iOverlander Legacy 4+

Text box adjustment / dark mode

Thanks for making a cool app! Just needs a few tweaks to make it great. While this app is without a doubt very useful. Sometimes, spots need very detailed information, especially when I’m the first one discovering it. When I check-in and attempt to type, the box won’t allow typing in dark mode, so it’s just black text in black background. That’s not too big of a deal, as I just change it back and forth between light and dark in the settings. However, you can’t scroll in the text box. So eventually you have no idea what you’re typing out. If that bug is fixed, I’ll adjust the rating.

Edit: The developers have reached out to me regarding a new and improved adjustments to this app, so everyone stay tuned for that. The text box’s ability to scroll when typing has been fixed, which was my primary concern when conducting a check-in. Dark mode isn’t available, but that does not impact the awesome platform these guys have developed, so not a big deal there. I’ll likely edit again when the improvements are released.

Developer Response ,

fabulous app!

of the four apps we use to find places to park our van at night while traveling cross country, iOverlander has become our favorite! we have found a wide range of excellent free sites to camp, as well as showers and water fill stations. obviously the app is made possible by the people that leave reviews and such, so we always appreciate the reviews left by those before us. i do wish the sites that no longer allow camping would turn a different color, like red— i feel like i waste a bunch of time clicking on areas and having to weed through the comments to make sure overnight parking is allowed. but overall, we appreciate the app!

Bottom Line. This app provides useful info

I’ve been using this app for over a year now. The users of this app have submitted many useful locations including dispersed camping locations, campgrounds, water, dump stations, propane, etc...

I’ve never had this app crash and it provides me with great information into the areas I explore.

If you combine this application with other apps and websites, you will have an exceptional method for route/trip planning. I utilize this app for routing purposes to see where I can camp, pick up water, and dump my tanks.

My only gripe is that when I’m adding a location to the app, it never zeros in on my phones gps location precisely. I have an iPhone 11 Pro so I’m not sure what the deal is with that. I often use google maps to find my exact location and then manually add those coordinates into the app when I’m adding a location such as a campsite or free water spigot.

Lastly, people that gripe about the user interface being outdated or what not. I mean yeah, I suppose it is, but at the end of the day I believe people using this app are backcountry campers. Why are you griping about the apps user interface haha. It provides you with essential information, who cares how pretty it is. Take that energy you’re using for nitpicking an app and apply it towards cleaning the trash from the next campsite you’re at and leaving it better than the way you found it.

Good app. Thanks for developing it.
