Wise Pilgrim Camino Francés App Reviews

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.

Crashes upon open frequently, but just click it 3 or 4 times and it works, so maybe 2 stars would be more appropriate. Not optimized for iPhone X screen size. Used it for partial Camino from SJPDP to Fromista in 2017. Like the elevation profile. Albuergue guide a bit basic but complete, a narrative review might be nice or more user comments would be nice. Comments are recent only. Decent narrative for route but a bit difficult to access, you tap The Provinces, the you find your area. Took a bit

When 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.

Used 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.

Thanks Michael, for all your Wise Pilgrim work!

Well it’s a good thing I follow groups related to camino so I can get more current updated information. Relying on an app that isn’t updated to plan and navigate isn’t all that wise, IMO.

This app’s functionality is highly disappointing. I’m on the Camino now, and more often than not (about 90% of the time), it does not open correctly. That is, the screen open the immediately closes. However, when I view all of the currently open apps, it shows the app as being open. About 25% of the time, I can open the app from there. But the other times I need to close the app fans start over/try again later. When it works, the information is useful.

The app includes decent information from what I've been able to gauge. But the app crashes more than 50% of the time. There are times when you cannot get it to work when you need to make a decision about the way to go. You just can't count on it...
