Gronze App Translation

I've been trying to figure out how to use the Gronze app and as a first step I need to translate into English - I searched topics on the Forum, thought I found what I was looking for, and Yay! I was able to do it on my laptop, but can't figure it out for the app on my iPhone. I posted a query to the thread, but the thread was a year or two old and so far no responses, so I thought I'd ask here again.

I am moderately computer literate, but not so very - I'm pretty sure I'll need Gronze for the Gebennensis, maybe not so much for the Podiensis as Buen Camino app has Le Puy en Velay route. And, as I understand it, it's best to download the maps? I think I know how to do that, but then don't know where to find them on my phone...

Any technical assistance is appreciated, or maybe there's a YouTube or something I should watch?

Thanks in advance!

Selecting +INFO on the bottom right brings you to the corresponding Gronze page in your browser, which your browser can automatically translate.

(This works for me on my Android phone with the Chrome browser.)
 
Thanks for replying - I have Apple iPhone, when I open the Gronze App, I see a map with the routes, but am not seeing anything like +INFO to select. There's a symbol at the top that brings down a menu (in Spanish, of course), but I don't see something to translate. When I click on the route, it does offer some info on La Via Gebennensis, with a +INFO, but when I click on that, it takes me to Gronze.com and I'm still not seeing how to get to translation in English....

For the Gronze Maps app on iPhone and iPad:

There is no way to have the Spanish text in the app itself translated into English.​
When you click on a Camino on the map or on an albergue on the map, a window opens with text in Spanish and +Info to select. Tap on +Info and you leave the Gronze Maps app and enter the Gronze website. You are now in Safari.​
In Safari, look for AA (it's near or next to the lock icon and the text gronze.com). Tap on it: a window opens where you can chose the option Translate Website. Then select English.
This will also work in Safari on Apple desktops and Apple laptops. You don't need Chrome.

I simply use the Gronze website, not the app. (You do need data for the internet.) I use offline maps from other apps.
The Gronze Map app also needs a data connection to work.

Actualmente, Gronze Maps solo funciona con conexión a Internet. Si temporalmente falla la conexión, se indicará con un mensaje "Sin Red" hasta que vuelva a estar disponible.

Currently, Gronze Maps only works with an internet connection. If the connection temporarily fails, a "No Network" message will be indicated until it is available again.

 
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).
