First-time user for a bucket list trip. I intended to try it out at home before leaving, but I didn't make the time. Good thing the app is user-friendly. A complete no-brainer. I'll never go anywhere,even domestically, without it. What a way to preserve all your memories of a place on the fly! I even took notes as our guides spoke. The GPS location and suggestions for grouping your photos really make a huge difference. I'm now working on putting together our travel book. Excellent!

The best travel app I've ever used. Been on it for about a year because I wanted a private way to show friends and family my travels. Great functions, free, no ads, I haven't hundreds of steps and photos saved here from over a year ago. My only thing I'd like to see is a better photo book functionality. Very minor gripe imo.

Amazing app! Love tracking and sharing my trip. A couple bugs in the planning portion where scheduled dates for a step gets changed and not even remotely close to the original selected dates. Even some planned steps get dates added which makes it a pain if to cleanup. Feature request to share trip publicly for steps you have saved in an active trip but only show current and planned location to followers. Right now you have to finish a trip for this.
