Gronze is still only an website, though, correct?Gronze or Wise Pilgrim is probably your best bet.
Bom Caminho
Just wanted to add that the paid version has considerably more content and features.I used Wise Pilgrim app in April. I used the paid version but the free version seems exactly the same. Just make sure to open the app while on Wi-Fi each morning to refresh it. While the CP is well marked there were parts that weren’t marked or maybe I was confused so I found the app valuable.
True; but by ‘pay’ we’re not talking ‘have to sell a kidney’ territory. It’s about the price of a drink in the UK.Yes. And also in Spanish. But I used it last year and found it helpful. But the Wise Pilgrim app is pretty good, although you have to pay.

I wasn’t sure. My apologies for not saying I didn’t really know. I should have just said the navigation seemed the same but perhaps that is wrong too. Thank you for clarifying.Just wanted to add that the paid version has considerably more content and features.
@laurenjk, I was avoiding giving an answer to this on the basis that I have no idea what the best app is and you provided no criteria on which to frame such advice. However, There is a Gronze app. Details can be found on the web page, somewhat surprisingly by clicking on the menu item 'App' on the top menu bar of the website. It has been available for a while. I have used it, and it provides a quite effective map and contact details tool for all the Gronze content, or works as a portal into the website if more information is required. Not available yet for iOS, but certainly for Android.Gronze is still only an website, though, correct?
No, it also has an app. It's directly available through their website. Look in the main menu for 'App'. I think they're still in the process of perfecting it, but it might be worth taking a look at.Gronze is still only an website, though, correct?
Yes, but it's only for Android, and it's only the maps. It also only works if you have a data connection - no offline content. (Yet)There is a Gronze app.
to be honest i downloaded my Invierno for September some time ago and i did not even know there was a pay version..maybe I paid. I have had good experiences with a number of the routes with WPJust wanted to add that the paid version has considerably more content and features.
Quick question. I bought the big bundle you offered 6 or so years ago. Am isrill getting the paid app content. There were like 7 or 8 apps for different caminos.Just wanted to add that the paid version has considerably more content and features.
So true about this comment. Are use wise pilgrim Buen Camino in Gronze. It is especially helpful because as you said no one app has every listing on where to sleep. They are especially useful if you walk in winter or on the less traveled caminos.My personal view is that there is no one best app. In regards to accommodation on the CP and the VE, I used a combination of Wise Pilgrim, Gronze (app and webpage), Brierley, booking.com and Google Maps. I would never have found all the places that I did stay with just one app.
I think I made it clear that the current version is for Android. As for it needing a data connexion, that is true, and I'm not sure how many members are going to find that limiting. I normally buy a 30 day pre-paid SIM with a reasonable amount of data, so it doesn't really worry me. These are relatively inexpensive, but there may be some who find that limiting. In that case, the Gronze app probably won't be for them.Yes, but it's only for Android, and it's only the maps. It also only works if you have a data connection - no offline content. (Yet)
Hi I'm doing the camino portugues starting July 6th from Porto to santiago a mixture of coast and inland. I'm worried about getting lost. Any tips.

My main concern is that there are members who are still saying there is no Gronze app when there quite clearly is one. Whether one uses the app, or the web site directly, it gives you access to the range of information developed and curated by the Gronze team. It is a great resource.
I buy it in Australia before I leave from a firm named SIM Corner. There are a couple of similar firms in the Australian marketplace.Hi were did u buy your 30 day sim
You absolutely are.Quick question. I bought the big bundle you offered 6 or so years ago. Am isrill getting the paid app content. There were like 7 or 8 apps for different caminos.
Hi Kildare!Hi were did u buy your 30 day sim
I know post-Brexit that there was little change by the UK telcos, and I am currently using a UK SIM which has quite successfully roamed in Spain and Portugal. This year, the SIMs that were delivered for my wife were from a Spanish telco, and she is now successfully roaming in the UK.Hi Kildare!
Just wondered if Irish mobiles have free roaming in Europe
Thanks. That bundle was one of the best investments I ever made!You absolutely are.
Use the Wise Pilgrim app for wayfinding. It’s $4.99. I don’t know how well marked the coast is but I heard it’s pretty easy because you are literally walking a coast path or boardwalk the whole time. I would assume connecting to the central might be tricky but the app will help. I don’t know about your Irish phone because I’m American and I just paid for data on the days I used it.Hi I'm doing the camino portugues starting July 6th from Porto to santiago a mixture of coast and inland.

Use google.When I walked the Francés last fall, I used Camino Ninja (which, then already officially "dead," was wonderful). What app have you used to find and then book albergues, hostels, etc. along the Portuguese? I will be on the coast for the first day, then the inland route. Porto-Santiago. I'm looking to book as I walk. Looking for personal experience...not links to all the apps out there!!
