Fantastic no-frills app

Pebblar is a great no-frills app for travel planning. It calculates mileage between stops, lets you pick your method of travel, input hotels, dining, and points of interest from a database (and I didn’t run across anything that WASN’T in the database). Has a great expenses breakdown chart feature. You can download all your trip data in case you lose mobile service while on your trip. And you can purchase a one-time trip so you don’t have to pay for an expensive yearly subscription like with other travel apps — this is great if you only travel once a year like I do. There is also a companion web app. My favorite feature on the web app is the “print” function, which sounds odd, but it spits out a PDF containing everything under the sun! Maps, daily routes, daily lists, overall itineraries… so great. Developer is extremely responsive to questions and feedback. I’m very glad I found this app for planning my summer road trip.

Must have travel app!

I have planned my last two international trips using Pebblar and have been thoroughly impressed. I will never plan another trip without Pebblar and will certainly never go back to using Google map stars again! The app is under continuous improvements and the dev team were super helpful to get me back on the go. The option to collaborate is another great feature to help plan your next trip with coworkers and friends alike. Do yourself a favor and try Pebblar!

Awesome but could use improvement

This app and the desktop version are awesome overall however a few things could be majorly improved. On the desktop app, there is no option to sort your big list of activities that show up on the left side of the screen for each city. It would be nice if you could sort by date, or type of activity (I.e food vs attraction). It would also be nice if there were more options to filter the map, again based on type of activity, I.e. all the restaurants saved. You can assign color labels but there’s nothing then that you can do interactively with these labels other than see them pop up on your map. It’s also not easy to shuffle around your itinerary, I.e. if I want to move all my June 4th activities to June 5th, I have to individually click a new date for each activity on the left side panel, which is especially difficult because, again, you cannot sort this panel by date.

Still overall highly recommend but needs lots of improvement!

Developer Response ,

Hi there! Thank you for your feedback! Both the sort function and extra map filters are currently being developed and hopefully we will get them to you soon!
