★★★★ Vince S 11/28/2025 v2025.09.16
Used in past prefer the book. Well just like ACSI Customer Service. Useless. Zoom in and sites vanish. zoom out to far same happens. ask for directions and won't via Waze or Google. Can't copy address in the app to enter details on Google maps Was emailed to take up app and advised would get the book by Xmas. not the case told by customer services that email was a mistake. asked for refund. and guy laughed and put phone down.
★★★★ Roland Schall 10/27/2025 v2025.09.16
jumps about too much , most revues are German, difficulty zooming in also no filter for all year campsite open
★★★★ Thomas K 9/16/2025 v2025.07.23
irritating to use, map downloads are a pain.

★★★★ Julian Stoev 7/12/2025
became paid
★★★★ Nina Stanley 6/6/2025
Even if you have paid for a card you cannot use the maps on this app without paying extra. Waste of time.
★★★★ Jim Maas 5/25/2025 v2025.05.06
new app will not store maps, on either SD card, or device. every time I start it have to reload maps, send to have a bug for Android 15.
★★★★ Francis Paulley 5/20/2025 v2025.05.06
Not easy at all very confusing gave up in the end needs major overhauling
★★★★ nick petherbridge 5/16/2025 v2025.05.06
tried getting hold of Cs to no avail
★★★★ Nenad Djordjevic 5/13/2025 v2025.04.17
The app don't show the camping sites until you pay so you don't have a any info iit good or not until you pay. SO THAT INFO IS HIDDEN with purpose. Because only when tou pay you xan see what they are offering. It is like paying for something you dont know what it is. That is not good. Because you can be given a poor options and options that you are not interested in. Thanks but no thanks.
★★★★ philip vickers. 5/7/2025 v2025.04.17
Very slow and unresponsive
★★★★ claire packman 4/17/2025 v2025.04.01
Terrible. I set up a subscription and it won't let me use the app because it tells me I have not set up the subscription. When I try to set up the subscription again it tells me I already have one!
★★★★ Piers Brereton 4/5/2025 v2025.04.01
complex inaccurate slow & horrible - and we always subscribe first so very disappointing.
★★★★ Trevor Murphy 3/27/2025 v2025.03.04
absolutely brutal! In Italy and trying to find any place for the night is a challenge! several paid places had no one on site to pay or get advice on how to use services. This place Area Rimessaggio Ripamonti is only for camper storage! A ridiculous thing to find out after driving two hours to get there. Fuming after paying for a years subscription for this utter disgrace of an app!
★★★★ reg holland 12/15/2024 v2024.12.10
Too slow
★★★★ Frans Kluijtmans 11/24/2024 v2024.09.23
What a useless app. 1 star is to mich for this app
★★★★ 박종 9/29/2024 v2024.09.23
acsi 만 검색 기능 없음. 일반 캠핑장과 acsi 가 섞여 나오는데 그렇다고 일반 캠핑장이 다 등록된것도 아님. 제공되는 가격 정보는 성수기 기준이라서 비수기에만 할인되는 acsi 에는 안 맞음.
★★★★ Robert Hastings 8/27/2024
App will not show discount card. Terribly slow. Useless.
★★★★ Anon Anon (anon) 8/22/2024 v2024.08.02
The app is slow, has less camping sites than google maps and "the inspectors" do NOT visit the sites "every year", and some campingsites simply do not exist and never have. I have no idea where they get their price estimates from. EDIT: One example, "Camping San Pelayo" is (as of 2024.08.22) marked as next to Camping La Isla Picos Europa in the village Potes, instead of in the village of San Pelayo, 20 km along the road to the west. This would have been noticed had the "inspectors" visited.
★★★★ Ben P 8/20/2024 v2024.08.02
paid for the access and wasted money. not worth the hassle of the constant requests for downloading data for off line access. it's a no no from me. could be good but it's terrible
★★★★ Bryon George 8/20/2024
Will not allow me to pay for subscription it keeps entering an old email address after I have entered my new address in my account
★★★★ Simon Wheeler 8/3/2024 v2024.06.06
Not good at all you pay for it and does not work
★★★★ Anthony Thomas Mills 6/28/2024 v2024.04.15
My ACSI app will not open.
★★★★ Andy Mouser 6/14/2024 v2024.06.06
This app is very slow to start and has stability issues. A recent update via the app store gave an error, and the app would no longer start up! I needed to delete the app (therefore losing all the downloaded data) and then reinstall the app and redownload the data. During the data download another error so I needed to delete the file and download the data yet again. This all via expensive mobile data because I am on a campsite without WiFi.
★★★★ Neil 5/24/2024
App does not work too well even if you have paid your subscriptions.
★★★★ Anne Heitman 4/16/2024 v2024.04.15
Cannot search Only country showing is italy. Cannot change notification setting either. Not good at all.
