ACSI Campsite Guide CD

IMHO the ap is not very user friendly and requires the purchase of a Smartphone or a tablet so another added expense.  In addition, if there is no wifi or internet signal, the app will not function so is as useless as a wet paper bag!  Luckily we have the 2016 DVD so hopefully we will not have too much of an issue.

The ACSI app does not show prices etc as it shows sites not even on the ACSI list however the Campingcard app shows prices of ACSI sites however both are not very user friendly.

Granted if you don't have an android, or iOS tablet or phone it is not as much use, but David Klyne mentioned it ran on his windows 10 desktop. However, it does work offline, although the download does use a fair bit of memory. If offline you just need to tell it where you are, unless you have a GPS signal. As to prices, I am only interested in the off season discount price and it shows what bands each site falls into, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19 euros, with the period these prices are active. I particularly like that you can mark a site as favourite. So when researching an area you can do this to any sites that are of particular interest. Then if the first you pull up at is not what you expected, you can quickly check the next closest that you have looked at.

The App works perfectly fine in Windows 10. It is very useful having sites not included in the ACSI discount scheme as it gives you much more choice. However I am sure you can filter them out. I also have it on my Smart Phone for when I an out and about in the motorhome.

SteveL, the DVD was useful as it lists thousands of sites, not just the discounted ones. We have found it useful as there is more information and photos. The is the facility to filter sites only in the discount scheme, or sites open all year etc. You can use the map to select just the country and area you are visiting it will then bring up each and every site in that area. If you then wish, it will route plan for you too. I have it loaded on my laptop and quite often pick a site while we are on the move. Apps just don't do it for me.

Pleas note. The App doesn't work on Hudl 2. I now have a Samsung Tablet and it's fine

Surfer,

I am surprised the App for all the campsites that replaced the CD would allow you to download the countries you wanted and use it offline. I think you can also use the filters and access the ACSI camping card sites only and you would know what their max price was if nothing else. I seem to recall Peedee saying as much when he tested that App when it first came out a couple of years ago. I think the only benefit of the CD over the App was that on the CD you had up to 5 photos, I am not sure how many you get on that App but the CC App only has 2.

I use the camping card App on my phone and tablet  both offline and think it is fantastic. I only look at the books now to remove the discount card. The CD meant you had to carry and crank up the laptop but I still use my 2013 CD when planning general directions because it is a much bigger screen on the laptop.

We use the App all the while and find it really great. We never use the book. It works off line, on both tablet and phone. Its quick and easy to use and is updated throughout the year, including the reviews.  If you are on online you can use the link to go straight to the campsite's own website for further info.

Canyou download the app to your tablet and also your phone without paying extra?

Bearing in mind I only have the CC App (the discounted sites only) the answer is yes, I have it on both machines with only one payment which is now taken on subscription.

I have no knowledge if this is the same with the ACSI App that replaced their CD

Regards, Roy

I have the CC App on subscription but also bought the ACSI app for certain countries as its so cheap. Yes get both on Iphone and Ipad. Really useful as all offline so can get info immediately its needed.
