Ratings and reviews

I used Polar Steps to document my 2 month long successful quest to become the first female seaplane pilot to circumnavigate mainland Australia. I encountered a few glitches (in early 2024) editing the track both on iphone & Windows laptop, but they might be fixed now. My brother, who is a pilot is now using it. While I haven't purchased any photo books, I love that they are possible. I also like that viewers don't have to download anything or login unless they want to comment or follow.

I've tried a couple different journaling apps now that I've retired and have been traveling. I did not find any as good as PolarSteps. Easy to use and so versatile, journal my thoughts and impressions, photos, videos, ability to attach website, and the sharing feature for my family & friends back home to track and enjoy my adventure as I go. def a 5 star experience

It is really easy to use, both before and during a trip. While traveling, you can track your current location and add steps ("posting" and logging activities), but this may drain a bit of battery. You can turn frequency up and down as needed. It would be nice to hide specific sections for certain audiences. Specifically, I want to share my trip publicly, but I have my hotel information saved, which I don't want released. I would also like for everyone to be able to link locations to each step.