★★★★ Jon T 4/15/2024 v2024.03.27
Hopeless not fit for purpose,unable to search without downloading a country package, which is not always practical if you do not have WiFi. Search is poor and slow. When trying to book, transfers to another site with the message " Sorry to inform you your selected stay is no longer available " Waste of money paying for the app. The only saving grace is that it is not that expensive.
★★★★ Keith Mann 4/3/2024 v2024.03.27
If it worked properly I'd be happy
★★★★ Richard Hewitt 3/23/2024 v2024.03.04
Shocker. Slow, search appalling. Why do ACSI have three apps all overlapping and charging separately??
★★★★ Martin Thompson 2/29/2024 v2024.01.18
Poor as paid subscription and cannot use app to find sites,says I need subscription
★★★★ Mr TJ 2/1/2024 v2024.01.18
Very poor from acsi downloaded this and paid 8 pounds for year subscription finding out after it's the wrong app and needed to download another app to retrieve my digital acsi card. Piss take
★★★★ Linda Duncan 1/22/2024 v2024.01.18
I have subscribed to 3 months in this app but cannot get it show show me sites anywhere other than Italy. I much preferred the book and ACSI card
★★★★ Klaas Jan T 1/21/2024
How I long for the time when the software was released annually on DVD. This app is a tragedy!
★★★★ Tom Bolton 1/2/2024 v2023.12.22
this company is fraudulent you don't get anything for your money
★★★★ Duncan Bass 9/15/2023 v2023.09.14
Awful, in France looking for somewhere to stay, no help at all, paid for card now App needs subscription too before i can use anything, binned it will not be using Acsi again 😕
★★★★ Malcolm Droy 9/15/2023 v2023.09.14
It keeps loosing the data on France and Spain. Sick of downloading again and again.
★★★★ peter steggall 8/19/2023 v2022.12.07
like wading through treacle. can't work out what I've paid for told valid till dec23 can't access ste map without subscription.
★★★★ Gordon Graham 8/16/2023 v2023.08.09
Lost all data and subscriptions, purchased subscription 3 months ago, opened app this morning to have no data in maps and asking for money to subscribe AGAIN!!! even though giving me access to Italy data which I never downloaded in first place, get this sorted out
★★★★ Beverley Pink 7/28/2023 v2023.07.11
Rubbish, does not work/filter properly or corollate with the book. Also, not able to book and get the discount rate in the book when using the Book Now option!
★★★★ Ni Tan 7/6/2023 v2023.07.04
Since latest update it doesn't work at all!!!!! I have it on two devices one Android 8 the other Android 10. You forced the update and now after the usual slow startup I just get a blank screen on both devices. I am on holiday and I'm lost without the app for which I have paid for all the data. This is not good enough!! Nigel
★★★★ Stephen Kelly 6/19/2023 v2023.06.15
Takes for ever to load
★★★★ Doc X 5/21/2023 v2023.04.17
Absolutely useless. Seriously. Paid version. Does not return any search results, requires to download packages that are already installed. Stuck in limbo. Please tell your software developer to get a new job. Thank you!
★★★★ Joseph Hoquet 5/18/2023 v2023.04.17
Terrible. You pay and get nothing. Customer service is busy they say so wait...
★★★★ Andy Magin 4/25/2023 v2023.03.28
Terrible app, don't waste your money. I will be asking for a refund. We are touring France, so thought this would be useful to locate and book campsites. It's not. In fact, it's absolutely useless. Further, it's completely crashed my phone three times now, so have stopped using it altogether. I will be requesting a full refund. DO NOT WASTE MONEY BUYING THIS. In my experience, it doesn't work. UPDATE ACSI responded and said for me to contact Google for a refund. Google said not their problem
★★★★ Mustafa Deniz Kızılcabölük 4/4/2023 v2023.03.28
Email service is not working
★★★★ D D 3/5/2023 v2023.01.12
Abysmal, third year in a row and it is still as crumbly as ever. In Spain And app has stopped working, log in and it keeps telling to buy, buy, buy. I've paid but I can't get back in. I want to move on but says I need to buy what I've alreday paid for. 3 years and still same problems. edit: Followed your online advice, doesn't work (several times) have you tried it yourself. How about a refund for "not fit for purpose"?
★★★★ E. Heather MacKenzie 3/5/2023 v2023.01.12
Not suited to our needs - cumbersome & sites expensive
★★★★ David McCracken 2/12/2023 v2023.01.12
Absolute shambles of an app. Takes 10 minutes to open & is completely non responsive when it finally does open. Don't waste your money on this one
★★★★ Bob Hughes 1/12/2023 v2022.12.22
Purchased for Oct 22 trip which was OK now they have taken for 2023 even though I cancelled saying I did not cancel in time which was impossible. Contact is not in English. So the minimum is 2 years I'm told, so if as in my case I went once in a motor home for a few weeks and used it only once or twice in that period saving €2 it is expensive/very poor value for money. Just use area de servicios para autocaravanas in Spain. I feel ripped off. BE AWARE OF SMALL PRINT. Used for 2 weeks only
