Developer Description
A Camino de Santiago Guidebook from St. Jean Pied de Port to Santiago
Now in their 10th year as a mobile app, and their 12th online, the Wise Pilgrim Guides are the go-to source of up-to-date information on the Camino de Santiago.
The app is updated regularly with new content and new features and offers you the ability to leave tips for pilgrims following behind you.
This guide covers the Camino Francés, the most popular route across Spain. It has been redesigned and now works almost exclusively offline (to share your comments with others will require a data connection). As more an more albergues share their WiFi this becomes less of an issue, and the guide will tell you which ones offer WiFi.
Accommodation Directory:
A full directory of Albergues, camping, hotels, pensions, paradors, and cases rurales. Over 900 in total, with special attention to those that can be booked online.
Stageless Guide:
No more "stage anxiety" or guide created bottlenecks.
Maps:
Offline and online versions of a beautiful topographical may will give you a good view of the terrain ahead.
Photos:
Photos of albergues, monuments and other points of interest along the way. Currently 900+ images and growing.
Scrollable Elevation Map:
This one is hard to show with just a screenshot, but the elevation that appears at the top of every city page scrolls East to West. One complete elevation, from St. Jean Pied de Port to Santiago, uninterrupted by page folds.
Comments:
Albergue closed early for the season? Have a restaurant that you want to share, or perhaps one to warn others about? Every location in the app gives you the opportunity to leave a comment and to read the comments left by others. No registration necessary.
¡Buen Camino and thank you for your support!

Wise Pilgrim Camino Francés users say on Google Play
Very handy. Best source of information in an app that I have found, and more current than any book. Have used since first released. Maps are much improved. Text size is fine, although ability to adjust for small, medium, and large would be improvement.
Ok, but the links don't seem to work on my device. Maps are unresponsive at times. Not very intuitive. Basic info is ok though. Update 24 May 22. Much improved. Very handy on the road. Never put me wrong on route guidance.
This app has some great information but none of the maps work on my S6. The app always crashes then. I also noticed it won't load the different towns if I've left it open for awhile, so I have to close it and reopen it.
Using my Samsung Galaxy S3, the Wise Pilgrim guide for the Aragones worked perfectly. With the Frances guide, the thing crashes every time I try to open a map. I want my money back, as it's useless.
On Samsung S7 map is so slow it barely works (but Google Maps works fine). Content is very limited, the best bit is telling you the distance between places, but content on the places you are at is limited. Occasional review of albergues but again this part very slow on my phone. Try something else.
