### 4/5 — Prawie super

*2026-05-14*

Bardzo dobra aplikacja w wersji płatnej szkoda tylko że taka droga myślę że jeśli kosztowała by 20-30€ miałaby więcej klientów premium

**Developer response:** Dziękujemy za miły feedback i cieszymy się, że podoba Ci się aplikacja. Rozumiemy Twoją opinię dotyczącą ceny. Subskrypcja pomaga nam utrzymywać aplikację, aktualizować informacje, mapy offline oraz stale rozwijać nowe funkcje i treści. Bardzo doceniamy Twoją sugestię, takie opinie są dla nas naprawdę ważne.

### 2/5 — Not worth it

*2026-01-05, version 8.2.4*

I purchased the pro version. In my opinion, it's not worth it. The only value is the list of trails sorted by ratings and comments. The rest didn't work as expected: the weather forecast for the trails was rarely accurate; the app showed full sun, but in reality, it was constantly raining. Worst of all, it showed the trail as open when, in reality, it was closed due to weather conditions. Information could be found on the VisitMadeira website, which I recommend and which proved much more useful.

### 2/5 — Download GPX does not work

*2025-12-28*

App is fine but I purchased a subscription specifically so that I could download GPX to my watch and that button endlessly asks me to buy a subscription (I can see it’s in my subscriptions so I assume the fault is with the app)

**Developer response:** Hi and thank you for your feedback and we’re sorry for the inconvenience — this definitely shouldn’t happen. Please make sure the app is updated to the latest version and try restoring your purchase. If the issue persists, contact us via the in-app support or at info@walkmeguide.com so we can help you resolve it quickly.

### 2/5 — Outdated app

*2025-06-30, version 7.4.5*

The app is outdated and not maintained anymore. Some trails might be closed or partially closed. If you do use the app make sure you check the trail info in other sources as well. Other than that the routes are quite accurate if you are only looking for some general info about the trails. But for a paid app I would expect regular maintenance.

### 2/5 — Ошибка после обновления

*2024-12-16*

После обновления перестала открываться. Стартует, но на первом экране сворачивается…

### 1/5 — Poor content

*2024-09-16*

I used for a holiday in Madeira. The list of walks was not exhaustive, the information was either not up to date (walks closed as a result of wildfires) or incomplete. There was a lack of in-depth or insightful information - other sources and sites provided better. The links to transport information (particularly buses) was difficult to follow (partly due to the poor & confusing local bus information).
On the plus side the app worked and the geo-location was reassuring generally. However, on the one walk we really needed it, the diversion route was not shown on geolocation so might as well have not bothered. Would not recommend.

**Developer response:** Hello Wally, Thank you for your feedback! We work hard to keep all information up-to-date, especially with frequent updates on trail conditions due to events like wildfires, landslides, or weather. We recommend enabling geolocation and accepting updates when prompted, as Madeira’s trails are constantly evolving. Signal can be weaker in valleys or tunnels, but it’s generally available along most paths.

Regarding transport, less populated areas may indeed have limited schedules, especially between weekdays and weekends. Please feel free to send us further details so we can investigate any specific iss

### 5/5 — Gute Wander App

*2024-07-29*

Eine sehr gute App für alle die sich nicht auskennen auf der Insel aber auch für diejenigen, die glauben alles besser zu wissen😜 leider fehlen(zum Teil) aktuelle Routenänderungen aufgrund von Tunnelschliessung seitens des Anbieters… daher auch neuste Kommentare lesen, hilfreich!

### 5/5 — Une fonction inexistante ?

*2024-06-12*

A première vue l’appli est vraiment bien faite avec les cartes et toutes les infos requises. Par contre, comment sélectionner une randonnée à partir d’un point donné ?
Exemple : je réside dans un hôtel à Calheta. Quelles randonnées sont à proximité.

