Trips Pro App Reviews

34 add

Finally

A decent utinerary app! I noticed that there are no times for my flight ( assuming that will show up when its able to track it that day?!). Id love to have times listed in the itunes screen for flights tho! Also would like google map links for things like the hotel, etcc.. Very nice start tho! Highly recommended. Looking forward to a few updates, tho for a 5 star rating.

Useful but needs a few improvements

Very handy for travelers; keeps all your appointments, confirmation nuumbers, and connections in one place. A few additions and tweaks would make it ideal: (1) Allow the whole itinerary to be e-mailed. (2) The flight status information doesnt come up right away; maybe not until a few hours before the flight. In the meantime, the flights are unscheduled and hence out of order within the itinerary. This is disconcerting. (3) when adding new hotels, there are blanks for noting the phone number and address, but they are unworkable. Im looking forward to 1.2.

Will be better with some updates

I like the app overall. There are a couple of things that could be improved though. First, it is way to easy to swipe and delete all fo the information you just entered. There really should be a delete confirm function. Second, I would like the times on the flights to fill in earlier. I am really looking forward to some updates!!

Great

I really liked this application. Easy to use, simple with all the info I need keeping track (for my trips). Just a couple of adjustments but this is still version 1.0. So probably will get even better with future updates!!! I recomend it.

A good idea, bad execution

This program reminds me of one that I had years ago on my Apple Newton. I wish it worked as well as that one. There are so many problems with this application, Ill list just a few. 1. After spending a lot of time entering information for long trips, the information just disappears. 2. If one makes an date error on a flight and goes back to fix it, the program only fixes it withing "Flights" and not on the whole "Trip" creating huge date gap problems. 3. Airline names and airport names are difficult to enter, e.g. you cant just type "UA" for United, but most type "United" to get UA. 4. The whirlgig on entering dates is very erratic and hard to use, giving bad dates quite often. 5. Generally using the program is a waste of time until it is fixed.

Re-writing my first review

O.K. It grew on me.I have to be honest and re do my first rather scathing review. After a day typing in my asian vacation I grew to see this apps potential. Be warned though, this app crashes ALL the time. I mean, put in an entry then quit out to ensure it saves otherwise-bye bye last entry. This is is the first app for the iPhone where I found myself tapping the glass hard with gritted teeth - its quirky. Would it be that hard to put in a flight time( not just date)-I mean thats kind important. And how about putting in major airlines first. I got sick of digging through Uganda air and Ullawoolu air just to get to United! What about an alarm/ping built in-aka iCal.maybe also some more imoji? Symbols to break up the event entry so you can instantly see what the event is; (eg:church/temple/ruins/beach-stuff you do on vacation) symbols so you see what the event is. Can you get the numbers/websites of the hotels etc to link? I couldnt. Like I said, it grows on you. Past the quirky data entry - I look forward to rev 2 as long as I dont have to re enter all my info.

Really good start

I love this app! Being able to store my whole trip is fantastic. I agree with most of the other reviewers that improvements need to be made. Mostly with flight info and hyperlinks for hotels. Everything else is seemless. I love the look and feel if it. Worth the money and if the update it right will be worth even more.

Better

I really do like the interface of this application, its very attractive and easy to use. I had issues with the app last time I was waiting at the airport, it seemed that the scroll wheel went around for ages and nothing happened. However, theres been an update since so fingers crossed. One major thing I would love to see added to this app is the ability to email itineraries. Otherwise, I love it. 4 stars for now, well see how the reliability goes and the email function would be fantastic.

This is becoming a really good application

In my Palm days before the iPhone I had an application similar to Trips - a good application but it cost $30. After getting the iPhone 3G I saw that the same Palm app for the iPhone was available but again for $30. I think thats just too much for an application. Trips cost $6 and is migrating into a really good app. The developer listens to our suggestions and is adding the good ones to his app. Sure, there are things that need to be added or changed but overall this is developing into a really good app and I believe its going to get even better.

Hello??? Amtrak

I love this app but frequently take the train, like many on the east coast. How about some help here!!!

