WHAT THE PRESS ARE SAYING ABOUT POLARSTEPS
“The Polarsteps app replaces your travel journal, making it easier and more beautiful.” - National Geographic
“Polarsteps helps you track and share your journeys in an easy and visually appealing way” - The Next Web
“Polarsteps’ resulting travel log is impressive, and is the source of a severe case of itchy feet in your correspondent.” - TechCrunch
This is every time I saw a beautiful app, so if anyone needs an extraordinary diary for a long year, we can update a very well-structured and clear diary. It's really very beautiful for continuing travellers. Moments creating people. Nowadays, metas are over surveillance, but this provides better privacy; that's also a really liked feature.
Traveller’s must have
anekbhatia
It is one of the very well thought apps. I feel every person who loves to travel and wants a record of it must have this app.1 star less only because i feel that the app is a little slow and hangs a little sometimes.The Idea is perfect but with little improvements it can reach 5 stars
Brilliant way to document your travels, especially long ones
HermanoGeo
Ive not been using it myself for logging my travels but I have been reading posts from a friend’s travel and it’s been a brilliant way to keep up with what they’re up to!
Beautiful app let down by a sad map experience
Ravi Madan
The so is so polished and the interface a lot to work with. The intent and the execution is perfect. The only hitch and the dealbreaker is that the maps is huge letdown. It can’t find popular destinations and points to obscure locations upon search. Oh, I so wish that the maps were a bit more reliable! Would love to revisit and change the rating when the maps work correctly.
