## What is TrekRight?

TrekRight – Camino Francés is a comprehensive, incredibly handy mobile app for anyone walking or bicycling the historic Camino de Santiago (specifically, the Camino Francés and the extension from Santiago to Finisterre / Fisterra). 

TrekRight includes an in-depth reference 'Trekopedia' (communities, albergues, attractions, services, points of interest, etc.), supports customizable routes, interactive maps (including detailed *offline* maps), directions and section-by-section guide, dynamic trip stats for your current section, stage, and route, an intelligent compass with a built-in yellow arrow that shows the right direction based on your current location and chosen route, and more.

--- The Right Information, When You Need It ---
Location-aware information – TrekRight provides you with information tailored to your current location. If you are approaching Puente la Reina, TrekRight will tell you how far you still have to go, what attractions are available around you, where you can find a water fountain, options for where to stay the night, easy access to interactive elevation profile charts, and clear, detailed directions. You can easily see what things you flagged as interesting, which things you added notes to, and which you marked as favorites. Real-time information that keeps you completely on top of things!

--- Caminopedia ---
TrekRight’s ‘Camino Encyclopedia’ is packed with extensive interactive reference information, organized into Communities, Shelters, Attractions, Services, Points of Interest, and Route Sections. Everything can be searched and filtered, viewed on a map, notes can be added (anything from a simple reservation number to a copy-and-pasted blurb from a website), and more. Handy information (literally) at your fingertips!

--- Interactive Offline Maps ---
Powerful, flexible map that displays your current location on your selected route along with pins showing all the locations included in the Caminopedia (just touch a pin to open its related Caminopedia entry). Easily filter and do searches. Detailed, high-quality offline maps are included, so you have full access to maps even without Internet access. When you do have an Internet connection, online maps are also available which can be configured to show street maps, satellite view, terrain, or a hybrid. Completely transform how you ‘see’ your surroundings on the Camino.

--- Intelligent Compass ---
In addition to all the standard compass functionality, TrekRight’s intelligent compass also points you in the right direction based on your current location and your selected route, and updates dynamically as you move. Two special compass indicators are available – one points towards the end point of your current section (typically the next town on the route), and the other points which way you should go *now*, taking into consideration your current position and all the twists and turns in your route. Never get lost again!

--- Pre-Camino Planning & Preparation ---
TrekRight makes it easy to plan your route (including configuring the sections you want to follow), organize it into stages, and review distances and elevations (including a handy interactive Elevation Profile Chart). Comes pre-defined with popular routes including those touted by Brierley and Eroski. Review and rank albergues, flag locations of interest, add your own notes, and more.

--- Up-To-Date Content ---
TrekRight’s content is regularly updated and expanded based on the latest information available to us. You can check for content updates directly inside TrekRight and download our database whenever it is convenient for you (even on the trail), without having to connect to the App Store. Always be up to date!

--- No Internet Connection Required ---
All of TrekRight's content is stored directly on your phone, including our detailed offline maps. No Internet connection is required!

### 1/5 — Can’t download

*2025-05-06, version 3.70*

So I used this app to walk from Sarria to Santiago, and Porto to Santiago in 2023. It was great. I offloaded it in between times until recently (2025) when I’ve loaded the app again. It just won’t let me reload the maps. I’m so frustrated and unhappy with it as I’m now going to have to pay for a different app to get decent maps. I’ve tried to use the app support link, but I just keep getting ‘page not recognised’.

### 5/5 — Fabulous App!

*2023-06-26, version 3.70*

I used this app for my camino from SJPDP to Santiago… it was my lifeline kept me sane on where the next cafe was the next water fountain etc

The map feature was brilliant for getting me back on the track particularly in cities and when I was nervous I was off track

Thank you loved your app and loved my camino!

### 5/5 — A Brilliant App!

*2022-05-30, version 3.70*

This app was my primary support guide for the entire Camino Frances. I strongly recommend buying it for peace of mind, especially if you are a solo (female) hiker as I was. The signage on this Camino is excellent, but the app was invaluable for location confirmation, distance left to walk and supplementary information.

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2022-04-29, version 3.70*

I used this app for my Camino in 2017 and it was excellent. I didn’t have to use it every day but when I did need it, this app was helpful and got me back on track or confirmed I was going the right way. It was easy to use and I was glad I had it.

### 1/5 — Out of date and overpriced

*2019-09-19*

I bought this with the high hopes that it would be equal to Camino Pilgrim which is available only for Android devices. I was very disappointed.

**Developer response:** Hello. I'm sorry that TrekRight wasn't what you were looking for. Please contact me by email at trekright@trekopedia.com and let me know how we could make the app better meet your needs. We're always trying to improve both the app and our Camino content. Buen Camino!

### 5/5 — Perfect App for the Comino

*2019-04-29, version 3.29*

I customized this app as it pertained to my 200 km walk...no complaints whatsoever. ✅✅

### 5/5 — Camino

*2019-04-08, version 3.29*

It’s absolutely a must app to have on the Camino, a bit of experimental actions needed to familiarize your self, but once accomplished, great to use especially if you want to know exactly where you are

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2019-02-10, version 2.97*

Used this last September to walk first 200miles of camino France's. Found it very useful.

### 1/5 — Poorly designed

*2018-10-18*

You can’t change the route sections. If you can there are no clear directions. While walking it does not provide much in way of guidance. Most expensive app on El Camino provides zero utility.

**Developer response:** Hi there. I'm sorry you didn't find TrekRight suitable for your needs. If you contact me by email I can assist you in using it. You are definitely able to change the route sections (they are highly customizable, actually). The built-in yellow arrow points the way to walk based on your current location and your chosen route. There are walking directions and notes about attractions. Progress stats are available showing distance completed and remaining for your current section, stage, and route. The offline maps have hill shading and contour lines to show you the terrain you are going through. And more. We're very responsive to all feedback and are always happy to help if you have any questions.

### 5/5 — Great App for the Camino!

*2018-08-29*

Kept me from getting lost on more than one occasion. Also helped me locate lodging. Excellent maps!

**Developer response:** Hi there! Thanks for taking the time to post a review - much appreciated! I'm glad you found our app useful on your walk of the Camino! Drop me an email at feedback@trekopedia.com if you have any suggestions on how we can improve the app or our Camino content. And send me a photo or two! 🤠
