### 5/5 — One of the only apps I’d happily pay for.

*2026-06-21, version 5.3.4*

This app has been superb since we found it. The detail and functionality for a free App are unheard off. It has guided us around 21 wainrights in the last 6 weeks. Fantastic

### 5/5 — Good tracker, one bug.

*2026-02-25, version 5.2*

Very nice, will be using to track my wainwrights. 

One error I found was in Heron Pike, the image used is for the non-wainwright Heron Pike (next to Sheffield Pike), rather than the correct Heron Pike.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-01-12, version 5.2*

Excellent app really user friendly and simple. Does exactly what it needs to. 

Would be great to get one for the Dales 30.

### 5/5 — Best Wainwright tracker around!

*2025-10-05, version 5.2*

Best quality is simplicity. But I also love the %, the map, the summit list. Basically everything about the app.

Also like that it includes the outlying fells.

Please update to include a tip/buy me a coffee link I would love to donate.

### 5/5 — Must have!

*2025-08-11, version 5.2*

Fantastic app to track your Wainwrights.

### 4/5 — Very good app

*2025-07-22, version 5.1.1*

Overall this is a very good app for tracking the wainwrights. The pictures and the map are brilliant and I love how there is a percentage bar to show progress. I love the fact that the outlying fella have been added. As wainwright wrote a book on the howgill fells it would be brilliant to see them added to this app. If that was the case I’d definitely rate this app 5 stars. But on the whole a great app!

### 3/5 — Missing peaks

*2025-07-11, version 5.0.3*

Up to now I have found 1 wainwright that is missing off the list on the app, stony cove pike, there way be more I’m yet to find

### 5/5 — Essential if you frequent the Lakes

*2025-06-30, version 5.0.3*

Really appreciate this app. It’s well made, easy to use, and does exactly what we’re after - tracks Wainwright hikes.

Sure, as always with apps there’s limitless scope for expanding functionalities - but honestly, this app doesn’t need to. It’s a reliable, dedicated, focused app and is a great companion to OS Maps. Congratulations and thanks to the dev! 🙏

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-06-15, version 5.0.3*

Simple but effective app. Be good if it also describes the actual wainwright where it’s not the highest point. Also be careful opening the app on the fell as its GPS conflicts with Strava and causes a blip!

### 5/5 — Completer

*2025-03-13, version 4.8*

I used this app to help me complete the Wainwrights. It was the perfect companion. Thank you
