Camino Ninja App

The app was very helpful for planning our pilgrimage. We were easily able to determine the town we wanted to walk to and where to stay. Overall I recommend the app. Some areas of improvement, the mileage seemed to start from the center of town you started in to the center of town you ended in, I would have also liked the distance from albergue to albergue. It would have been more useful data during planning. Moving through the app could be clunky, if I wanted to see the elevation I had to back out of the map to open it. Rather than showing the current day on top you had to scroll down to it each time you opened the app. The pricing for a nights stay at the different albergues was outdated.

I just came back from walking the Camino, and I want to share how truly useful this app was for me. I was traveling alone, and it saved me from getting lost several times, helping me find my way back to the right path. It also helped me plan my hostels and decide how far I wanted to walk each day. I met two ladies who were also walking, and I taught them how to use the app — they still keep in touch with me and often say how thankful they are that I introduced it to them. I’m truly grateful to the person who developed this app and made it free for all of us. I hope the universe rewards you in the same generous way.

Am a bit more than halfway through walking the Caminho Portugues da Costa and this has been basically the only app I have used to plan my journey, get ideas for hostels to stay at along the way, etc. Has been absolutely invaluable and provided all of the information I need, including a very exact map that provided a couple of alternative routings that take you through more shaded/scenic routes than the official Camino, which has been great especially with a few very hot days of walking so far. However, unsure if the app will continue to be updated as the developer, Andy Max Jensen, tragically passed away while walking the Camino about a month ago. Huge loss for the Camino community, and forever grateful to him for providing such a fantastic, free resource. May he rest.
