Doesn’t work on iPhone X
Just downloaded the app and it crashes on opening.
Three Bits of Advise
When talking to people planning their Camino I give them three bits of practical advise:
1. You don’t need boot—use trail running shoes.
2. Learn some Spanish.
3 Get the Wise Pilgrim app.

Disappointing, irregular functionality
This app’s functionality is highly disappointing. I’m on the Camino now, and more often than not (about 90% of the time), it does not open correctly. That is, the screen open the immediately closes. However, when I view all of the currently open apps, it shows the app as being open. About 25% of the time, I can open the app from there. But the other times I need to close the app fans start over/try again later.
When it works, the information is useful.

Just okay.
Crashes upon open frequently, but just click it 3 or 4 times and it works, so maybe 2 stars would be more appropriate. Not optimized for iPhone X screen size. Used it for partial Camino from SJPDP to Fromista in 2017. Like the elevation profile. Albuergue guide a bit basic but complete, a narrative review might be nice or more user comments would be nice. Comments are recent only. Decent narrative for route but a bit difficult to access, you tap The Provinces, the you find your area. Took a bit to discover that. No offline map, so I downloaded competitor app thar has gps and oggline map. No customizable schedule/route.

No new update?
Well it’s a good thing I follow groups related to camino so I can get more current updated information. Relying on an app that isn’t updated to plan and navigate isn’t all that wise, IMO.
Was a great app, but quit working
This app was incredibly valuable when I walked the Camino Frances in 2025, but it has quit working on my iPhone X. Each time I open it the app immediately quits.
Fantastic
Fantastic app! Much lighter than carrying a book. The elevation guide is priceless when you’re figuring out whether to walk a few extra kms or not. Would sometimes crash or bug out but was nothing a restart wouldn’t fit. Thank you!!!
Helpful and well designed app (and guide)
I am returning to the Camino for second time and I found this guide to be very helpful and well designed on my first trip.
My favorite features are the maps, elevation charts, and albergue listings - easy to use and have just the right amount of detail.
Well done Wise Pilgrim.

So detailed and helpful
I completed my second Camino Frances this past summer, and this app was a game changer. Not only did it give me comfort along to way, but I learned so much more about each town. I really appreciated all it added to our walk. Will definitely be using the Norte version when I go back:)
