Travel Journal & Trip Tracker Reviews

Made me re-love writing

TriniGunner

The art style and the overall presentation of this app made me really appreciate being able to put thought to forum. I have always enjoyed writing but I fell out of practice a bit as some of my passions died to some necessities of life. The combination of writing and traveling, two things which every person should strive to do if within their financial ability, made me rediscover the wonder of writing. I am grateful.

Great service

I recently began using Journo for my travel journaling (which I’ve been doing for the past 40 years of traveling). I previously used another journaling app (no longer supported); Journo is a significant upgrade. The app is user friendly although it could use some improvements. I use a Belkin keyboard on my iPad which only works in landscape format while Journo only supports portrait format. This means I have to turn sideways to read what I am entering. The developers have assured me that landscape format will be coming soon. I have had several other questions about the app which have been answered promptly and personally; no referral to a FAQ or other genetic solution. When they add landscape format I will upgrade them to 5 stars.

AWESOME

This is an awesome app better than any other journaling app I’ve gotten I just wish the app would work when I don’t have internet it won’t load but overall everything else is so cool

Exactly what I’ve been needing!

Love this app! I’ve always wanted a place to put photos and travel journal entries in one place, so my memories are cohesive. The app is easy to use and can even be published for all to see, if a public travel blog is what you’re looking for. I was even able to put in past entries and back date it, so I could have my recent big trip in with my current ones. On top of all that, the customer service is above and beyond friendly and helpful. So glad I made this purchase!

Look elsewhere, this one is a dud.

I invested 4-5 day’s journaling with this app. I liked the interface even though I could only add one photo at a time to my entries (slow and frustrating, but not a show-stopper). Half way through my trip, the app started freezing up - would not let me edit or make new entries- and eventually, once I got more than a blank screen with a spinning ‘loading’ data wheel, it started throwing up server error messages. Now I have to recreate my journal entries and could not be more frustrated with the app. Look elsewhere. This one is a dud.

I want to love it!

I was so excited to find this app...I was hopeful it would be exactly what I was looking for. While there is a lot I love, it's not perfect and not worth a monthly fee (to me.) First, the pros....It's very easy to use. I love that you aren't limited by the number of pictures and that you can have text before and after pics. I also like having the option to tag my location. Being able to change the font as well as color are also bonuses. Now the cons....which to me outweigh the pros. The major con to me is that I can't download a PDF. This is useful for a few reasons. One is to be able to read it in sequential order. The other is to be able to print a book as a keepsake from our trip. I was excited to order a book from the site that they partner with but the options are way too limited and the books are pricey. After a weekend trip I spent 90.00 on a book that I don't think I will be happy with. I would also like the option of adding a heading or title to entries. And, it would be nice if friends could comment on the entire blog itself and/or on individual entries. Please add the option to download to PDF and I will be a loyal monthly subscriber!!! 2/12/18 Update: Increasing to four stars. I love the new enhancements! It’s great having my own webpage where people can easily follow my journey. I want to give it 5 stars but am still trying to figure out the pdf export/printing. Hoping to see improvements there and will update to 5 stars at that point. Thanks Journo!

Almost there

This app is so close to being perfect. The overall layout is eye catching and appealing. I love being able to tell a story and inserting photos and videos where they work. However, this app has quite a few frustrations which cause me to think long and hard before I pay to subscribe. There needs to be the ability to add more than one photo at a time. Adding images is cumbersome and takes too long. My biggest pet peeve is not being able to timestamp my entries. I’ve reached out to support twice and received no answer back. It’s not a huge deal unless you want to create multiple entries for the same day. The map function doesn’t work and neither does the blogging function because the entries are not in the order they should be. I haven’t been able to figure out how to fix it other than opening up my entries, changing something and saving them. Way too time consuming. If this was free, I would live with it. I can’t justify paying seven dollars a month or purchasing a lifetime membership with these issues still looming. Support...please reach out and tell me how to work around the time stamp issue. I want to love this app!

Very glitchy for the reader

My daughter is on a 3 month trip with lots of text and photos. As photos load while reading the viewport jumps to different locations in the entry making it hard to read cohesively. Today some of the entries are missing or incomplete - some showing up on the web version but not on the app version. Rather frustrating to use when you’re trying to keep up with a lives one.
