Big update for the start of Summer.
As more and more albergues are adopting rest days of their own, I have improved the notice that appears.  It will not warn you if the albergue is closed today or tomorrow.

One last fix for the filter button.

Big spring update with lots of adjusted pricing, opening hours, images.
Improvements to how the realtime bed availablity is displayed.

Big bug fixes to the map page, and to the filter button. Thanks to all the pilgrims that helped to diagnose this.

Last Winter update.
Minor changes to content, only a few albergues have changed critical information.
Minor bug fixes: outgoing url links have been fixed, and the "WhatsApp Helper" works again!

The first major update of the year, this version includes updated pricing and opening seasons.

Under the hood are several performance changes, with a thorough rewrite of the code to make sure that all devices are working properly.

AND it introduces a new feature which allows pilgrims to inform 'El Sabio, the Wise Pilgrim Bot' about the status of albergues, so you can help your fellow pilgrims to know what albergues are full.

Big update in anticipation of the upcoming year.
Commenting fixed, thank you everyone for submitting bug reports, it was invaluable to getting this fixed.

Improved navigation and updated content, alongside some bug fixes.

MAJOR BUG FIX

Minor bug fixes, including a few albergues which did not appear on the map view.

This update does two things at the same time.
It introduces the ability to send updates 'Over the air' meaning that if there is a change in telephone number, or price, or opening hours of your accommodation I can get them to you faster.  The is important at the moment since the hiking season is beginning and many albergues are making last minute changes.
New routes will still be delivered via app store updates.
-and-
It eliminates a minor bug that annoyed me greatly.

Everything else remains as awesome as always.

New feature shows whether an albergue is CURRENTLY open, closed, or about to open/close. Handy for pilgrims walking in the shoulder season and winter.

Updated content.
Bug fixes here and there.

This release introduces a dark mode for lights out albergue users.  And it greatly cleans up the UX to make more content more visible.
There are a few new photos from a recent camino, and minor changes to prices and availability.

Thank you everyone for all of the comments you leave within the app!

Content Update:  Updated opened/closed, as well as prices.

Better maps: Now with the option to turn off map markers and a better selector for map types.

Feature Update: Introducing the WhatsApp Message Maker:  A simple tool to help you initiate a conversation with the albergue or hotel owner to check for availability and request a reservation.  It automatically translates what you need into a short request, and from their you can finish the deal directly with the property owner.

Bug fix: A bug crept into the last version, causing the app to crash when you tried to search the albergue directory or leave a comment. That bug is no more!

Spring 2021 Update II

Big Changes: 
A newly redesigned elevation map brings a better visualisation of your location. It also add the ability to show your current position!
An updated GPS track, doublechecked in May of 2021. It eliminates variants no longer walkable, and adds one more that is.
More photos, to help you get a feel of the place.

2021 SPRING UPDATE

I have undone some of the changes made during last Spring's pandemic update. Rather than maintain an evershifting list of openings and closings, I have included all accommodation that have not been confirmed as permanently closed. There are some new albergues, and several more have changed ownership.

Some minor stuff too:
Better visibility of private accommodation prices.
Updated content.

This update from Apple will improve the functionality of this app. No new features are included.

More information, updated layout, and a few language fixes:

Some new albergues have been added, and a few recently closed ones have been removed.
Additional information about the albergues, such as websites and Facebook pages have been added.
The layout has been revised to allow for quickly calling an Albergue, or sending them an email. The map markers have also been improved (an ongoing process) and now show albergue and bar information at a glance, as well as the distance to Santiago.  The markers also vanish at the widest zoom level to allow for a better overview of the route.
