Absolutely tedious. Someone recommended an app called Been but it got awful reviews on Android so I checked this one out instead. They're not really at all similar. This app is so tedious to input your locations of travel. It insists on you compiling your entire trio and adds in travel lines from point to point. Also there doesn't seem to be a way to just have one map up that shows all the places you've traveled, but instead you have to open each trip. The app lacks intuitiveness.

I use this app for tracking where I've been. It's very useful and cool. Easy to use, intuitive. I haven't tried the more advanced features but based on how well the app works overall, I would expect them to work very well. I took one star off after my last trip because of the app's tendency to go to sleep for hours, leaving long straight lines that don't capture the detail of an otherwise complex route, which is unfortunate.

I am using PolarSteps for the first time and am loving it. I don't have data on this trip and the app still is able to identify where I've been. There's so much this app does. I've been sharing it with other travelers as well. Some things I would like the developers to consider moving forward. Ability to: *add contributors so all on trip can participate *add captions to pictures *rearrange actual steps We are still traveling, so I will have to come back to review the photo book. ❤️ this app
