Tripsy – Travel Plans Planner

Tripsy is the best travel app. Period.

I have tried nearly every trip planning software out there and Tripsy is without question the best there is, at least for me. The interface is clean and uncluttered, but still manages to be refined and effective. It’s the most beautiful travel app I’ve ever found. Most needed functions have been provided, though there is still room for improvement. All in all, I give it 5 stars without hesitation, but I would love to see the following items eventually addressed by the developers: 1. Native support in Android. I don’t use Android (all Apple ecosystem) but many of the friends I travel with do. It would be nice if they had access through something other than the browser. 2. I wish I could adjust the width of the information pane in MacOS. For now you can widen the window, but it only enlarges the background map, not the embedded data window. 3. I’d love an enhancement of the expenses module allowing me to keep track of paid expenses versus unpaid ones. Also would love to be able to quickly split expenses with other travelers in my party. Having a reminder system to tell you when certain expenses are coming due would greatly help trip planning. 4. When inputting a cruise itinerary, Tripsy is smart enough to parse out all the ports of call into routes, indicating trips from one port to another, but doesn’t add anything into the itinerary list showing arrival times, only departing times. I had to create a custom category and manually input all of the arrival times. 5. Only one note can be added to any activity. All the notes regarding that activity have to be included in that single file. I would prefer to be able to attach multiple notes with individual titles in order to more quickly find the information I need when I need it, much the same way you can add other files and links. 6. Having the ability to embed checklists would be a welcome feature that is currently missing. 7. Tripsy doesn’t handle split days at the same lodging very well. You will be able to add the first one from the search window. Any subsequent visits to that lodging within the same trip have to be added manually if they are not directly adjacent days. It’s not a frequent circumstance but it’s cumbersome when it happens. 8. When entering a time frame for an event, Tripsy doesn’t always pick the right time zone based on the entered location. When this happens, and it does so frequently, it feels like a ridiculous number of clicks in order to correct it. To make matters worse, once it is correct in the beginning time, you’ll have to do it all over again in the ending time. Tripsy won’t make the logical assumption that you’re likely ending your activity in the same time zone in which you began. 9. Since Tripsy promotes the idea that it is as much a log of your journeys as it is a planner for them, it would be nice if photos from the trip were differentiated from the rest of the attached files, maybe a trip album separate from the documents file folder. It would also be nice to be able to edit the dates, right now they get entered as the day the photograph was attached, not the day it was taken. I know it sounds like I have a bunch of complaints, but I don’t take this kind of time to give suggestions on software I dislike. It is only my enthusiasm for this app that inspired me to write this review. Given the unparalleled quality already evident in the app, I have little doubt it’s only a matter of time until the above listed improvements will be addressed, probably in much better ways than I imagined.

Adictive

When I am traveling, I find that this tool is the number one app that I use daily multiple times. It keeps track of routes. It keeps track of expenses. It’s the greatest thing I’ve ever found yet for traveling. I think you’re gonna love this if you’re one of those people that like to track your expenses and know where your money is going, and plan ahead for future travels. I would highly recommend getting this App and try it out!
