Ratings and Reviews
AMAZING
I absolutely love this app so far and you can tell because i NEVER write reviews for apps. I've been using a page on Notion to organize all my memories and photos, and while notion is amazing, this is so much better for keeping track of everything in my life i have been lucky enough to experience in my adventures and daily life. Beyond just traveling, which I unfortunately haven't been able to do much of yet, it is just so great for organizing my life.
I have three big suggestions for improving the app, however. The first is that I really wish there was a gallery view option for the photos in each step. I really dislike that i have to scroll through all of the photos to see a specific photo or video i uploaded, and i think adding a option to see a gallery view of the photos would be great for instant access to all the memories. Additionally, I think it would be amazing if you could "collaborate" with others on the app for trips. I'm planning a trip with my friend to mexico soon, and it would be nice if there was an option to tag others or contribute to a shared trip. Finally, while i love the flags concept, I do think it would be a cherry on top to have a "digital passport" kinda thing, where you can flip through a (fake) passport of all your countries with their stamps and have them all in one place given that physical passports do expire eventually. Besides these, I love this app so far and i can't wait to keep using it!

Amazing Tracker
I love this app. Polarsteps easily tracks stops on roadtrips and flights - the trip tracker is awesome. Also love the profile page, especially the overall map view that has the red dots to show all trip stops - the only thing I’d want to see improved would be being able to see that map up close. Like if you could tap on the overall trip map behind the profile photo so you could see top level how many spots someone has been. That map is one of the coolest features but it’s kinda hidden behind the profile photo and other UI elements on the top half of that page. Even if you just repeat that map element at the bottom of the profile, so keep it up top behind the profile photo (because it’s great to see as the first thing), but then as a user scrolls down the profile through all the stats, you get to that map again - but here you can zoom in and actually see all the Stop Dots without any UI blocking it - that would be awesome!
Really love your app. Can tell it’s designed and built by avid travelers!
Cannot get it to work for current trip!
I’ve been traveling for a month and found out about this from a fellow traveler. It’s brilliant in concept but I cannot get it to track my current trip. It synced all of my trips from 7 years ago from my photos with all gps location details, and attached photos to those locations. But the point of me using it is for my current trip and it is just a blank slat. Does not import my photos, location, or dates at all. I’ve done everything I can think of, went into a deep dive in my iOS settings, went through the trip settings, my account settings, read through pretty much the ENTIRE help center, scoured Reddit, updated my phone, deleted my account and reinstalled it, restarted my phone etc and NOTHING WORKS!! It wants me to add everything manually down to the date I flew and the location I flew into and then the next place I stayed etc but at no point does it ever finally pick up in syncing to fill the info in. I ended the trips, restarted the trip, every thing I can possibly think of and NOTHING works. What is the point in using this for your friends and family to track your travels if it only syncs trip details after you arrive back home?!?! The only trips it syncs are ones where I’ve ended AND flown back to my home location. Otherwise this stupid thing is WORTHLESS and you might as well just post on social media because it will be endlessly less frustrating!!!
