User reviews

Amazing app! Love tracking and sharing my trip. A couple bugs in the planning portion where scheduled dates for a step gets changed and not even remotely close to the original selected dates. Even some planned steps get dates added which makes it a pain if to cleanup. Feature request to share trip publicly for steps you have saved in an active trip but only show current and planned location to followers. Right now you have to finish a trip for this.

Share my trip with my loved ones privately. I like it that it locates me with GPS. No lagging, no ad, clean interface, no bells and whistles. What else to ask for? Have your charging cable with you always, your battery drains fast with GPS. It goes down to 20% by 4-5pm. Usually I turn on airplane mode to save battery when I am on transportation and use camera only at the same location.

I like this app! I found this app at an IHOP! I overheard a couple speaking French in another seating booth. I welcomed them and introduced myself. They showed me their trip on Polarsteps and what the app did, and I was hooked. We all carry our phones wherever we go and snap gobs of photos. This app allows you to associate the photos you take to that trip along with their locations. Have you ever had someone try to show you a photo on their phone? You wait while they scroll endlessly, right?
