User Reviews for Polarsteps - Travel Tracker

Great app, easy to share, amazing book.

My family went on a 3 month road trip and we used polar steps the whole time to track our trip, save and organize pictures, and blog about our trip in a way that was easy to share with friends and family while also allowing us to stay off social media. For that alone, this is a really cool app. But the best part it when we were done, we ordered a book from them which was made automatically from our pictures and text entries (and you can tweak it as much as you want to, it’s very easy to use) and it’s amazing! Better than all the souvenirs put together, something we’ll keep and cherish forever. AND it was really reasonably priced. We paid something like $120 for a book with about 350 pages. Like I said, it was a long trip, and I didn’t want to take any pictures out so we just set it up and I was honestly surprised at the price for such a beautiful book. 1000% worth it!

Flaws with adding old trips

I am enjoying using this app to track my travels, but the process of adding in previous trips from before I downloaded the app has several flaws. Most notably, the app is atrocious at guessing where I took various pictures and the "suggested photos from [city]" feature doesn't work well when I'm adding a step. I know that my phone has geotags saved for all of the photos I've taken - I'd love for a way to give the app access to that info to make the process of selecting photos easier. If it were possible, I'd also love to have an option to sync the app with my Google Maps app, which remembers not only when I've arrived and departed from each city but which restaurants, shops, etc. I've spent time in. I'd really love for my previous trips to be as fleshed out as the ones that Polarsteps creates itself are.

Your Ultimate Travel Wingman!

I gotta tell you, PolarSteps is the bomb-diggity of travel apps! 🌍✈️ Seriously, it’s like having your personal travel guru right in your pocket. I’ve been on the app since the beginning and I’ve happily carried PolarSteps around the globe with me.One thing that totally rocks about PolarSteps is their overall travel statistics. It’s like looking at your own travel résumé - you can see how many countries you’ve conquered, how many miles you’ve trekked, and even the time you’ve spent in transit (Jetsetter badge, anyone?). It’s perfect for impressing your friends with your travel street cred.But wait, there’s more! The interactive global map is where the real magic happens. You can zoom in on the exact spots you’ve been, and it’s like reliving your adventures all over again. It’s like having a digital scrapbook that you can share with your peeps, complete with photos and notes.Plus, the app is super user-friendly. You don’t have to be a tech whiz to navigate it. Whether you’re a seasoned globetrotter or just planning your first big trip, PolarSteps has got you covered. It’s the ultimate travel sidekick, and it’s all about making your journeys cooler than a polar bear’s toenails. 🐧❄️So, if you’re into tracking your adventures and reliving the good times, PolarSteps is the way to go. It’s the app that turns your travels into epic stories. Happy adventuring, my fellow wanderlusters! 🌟🌏🌟

Amazing App!

I can’t say enough about this app! I usually don’t write reviews. My husband and I are truckers traveling the country and I have a picture taking problem. 😂 I wanted an app to keep track of the states we’ve been in and the places we’ve seen. This app does just that. It keeps track of our movements and shows the journey on the map. It keeps logs of the places and times we’re been so I can go back and create a step with pictures and/or mark a restaurant or activity we did. I love being able to upload pictures in bulk. Not having a limit. I also love being able to create multiple albums and then the fact that this app will create a photo album for you! It’s amazing! It also keeps statistics on your trips and how much of the country and the world you’ve seen. It’s just all around incredible.

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!!

What an Amazing Travel App!

PolarSteps! What an amazing app! I cannot tell you how much I appreciate this app for keeping track of where we were on our latest cruise. The only bad news is how much data it takes to actually use this app. It tracks your location for every step you take and it does it in the background. The bad news is that it requires you to activate an international plan if you are traveling outside the U.S. Sometimes, it has difficulty using the tracking part of the operating system in iOS and registers the user as having taken a flight instead of cruising. Then when you get to the online part of the program, there isn't a way to change that portion of the trip. So, there are a few quirks. However, overall, it is a good program.

Perfect for documenting travels

So my friend and I road-tripped across the US last year and this app was so great for so many reasons. First - it tracks you as you go and allows you to take pictures with location/time details. So when we would stop in the middle of nowhere and take a pic it knew exactly where we were and the time , and you can add a little blurb. It also created a map for you of your route and all of your stops/ pics you too along the way. A year later I finally created and purchased a book of our travels through polar steps and sent it to my friend as a surprise. It was perfect because I didn’t have to remember where we stopped or what we we’re thinking that day or the jokes we made, since I had it all saved in the app. The OTHER great thing about this company besides the product is their customer service. When I initially sent the book to my friend for Christmas it was stolen from her doorstep. They sent another one without charge and she finally got it. Great company

Love this app!!

I was an early adopter and have been using this app for years. We print a book every 6 months for a place to have all our adventures. The books themselves are great quality. The best part is I don’t have to sit down for hours to create a book. I simply add photos each day we do something. When 6 months is up I hit create book and pay. A few weeks later we have our memories. With so many memories on our phones there is no guarantee they will be around years to come. The book is great for all to page through. The only negative thing I can say is the app is a little glitchy when it comes time to print. I just no longer try to edit the photos once it is print time. Pro tip: only put photos in that you know you want in the book and don’t put it off until later to edit.

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?

Best RV or Traveling Buddy!!

Highly recommend this to anyone on the road in an RV or just traveling. Before my big van life trip across the USA I tried several different apps and this one is by far is the best I’ve come across. I wanted something my friends and family could follow even if I didn’t have cell service to be in touch with them all the time. My only silly small issue with the app is not truly knowing how many people are following. They have the secret link you can send out but those people aren’t required to sign up so we had no idea how many people were actually following us. I actually even reference it a lot (now) even though my trip is over. It’s the small day to day things you forget you did so I’m thankful we had this on our trip. Also love that you can print a book once you’re done.
