### 5/5 — Easy to maneuver

*2026-08-12*

The app gives a planning option. It should be done before the trip. Safe lots of headaches.
Daily traveling altitude changes and distances in KM.. try to be knowledgeable of km and altitude changes in traveling.. it makes it essier knowing expected traveling. Lodging availability with locations in map near or far from El Camino. The first day from french camino, bad signal Pirineos problem. Plan ahead. Buen Camino my
Friends!

### 5/5 — Camino portugais

*2026-07-19, version 2.2.424*

Cette application m’a été extrêmement utile tout au long de mon chemin. Je la recommande fortement!

### 5/5 — Best app I found for planning a Camino.

*2026-07-14*

Literally everything I need. Stages, elevation gains. Hotel suggestions everything about facilities. Pretty amazing and I’m able to make an entire Camino plan and see it all together in one place by saving it with a name.

### 3/5 — Früher gerne

*2026-07-07*

Habe die App früher gerne benutzt. Heute nicht mehr. Zu viel Schnickschnack, bunte Bildchen, Anmeldung erforderlich. Nicht im Sinne des Erfinders. Dies ist der zweite Versuch eine Rezension zu verfassen, die erste hat wohl nicht gefallen.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-07-07, version 2.2.421*

Fantastic app!  I love the little arrows pointing the direction on the camino and all of the useful information along the way.  It was a lifesaver.

### 5/5 — Indispensable and getting even better

*2026-07-04*

When I walked my last Camino in spring 2026 Camino Ninja was an indispensable aid. This app helped me plan my stages and its support for multiple plans enabled me to try different staging options. I really liked the ability to choose and display where I would stay in each town. The app’s data is frequently updated which gave me confidence I was seeing current not outdated information. And the development team is constantly adding more routes and many more helpful features. I would not walk a Camino without Camino Ninja. Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Simply Excellent

*2026-07-02, version 2.2.421*

So easy to use

### 2/5 — You are gonna need to fix this

*2026-06-27*

This needs to be fixed and updated. A lot of the accommodations were very wrong in each town. We planned to get lunch in a town with a lot of stuff in the app( cafes and restaurants), and there was three buildings with nothing. Between Samos, Spain and Sarria, Spain, there is absolutely no accommodations. No water, no food, no bathrooms. The app told us that there would be many accommodations. I was so hungry and it was terrible. Please reevaluate what accommodations are in each town, otherwise this app is very useful.

### 5/5 — Best I Found

*2026-06-24, version 2.2.412*

This app worked great on Camino Portuguese. Good for monitoring progress and finding accommodations

### 5/5 — Helpful on the Frances

*2026-06-24*

Each day on the Camino Frances, we consult Ninja to figure out how to rejoin the trail from where we slept the night before.  It’s also full of helpful information regarding each stage (elevation, distance, albergues, fountains, etc) that makes it very useful for planning.  Excellent app!!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.3.010 — 2026-08-19

Magic Planner — a new way to plan

Tell us where you start and where you're headed, and Magic Planner walks the map with you. At every fork in the road it shows you the caminos ahead, how far the next decision is, and which way most pilgrims go — so you choose your route one junction at a time instead of guessing from a list. When you're happy, it becomes a plan you can save.

Plans without stages

Not ready to break your camino into days? Save the whole trail as a plan now and add stages whenever you like. Your distance and elevation are still there, and you can share it just like any other plan.

A redrawn map

We've rebuilt how the map draws your route. Route lines and place labels stay crisp at every zoom level, selected routes stand out clearly, and albergue markers now sit above the route line instead of hiding behind it.

Route tab fixes

Routes that join another camino part-way — like the Aqueduct Trail or the Ave Trail — now run all the way through to Santiago again, instead of stopping short.

A refreshed Plan tab

Your saved plans have a cleaner look that matches our pre-made plans, and each one now shows how far you've walked.

Also in this release
• Sharing a plan that hasn't synced yet no longer dead-ends
• Fixed a freeze when opening the elevation chart full screen
• Fixed crashes some of you hit on iOS when opening plan screens
• Save buttons no longer overlap the stage content
• Many smaller fixes across planning, maps and translations

Buen Camino!
