Used it a couple of times now both to track our travels and to follow family and friends. Really easy to use, and a great way to enjoying the journey from your armchair.
★★★★★Jacob Spurrell· Jul 24, 2026
A good way to share travel photos while mapping out where you have been.
★★☆☆☆Matthew Simmons· Aug 10, 2026
There is a huge flaw in the app where you and your friends can't have trips that are together and then separate. The only way would be to segment each point of my trip and then my friends would have to do the same. There are plenty of times when travelers will travel together for short times and then go their own way. It's a very pretty app, but the buddy feature is almost completely unusable.
★★☆☆☆Adriel Zalez· Jul 26, 2026
Cool app, but lacks A LOT of location data. I try and add in minor details like visiting "United States Capitol" and it doesn't even appear in the results or any of the national museums.
