I love that Polar Steps maps out our routes and gives us our exact location. I am able to journal and match pictures as we go. When I am busy, I can go back, journal, and add more pictures. I purchased a photo album from our first trip together, and it is simply magical! The quality of the photo album is superb!

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.

Removed one star since the last update: the addition of stories is less easy to use for the grandparents and inconvenient for everyone else. The way the pictures are shown now crops them unless you click on them, reducing quality. The way you now have to select which mode of transportation you used for different parts of the trip is buggy. It should either allow us to select exactly which part of the trip or go back to the previous edition, because it groups them wrong.
