Well said Matt[...]Kind of takes the mystique and surprise out if it. [...]
It's brill...! Has just about everything you need info wise, I'll be using it in conjunction with my Brierley Guide in July..
Can you please email me when it's in android version, as leaving beginning July... thetravellingpen@gmail.com thank you!Thank you everyone for the kind words.
yes I agree, I'm toying whether to even take a mobile....I almost wish I didn't get the app; it's too good lol! Kind of takes the mystique and surprise out if it. When I go on my Camino, I'll just use it for albergues and otherwise pretend I don't have it.
Will you let us know when the Android version is available, please.Thank you everyone for the kind words.
Of what does the "full functionality" consist? I'm not particularly impressed with the base app --- lots of glitz, a little bit of common sense without much specifics, more of the same "spiritual" and "inspirational" stories and quotes that eat up way too much space (strictly my opinion) in the original Brierley guide. The website and app are VERY vague about what is actually provided.I have just installed the eCamino app which is available for iOS, Android and Windows Phone 8 and is based on the Brierley guide for the Camino Frances. I think it is a fairly new app and whilst initially it is free you can update it from within the app for £7.49 to get the full functionality of the Brierley guide. I have done this and my initial impressions are very favourable. I will see how good it is in July!! More information at www.ecamino.eu I ought to add that it appears to have been developed with John Brierley's help.
As another Samsung user, I'd also love to know when the android version comes out please.Thank you everyone for the kind words.
I just downloaded the android app. and everytime I try to look at the maps, it crashes. What can I do?Thank you everyone for the kind words.
Personally, I wouldn't bother with Brierley, event though its a great read. I did the whole Frances without it and never wished I had one; instead, I took the fabulous (and very light) CSJ guide which was invaluable on many occasions for the pensions and private hostals. I tore out and threw away each page as I finished with it to save weight. Don't forget to print the fabulous excel spreadsheet that some lovely person has made on put on here somewhere. Those two 'guides' were all I had and were perfect. If you ever want to read up on something historical in Brierley, there's always a copy around to look at. Have fun!
