I lile this app, although haven't used it much. It's a bit like Letterboxd for trips. One thing I'd really like is the option to add countries visited in the past without all the faffy details and dates... Like I know I went to Scotland, Florida, Majorca as a kid, etc, and various countries on different cruises, so I want to 'tick' that I've been to those countries, but I have no idea when it was! Just let me add that I've visited a country, without adding loads of trip details.

Like the app but the distances seem a little less than the actual distances travelled. This may be associated with a weak GPS signal or, perhaps, my phone settings as it has been difficult to locate myself on the map at times. It's nice to be able to send messages in reply to questions and comments and generally good for keeping in touch.

I've wanted something like this for ages so thank you for creating! It's great for sharing travels with family back home, allowing them to flick through pics at their own convenience and see where we are rather than being inundated by messages at unsocial hours. But it's also a handy app to look back on trips, as I find it much easier using a map for this. Super easy to upload and edit from multiple devices too. Would recommend!
