Can’t download
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’.

Fabulous App!
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!

A Brilliant App!
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.

Excellent app
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.
Out of date and overpriced
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.

Perfect App for the Comino
I customized this app as it pertained to my 200 km walk...no complaints whatsoever. ✅✅
Camino
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
Excellent
Used this last September to walk first 200miles of camino France's. Found it very useful.
Poorly designed
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.

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.
Great App for the Camino!
Kept me from getting lost on more than one occasion. Also helped me locate lodging. Excellent maps!

Amazing Offline Maps!
I just finished walking the Camino de Frances on June 30, 2018 and was highly impressed with this app! The maps were so helpful when WiFi was not available as they work offline! Additionally, I found some great albergues and hostels to stay at! I recommended this app along the Camino to several pilgrims!

Thanks for the very nice review! I'm glad you found the app helpful during your Camino. Please contact us and let us know about anything you think we should change, add, or improve in the app -- we're always trying to make it better. And if you have suggestions on other long-distance routes you think we should cover, we'd love to hear about them. Safe travels!
Superb
This app is outstanding. I have walked the Camino Frances a dozen times and downloaded it out of curiosity rather than need on the tenth occasion. The offline map with geolocation has made it indispensable and the easy to read distance from/to meter is very handy. The information on terrain, accommodation etc is good and serves both first time walkers and forgetful ones very well.

Great app for determining your location and route on the Camino
I've just finished (June 2017) using the app while walking from Leon to Santiago. Because the app is resident on your phone, you don't need an internet connection. Thus no "data" consumption, which is nice for thrifty North American pilgrims. It does a very good job of tracking your progress along the route, and advising of upcoming topography change and directions.
Because the number of pilgrims is growing quickly and the communities along the route are responding to their needs, it is impossible for any app to keep up with the latest accommodations, restaurants, and bars. A major improvement in these aspects would be nice, but probably short lived. For this reason, no app could be rated 5 stars, imho.
And yes, I strongly recommend it to any iPhone using pilgrim.

Hi - thanks for the feedback! We're glad you found TrekRight helpful on your Camino. Next time we hope to earn that 5th star from you! :-) Safe travels home.
Better than any guidebook
This is the first app review I've ever written - Trekright's Camino Frances guide is so incredible that I needed to let other people know! This guide is an absolute must have, with specifics on albergues, routes and distances, city facts and histories, and most importantly, GPS-linked maps! You can see exactly how far you need to go to your next destination, or make sure you're on track in the early morning before the sun comes up. Cannot recommend this app more - I tossed my travel book after two days in favor of it

Useful
The best thing is the compass which always point along your path so you know if you've missed a turn off (easily done!). Great tool. I used it a lot.
Makes it easy
I downloaded this app on day 3 of our 42 trip after getting misplace (lost) walking into Pamplona from this point on that never happened again. It was especially good when walking into the bigger city's, but was also useful just to check which was the right way to go when the yellow arrows were a bit confusing as some times you won't have anyone in front of you. The other helpful function was which towns had ATM's ( cash machines) as some times it was days before you come across them. Get the app and you won't be 2nd guessing which way to go.

Cuts
On the Camino right now and using this app every day. I love that lets me know where I am, how far I have to go and that it doesn't require Internet or a data plan when I'm in the middle of nowhere. Easy to use.
Off-line map is invaluable!
Our little family of 3 travelled the Camino in May and found this app a God send. When you are wrangling little ones or stomping out many meditative trail kilometres the off-line maps are invaluable when navigating in towns or the picturesque countryside. The accomodation information was fantastic too. I had two different Camino apps, this was the one we used multiple times every day on our way.

Peace of mind
This app has it ALL and will give you peace of mind for your Camino. Eugene (the developer) is very responsive and experienced with the routes. He keeps the app up to date through his own and others' experiences. He recently added a stand-alone Sarria to Santiago route which is just what I needed. The app is easy to use and does not depend on WIFI, which is pretty important! I mostly used it the night before my walks to see what was coming up. The maps and various listings are there for you whenever/wherever you are, but good pilgrim that he is, he suggests leaving your phone in your pocket and enjoying The Way. I highly recommend this app.

Perfect companion for the Camino
I used TrekRight to hike 300+ miles of the Camino Frances this April/May, and it was a great companion! The GPS feature allows you to see exactly where you are on a stage even when your cellular data is turned off. This feature was particularly helpful when a section of the Camino was flooded out, and I had to find a detour. It also found use when a “helpful” albergue owner decided to re-route the Camino by blacking out the official Camino arrows and adding his own. (Despite these comments, let me stress that the Camino is VERY well marked, and a GPS app is not strictly necessary.) The app was also much easier to access than my guide book, which I kept in my pack.
If you are planning to stay only in albergues, this app could potentially replace a guide book; however, I found it helpful to have both.
