APP for iPhone

Any recommendation for iPhone?
I tried Camino Pilgrim by Moemke which I like very much but it's Android.
Thank you.

There are number of apps for iPhone. The one I used most last year when I walked from St Jean to Santiago was TrekRight. Good GPS mapping so when I was unsure wether Id missed a turn I could check. Also Wise Pilgrim Guide is an alternative app with GPS mapping. And downloading Brierleys guide and Gerald Kellys guide and numerous ebooks about the camino onto Kindle kept me entertained after walking.
Also downloading links to Gronze.com for a good list of accommodation and Google translate for booking accommodation by email, as my Spanish is abysmal, were useful.
Of course the apps are there to make the organisation of the journey easier, take away any stress.
Enjoy the journey Ultreia!

I also used TrekRight. I didn't use it a whole lot on the trail but it was useful when needed and also for checking out locations of albergues if the first choice was full.

This is a "belly-button" issue here in the Forum. Just as we all have one, there will be many and varied opinions. Some people even have more than one in this instance...yikes!

Anyway, my considered opinion having used both an iPod Touch (three Caminos) and now an iPhone 6s for my fourth Camino (I leave for Madrid on Monday), I recommend the Wise Guides. They are available on the Apple app store and are available for most all Camino routes (except the one I am taking this year, from Madrid, of course). The information in these apps is HUGE and the price is very small. You can even buy "bundles" of several Camino routes at reduced price.

As another poster commented, they even have a GPS capability, which I hope to try for the first time in late April, once the Madrid Route intersects to the "main spine of the Camino de Santiago," the Camino Frances, at Sahagun.

You might do better. You can definitely do worse. While the Wise Guides started out somewhat sketchy several years ago, they have now blossomed into proper, full-featured, and regularly updated apps, at least IMHO.

I hope this helps.
