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.

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.

I've been using Polarsteps for quite a few years now and even got the early adopter sticker. With my new phone, I have better tracking, but there are still a lot of bogus lines with nonexistent connections. Someone told me it's possible to delete these, but I don't have the patience to figure it out. Despite that, I get a lot of positive feedback when sharing my travels with non-Polarsteps users. It's great that they can subscribe, but would be nice if they can give feedback without registration