### 2/5 — Nicht überzeugend

*2024-03-17*

Es ist eine nette Sammlung von vielen Wanderungen auf Madeira, aber die kann man auch an anderer Stelle erhalten. 
Was mich bewogen hatte die App zu kaufen, war die Behauptung der Entwickler, tagesaktuell über Sperrungen oder Behinderungen zu informieren.
Dies stimmt so nicht!
Touren die als gesperrt angezeigt wurden, waren geöffnet und konnten gelaufen werden. Eine andere Tour war versperrt, aber es fehlte der Hinweis in der App, die meldete nämlich keine Sperrung.
Wenn man nicht wirklich sicherstellen kann, dass  man aktuelle Einschränkungen mitteilt und wieder aufhebt, sollte man es garnicht tun.
Ich würde die App nicht wieder kaufen.

### 4/5 — Balade ou rondo ?

*2024-03-07*

Il y a vraiment pas mal de belle balade à faire il y a le filtre sans prétention mais vraiment bien fait dans la facilité ou au plus dure en rond ou aller simple donc un retour obligé mais il peut y avoir un bus ? Je trouve cette application excellente je ne suis pas à madère mais on peut considérer que je la visite et de plus il y a la 3D vraiment sympathique ! Il faut savoir aussi être humble avec un petit sac à dos des bonne chaussures peu être un pancho léger si il a pluie ou humidité certain parcourt demande un petit casque pour les tunnels de lovada !!!!

### 1/5 — Inutilisable sans payer

*2026-08-27*

Tout à fait à l’image de madère… un pionnier dans l’art de la randonnée payante. Au prix de l’entrée, un système de réservation performant et gratuit serait la moindre des choses. On en est loin! Je regrette déjà mon séjour !

### 1/5 — Connexion

*2026-04-20*

Abo à vie… 2cartes téléchargées et puis plus rien!

**Developer response:** Merci pour votre retour 😊 Ce n’est pas le comportement attendu : avec le mode Lifetime, les cartes sont normalement téléchargées automatiquement et prêtes à être utilisées hors ligne. Pouvez-vous nous envoyer plus de détails à info@walkmeguide.com? Nous serons ravis de vous aider à résoudre cela rapidement.

### 1/5 — Dommage tout est payant

*2026-04-07*

Pourquoi donner la possibilité de télécharger une application gratuitement alors que tout est payant à l’intérieur, quelle perte de temps

### 1/5 — Confusing - doesn’t do what it says

*2026-01-04*

Paid my money thinking from what I read that I would have access to all the walks and be able to download them - absolute rubbish. Can only access onto gps if I pay more money on a monthly basis. Would not have paid for what it offers

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback and we’re sorry for the frustration caused. Access to all walks is included in the paid plans, however the download of original GPX files is an exclusive feature of the Lifetime plan, which is clearly indicated in the subscription details in the store and in the app. Monthly plans includes GPX export of any trail you record inside the app. We understand this may not have matched your expectations and we apologize for any confusion. If you need help reviewing your plan or have questions before choosing, feel free to contact us at info@walkmeguide.com — we’re always happy to help.

### 1/5 — Problems with performance

*2025-11-10, version 8.2.1*

The app was working great before i started my journey but one day before it starts to have serious problems with performance.. app is not working.. i spend money for nothing..

### 1/5 — Charged twice but not working

*2025-09-29*

I purchased a basic subscription for this app after a personal recommendation. When it didn’t work I tried to upgrade to a pro membership and was charged the full amount for both! And it still doesn’t work. Would not recommend, don’t waste your time with this app.

Update - I was refunded both subscriptions within 48 hours, however I still ended up in the middle of a cloud when I was hoping to watch the sunrise :(

**Developer response:** We’re really sorry for the trouble you experienced — that shouldn’t have happened. We’re glad your refund was processed quickly, and we completely understand the disappointment, especially when you were hoping to catch the sunrise. The issue that affected some subscriptions has already been resolved, and we hope you’ll give WalkMe another try on your next visit to Madeira. 🌿

### 1/5 — App doesnt work, scam!

*2025-09-19*

You have to pay for a subscription to use it, I got the basic subscription for 8 eur monthly because I only needed it for one walk - and it didn’t work, kept telling me I should update to pro!! Total scam and phone number for app doesnt work either. Frankly I want my money back.

**Developer response:** Hi Sarah, we’re truly sorry for this experience 🙏. As explained in our emails, this was a technical error that affected some devices after the last update — not a scam. The issue is now fixed. You can request your refund directly via the App Store following the instructions we shared by email. Again, our apologies for the inconvenience.

