"Do you remember the genius app Camino-Ninja? Well, the developer was Andy, and he sadly passed away last summer. Things were technically complicated, but very recently we were finally able to save all the wonderful data of the app and upload it into the existing app CaminoCamino. Search for it, and you will find all the albergues in this app already (and forgive us some missing translations - they will be repaired with the next update in a few days, when the app will be available in 8 (!) languages).
But not only the data of Camino Ninja, but also the app itself was genius and loved by 100,000 pilgrims last year alone. That's why we keep trying to bring this app back into the app stores.
Unfortunately Andy has not not left a manual for us... But we are almost done reverse engineering everything, and hopefully the app will be back for new downloads in a matter of some weeks.
This is the two good news I want to share with you. Spread the word!
Buen Camino!

That's great news. Andy's app was astonishingly good, one of the most practical and user-friendly of all.This info is from a Facebook group:

No app or website is 100% accurate in terms of opening/closing dates or a complete list of places to lay our pilgrim heads. I doubt that this comes as news to youThis is excellent news! As much as I appreciate the other popular apps, I always found Camino Ninja to be the simplest and most straightforward. Andy saved me a few times from getting (too) lost. He also had some albergues listed that the other apps didn't have. Well done!
Can the app be used offline???This info is from a Facebook group:

Download it and see. I couldn't find much utility in it - yet. It sounds like they have plans for more updates.Can the app be used offline???
I don't think that @wayfarer is involved in the project. He just posted a quotation from a Facebook page that told about the new project being undertaken by the following group@wayfarer
Thanks for picking up Andy's work, hopefully you can reverse engineer it back to an App that had the ease of use as 'Camino Ninja'
Keep up the good work

This year I added a feature to the Wise Pilgrim apps which specifically warns that “today” is very close to the scheduled open or close date.It is also impossible for the app developers to know when an albergue owner may decide to close, even for the season as it gets closer to the end of the year.
I'm just the messenger, it's not my work.@wayfarer

Fwiw, most of the Camino apps do that.Great news - thanks for all the hard work.
For me the best use of Camino Ninja is the "if I start here" page - seeing how far each next town is from the hypothetical starting point.
I have the old Ninja app on my phone. Do I need to delete it and download the new one? Or will the old one update?This info is from a Facebook group:

I like that it gives cumulative distances, so I don't have to add up small amounts.Fwiw, most of the Camino apps do that.
Wise Pilgrim and Buen Camino apps do this too.I like that it gives cumulative distances, so I don't have to add up small amounts.
Sounds to me like they used another app altogether and recreated the Camino Ninja app on their existing platform. If I am correct - then you do need to delete Nina and download CaminoCaminoI have the old Ninja app on my phone. Do I need to delete it and download the new one? Or will the old one update?
In it's current state this new app is NOT a re-creation of the Camino Ninja app. They may have used the data from Camino Ninja, but the format is not the same at all. Perhaps that will change.Sounds to me like they used another app altogether and recreated the Camino Ninja app on their existing platform
I do like this feature; it’s a nice nudge to double check with the albergue.This year I added a feature to the Wise Pilgrim apps which specifically warns that “today” is very close to the scheduled open or close date.
Yes, don’t delete. I did a reset on my phone and lost access to it.Don't delete it! If you delete it you won't be able to download it again. The new app does not have the same functionality, at least not yet.
It’s now named Camino LoveGood news! And love that it will be available in 8 languages. Now I just have to remember the name of this other app. Camino Ninja was such a great name to remember. I like using a combination of the different apps.

I just saw that they’re considering changing the icon for the app to:
View attachment 144918
I haven’t checked this morning, but the change hadn’t got to the Apple App Store by the time I posted that
Honestly, this app is really nothing like the old Camino Ninja app. I wouldn't be in a hurry to download it, especially when other functional Camino apps like Wise Pilgrim and Buen Camino exist.Is there any chance this will come to iphone?
Hi, I've been using camino ninja for a ,long time, but recentely i've updated my iphone for ios 17 and now the maps doesn't opens. Any suggestions?This info is from a Facebook group:

Never mind. Download a dedicated map app (I use OSMand) and use it side by side with any other app you use.Any suggestions?
I can't find the Del Norte route, is that me or doesn't Ninja cover it? Many thanks.
No, Camino Ninja doesn't cover the Norte. I can recommend the Buen Camino and Wise Pilgrim apps.I can't find the Del Norte route, is that me or doesn't Ninja cover it? Many thanks.
Thanks, I have both those but did find Camino Ninja easy to use when I was walking Camino Portugal and did wonder.No, Camino Ninja doesn't cover the Norte. I can recommend the Buen Camino and Wise Pilgrim apps.