Good Foundation for a better App.

Very easy to use inter-phase. I havent really put it to test since I have no scheduled business trips coming up in the near future. The big BUT that I have is that you have to input everything in manually. As a business traveler, time is gold and we need things to be ready, on the go and fast. I got the app with the hopes that in the future the developper improves its fetching method. It would be GREAT if for your ittineraries, all youd have to do is enter the confirmation numbers (Reservation #, carrier, etc..): the least amount of information possible to build your Trip. I spent about 20 minutes inputing 4 flights I have for one trip in late december (no car, hotels, meetings at least yet) - this is no good when all that was really needed was my confirmation number and with what airline. That would have taken me 10 seconds (vs 20 mins). Again, the app looks great and I am anxious to see it while its working and giving me flight updates and all but for 6:99 I was honestly expecting a little more comfort. For that reason I will only give it 2 stars.

Good app

Good app but be nicer if it has some sort of alarm or sound to indicate when your flight is delayed, canceled ect...some of us dont look at our devices all the time so a sound reminding would be great, i would give it 5 stars if this feature is added.....but over all, it is a good app and very handy.

Finish Time

I like the app and use it. Critical thing I am missing is the finish time for flights. This will show how long the layover will be between airports. Another handy addition would be the ability to add boat or ferry rides.

Good ap

Does what it should elegantly. Flight times to be added in next release per developer (very prompt response to e-mail). Have tried others which tend to be more convoluted to use.

Great Start

Functional and well made - a great start for the complete travel tracking program. It has all the features you need (tracking flights, hotels, cars, etc) and room for enhancement. I look forward to seeing auto population of flight data based on date and flight number, auto population of data information based on previously entered data (i.e. return flights, pick up rental car after flight lands, etc) and the ability to share information with others via e-mail. Nicely done - keep it coming!

Needs More Work

I anxiously awaited this latest version hoping the developer would fix some of the problems I pointed out in a private email. But alas, none of my issues have been resolved. - There is no field for airline arrival time, and no reporting of the length of the flight. - There is no way to enter airline reserved seat numbers, or the cost of the ticket. In fact, the notes field is not present for air flights at all. - When entering a hotel or event far in the future, you have to spin the date/time wheel to that date from "today", but then when entering the check-out date the default of the date/time wheel is still "today" instead of being the prior entered check-in date, so the wheel needs to be spinned anew. I was hoping that this app would provide the basic functionality of TravelTracker at a far lower price, but that is not yet the case.

Could have been so much more

I purchased this due to its interface and ease of use. I liked many things about the product, however the constant inputting put me off and so when another similar app - travel tracker added tripit i bought that - although more expensive it is 1000% sleeker and more convenient and is well thought out. There are things that i dont like about that app but the developer seems more willing to make real changes. What i liked about this app was its email feature, its UI, and its accessing to airline data. Unfortunately all other similar apps have advanced way beyond this app to the point that i no longer use this app and feel that this was a waste of time. Until, the developer is prepared to match and go beyond what the competition are offering - My answer is DON"T BUY

Not HAPPY in Alaska :-(

I purchased this after reading reviews and thought it was going to be good, not perfect, but good to organize my trips. I cannot put in my home airport location or any others from Southeast Alaska. They dont exist in this program and you cant add them. I wanted a place where I could organize my trips, I put in one trip (except my airport since it wouldnt take it) and wanted to enter another trip and it would not let me enter the second trip. Paying $7 for a program that doesnt work is a WASTE of money. I am VERY disappointed. Maybe there will be a fix oneday,but until then I am disappointed.

Overpriced for what you get

Unfortunately, I am deleting this application from my phone today as other apps integrate with my address book and I dont need to re-enter all of the information in the phone.

Nice Start

This application has good potential and the developer has made a nice start. Besides the flaws that other reviews have noted another issue is that it is not well integrated into native iPhone capabilities. For example the phone fields for hotels do not activate the phone, one has to remember the number and then exit and dial. Similarly, addresses do not link to Maps and give directions. Hopefully more improvements will be coming soon.
