Great improvements, with one bug in distance tracking
I have been a loyal user of the Wise Pilgrim app for the past four years, consistently relying on it as my go-to guide for the Camino Frances. It is, and remains, the best tool for navigation and keeping track of what lies ahead. I am particularly impressed with the recent updates, especially the new feature that allows for one-tap WhatsApp contact with accommodations—it is incredibly convenient.
I wanted to report a bug I’ve noticed in the latest version regarding how the total distance is calculated:
• The Issue: The app currently seems to sum the distances of all alternate routes together, rather than calculating based on the specific path chosen.
• The Result: The total distance is being inflated by including the mileage of variants (e.g., the Luquin variant). This leads to an inaccurate total (showing 514 miles instead of the standard 483).
• Recommendation: It would be a significant improvement if the total distance could update dynamically based on the specific variant or path the user selects, rather than aggregating every possible route.
Thank you for your ongoing hard work on this app. It is an essential companion for the Camino, and I look forward to seeing this fixed in a future update!

Love it, except...
I really relied on wise pilgrim for this trip. Only issue is that the route distance from Pontevedra north is incorrect due to conflating the central and spiritual routes. My itinerary says there are 80km between cada de Reis and Padron when there are really only 20. App deserves 5 stars if this is fixed

Essential app for Camino
Most pilgrims seem to use this. Route information is very clear. Albergue are very often full especially those on booking sites so great to have contact of others not on those sites. Thanks for this app I used it many times every day helen
Bookings
Disappointed
Response from developer
Can you tell me more? "bookings" is very vague.
Great app
Is a great replacement to a guide book.
