Love but want improvements
11/17/2019

I__Care__!!!
I love a lot about this app!But there are some things that I wish were changed...1. I would like more flexibility in organizing photos once they are uploaded in app. I entered about 6 photos, then I realized I missed one... I wanted to upload it when I discovered it was missing... But I discovered I could not move uploaded photo to place it in a time sequence that made sense.... You cannot move photos once photo is taken by camera in app.. nor if you upload from your own photo file... to correct this error I had to delete photos, then re-upload all photos that were deleted and add text again.... this made using app very tedious and unfriendly...At the end of app I just threw in photos because I could not delete the some 200 photos I had added to correct the problem.2. The 2nd improvement I would like to see is the ability to edit photos taken by camera within app... I had a number of pictures that were too dark for the content to be distinguished and iris always nice to be able to crop... I know I could do that on my photo app and then upload photo... that adds lots of steps when you’re trying to go fast...I did love the ability to push a button and have a book in a week... so close in time to the trip that you still enjoy showing book and talking about it... I also liked the fact that some people want to see photos along the way of the trip... There is, however, a learning curve both for the traveler and the viewers....

Close but needs more functionality

Your apps are just what I was looking for but I want them combined and enhanced slightlyI love the subscription ability to archive in Cluster but wish it could create a PDF or document with all of the content not just photos. I love the add a map function in TripCast but wish it was in Cluster. I wish there was an option in TripCast to purchase a PDF instead of a photo book or add add subscription option into TripCast for content download.The issue being sometimes I want an electronic copy of my travel log.Another thought would be to team up with another photo book service that would allow editing of content in the book prior to printing the book. Would love to have photos and maps and text entries all in the book with time to adjust layout before printing. Finally one question, is it really true that I can only use TripCast for travel with USA. If so, that is a deal breaker for this international traveler.

I got the app to study abroad. Overall it’s easy to use and share with friends and family. My only problem with it is that you can do something like a daily album. Instead each picture uploads one at a time to the timeline and needs its own individual caption instead of one for a group. It would also be nice if you could reply to people’s comments. There’s tons of people asking questions about the pictures and updates but no way to answer them. If these two features could be added the app would be 💯Update: took another star away. It’s really annoying how sometimes you will hit post and nothing happens. 20 minutes of typing is gone and no reason why whether it is a normal note or picture caption. This isn’t the first time it’s happened to me. There is no chance to save it either. Would recommend to anyone using it that they paste everything into a notes app on their phone before they try posting and lose it all to this app.

Am using this for my 2nd adventure this year and I really do like the slick way it works.What I HATE is the fact that Tripcast duns (that is, keeps pestering), me and all my contacts to buy a memory book. So, although for my 1st trip about 70% of the people who were invited signed up, only 40% for my 2nd trip signed up—they just do not want to keep getting the emails from TC pestering them! My friends know I am an advanced photographer and they can ask me for a print of a photograph they like: they don’t want a book!!So, developer: TAKE NOTE— build a “Freemium” model: Either (1) it is free for the user and TripCast can pester all recipients mercilessly, OR (2) the user pays US$0.50/recipient for first 50 recipients who sign on, and US$0.25/recipient above 50, AND TripCast DOES NOT pester recipients to buy the GD book!!! In my current case, with 110 invitees, if all had signed on, knowing that they would not be harassed, I would be (happily) paying the developer $25 for the first 50 recipients and $15 for the remaining 60. A total of $40.Under the current model, the developer gets nothing and many recipients of the invitation to follow are not because they are being harassed by “Marlene” from TripCast.My next trip, maybe I’ll just create an email address for the entire 110 list as a “group”.
