## What is Yorkshire Three Peaks?

The Three Peaks of Pen-y-ghent, Ingleborough and Whernside are among the best-known in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Every year thousands come to reach the top of at least one or to conquer all three in one go. 


The app contains route details for the classic 24-mile circular walk, route maps for the individual peaks, Whernside, Pen-y-ghent and Ingleborough and four other shorter walks in the Three Peaks area. Don’t just come for the day, come for the stay and explore more of this spectacular area and its scenery.  


This GPS enabled app provides reassurance as you follow the arrow along your chosen route. It will also show you how far you are around the route. 


This app has been developed alongside our National Park Yorkshire Three Peaks Rangers who have added points of interest along the routes for you. 


The app also includes important safety advice and the code of conduct, which will help  you stay safe on the walks and help protect our  local communities. 


The app is not a mapping tool. You must take other forms of navigation with you and know how to use them. We recommend you have an OS Explorer OL2 Yorkshire Dales (Southern and Western) map with you. 


Using GPS tracking uses more of your battery than normal – do not rely solely on this app when walking.  


Always be prepared, conditions can change rapidly in an upland area such as the Three Peaks. 


You must read the safety information contained in this app before using the route information.  
  
The Yorkshire Three Peaks are very fragile environments, and the public rights of way network is under pressure from the hundreds of thousands of visitors that come to enjoy it each year. Maintaining the paths in the Yorkshire Three Peaks area costs on average £35 per metre. 



The proceeds of this app all go towards helping the Yorkshire Dales National Park with this work.

### 3/5 — No frills app - could be improved

*2025-05-02*

I wish you could zoom out a little further on the map.

It would have been great to be able to download a gpx file of the route.

Other than that, it does a pretty good job

### 5/5 — Very good app

*2024-04-13*

Very good app

### 4/5 — Minor fixes needed

*2023-07-20*

The app is a great way to support the Three Peaks routes. Does more than I thought it would. 

Minor issues:

Features - North and distance markers / grid not shown on maps

Content - Ingleton is no where near the Horton-in Ribblesdale railway station as mentioned on the Inglebrough walk

### 2/5 — Work in progress

*2019-08-24*

So I did the Ingleborough route today, and it was correct.

The directions are OK, and it is not the app developer’s fault the arrow has fallen off the crucial path signpost where Horton and Clapham walkers part company on the way down. I thought I had overshot the turning, and it was only in hindsight using Viewranger that I had definitely gone the correct way. If the route stated the footpath joined the Pennine Bridleway I wouldn’t have felt lost for so long. 

The app is a bit odd:

-The graphics/buttons are from the iPod touch 2nd generation era. The use of buttons to link back to previous pages is inconsistent.
-The Feedback button opens a box and lets you type, but you can’t submit it as it contains “invalid arguments”.
-I don’t know what “Layar” is, but that doesn’t work either - it generates a security error message on a third party website.
-The GPS functionality DEFINITELY isn’t in there. I’m running 12.4 on an SE. The arrowhead button on the map legend does nothing, and there is no entry for the app in Location Services. I had 4G reception almost all the way round too.
-Once you click “Start” on the route instructions page you are taken to the map. It’s a nice touch that there is a stopwatch function, but 1)The distance doesn’t change (because the GPS isn’t there), and 2)If you want to toggle back to the text instructions you have to abandon your timing, which then resets when you “Start” again.

It’s worth £2.99 at the moment, just. It NEEDS to be brought up to date, to match the website.

**Developer response:** Just to let you know, this app has been completely updated with a new and improved interface and has more routes to choose from. If you get a chance to use the new app, leave us another review to let us know what you think of it. The app is now GPS enabled.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2018-12-16*

Downloaded ios version for iPad. Simply doesn't work. Just presents as small window in middle of screen and will not enlarge to full screen. Shame on Yorkshire Dales NP for promoting it. Waste of money

Sorry you had a poor experience with our last app. From the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority Communications Team.

### 5/5 — Working fine on iOS 11.4.1

*2018-08-10*

It would appear that whatever bugs were causing problems for the previous reviewer are no longer an issue, at least not on my iPhone which is currently running iOS 11.4.1

**Developer response:** Just to let you know, this app has been completely updated with a new and improved interface and has more routes to choose from.

### 1/5 — Rubbish App

*2017-07-22*

Do not waste youur time and money with this app - it just doesn't work!  How did it even end up on the App Store??  In case people aren't fully aware, 1 star =  I hate it.

### 1/5 — App does not work

*2017-07-14*

No maps, no gps, useless. Absolute waste of £2.99. attempts made to contact the developer with no response.

**Developer response:** Just to let you know, this app has been completely updated with a new and improved interface and has more routes to choose from. If you get a chance to use the new app, leave us another review to let us know what you think of it. It is now GPS enabled with maps. From the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority Communications Team.

### 1/5 — Blank screen and no signal.

*2017-07-09*

This app required wifi to work, which there is non on the trail so you won't be able to use it on the day. Mine has now broken completely and only shows white blank pages on any selected buttons from the bottom. Can't even leave feedback whilst in the app as it keeps saying error. Payed £2.99 for it. Doesn't work. Don't bother using.
