Trip Journal App Reviews

This is a great trip app.

Very useful

Currently documenting a vacation in Florida. The only hitch I can find is the speed at which the camera operates--its a little slow as the number of photos grows within a trip. Aside from the camera startup speed, the rest of the app has worked well.

Not at all hard to use.

Crashes each time you take a picture. Too hard to enter data. Maps wont scroll or zoom in or out. AND Ive just started to use it!

Purchased this app to record an epic road trip (15 states, 4 Canadian Provinces, & 2 territories in a little more than 11 days). For the most part, Trip Journal was what I was looking for: something to track the GPS coordinates, and let me create notes & add photos to the trip. I did have issues with frequent crashing, although I figured that was due simply to the enormity of my trip. There were a few things I had issues with and/or would like to see in future releases: 1) the ability to add photos not taken within the app. I had several issues using the camera from within the app itself; namely, it took far too long to open up the app to take pictures (resulting in MANY missed opportunities), absolutely NO control of the camera from within the app (I couldnt turn off the flash or zoom), and several times the screen never moved off the aperture graphic, meaning I was taking photos completely blind & hoping for the best. 2) landscape capabilities to type notes 3) latitude & longitude on the exported maps (i.e., the ones you view on Facebook) - I wasnt able to always drop pins at different waypoints, but Id still love to know/see where I was. Overall, it did most of what I needed, and was very nice to have on for a trip of a lifetime.

Bought app to document our 26 day, 7 states Road Trip. I found it easy to use, but would like a few additional features. I agree with other reviewer in wishing to add pictures taken with camera on my iPhone since the app camera has no zoom and focus, also a little slower to launch. I also would like landscape to type notes. My friends couldnt open the file that i emailed to them unless they bought the app too. I was a little surprised that they objected to this, but they did. Actually that was a surprise to me too. I decided to continue using app for myself since I was 3 days into the trip but I wont be sharing it during the trip like I planned.

Not user friendly from the beginning

Thank you for saving my good memories :)

This app doesnt even open for me. Not happy that I paid for this crap. FIX IT!

Stopped working at the end of my last trip while running on my 4s. I lost my data for that trip. Also does not open on my iPhone 5!! Why does it not open!!!!!!

I have used this app on many road trips now and I also use it to keep track of places I have metal detected and it allows for me to take photos of my finds. Ive only had the app close on me a few times in a couple years but it was no big deal I just clicked back on the app and continued what I was doing. I highly recommend this app to anyone who travels, metal detects, geocaching, field trips, and etc. also good for camping trips. This app, as well as all the others like this, drain the battery faster than normal usage but its not that much.

I bought this to record all my previous journeys so I could back track then begin my journal of my travels. You can only record current travels. And can not back track. That seems like a pretty common sense feature. How could you over look this? Waste of my money.

Ive used it for two years. Its a great way to stay connected with your friends.

Its a nice idea, but if I cannot access and add existing photos from my phone, this app is rather useless. Thanks for the effort, but a waste of my money.

Make sure you allow location services. It works as described.

I love its flexibility a joy to work with

It does what it says it will do.

Ive tried to use this app a couple of times, and all I can say is, meh. While the idea is good, the execution is poor. There are several instances where the program is cumbersome to use, or counterintuitive. Take for example adding a photo. It ignores your camera settings, such that the flash goes off you can when you told the camera not to flash. Also, it takes photos from within the app, at a lower resolution. So, when you want to use your pictures later, the pictures taken with the app are of a lower quality. Finally, if I want to use a picture taken (from the camera itself), I have to go to a submenu that is not like all the other apps that use existing photos. The photos are just one example of how this application falls short. But, on the other hand, its worth what you paid for it.

Im having a really hard time entering past trips, and the app seems to be all around complicated. Why cant I delete the origination point on the map?
