### 5/5 — Very Good App

*2022-09-12*

Just completed the San Salvador and a great app, used the Camino Primitivo one last year and this was really great.  San Salvador is very rural and some of the comments on stuff changes but in general very accurate across the mtns.  Certainly never had any wrong directions and alternatives were clearly marked as well as a bonus.  Only issue we had was at Puerto Pajares where the official signs weren’t clear crossing the road.

### 5/5 — Perfekt für den Jakobsweg

*2020-07-17*

Ich habe von diesem Anbieter alle Apps der Jakobswege und bin knapp 8.000 km mit diesen in Spanien und Portugal gewandert. Die App ist übersichtlich und sehr einfach zu bedienen. Zudem gibt es regelmäßig Updates mit Verbesserungen. Ich bin Begeistert und kann diese nur empfehlen.

### 1/5 — This app should be removed from the App Store

*2019-10-12*

This app is so out of date it is dangerous. I tried to use it about a week ago at the end of September 19 and the track it uses is way off from the marked route and just before the highest part of this camino it’s so far off it would take you to a dangerous location. DON’T BUY IT OR USE IT

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 6.5.0 — 2026-08-27

This update is about finding things faster.

Search has arrived. Tap the magnifying glass on the guide or the map and jump straight to any town or albergue on the route.

Measure distances with your finger. Press and hold any stop on the list, then drag up or down. The distance to wherever your finger lands appears as you go, following the route you have selected.

If your itinerary has dates, the map now opens on today's stage. Tapping the stage name brings the view back to that day's walk whenever you wander off exploring.

Elevation figures are now properly smoothed. Climbs read like the guidebooks instead of overshooting, and stage difficulty and walking times are truer for it.

The scissor filter learned a new trick. Alongside trimming the list from your location, it can now trim to today's stage when your itinerary has dates: tap it to cycle between the two. And it no longer hides the town you are sleeping in.

Also fixed: itineraries imported from the website now carry your chosen accommodation for each stop, the favorites filter shows your places right away, and a long press no longer opens a place by accident.

Buen Camino.

### 6.3.2 — 2026-08-07

Fly your Camino before you walk it. The new Flyover screen gives you a cinematic 3D preview of every stage in your itinerary, and Explore mode lets you roam the whole route in 3D. The dashboard is now yours to arrange — press and hold any card to move it. Also includes the latest albergue updates from the trail.

### 6.3.0 — 2026-07-03

You can now share your Camino with other pilgrims — send your itinerary and notes by QR code or file, and import theirs just as easily. You can also back up your plan and notes to a file, so they're safe if you change phones. Thanks for walking with Wise Pilgrim. Buen Camino!

### 6.2.15 — 2026-06-28

A big update this time around.

New on the map: a 6th style — 3D — to help you get your bearings in the bigger cities. And every map style now responds to a two-finger tilt, so you can lean the map back and look off into the distance to see what's ahead.

If you plan with the itinerary, there's a lot here for you:
- Dates are now supported, including multi-night stays in the same town.
- The stage banners at the start and end of each day tell you far more now.
- Notes you add in the online planner come along for the ride — they import straight into the app.
- City pages now show what you've booked, whether it's confirmed, and how you booked it.
- The map can walk you through your itinerary one stage at a time.

And the route page handles those long lists better — it trims itself at your starting point, with an easy tap to bring the earlier places back whenever you want them.

### 6.2.14 — 2026-06-18

New — weather forecasts for every town and your itinerary stages.

A new Wildfire Map. Tap the Layers button and switch on Wildfires to see active fires across Spain and Portugal — updated daily from the EU's Copernicus fire service — plus this season's burnt areas along your route.

I've also refreshed the route tracks with cleaner elevation profiles and a few corrections, updated a number of albergues with the latest information I have, and fixed a few bugs along the way.

Buen Camino.
