Still learning the app, but I like what I see so far. I travel a lot, so this is like a digital journal for me as well. Update: After a month of usage, I love this app. Not only does it create a super cool map of all my travel, but it pull in my pictures and organizes them by location. For years I've taken pictures but not organized them. I'm so happy that I stumbled upon this app.

Before Polarsteps I tried Bonjournal (which recently closed) and WordPress. Honestly, I wish I'd found Polarsteps sooner! Travel journaling has never been easier! I love that I can keep my journal private and only share the link with those who I want to have it. Adding pictures to entire is easy peasy. And even though I haven't ordered a book yet, I love that that's an option for some of our future escapades. Would highly recommend!

This app is amazing! It's a really cool kind of travel journal app that allows to to upload pictures of your travels and do little write ups on it. It tracks everywhere you go on a map, so you upload pictures for each location. When you're finished, you can order a photo book of all the pictures and write ups you made along the way! Would definitely reccomend
