Article Collection
Whywhowhywhowhy
I very much enjoy Lonely Planet’s guidebooks. I’ve been buying physical and digital copies for years. I was hoping that instead of buying a new copy for each trip, this app would allow me to view the same content that’s in their books, but in a streamlined app experience. Unfortunately, my expectations have not been met. Instead of the book level of depth and ease, this app is largely a consolidation of Lonely Planet’s articles. Therefore, the content is not as in depth and is more useful for daydreaming about traveling than actually planning for it.

Cuts thru the noise
Deeeeeeeeeeeps
I get overwhelmed by googling for travel recs so have trusted Lonely Planet guides to tell me what to do/see on trips. Glad they have an app now because I don’t want to lug around a book! Can tell this is new with more stuff to build out but enjoying poking around and seeing what they suggest for the destinations on there right now.
Great for on-the-go

Excited to have my trusted LP recs in an app! Have been using the app this week while traveling for inspiration and ideas and it’s been so helpful. Can’t wait to see what new destinations they will release and will definitely use the itinerary feature to plan my next trip.
