficult route to navigate by simply following the arrows and signs most of the way, but there were several times, especially in larger towns and cities that the app was very useful for not getting lost. Loved that it combined the coastal and Litoral routes. Also very good for the Spiritual Variant, which I highly recommend. Only used this for Navigation,

While this app is very helpful, no one source should be your guide. I use three different sources for guidance. The map function was very helpful on the Frances route putting me back on the route while in a large town. I believe this app should be part of your journey.

Used this during Porto to Santiago and it was quite helpful to help with the mileage. Right now, I can’t seem to get to the Spirtual Variant Section. It does not show up on my IPad even after reloading it.

I’m using this app for the Redondela to Santiago route. When I click on Redondela, it flashes the info then immediately goes blank. This happens on both my iPhone and iPad. The info on the other cities seem to be working. Help! I leave for my Camino on June 17!

I’m on the Camino now and needing to use the app but some sections have descriptions in English, others in German....??? I bought the English version and it was fine before the update. Saw that they fixed the maps from crashing constantly. As of March 2, 2020.

On iPhone 13 Pro with iOS 16.5.1, no route appears on the offline map. This is a pretty significant bug considering offline maps are one of the features that are advertised as what you are paying for. There is also not a clear way to submit a bug report via the app or website, so my only option is through this review.
