Really well made and useful
I walked the Trail in September 2024. I used this app a lot to check tide times and water points. I use an iPhone on Optus. Even without signal, the app worked really well to track my progress on the map. One nice feature is the audible alert when you are approaching an area where mobile signal is likely, in case you want to send home a proof of life :). Other good safety features are identifying croc spots and extraction points where you could meet a boat in an emergency, and also that you can easily send a text with your coordinates via the app. I was lucky enough to meet the app developer during my trip. I believe he walks the trail regularly, so the app is based on first hand knowledge and is kept up to date.

Invaluable app
As an experienced hiker I found this app truly invaluable. The app tracked our walk, told us where all the water sources are and informed us of what the days trail would be like. A must have if you plan on hiking Hinchinbrook Island!
A great app - must have for the Trail!
This app is super helpful and really easy to use. So good having a GPS pinpoint on your location during the walk, great to know where you are and where you are going. Heaps of helpful information (all accessible with no reception), in particular knowing exactly where all the fresh water is. Cheers John!!

A valuable resource
This app was so good to have as a source of information about the trail, water collection points etc. As a solo traveller the app became my second set of eyes in the tricky places where some markers were hard to find. Just a quick look at the app and it’s trail notes and, bingo, back on track.
Great!
Absolute must have for the trail. Everything you need is offline so don’t need mobile service. Offline maps and tidal charts. Tracks your progress along the way and sends alerts as you approach mobile coverage and creek crossings. Feels very reassuring having marked Waterpoints and watching your progress along the trail. Well worth it
