Bibbulmun Track Guide User Reviews

Essential!

Don’t walk the Bibbulmun without it. Provides all the information you need about track sections, huts, towns, and most importantly, navigation. The ability to instantly see where you are in relation to the track provides reassurance you are indeed on the track when you haven’t seen a marker for a while, or ensures you can navigate back to the track, and shows how far you have to go to the next hut or significant landmark. I have also used the Munda Biddi and Mawson Trail apps from the same company. They are, in essence, all you need to navigate these three wonderful trails.

Superb trail guide!

I used this app to plan a hike last week. It’s so easy to use and has tons of useful and helpful information. It makes planning the logistics of the trip so easy. Also love the fact that we can turn on the gps and instantly see if we are on the track. This is a huge relief in sections without many markers. I can’t imagine hiking the Bibbulmun Track without this powerful resource in my pocket.

Easy to use in planning & during hike

Purchased before doing a 07 day sectional hike. Great info for planning. Great GPS map while phone is on Airplane mode. More reliable than other apps as some have incorrect Bibb trail directions. Highly recommend this app!

Loved this

So helpful! Have now read the instructions so it will be even more helpful! Loved that it could tell me where I was even without being online.

Brilliant App!

Bought this on the strength of the Developer’s ‘sister’ app for the Munda Biddi bike trail. The Munda app is incredibly user friendly, works beautifully on and off the trail, with or with out mobile coverage. Used it to prepare for the ride and it kept us from getting lost on the trail!

I have no doubt the Bib app will be equally as a good.

Disappointed

Very limited info on this app, buy the maps instead. I found it rather useless except for updating ourselves on how far to our next campsite. There is scope for so much more.

Response from developer

Well, thanks for the review. It would be nice to know what else you expected from this app. It has the following features: - Very detailed offline maps. They ALWAYS work, even when mobile phone coverage and Internet are not available. - The map shows contour lines. - The map is tuned to look great on a small phone screen. It shows details that a hiker in the bush needs, such as minor tracks and trails at zoom levels where most other maps hide them. Zoom out and tracks don’t disappear from your map! This makes following Bibbulmun Track redirections easy, and getting back to the track if you lose it becomes trivial. Great for your safety, and easier for you to navigate, even with a tiny screen. - Uses GPS to show your location on the map. - The map has extra markers for campsites, towns, places where you can get food, attractions, swimming spots, and other points of interest. - Tap place markers on the map and see your distance from them along the track. See how far away that campsite is! - An elevation graph that you can zoom-and-swipe to see all the hills and valleys along the track. - The elevation graph shows your location and markers for towns, campsites, and other places. Do you have to walk up any big hills to get to that campsite? - Tap campsite, town, sightseeing, and other markers on the map to get detailed information and photographs for those places. - Includes a map showing places where you can get drinking water, where you can swim, and a map showing toilets along the track. - Has descriptions and pictures of each section of the Track. - Provides detailed information on paid accommodation options outside towns for those who want a bit more luxury than camping! - Has a track overview, and information about shelters, drinking water, safety, weather, animals, and the history of the Bibbulmun Track. - No mobile phone coverage or internet is needed for the app to work. Put your phone in Airplane Mode to save battery power and continue to use the app (your phone’s GPS will still work in Airplane Mode). - The app turns off GPS when the screen is turned off, so it will not use phone power when you are not using it. - The guide has loads of beautiful photographs of the Track to inspire you! You should never get lost because the maps always work and show you where you are, even when you stray from the Track. The great detail on the maps makes it easy to follow bush tracks and paths to get back to the Track. Can you give us some more information on what you'd like the app to contain? We're always open to suggestions on how to improve it for hikers.

Essential for End to Enders

Amazing app for all Bibbulmun Track walkers and absolutely essential for end-to-end trips. With great offline maps (very efficient power usage), great descriptions of each section, listings for landmarks and points of interest along the way, and an overview of food and lodging options at all resupply points, this app will help you plan every step of your journey. The distance and elevation table alone is worth the investment! Highly recommended.
