### 5/5 — Great, useful app!

*2024-07-28, version 4.6*

Highly recommended for tracking your Wainwrights

### 5/5 — Great App

*2024-07-17, version 4.6*

I have just completed the Eastern Fells and have used this app to record my progress. I have found it invaluable and I get a great deal of satisfaction when I tick a fell off after a walk.

### 5/5 — Easy way to keep track

*2024-02-05, version 4.3*

Great app 👏🏻

### 5/5 — Useful tool for both planning & recording

*2023-12-13, version 4.2.3*

As a long term walker of the Lakeland fells this is a great app to aid planning and, once conquered, recording your progress. The map feature is the most useful screen (IMHO) giving a quick and way of looking what was left and where to base myself for my next trip.

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2023-11-05, version 4.1.1*

I’ve found this app really useful to see progress and especially to find the next ones to do. The new topo layer is a real bonus too. Brilliant !

### 5/5 — Fun and easy way to track peaks

*2023-07-21*

I have been bagging the Wainwrights now for a few years, and this app is a very handy way of keeping track of which ones I’ve climbed already. The map function is very useful indeed. Wish I had downloaded it earlier!

### 5/5 — Handy checklist!

*2023-07-06, version 3.1.1*

Great app and just what I was after to check off the Wainwrights as I climb them. Great you can put the date it was climbed! Only thing I wish you could do is upload an image (a pic on each summit) would be amazing! But for free - it’s a fantastic app 🤩

### 5/5 — Fantastic app!

*2023-01-08, version 2.0.2*

Exactly what I was looking for - kudos to the developer on building such a useful app for free!

The Wainwright books are brilliant, but having something to keep track of the fells you’ve climbed and the useful notes about each fell on your phone is super handy.

### 2/5 — Annoying if you change device

*2024-10-27, version 4.7*

When you offer a Share Log and Import Log.  Why oh why have you set it so export the log is in a DIFFERENT FORMAT TO THE IMPORT?  So if you send it to a new device your log WON’T Import.    If you need double spaces after the name for import then add them to the export log.  Then import will work.  Isn’t that BLOODY OBVIOUS???

### 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

### 3/5 — Syncing

*2024-12-11, version 4.7*

Is it possible to sync the log… ie from iPhone to iPad??
Otherwise great app! Love the % feature 👍

### 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!

### 4/5 — Whinlatter?

*2024-04-05, version 4.3.2*

Great app but I think the Whinlatter pin is in the wrong place?

### 4/5 — A very useful tool but no cloud backup?

*2024-03-18, version 4.3.2*

A very useful and easy to use tool and I have been entering all of my summits however I cannot see how to ensure the app backs up to iCloud as it is not recognised by the Apps list?

### 4/5 — Brilliant App

*2023-10-29, version 4.0.3*

Couple of suggestions to improve it even more...

1/. Height in feet as well as metric which some of us still find useful.

2/. Progress in each category eg Mountains.

### 4/5 — Good fell recorder

*2023-01-18, version 2.0.2*

This a good way to record fells you have done.
Unfortunately at least one of the details is incorrect, Brim Fell states that it is about a mile from Bannerdale Crags, I think it’s about 20 miles as the crow flies.

### 4/5 — A good app but could be better

*2022-12-11, version 1.0.8*

Found this app recently and I think this is a good way to record your progress of the Wainwrights. However it really would be better if you could enter the dates completed. You could then see how and when your progress was going.

### 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.

### 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

### 5/5 — Excellent free app for the wainwrights

*2025-02-04, version 4.8*

An excellent free app for tracking the Wainwrights you’ve climbed. Provides helpful information on each hill/mountain/fell.

Hopefully the developer brings out apps for the outlying fells, Howgills, Dales and North York Moors as well.

### 5/5 — Love It!

*2024-09-13, version 4.6*

Living a distance away from the Lakes, my time is precious and which Wainwrights I can bag is limited, so this is a great way to track them! My only suggestion would be to add the rank number of the Wainwrights - so when I’m looking for one I can see the elevation but also whether it’s 5th highest or 150th ☺️
