Great for backpackers
This is a great app for backpackers that are going to be going lots of places with lots of different modes of transport. I love this app so much
Amazing trip planner!
This is an amazing trip planner especially if you have a lot of things in your agenda. I just planned a 9 day wine tasting tour with friends and was able to share the itinerary and map with them without extra work. And honestly the mapping feature is pretty amazing. I will be using this again
Update - planned three more trips with friends and I cannot imagine planning a trip with other people without using this tool. It’s amazing during the brainstorming, scheduling and executing sections of the trip

Couldn't even get past the login stage
Signed up, received an email confirmation. Went to log in to start the journey - nope. Didn't know recognise my login. Delete. Bye
Good but falling behind
Pebblar is my second-favorite app in this category. It does a lot of things right, and I especially like its ability to collect brainstorming ideas and then add them to a final itinerary.
The interface is a bit cluttered and confusing, however, and the app doesn’t quite handle all the fundamentals as well as some competitors. The app has also crashed on me several times, and produces audio feedback for every button click, which can’t be turned off and quickly becomes annoying. The web interface is better than the app in almost every way.

Amazing App
Used this to plan our trip, super helpful specially if you are going to a lot of places you’re not familiar with. It helps you group them together.
Website is far better than the app
The app is difficult to use. Delete buttons are very close to the X (close buttons). App hangs when editing place notes. If Pebblar was judged solely by the app experience then hard to see it survive given the competition in this space.
Response from developer
Sorry about your experience! I think the editing note issue has been fixed and your other issue of the delete button has been noted :)
Hard to Read Text and Use
The text is quite small throughout and I don’t have bad vision. You’re forced to create and account before you can even try it and you can’t use apple or gmail etc. I had to try several times to click on the really small sign up text as it was so small and close to another option.
The interface is quite busy and the map never centres on anything relevant. It’s hard to move the map without hitting other things and when you let go it snaps to a different zoom level. It also drew a random straight line between two itinerary points that didn’t even connect them - likely a bug, but fairly major one.
I wanted an app to create a trip from a list of things / places, but this only works if you know your order already so I could do the same with notes and a few map links. I think back to just notes.

Overall I’m liking this and the company’s ethos but needs work:
Please make an iPad version as this loads in portrait mode which is useless. But oddly it will sometimes change to landscape. But then revert back to portrait (my iPad is locked disable).
A daily and monthly calendar view so you can see your itinerary by date to adjust how long you want to stay somewhere. It’s easier to work out when you can see the bigger picture as to where you want to go
Should be able to switch destinations around if we discover we want to go to X city first instead of Y.
Would be good to add new destinations in between each other. Eg if you want to squeeze in another place.
Each destination should have ONE edit function to edit all the various things to that destination -method of travel, dates, etc.
Design wise needs work, when I started entering destinations because the keyboard is up the filled in options disappear into the top so I can’t actually select them. I had to go to my browser to add them in
