This app does what we need - let's us share updates with selected family, so they know where we are while traveling. It also kind of does what we want, which is to let us journal about our travel, and attach pictures, so we have a record of where we've been. I say kind of because the mechanism for plotting out our route seems to be thrown by things like taking any kind of transportation other than car or plane to go somewhere. Our first leg was a cruise - it tried to add multiple stops.

This is a great app for tracking travel and keeping a travel diary. A few things that would make it better: captions on photos, preserve local time for steps, make it easier to edit waypoints. I use this to share my travels with friends, and an interesting experience occurred when I traveled to Norway and a friend was in Peru at the same time. Our travel stories intersected in an unexpected way! Would never have realized it without this app!

Absolutely tedious. Someone recommended an app called Been but it got awful reviews on Android so I checked this one out instead. They're not really at all similar. This app is so tedious to input your locations of travel. It insists on you compiling your entire trio and adds in travel lines from point to point. Also there doesn't seem to be a way to just have one map up that shows all the places you've traveled, but instead you have to open each trip. The app lacks intuitiveness.