### 1/5 — Application inutile

*2025-07-12*

Très peu d’informations utiles pour les randonnées et cher pour des informations qu’on trouve facilement ailleurs. Pas à jour pour la randonnée mythique PR1…

**Developer response:** Merci pour votre retour ! En devenant Explorateur, vous accédez à toutes les randonnées débloquées, aux cartes et infos hors ligne, à des outils de planification et bien plus encore. Nous espérons que votre séjour à Madère a été excellent. Pour toute suggestion : walkmemobile@gmail.com. Infos gratuites aussi sur www.walkmeguide.com

### 1/5 — Interdit de randonner !

*2025-03-20*

Aujourd’hui , jeudi 2 » mars 2025 toutes les randonnées de Madère sont marqués fermés  temporairement.
heureusement que personne ne suit cette indication stupide qui 
s applique à toutes les randonnées !!
le problème c’est que certaines sont vraiment fermées pour de bonnes raisons,  mais comme 
l appli a décidé pour nous que tout était interdit elle nous met de fait en danger !

### 1/5 — Useless, the same trails available for free on alltrails

*2024-11-03, version 6.4.7*

Totally not worth the price

### 5/5 — Excellente application la rando à madère

*2026-08-12*

Très bonne application complète et intuitive, qui permet de choisir ses randos à madère. Le petit plus la position sur map des points de départ précis de chaque rando
A télécharger absolument si vous souhaitez faire de la rando à madère 
Quelques points d’amélioration :
- référencer a minima tous les PR (ex 15 et 19 manquants)
- préciser les capacités de parking au niveau des départs pas toujours facile de se garer dans les petits villages

### 5/5 — Perfect companion for walking the levadas

*2026-08-02*

This app does exactly what the levada walker needs and does it very well!

### 5/5 — A great app for walking in Madeira

*2026-07-13*

I’ve used this app for a number of years. It’s great a finding different walks, is very informative, with information about elevation and photos as well.

### 5/5 — Must have for Madeira Visitors

*2025-10-03*

A must have app for every Madeira visitor planning to go on hikes. 
Easy to understand; all official trails available and all features you’d wish for when going out and about.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind words! 🌿 We’re thrilled to know WalkMe helped make your hikes in Madeira easier and safer. Your feedback means a lot to us — wishing you many more amazing trails ahead! 💚

### 5/5 — Wouldn’t want to be without it

*2025-01-21*

We have walked several of the levadas in the app. I find the location tracking and things to look for on the route extremely useful. We always supplement the route with a map to locate bus stops and starting locations.

### 5/5 — WalkMe extra apka

*2025-01-02, version 7.0.4*

Polecam wszystkim którzy chcą spróbować pieszych wycieczek na Maderze lewarami. Aplikacja jest łatwa w obsłudze i daje szansę ocenić czy wybór odpowiada naszej kondycji. Życzę dużo wrażeń z spacerów.

### 5/5 — Super

*2024-11-16*

Eine wirklich extrem hilfreiche Handy App. Ich hab mich viel durch Internetseiten und Bücher gewöhnt, um Wanderhinweise für levadas zu bekommen. Diese App ist das beste, was es zu dem Thema gibt.

Das tollste sind die Kommentarfunktion und auch der Fakt, dass viele Benutzer Kommentare zum Zustand der Wanderung hinterlassen. So hatten wir immer aktuellere Informationen. Teilweise aktueller als auf den offiziellen Internetseiten von Madeira angegeben.

Perfekt wäre es noch, wenn es eine Exportmöglichkeit für GPX Dateien gäbe

### 5/5 — Robin Gambles

*2024-10-17*

So good to be able not just to know the basic details of a walk but also your precise location, so as to know whether still in route and roughly how far!

### 5/5 — Fantastic use whilst on holiday in Madeira!

*2024-07-30*

We used this to pick and plan three hikes whilst on holiday. It was fantastic! We didn’t get lost, the comments from others are highly valuable. I would just check weather separately for different heights before heading - maybe something to be incorporated into the app. 100% worth the money!
