I am looking for an easy app or source for sharing writing and photos / videos for family and friends to see live while I am on the Camino. Easy to use post content using my I phone. Ideas?

Consider PolarSteps. It does what you are seeking.

Hope this helps,

Get a Spanish mobil number + data while on the Camino
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
I like Find Penguins, similar to Polarsteps. Plus you can print a photo book after.

Tom, did you print a photo/journal book based on your Camino? I’m trying to figure out what the cost for shipping is - that may be my deciding factor on what app I use. TIA
 
Sorry, I should be more precise: I shipping is free worldwide but there may be tax charged on the purchase. Did you have to pay tax or not? Thanks.

I do not have or use the Polar Steps app. My recommendation was based on the advice of others.

I do take a lot of photos on my iPhone when on Camino. These are automatically backed up to the iCloud. If I need to take notes as memory joggers, I use the Notes app, and create titles by date then location. E.g: 041024 - Ponferrada. These titles can be sorted by date and arranged into a separate folder on my iPhone.

The cost for this is essentially zero, and the added weight is also zero.

Sorry for any misunderstanding. Hope this explanation helps.

I haven't used the penguins but really like Polar steps, it's great to see the visualisation of where you have walked from. Last year I did get a printed book of my Invierno but it gets €€€ so probably won't for this much longer camino Francés - you can have a look at my latest camino here for example

Polarsteps

Polarsteps is the personal travel log in your pocket.

I should add though that the print quality of the book was really fabulous, it's a lovely record of what was a personally important camino.
 
Best lightweight pocket guides
Ideal pocket guides for during and after your Camino. Each weighs just 40g (1.4 oz).
The book I had made with Find Penguins was also great. It cost about $120 Canadian and arrived very quickly. I'm not sure how many pages, but it is almost 4 cm thick. The book captured things I wouldn't have on my own, such as temperature, elevation, all the commentary I had made as well as the comments of my followers. Wonderful keepsake, and so easy.
 
Thank you!
