Needs an iPad app

This is a great app, but so frustrating that we can’t view on an iPad. When will you have this option included?

I went on an unexpected cross country drive, decided to track it somehow and ended up with this. I love everything about it so far. Using it to track hikes and day trips now. Was using it very casually, but I’m about to start using it heavy duty android Will update my review of things change.
Fantastic, just one thing...

This app has a fantastic user interface and is perfect for logging and recording your travels, the only thing that I would change is that there is only one method of exporting your trips (besides just downloading the raw data): the print book copy. I would absolutely love if we could have a pdf copy of the book, even if it only came along with the printed copy or something else, but that would be absolutely fantastic and this missing feature is the only problem so far.
Meh

Tracks your route decently, as long as you remember to set location to “always allow.” Apple has a tendency to re-ask for permission at this setting and may revoke it without you knowing. Design of UI is fine but nothing special. Functionality of UI is problematic. Adding photos and steps is more frustrating than anything, as the app automatically decides to add mystery flights and teleportations to your route that you can’t edit or delete. This really defeats the purpose of what the app is intended to do. Will try competitors. Update to developer response: Although not having a good solve for the connectivity issue is a problem in and of itself (i.e. giving the user the ability to specify flight vs car or other modes of transportation), I’m actually talking about a bug that I encountered when pulling in photos and adding steps along my route. That’s when the app added multiple flights and nonsensical jumps in the route, and sometimes wouldn’t even allow me to pull in photos at a route marker location. I’m not sure, but perhaps the app is pulling in time stamp information or GPS information from the photos and that’s what’s throwing the route tracker off? In any case, this isn’t a connectivity issue as much as it’s a design choice or flaw. Again, if the app can’t do it’s main function well (or even decently), what’s the point?
Great App and Great Customer Service!

I love this App. Very easy to use and I like that you can set the privacy for private friends you invite to follow you or public. I also like how it automatically tracks where you are automatically. Great to be able to look back at my trip notes and pictures. I just tried using their offer to make a photo book of my trip. The book turned out great and arrived quickly. Very cool that it summarizes your trip on the first page with a picture map of your full trip and shows a trip summary - #miles travelled, #days, #steps, #photos, furthest point from home, #countries travelled. Then each page of pictures shows date, weather temperature, and altitude for that days post. I highly recommend it. Also, I want to give a shout out to Steffany who personally answered every single email question I wrote to support and stuck with me to answer my questions in full detail. Great customer service!! Thank you for such a useful App!!
Love it!
