Saturday Sept 27 and in the middle of my Camino and the app keeps crashing! FIX please. Update: APP is still crashing in the "Body" stages I can't see anything before Sarria! Fix please! I paid for it, fix it!
it's so slow. I don't think it has additional information compared to the free app. really not worth the small fee
Bought it for the offline maps. I downloaded them. They don't work. Completely useless.
Couldn't get maps to download
Crashes and can't open maps
Extremely annoying that I cannot find this app after downloading it. It is not present in alphabetical order under "Camino" or "wise". The red sea shell icon is not there as well as it appears in the play store. Finally found it under Francis. Pleasevputbthis under the name of the App.
Tried many times to download on a phone with many gigabytes of free space and all failed
Definitely not worth the small cost. I am 19 days into my trek and this app has not helped at all. With no real-time map and navigation features, it is completely worthless. We were disoriented this morning in a town with few Camino symbols. Thankfully, two other trekkers were nearby...they had the Ninja Camino app, and used its real-time mapping feature to quickly get back on track. Important when the distance is long and the weather is hot.
Map fails to load since update very frustrating... ..
Impossible to download maps Impossible to communicate with wise pilgrim Looks to me as though wise pilgrim is finished
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.
Paid for this app, but the map still doesn't work after reporting it at least 4 times. A map fix has supposedly been released, but not working on my new device. Buyer beware.. expected more from a paid app
Always crash and elevation map is always blurry
Off-line maps don't work.
This app is somewhat helpful, but definitely not worth the price. For that price I should be able to plot my route, zoom in and out of the altitude graph, etc. They need to step up their game
Maps don't load on Samsung Galaxy Note 4.
the location doesn't work for android.. thus ive have returned to using Google maps and the albergue list the pilgrims office gave me
Just literally bought this app and was looking on the about portion and the writing is so small I can't even read it.
App crashed when looking at places to sleep. When it didn't crash, it was painfully slow. It's too bad, seems like a great app otherwise
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.
