Every place has a photo, tags, a short description, Google Maps details (star rating, opening hours, website, phone number). No more copying and pasting foreign names of places, no more flipping and flopping between each article and Google Maps to figure out if a location could fit with my schedule. You know those listicles of 10 things you should see in that every travel blog has? Wanderlog aggregates a few of them (for larger cities), but it goes the extra mile of parsing the list and finding the places on a map for me. Let's be a bit unorthodox and start with the last one. With my trip created, Wanderlog opens up three tabs for me: Overview, Itinerary, and Explore. It can be something specific like my past weekend in Reims with exact start and end times, or a vague plan like a general list of things I want to do in France. Just let me walk you through it.įirst, I create a trip. Beyond these requirements, the app has nearly everything I've wanted in a travel, road trip, and itinerary planner. Either sharing was impossible or they didn't have web or iOS clients, and those that did showed more ads than a Google Discover feed or had an outdated UI. These are my most basic requirements for a travel app and, believe it or not, many services I tried earlier didn't check all these boxes.
It's a smooth app too with neat animations, beautiful iconography and typography, and some layers and gestures. It also allows sharing trip plans with your friends or partners with view-only or edit rights, and it live-updates when anyone makes a change, à la Google Docs.
It's available on Android, iOS, and web, so I can start planning on my computer, continue on my iPad, review on my Pixel, and jump between all platforms without a hitch. The web interface is beautifully designed and offers the same breadth of features.įirst things first: Wanderlog is free and has no ads (this is its privacy policy).
