MI'm considering downloading an app rather than taking a guide (to help with weight) on my forthcoming Camino trip (October 2017).
There are numerous ones on the iOS app store and I was just curious to see if any of you have used or recommend one, if so, which one and why?
Thank you.
Beun Camino!

We also used the Wise Pilgrim App. It was not perfect...but helpful. Additionally we had a few sheets of paper with printed info, reservations, etc., that we simply recycled as no longer needed. Much lighter than a whole book. We also found plenty of guide books at Albergues along the way if we needed a quick lok through for the next day or so too.

Wise Pilgrim -- I have three guides at hand [all hard copies], my vote is for Wise Pilgrim, hands down [let me copy SY], sorry, Saint Brierley. Que la luz de Dios alumbre su camino.
Hi @Dawn of a new DayM
Hi, I've just finished walking camino Madrid. The only thing I used was gronze.com. I downloaded each map into iBooks . There is also a website rutasasantiago.com. I had considered the wise pilgrim app.
Hi Michael,Wow! What a thread to wake up to.
I wanted to jump in and say (though with little details) that I am currently in the middle of a massive rewrite of the apps. The technology originally used to create them has run its course.
On top of a new design and more stability (looking at you Android maps) there will be a few new much-wanted features rolled into them as well to make booking and navigating a bit easier.
Thanks everyone for the support, the apps are in year 7 now and I continue to be amazed by the pilgrim community.
Michael
My mission is to wrap it up by Christmas, so basically by the end of this year. That gives me a few months of low traffic months to go out and test it before the busy season begins.Hi Michael,
Do you have a target completion date. I am hoping to start my Camino Frances in Sept 2019.
Thank you for your excellence!
Absolutely! In fact I started with that part first and it works like a dream (in the currently available 'Wisely' apps). It will become part of the regular app... finally.@wisepilgrim Michael - any chance of off-line maps being included?
