Camping Companion for Android
The app features a checklist where you can add your own items, a camping light, camping trip and event diary and you can search campsites, check for the local gas station for fuel, it will even take your photos for you as well.
Camping Companion has now been updated to include directions to campsites and many other points of interest at the touch of a button. The Take Me There button will show you the way via Google Maps, it will even work out the cost for you.
NOTE: If using for the first time, please make sure your GPS is on, so it can pick up the campsites and other search's, if you get a blank screen please turn on your GPS. I have increased the search area recently after feedback from users.
I love camping myself I have tried to add items that will help other campers and the app is an on going project, so much more will be added with feedback from customers via our Facebook page.
Won't locate anything
The campsite search feature doesn't seem to work on my lg optimus l9. Could it be that there are no campsites in the area? I can't tell, would be even better if it gave me some sort of error message so I could investigate further, otherwise, I love the concept, everything else working and if the campsites feature worked I would use it everyday! Thanks
Just tells you things that are near you
Nexus 7 flo. Calendar, Photo, Check list, are the only things that are not blank. Flashlight crashes app. Good idea not enough debugging, this is beta software and should be listed as such.
Expected a list of camp sites, got a blank screen and advertisements
No purchases needed. Info all there. Ta :-)
Doesn't even load. Great idea but just not working
I live in an awesome area for camping in Colorado and would like to try out some new places. How do I search for an awesome place in my state or in another state.
Another app to help you spend money
Implementation leaves much to be desired. I think it would be very nice to be able to set distance search parameters. Also, it should tell you when it finds nothing nearby instead of having a blank screen. If I could set distance and price criteria when searching for a camp site, this would be extremely handy.
No work
This is just an interface to populate your Google Calendar and Map Places for Google Map searching. It does not even list a link to the entries it makes. When camping, you don't always have access to cell service, so it is not useful while camping. To make this a true camping App, it needs it's own database storage on the device that keeps track of EventsTrips as well as ability to store information about the camping trip for history if you want to remember which trip you'd like to repeat in the future.
