Apps for the Vía de la Plata Route
Starting in the southern city of Sevilla, the Vía de la Plata route runs nearly straight to the north.
At Granja de Moreruela, you can continue heading north to join the Camino Francés in Astorga—or turn west on a route that goes through Ourense on the way to Santiago de Compostela.
Camino Ninja App
Made by a Camino pilgrim.
(Note: this app works best once you’re on the Camino and using your location)

Camino Primitivo
Vía de la Plata

Wisely + The Vía de la Plata
Google Play Store
Note: reviews are based on the iPhone app.
Covers the Vía de la Plata from Sevilla to Santiago de Compostela — and includes the connection to the Camino Francés in Astorga.
Elegant design. Easy navigation. Almost entirely offline capable. (And tells you where to get wifi connections along the route to get updates)

Vía de la Plata PREMIUM
Google Play Store
Note: reviews are based on the iPhone app
This app starts the route in Seville and goes to Astorga, a town on the Camino Francés (instead of heading west from Granja de Moreruela, a town located south of Astorga - see his Sanabrés Way app here for that option).
You can then continue west to Santiago de Compostela on the Camino Francés (note: this app does not cover that stretch. This one does.)
There is a BASIC (free) version, but you'll only get accommodations for a couple of stages.
This PREMIUM version provides information you'll need for the entire route, including accommodation options.
I've listed the Premium version, so you won't need to do two separate downloads (at this writing you cannot upgrade within the BASIC app itself).
Highlight: This app also has information specifically for cyclists.
The app developer has made other Camino apps:
But again, only the PREMIUM versions of these apps provide information to cover the entire route.
