¡Buen Camino and thank you for your support!
There are many features of this ap that I am grateful for, but the one feature that I do not like is the portrait-only display mode. Especially for a walk that runs east to west, it would be so helpful to have the ability to view the map in landscape mode. Also, it would be helpful to have a way to contact the developer directly to make this suggestion.
Was working well until last update.

I can only assume am update happened that removed one of the most useful features. There used to be countdown of distances to Santiago on the towns on the map. Then you could easily scan ahead to determine which towns are in your walking distance with accommodation. Now you have to flip to the list to see distances but this still does not show the countdown distance. The sample images of the app still show this feature but if it’s now gone. Please return this valuable feature. I have also found several routes not displayed, even routes that have camino signs and arrows.
Lot of Potential, Unrealized
TrainHalf
It's only $2 but not worth it. Map does not work offline. Need internet connection. Map is practically unusable with the annoying icons covering everything. Can't customize what you want to see. Map moves to some central location every time you access and then have to hunt around for your current location. Should have the ability to go straight to current location. Should have incorporated elevation and map into a single screen. I've switched back to using downloaded tracks on Pocket Earth for navigation and Consumer Eroski for elevations, lodging and commentary.
Route tracking
Eliotjoss
The app does well showing the path and tracking progress, however the Camino symbol nearly always disappears or loses direction of actual travel. A reboot reorients the symbol, but only temporarily.
Now with SES Peregrino integration for accommodation guest registration.
This is the biggest update in the history of the app, a complete rebuild from the ground up.
New Dashboard
The app now opens to a new dashboard layout designed to get you to the information you need, faster.
Yellow X Returns
Long-time users might remember Yellow X, a geolocation toolkit I built about a decade ago. I've brought back its best features and rolled them into All Caminos. Now you can see exactly how far you are from the next town or the nearest albergue.
Dynamic Elevation Profile
Completely reimagined—tap anywhere to see distances to points along your route. See where you are on the profile in real time.
Improved Maps
More interactive, more informative, more helpful when you're standing at a fork in the path.
More Routes
The alternate Norte-Primitivo crossing is included.
Smarter Updates
Over-the-air updates now only download what's changed. No more full app downloads just because I fixed a typo.
Offline Map Tiles
Much improved, and available for all routes.
Every screen, every feature, every detail has been rethought and reworked.
¡Buen Camino!
