Amazing app! Love tracking and sharing my trip. A couple bugs in the planning portion where scheduled dates for a step gets changed and not even remotely close to the original selected dates. Even some planned steps get dates added which makes it a pain if to cleanup. Feature request to share trip publicly for steps you have saved in an active trip but only show current and planned location to followers. Right now you have to finish a trip for this.

This app is fantastic. The locating details are so precise. It's super easy to use, even for non-tech people like me. It's way more accurate than my Garmin satellite 🛰️ tracking device. It's also easy to create a chapter from a past trip. We can't wait to produce a book from our motorcycle trip around the world 🌍.

I lile this app, although haven't used it much. It's a bit like Letterboxd for trips. One thing I'd really like is the option to add countries visited in the past without all the faffy details and dates... Like I know I went to Scotland, Florida, Majorca as a kid, etc, and various countries on different cruises, so I want to 'tick' that I've been to those countries, but I have no idea when it was! Just let me add that I've visited a country, without adding loads of trip details.
