## What is iOverlander Legacy?

This is our legacy app. It is no longer maintained and is expected to be retired in early 2025. Check out our new app, iOverlander 2, also on the App Store, for lots of great new features and improvements. Both apps run on the same database, and can be installed together. 

iOverlander is a database of places for overlanders and travelers. It includes camping, hotels, restaurants, mechanics, water, propane filling and may other categories. Details are listed for each place, including amenities, photos, date last visited and GPS coordinates. Search our listings or browse on a map!

In addition to finding places, you can add new places, record your trip, and share places with friends or other travelers. All of these features will work offline, except you will not be able to view the map.

iOverlander is an app built for Overlanders, by Overlanders. It has been tested in dozens of countries and across tens of thousands of miles. Don't believe us? Here are some recent testimonials:

"We have been on the road for over a year and have been using iOverlander all through Central America. It had been immensely helpful in finding the perfect 'away from civilization' spots, especially when arriving in a new area late in the day when we have little daylight hours to explore. The app has been an invaluable tool, allowing us to experience spots our friends have raved about and share our own favorites as well. We also love that it can locate our GPS location even when we don't have phone service. A must have travel app for sure!"  
~ Sarah and Hani, www.adventuresinskyhorse.com

"An overlander must have for Central and South America, you know all those blogs you have been taking notes from to find the good camp spots? Well they are all here now, in one easy to use app. We have found some spectacular spots through the app and have share the best of the ones we have found. Whether you are looking for paid with services or off the grid this app has you covered... And as it is open source you can add to the adventure."
~ Toby & Chloe, www.facebook.com/CarpeViam.net

"Great App if you are traveling the Panamericana with your camper. It helps you finding the best camping spot with detailed descriptions of the same. Absolutely helpful and a must have for all the overlanders!"
~ Simone & Michael, www.off-we-go.ch

### 1/5 — This was alright

*2025-02-23, version 1.1.62*

They didn’t maintain it or address problems. The new one strips away most features and when you download it there is nothing. The only way is to subscribe in order to pay the developer for a service that has been poorly maintained. There are far better free and paid options. Be advised, issues will go unaddressed as they have been since I started trying to use this in 2021.

### 2/5 — Not bad

*2025-02-06, version 1.1.62*

Hope they keep supporting the legacy version… the new iOverlander 2 tracks a lot more personal info compared to the original and I have zero interest in downloading yet another intrusive app.

I’ve used iOverlander for years and while its a bit of a crutch for most travelers, and suffers a bit from the “garbage in garbage out” problems of all user submitted content — it has proven to be very valuable travel companion. Please keep the original version available.

### 5/5 — Legacy version far superior

*2025-01-09, version 1.1.62*

Stick with this version. The new version is less user friendly and harder to read. Recommend skipping and stick with this one.

### 1/5 — Now worthless

*2024-12-11, version 1.1.62*

This app used to be good but now they’ve made it impossible to work with data that we the community added. Don’t use it.

### 5/5 — Great app, sad it's leaving

*2024-11-29*

This app has served me very well. I love that I could contribute to it on a personal level, pinning different sites and seeing other people's ratings. I've been led to some fantastic views thanks to this, and gone to sites few people even knew existed.

I love the layout of the app. Simple, straightforward, and the filter function is very easy to use. Viewing other people's pins and seeing their reviews was always helpful. I don't remember if I paid for the app or not, but if I did it was worth it, and if I didn't I would have been willing to. The UI could use some refining, but it does have that old school early internet nav feel that is very cute and welcoming. 

I'm so disappointed this app is being retired. Wish the owner would reconsider. Maybe their 2.0 version can help fund this one? Or maybe charge a one-time fee for this app? I don't know, I just really don't want to lose this app. The platform it's built up is like no other. It's like losing the library of Alexandria all over again.

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for your feedback, but I am not sure if you are talking about iOverlander. Our Legacy App never had the possibility to rate places nor to pin different sites. But you are right, we have a new App, iOverlander2 which we launched a few months ago. Maybe you want to give it a try? You can add favorites, choose from 5 different map styles, use offline maps. Sadly, it is not possible to keep our old app running forever. It was built on a platform and with a language that isn't supported anymore.

### 1/5 — Dishonest developer removes reviews

*2024-11-02, version 1.1.62*

Along with breaking the app so Apple Maps that are downloaded no longer work offline, he deletes reviews suggesting alternative apps that are ethical. 👎

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2024-10-31*

Countless hours spent adding locations and writing detailed reviews, only to now face a subscription fee to access the very information I and thousands of others contributed for free. It’s disappointing to see a community-built resource turned into a paid service.

Michaela then offers me one year free.

Update: "I appreciate the offer, but I’m frustrated that my contributions—and those of countless other users—are now behind a paywall. I’ve put in time and effort to build this resource for the community, not for a subscription model. If iOverlander is moving to paid access, I think it’s only fair to honor contributors with permanent access instead of a limited free upgrade.

**Developer response:** Hi, I am really sorry that you are disappointed. We are working on a future Rewards Program to continue honoring our top contributors. As soon as we finished, we will announce it.

### 5/5 — Très bonne version

*2024-10-27, version 1.1.62*

La Nouvelle version  iOverlander  2 , je pense qui va tuer
La version …

### 1/5 — disappointed.

*2024-10-16*

sad to see they’ve released a paid version of this app where EVERY basic feature is now behind a paywall and you’re bombarded by constant ads. especially when users are the ones who were submitting all of the spots for them to now profit off of. i’m glad i kept my better spots to myself, instead of listing them for the developers to then lock them behind a paywall for others. gross and greedy tbh. wdym i have to pay $100+ to be able to download all of the states at once 😒 i’ll keep using the basic version until it breaks, and then i’ll find another app that offers those basic features for free. very disappointed in the developers of this app. do better.

**Developer response:** Hi Atlascrust, already replied on your review for our version 2. We try to keep our Legacy App as long as possible, feel free to use it.

### 5/5 — Good

*2024-09-28, version 1.1.62*

Thank you
