This was alright
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.

Not bad
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.

Legacy version far superior
Stick with this version. The new version is less user friendly and harder to read. Recommend skipping and stick with this one.
Now worthless
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.
Great app, sad it's leaving
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.

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

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.
Très bonne version
La Nouvelle version iOverlander 2 , je pense qui va tuer
La version …
La version …
disappointed.
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.

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.
Good
Thank you
Love this app
Love this app and use it all the time
Why a new payable version ??
A new payable version, why? Will it be more friendly user: as being able to enter a city name instead of having to scrolling the entire map?
Also will the apps being updated? Closely corrected by developers when the information is wrong? Or it’s stay in the user hands?

Stick to this version
This version appears to still work, while from what I can tell “iOverlander 2” is nearly unusable adware without a costly subscription. I’ll stick to this one until it breaks, then use another app (or my eyes and brain) to find camping and stores. Sad.
BUENISIMA✅
Llegué a ella por TikTok, se me hizo interesante el saber los puestos en donde poder pasar la noche en california ya que me estaré quedando en el auto y esta aplicación me salvó de dormir a 1 hora del jetset, gracias aplicación te usaré por todo Estados Unidos y el mundo 🥰
Add ability to select a location
For those of us who shun location services on our devices there needs to be another way to select an area to research. Also, in every case where I use an app like this it is never where I am that I’m interested in but somewhere else that I want to travel to. So my current location is completely irrelevant. I want to know about my new location in advance. I don’t want to wait until I get there to browse the possible locations I might be able to stay.
Since the app starts out demanding my location and sends me over to settings to turn on location services, which I am never going to do, the app becomes useless.

Amazing
Amazing app to find campsites. Currently on road trip and has been working well for me every day
Free version unusable
I get that they wanna pressure people to use paid. I get that they’re maybe gonna show me some ads if I don’t pay, although personally I prefer the model where basic features are free and the rest are locked behind the paywall. But this free version is one of those ones that interrupts your browsing to show you a full screen ad every ten seconds, effectively making it impossible to use the app at all unless you pay them to take the ads away. There are like a million competitor apps that I can actually use for free, deleted this one so fast.

Thank you for your feedback. The decision to offer a paid subscription was out of necessity to sustain iOverlander. We wish we could remain completely free forever, but after 10 years of attempting to run iOverlander that way, we know it is not possible. Our original app is still free and without ads, we will keep it available as long as possible.
Hands down THE BEST APP for those living a nomadic lifestyle
Been using this app for several years and it has yet to let me down. As I travel throughout the western United States living out of my Jeep, iOverlander is the primary aid I use to find dispersed campsites, laundry facilities, water points, and propane suppliers.
Kudos out to the team at iOverlander and to all those who contribute information to the app for keeping things updated and relevant; sure makes this an awesome tool for those of us living on the road. ✌🏻

Difference between ioverland and ioverland2
What are exactly the differences between both apps?
Has there been an upgrade to clearly indicate when a place is no longer available?
Thx

Search feature is lacking
You cannot truly search an area you want because you cant type in coordinates or even the name of the area you want to camp. Also, Walmart parking lots and truck stops ARE NOT wild camping.
