Guidebooks are cool but have you ever used GunksApp?🤯
What page was that route on? What was it called? Swamy, Swanson, Simon ….SAMSONITE! I was way off.
The app is a better reason to carry a phone to the crag than that’s obligatory topout selfie or ubiquitous belay stance picture of the leaders behind.
Detailed topos overlaying real world photographs of the cliffs. Certain locations allow realtime navigation to the route. Logging, ticking, rating. It’s all there, and then some. There really isn’t a reason NOT to have the app for your chosen location.

The best digital guidebooks!
The only thing better than their thorough digital guidebooks is their amazing customer service and their commitment to climbing! They use local authors, donate proceeds to climbing organizations, and will never be an ad-based or subscription model. Most of the digital world is pretty terrible but GunksApps is always good. Viva la GunksApps!

My favorite
Ad free, concise, thoughtful creators. Love the gunks community and this app that was developed to host other guides for areas as well. Creators always looking for feedback/ways to improve.
Great app. By climbers. For climbers.
App covers everything. Good topo, good pics, good route descriptions. quick, effective tech support. Can’t say enough about this awesome app!
Great app
Use the app ALL THE TIME! What more needs saying.
Best climbing app on east coast
First off, I needed technical support and got my problem of transferring my routes to a new email figured out in an hour. Second tho, this app allows me to explore my area and I have gotten my moneys worth many times over with how many times it’s gotten me to go outside climbing with me and my friends. Thanks for all y’all do

The best climbing guide book platform
I wish every climbing area was on gunks app. Easy to use. Simply designed. My favorite climbing app from my favorite climbing area. Get it!!
The best I’ve found
This app is an excellent source for finding climbs, areas, grades, etc. Since it’s on your phone, it’s super handy.
Digital is the Future
The future of guidebooks is this right here. The convience of having a guidebook for a vast amount of areas in the palm of my hand has brought much ease when on multipitch routes or when trying to navigate a new boulder field. The platform offers a wide variety of guide to local areas while also providing affordable guides to destinations in surrounding areas. I enjoy the frequent updates as well! Can't wait to see what areas are next to be added!!

Excellent app from the folks who wrote the guide book
This app is a game changer for Gunks accessibility. It has all the beta you need to navigate the area and pick climbs for your level of skill. The app is updated regularly with new areas being added all the time it seems.
I rely heavily on this app for so many things. Be it my regular Gunks trips, my Powerlinez bouldering sessions, or ventures farther afield (looking at you, Hawaii boulders). This app sets a high standard for what a guidebook app should be.

Great App
Great functioning app with high quality guidebooks of all Northeast climbing and beyond.
Poor app navigation
The app it’s self is horrible to navigate through. The route descriptions are great if you can figure how to redownload them otherwise you spend your money and hope you don’t have to redownload the app.
Awesome platform that could do with some extra features
Amazing platform for buying/posting guidebooks on the cheap. Really cool that each purchase supports the coalitions that develop the crags.
I love the app and wanted to suggest a feature!
Having a feature to see/rate quality/grade of each climb would be super cool and would help normalize grades across regions/crags (in the style of board apps like Tension and Moon). This would also help for comparing climbs within the same crag (for areas that suffer from inconsistent grading due to the development history).

Best Guide app by far!
This is the best guide book app by far! Without a doubt essential and is my go to for any trip out!
Real people that really care
I am the first to admit that I hate most tech and often have a difficult time navigating my way through any app in a real time setting. Needless to say I found myself having trouble with the gunks app after switching to a new phone. Luckily for me the gunks app has a very helpful support team. The got back to me immediately to help me resolve my issues and then followed up a few days later to make sure I was still good. With people like that maybe they can teach this old dog some new tricks. Thanks

Reliable, efficient, not bigoted
Gunksapp is my go-to app for any crag I explore. Its GPS navigation and topo lines are incredibly accurate and it’s easy to search name or by grade. I tend to purchase new areas early on bc they continually update the areas and it helps save money if you’d prefer. Gunksapps also slightly changes climb names that may be triggering for people of different backgrounds. I appreciate this added care. I genuinely recommend this to anyone who may be climbing in an area they’ve covered. Cannot recommend enough.

Essential climbing resource
This app is nigh on perfect. It does exactly what you want it to do: I can search for specific routes, or for routes of a specific grade and rating. The pictures and typos are incredibly high quality. I routinely browse an area when I’m planning a trip, and also use it on the ground to locate routes. I’ve even used it halfway up a route when I wasn’t sure if I was still on route. If I could only have one climbing guide, this is it!

Best Gunks and Many Other Crags Guidebook!
Simply one of the best implemented guidebooks.
Extensive updates for crags, GPS for climbs, GPS for crags incase you get lost, great photos for the climbs, simply hard to beat the implementation of the guidebooks.

An absolute must for Gunks (and not only) climbers
It is absolutely the best and most comprehensive climbing guide app for the Gunks and many other areas. It makes identifying and navigating the crag so much easier than any other available guide. Worth every penny
