- Time of past OR future Camino
- May/June 2024
Hello - I tried searching old posts to avoid asking the same question twice - got some answers and have some new ones! As I prepare to undertake my first camino (Route Frances) starting in mid-May), I'm trying to get the apps I need and comfortable with them before I go. Because I'm currently in treatment for breast cancer and expect I may be taking the route rather easy and unplanned, I want to be sure I have apps where I can easily not only find accommodations - but Ideally an app that also has reviews of the accommodations. Buen Camino was one recommended to me - and it seems really great - but the font on it is so tiny it's almost unusable for me (I have to use a magnifier!). I've increased the text size on my iphone all the way to max and it doesn't make a difference. I couldn't find any settings options within the app to help. Any ideas?
As far as other apps, I read Camino Ninja was great but many thought it was discontinued. I found it.. but not sure if it's the same old one bc there are no reviews. That one also has tiny font I can't adjust - and not sure how up to date any of these apps are with respect to full list of accommodations?
I'm mainly only concerned about having something my first night in SFPdP bc I arrive later (around 8:30) and then again mid-way through the extra mountainous first leg (I'm not sure if Napoleon will be reopened by the time I arrive).
Apologies for so many questions - so to recap - which apps? Can I increase font size in Buen Camino or Camino Ninja? Any thoughts on booking first couple nights; I'm having trouble finding availability already in SJPdP for those that takes rez in advance, arriving May 19 or May 20. Thank you!
