Ratings and reviews

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.

I like this app! I found this app at an IHOP! I overheard a couple speaking French in another seating booth. I welcomed them and introduced myself. They showed me their trip on Polarsteps and what the app did, and I was hooked. We all carry our phones wherever we go and snap gobs of photos. This app allows you to associate the photos you take to that trip along with their locations. Have you ever had someone try to show you a photo on their phone? You wait while they scroll endlessly, right?

This is an amazing app, and I highly encourage everyone to get it for their next experience. I went on a 3 month long sabbatical, and instead of individually updating all of my family and friends, I sent all of them the link to my polarsteps trip to follow along. Everyone loved it. One feature I want is to be able to toggle between local time for the trip and current location when reading and when adding new steps.
