Update = ruined app

The update has removed the ‘actual
Campsites’ (free camp, w dogs) that I used the most. Don’t bother with this app any more if you’re travelling alone and with ya dog on the cheap…. It just doesn’t list the sites it used to have. Waste of time now.

Destinations

Please please please give us back the option of degrees/minute/seconds. My gps doesn’t respond to the decimal format and it drives me crazy having to convert from your format to enter mine.
As others have said, new doesn’t necessarily mean better or easier

Was better before

WikiCamps has gone down hill since Gday group bought it. My filters always reset. Map always changes. They are deleting free camps so the people are forced to book at one of their parks instead.

Terrible UX and filtering

Unfortunately this is the only app with enough information. Sadly a lot of locations are outdated and the developers don’t seem to care about removing old locations. The filtering is terrible and only works under certain conditions, so you often have to clear all filters and start over. The app is also not well fitted for iOS because it lacks basic iOS navigational features, and the overall UI/UX is quite bad.

The platform is demolished

You used to be able to find sites that were 4wd access only. All gone. Please bring this filter back. I asked support years back.

Gone massively downhill since it was sold

Free camps being deleted around G’Day owned parks and only advertising their parks, bad reviews of Gday sites being removed, constantly being logged out

Pretty Please Wiki Camps

Bring back the date of the review. Stating that’s it’s a year ago doesn’t tell us what time of the year it was.

Free camp priority.

Definitely need to cater for free off grid campers as we support small towns $$. Please don’t be sell outs to big corporate mobs.

Recent updates ruined the app.

What was once a great app has been ruined me a “schmick” new look. Not as useable, intuitive, or effective. Please go back to the old version!

Nowhere near as good as it was four years ago

Very unhappy with the updates since. You now only promote certain parks. Not all.

Used to be the best

Unfortunately, it is now only a booking agent. The reviews are ancient the updates for the sites mediocre and many wrong or not updated because there is no money in it. Sad

Rubbish now

We are always outback and out of range, used to be able to find spots without mobile range and now it doesn’t work if you don’t have mobile range.. absolutely useless to us now.

Phil

Since they removed the PC capability it has become very awkward to plan a trip using Wikicamps. I’m actively looking for an alternative as trying to plan a trip on your phone is nigh on impossible

Won’t Load

New is not always better

We used the old version on our trip around Australia and dozens of trips around WA. The new version is not particularly user friendly but will keep trying to make sense of it!

Put it back

Why are there no longer options for dogs allowed etc? All the fillers have changed and it’s so much harder to use. It should automatically open to the map view and the filters need to be put back! I may finally move over to the all camps app

What happened

This used to be a great resource but it’s become very buggy. Filters don’t seem to work. All the campsites keep disappearing and I have to restart the app. I press on a campsite and nothing loads or it just stalls out after looking at two photos and won’t load anything else. Overall it just keeps needing a restart it over and over to get things to load again. That’s on a good Internet connection- all other apps working fine.

This probably isn’t the fault of the developers but every “free” campsite I find on here is actually paid.

Use to be better

It doesnt update well. Sometimes not at all.

Use to be better.

Disgraceful Discovery Parks

How you took a perfect app, and absolutely destroyed it is beyond me. It’s clearly been done on purpose to try and destroy free camping. Either way, the MS sign in, the drop outs, the in ability to upload images, the loss of weather in that region, the list goes on and on. It’s so bad, I’m considering building and launching the functionality of the old app.
You’re a disgrace.

Too much detail, dont want to know about flagpoles and other items, just want camp sites
