I lile this app, although haven't used it much. It's a bit like Letterboxd for trips. One thing I'd really like is the option to add countries visited in the past without all the faffy details and dates... Like I know I went to Scotland, Florida, Majorca as a kid, etc, and various countries on different cruises, so I want to 'tick' that I've been to those countries, but I have no idea when it was! Just let me add that I've visited a country, without adding loads of trip details.

The app is great, intuitive and helpful for tracking travels. However, it currently doesn’t allow running more than one trip at the same time. If the dates of two trips overlap, it blocks the second one. It would be extremely useful to have this option, for example, I’m on a long multi-country journey and would love to log one overall trip, but also create separate trips for each country. That way, reviewing and organizing memories would be much easier.

absolutely fantastic idea but a poor implementation regarding importing photos. my photos are stored on Google photos, and you can't directly select Google photos as the source. even trying to download the photos, you still have to scroll through hundreds in the hope that you might come across the photo you're looking for. I'm sure Google has implemented a much better way of pulling photos in from its services. it's just this. this app has decided not to use them.
