Indispensable
I have used the Wise Pilgrim apps on all of my Caminos including the Camino Frances (2023), Camino Portuguese and Finisterre (2024) and Camino Frances (2026). This app is indispensable. The maps are excellent, easy to follow, and they show more options than other apps. Many informative village descriptions help me understand why places are important and what to look for. I especially rely on the accommodation comments by other users which help me decide where I want to stay. And a recent upgrade added a stage planning feature, notes, and many user interface improvements. I would not walk a Camino without a Wise Pilgrim app. Highly recommended.

Place names not shown in this update
In this update if you use the map the names of the villages and towns are not shown so it is difficult to find a certain place. I used the app on the Camino last year and it was great, but now it appears the update has reduced the user friendliness
Disappointing
Not intuitive at all. I also bought it for the MacBook, which it doesn’t even appear was happy to take my money. I asked AI and they said just go to Google maps and don’t screw around.
Not helpful
Currently on Frances. I cannot set daily starting points as the app always seems to think I am one place further than I actually am and everything “behind” me is erased. Hard to read names of places, lettering is so small. What is the point of “favorite” an albergue if it doesnt show as a fave on the map? So many ways this could be improved to be useful. OTOH, the CF is marked so well you dont really need an app.

Hard to navigate
I am having a very difficult time establishing my starting point in Leon, saving it, and moving on the next next place and saving it. I’ve had to start over multiple times, it isn’t at all easy to set my itinerary.
