Wise Pilgrim Camino Portugués User Reviews

I don’t understand

Why wouldn’t you design this app the same way as the Frances route app? This app doesn’t let you plan your stages on the fly by holding down the mile markers which is such an essential part of the Camino experience i.e to work out how long you want to walk and where to stay. This app really doesn’t cut it.

Glitches for DAYS

I’ve tried to complete the SES three or four times now. I’ve tried doing it in a different order, writing different things. I paid for the upgrade. It still shorts out and deletes all my data before I can save it.

Hot garbage

Crashes when entering info for barcode. Find a stable app. This app is not ready for customers.

Literal Camino

This app help so much with organising our Camino. We found the map extremely helpful. Thanks we had a great time. 😀

Top App

Meine Pilgerfreunde haben mich um die App beneidet, das Kartenmaterial ist hervorragend und verbraucht wenig Akku, zusätzlich die Infos über diverse Dörfer und mögliche Umwege sowie Sehenswürdigkeiten waren ein Segen!

Géolocalisation inopérante

Je suis déçu par cette version : là géolocalisation ne fonctionne qu'en mode carte. Dans la liste des étapes, comme dans le profil, il faut chercher à la main !
Podiensis, pourtant gratuite, fonctionne mieux.

IOS18 offline maps no longer work

Help. An otherwise great app let down with IOS18. Offline maps no longer show trail when zoomed in. No way to follow path without reception

Very Useful!

The app paid for itself as soon as I opened it. The Lisbon guide mentioned the Festival of St. Anthony on June 13th. I was going to start walking on the 12th. Obviously, I changed those plans.

I like the map, the links to accommodations, and the recommendations from other users. The app was just updated a few days ago. I’ve used three other Wise Pilgrim routes and they’ve been great.

Brilliant, but……..

Having used the Frances last year buying the Portuguese was a no brainier. But after releasing your latest version I can no longer see the profile and the handy little green line that lets you know where you are. We started walking a week ago when it was working fine. Now when I press the icon for the profile - it just frustratingly kicks me out of the app altogether - aarrgghhh !!

Used this app for multiple various Caminos

I always use Wise Pilgrim apps for our Caminos. We have done the Portuguese route various times, Variante Espiritual, the French route (from St. Jean and Ponferrada), and most of the Winter route. Every one we make sure to use these apps.
So helpful for navigation, distance, elevation, lodgings, and a little bit of history. Makes the Camino with a family doable.

Falsche Wege hinter den Überschriften

Bei der App sind zentral weg und Küsten weg vertauscht. Und bei den Höhenprofilen stimmt auch einiges nicht, da liegen andere Karten unter den Überschriften, espiritual.. das würde ich mal ändern ;)

Offline maps do not show Camino path

We purchased this app for offline use. The offline maps downloaded, but the Camino route is not shown superimposed on the offline maps - only the stages are shown. The route is shown on satellite and standard maps, but these are not usable without cell service. So the app is essentially useless for navigation without cell service. I hope the developers address this issue!

Promising but broken.

A few points to start. I used it. It worked to get me through the Camino. I’m comparing it to the unfortunately defunct Camino Ninja app.

The most annoying bug is that it won’t zoom to your current position without crashing. At least on my phone. If this had behaved better, I wouldn’t have been quite as annoyed with the app, especially after paying for it. I was constantly having to select my route and scroll for a ridiculous amount of time to find my position.

There’s some inconsistency in links within the app. Sometimes clicking the elevation profile brings up the profile for the wrong route. Selecting a town on the map doesn’t seem to display a list of accommodations there, while selecting it from the list-view of the route does.

There really should be a better way to visualize stages. Being able to select a desired end point using current position (or closest official point to current position) and visualize elevation, distance, and services only along that stretch would be better.

Again, it worked. I guess I got my money’s worth. Still a bit disappointing though.

Bug: No Route With Offline Maps

On iPhone 13 Pro with iOS 16.5.1, no route appears on the offline map. This is a pretty significant bug considering offline maps are one of the features that are advertised as what you are paying for. There is also not a clear way to submit a bug report via the app or website, so my only option is through this review.

Great for Portuguese Coastal and Litoral

Absolutely loved this app for navigation on the Portuguese coastal/Litoral Camino. Was spot on for navigating 99%. Not that this would be a difficult route to navigate by simply following the arrows and signs most of the way, but there were several times, especially in larger towns and cities that the app was very useful for not getting lost. Loved that it combined the coastal and Litoral routes. Also very good for the Spiritual Variant, which I highly recommend. Only used this for Navigation, and there are other resources for other info.

Fantastic App

Invaluable tool for my Camino Portuguese. I love the “breadcrumbs“. When used with my location they guided me with confidence. I also used Wise Pilgrim to walk the camino in reverse back to Porto. It worked flawlessly. Especially helpful are the links to the various accommodations. Made making a reservation a breeze. Can’t recommend enough!

The ways are changed , supposed be the opposite

Küsten und Zentralweg sind seit dem Update vertauscht. Sonst passt es

Perfect app for the Camino

Made me feel safe- offline maps! And perfect for planning each step

Excellent

Constantly updated

Missing info?

Hi Michael, I love your apps, but with the Portuguese Coastal route it appears that there is something missing as Vigo isn’t there though it talks about getting through Vigo and the detail ends with Castrelos Park (though there this no detail either only the kms info). Am I missing something? Should I be switching to another section? Thanks!

Response from developer

Indeed there was a glitch which caused a section of the Vigo-Redondela to not appear. It has been fixed!
