This is the best travel app out there. I used this app on a class trip to D.C., and it really does it all. You can create a blog in minutes, your followers can track your location, and the guides within the app are super helpful. This is really a must-have for regular, adventurous travelers who want to remember their trips. My complaint is that I ordered a travel book as a gift (which was 66 euros) and it never came. P.S. The book did come just a few weeks late.

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.

Polarsteps has definitely changed the way that I enjoy my travels. All my memories are at the tip of my fingers and allows my family and friends to "travel" with me. It tracks my movements quite accurately. At the end of the day I upload my pictures and write a short synopsis of my day for posterity. The app is extremely user-friendly and sharing the link allows my contacts to open it even without having to intall the app. I have used it a lot in the last 4 year since I travel about 6 mo/year.
