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.

A family member showed me this app just as were starting a cross country trip. I wanted to be able to share pictures and blog privately, and with some family and friends who don't use social media. PolarSteps worked out perfectly - it's super easy to use and share. I was able to share the link so no install was necessary and everyone enjoyed following our trip. Customer support was also excellent - there was an issue with the link not working, I sent a message to support and it was resolved

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.
