It's an excellent app! Functionality is perfect... I really like that I finally can have my travel diary, photos and even map locations in one place. Edit: It DESPERATELY needs an option to only upload over WiFi or to not automatically sync!! I've accidentally used loads of data because I didn't realise it just starts uploading as soon as I'm connected.

Really great idea for an app - basically combining social media stories and travel blogs, making it easy to look back on memories from your travels. The globe with the steps marked is a great way to visualize it as well. But the app can be a bit slow at times when loading steps, and especially videos.

it's a good app but not as good as people describe. First there is no way to input transportation for planification (something similar to the add lodging section to have the time, attach the booking, price etc) there is no way to plan precisely what you want to do for each step of the travel. you can only add notes... There should be a dedicated section for each activity you plan during each step of the trip. it would also be nice to be able to track spendings. you can't edit on the computer
