This is my preferred app for caminos due to its accuracy. The recent update has upgraded functionality compared to the previous version. There are some areas where it could be improved: The app crashes on initial startup. To solve this you need to open it a second time. When opening the app it starts from a zoomed out view but I think it could be better by saving an approximate location to cache so it's quicker to start, also starting with the last zoom level that it closed with.
Not worth bothering with information is way out of date. The way marking so good and lots of broken links where albergues etc. shut.
The app has fantastic information, especially the elevation profiles. I used them to originally plan my walk as they have services and distance as well. However, it cuts out and has hundreds of kms missing, then shows nothing after Huelmos. Sadly, the developers aren't answering my emails. can you please fix the problem?!? I need to get to Santiago...
Online map only shows where you are if connected to WiFi. Useless for a phone app. Many of the accommodation web links do not work.
Unable to read some of the things on this app as I'm unable to make it any bigger! Even with glasses on i can't make it out.
