I lile this app, although haven't used it much. It's a bit like Letterboxd for trips. One thing I'd really like is the option to add countries visited in the past without all the faffy details and dates... Like I know I went to Scotland, Florida, Majorca as a kid, etc, and various countries on different cruises, so I want to 'tick' that I've been to those countries, but I have no idea when it was! Just let me add that I've visited a country, without adding loads of trip details.

It's a nice app, but unstable and it makes errors you can't correct. Examples: - showed twice that I took a plane which was incorrect. - shows me in a city I was 3 days ago. Now I 'm 200 miles away. It will not let you correct these errors. I also needed to reinstall the app once or twice, because it would not let me login, but I consider this minor.

Wonderful app for tracking and memories of your trips. You can share or add members to track it. I have a few suggestions which will make this app a perfect travel/trip app according to me: 1) Add expense tracking ( with photos, itinerary and notes, expenses will make it a whole especially because all of it will be in one place). 2) Add trip start and end time ( will give a better reflect in total sum of everythingness to know your total travel time & especially per trip will be nice). :) 👍
