Excellent information. All offline. Great maps. This is such a great resource.

I find this an excellent and easy to use app while walking the Camino. I have made the Camino 4x. Once without any apps and 3x with this and one other. I always go to this app first.

A great tool for walking The Way that provides some great tips and general help but it is surprisingly outdated. I love that it is all offline but I would really like to see an option for users to provide updates on each town, albergue, cafe, etc. rather than just emailing the creator each time.

Dan DeJong

This is an edit. This app has now come in handy as a compliment to other apps. Happy to have it.

Carter Coe

I really want to express my gratitude towards the developers. I walked the entire Camino Frances in spring with only this app on my phone and no other guidebook. Its part of my great camino experience. Thank you for that.

Excellent! Simple, good info and very east to follow. Highly recommended.

Using this right now on the Camino. Although it's a fantastic app, when used alongside other great apps, it really needs an update as there are now way more albergues not listed and the prices seem to have inflated somewhat. A lot of the info listed is already a bit dated. We've turned up to albergues and recommended restaurants to find they shut months ago.

Used the app in July 2017. Highly recommended, you definitely can't get lost If you download this app.

This was the app I used every day on my Camino. I had the Br Guide, but found this app so much more useful. History was interesting, and the description of Alburgues most helpful. Easy to use and help plan your day.

Love the new altitude profiles, what a great addition to an already excellent app.
