### 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 — Best Camino App Ever!

*2026-06-22, version 2.2.412*

I am on my second Camino. I have used multiple apps. Now I solely rely on Ninja because it is helpful, accurate, and user-friendly.

### 5/5 — Super Camino App 🥾❤️

*2026-06-22*

Seeeehr hilfreiche App! Bringt einen notfalls immer zurück auf den Camino und bietet sehr viele zusätzliche Informationen!

### 5/5 — Camino

*2026-06-21*

I really liked the way the Camino Ninja is set up. It is user friendly and has lots of valuable information about the routes and available resources. It was the only app I used on my 36 day French Camino.

### 5/5 — No.1 Pure Genius

*2026-06-20, version 2.2.412*

This is the most useful app available to plan and walk the Camino.

### 5/5 — Monwalker

*2026-06-14, version 2.2.412*

This is an excellent app. I have had for a long time and I am glad it is being managed again. And so many new routes added

### 5/5 — Top

*2026-06-08*

Die App hat uns super durch unseren 1. Camino (Camino Ingles) begleitet. Toll waren die zusammengestellten Unterkünfte an den ausgewählten Zielorten! Sehr einfach und unkompliziert in der Bedienung und toll um den Weg im Nachgang noch mal Revue passieren zu lassen! Absolute Empfehlung!

### 4/5 — Brilliant app

*2026-06-07, version 2.2.412*

The app is very useful and helps you plan your section easily. The rate 4 because l would have like the following: Once you save a section, you have to amend the next section location before you can amend the previous one. It would have been good when you click on the locations, you can still see all locations. It would also good to see the elevation and descent alongside the distance on the overview planner.

### 5/5 — Me myself and I

*2026-06-06, version 2.2.412*

Adorei passar por este caminho . Caminhei sozinha , nenhum Pelegrino a não ser eu e foi magnífico.

### 5/5 — Fantastic!

*2026-06-02, version 2.2.412*

Absolutely fantastic for navigation for the Portuguese Litoral Route - other Camino apps cannot compete!

### 5/5 — Ganz tolle App

*2026-06-01*

Gelungene App, unverzichtbar auf dem Camino 👍👍

### 3/5 — Record Route & Comment

*2026-05-31, version 2.2.412*

It would be great to have some features like FarOut has. Your daily route can be recorded and saved. Hikers can make comments at any marker on trail; good or bad places to visit or avoid, eat, stay, etc.

### 3/5 — Bei jedem öffnen der App Update?

*2026-05-29*

Bei jedem öffnen ist ein Update erforderlich. Egal wie oft am Tag die App geöffnet wird.

### 5/5 — Perfect Camino companion

*2026-05-27, version 2.2.410*

Just back from doing the Camino Portugués Senda Litoral. Camino Ninja was great for planning the Camino beforehand and then incredibly useful on the route for navigating where way marking is poor.

### 3/5 — Doesn’t work on variants

*2026-05-25, version 2.2.410*

The app works well unless a variant is offered and you want to take it. We are on the Via Francegena now and variants aren’t an option for us, so useless unless on main route

### 2/5 — Confusing

*2026-05-16, version 2.2.403*

I can’t seem to figure out how to add the next place to stay, and move on. I was hoping that the application would be intuitive since there are no directions.

### 4/5 — First time walker

*2026-05-16*

The app was very helpful for planning our pilgrimage. We were easily able to determine the town we wanted to walk to and where to stay. Overall I recommend the app. Some areas of improvement, the mileage seemed to start from the center of town you started in to the center of town you ended in, I would have also liked the distance from albergue to albergue. It would have been more useful data during planning. Moving through the app could be clunky, if I wanted to see the elevation I had to back out of the map to open it. Rather than showing the current day on top you had to scroll down to it each time you opened the app. The pricing for a nights stay at the different albergues was outdated.

### 1/5 — Difficult to navigate

*2026-06-16, version 2.2.412*

This App is not intuitive. It takes much playing with it to learn how to navigate.

### 1/5 — Frustrated

*2026-04-24, version 2.2.395*

This app makes me pull my hair out. I created a plan to walk the French Camino from St Jean Pied de Port and when I update details in a later stage it continually moves the updated later date to the beginning of the plan messing up the entire plan; this continues to happen even though the app is updated. To top it off I just deleted a stage that was in the wrong place and the whole plan has disappeared.

### 1/5 — Experienced travel app user not impressed

*2026-03-29, version 2.2.381*

This app is not intuitive. I am investigating walking the Via Francigena and it is impossible to view the entire route and select stages and investigate places. Awful!!!

### 1/5 — Lost

*2026-03-28, version 2.2.381*

Lost

### 1/5 — Norte disappeared

*2025-01-26, version 2.1.20*

I was enjoying using this app and appears since the last update, it no longer include the Norte route.

### 1/5 — Update is poor

*2025-01-21, version 2.1.16*

Not nearly enough routes now. The one I needed is now gone.

### 1/5 — Not good

*2024-10-05, version 1.0.90*

Crashes all the time and map for Portuguese camino is wrong.

### 1/5 — Missing Camino Norte

*2021-05-16, version 1.0.33*

Bizarre & incredibly unfortunate as they don’t have el Camino Norte!

### 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.

### 2/5 — Okay

*2026-06-12, version 2.2.412*

It adds work rather than making anything easier.

### 5/5 — Great app and planning site

*2026-08-24*

Thank you for creating and maintaining such a helpful and easy to use planning tool. The site as well as the app are user friendly and easy to use planning tool

### 5/5 — Camino

*2026-08-23*

Die App ist hervorragend, um seine Etappen zu planen, man sieht die km und die Höhenmeter

### 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.

### 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

### 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!!
