It's an excellent app! Functionality is perfect... I really like that I finally can have my travel diary, photos and even map locations in one place. Edit: It DESPERATELY needs an option to only upload over WiFi or to not automatically sync!! I've accidentally used loads of data because I didn't realise it just starts uploading as soon as I'm connected.

Used the app for 6yrs now. Happy with new travel buddy option. Also like the video support. Still miss the option to change routes when gps messed up. However, still haven't bought books as the layout options are under par. Would like more freedom in the photo pages like basically any album you can buy online. More pre-made layouts (that also cater to vertical pics). Also a blank in which one can drop/crop/rotate and place images as one wishes. Also img color filters, tip: pqina.nl/pintura

Great app, but the fact that you cannot edit a route is simply beyond me! On long journeys I always have a moment on which the tracking doesn't work for like 8 hours and if that happened on a travel day you will have to deal with a stupid line running from point a to b ruining the rest of the route if you ask me. Please add this option... Your competitor has this option and I am seriously considering changing and fixing my route there...
