¡Buen Camino and thank you for your support!
Downloaded Apr 27, 2018. When I tried to open it on my iPhone X it immediately closes. I read another review saying to open it 3-4 times in a row. After that it opened and now it works. This needs to be fixed. Also no way to contact the developer except through this review. That’s why it gets 4 stars. Now that it is working, it has lots of good information I will be using on my Camino in May.
Promising but broken.

A few points to start. I used it. It worked to get me through the Camino. I’m comparing it to the unfortunately defunct Camino Ninja app.The most annoying bug is that it won’t zoom to your current position without crashing. At least on my phone. If this had behaved better, I wouldn’t have been quite as annoyed with the app, especially after paying for it. I was constantly having to select my route and scroll for a ridiculous amount of time to find my position.There’s some inconsistency in links within the app. Sometimes clicking the elevation profile brings up the profile for the wrong route. Selecting a town on the map doesn’t seem to display a list of accommodations there, while selecting it from the list-view of the route does.There really should be a better way to visualize stages. Being able to select a desired end point using current position (or closest official point to current position) and visualize elevation, distance, and services only along that stretch would be better.Again, it worked. I guess I got my money’s worth. Still a bit disappointing though.
Great for Portuguese Coastal and Litoral
Relearning Greek
Absolutely loved this app for navigation on the Portuguese coastal/Litoral Camino. Was spot on for navigating 99%. Not that this would be a difficult route to navigate by simply following the arrows and signs most of the way, but there were several times, especially in larger towns and cities that the app was very useful for not getting lost. Loved that it combined the coastal and Litoral routes. Also very good for the Spiritual Variant, which I highly recommend. Only used this for Navigation, and there are other resources for other info.
Very Useful!
The Pika 3
The app paid for itself as soon as I opened it. The Lisbon guide mentioned the Festival of St. Anthony on June 13th. I was going to start walking on the 12th. Obviously, I changed those plans.I like the map, the links to accommodations, and the recommendations from other users. The app was just updated a few days ago. I’ve used three other Wise Pilgrim routes and they’ve been great.
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
I have added to the Portugués app the Coastal and Central routes from Porto.
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 three routes.
Every screen, every feature, every detail has been rethought and reworked.
¡Buen Camino!
