Amazing

A decent travel planning app

This is one of the better travel planning apps I’ve used. The screens are well designed and easy to use. BEWARE OF THE FAKE 1 WEEK FREE TRIAL FOR PRO In the app, they advertise 1 week free before you pay for an annual subscription, which is misleading. This isn’t a 1 week free trial. They charge you immediately. I mentioned this in a message from in the in-app support, and they made excuses, wouldn’t do anything about it and couldn’t care less. The app has some strange behaviours, which is a little annoying. I noticed several times when adding or editing stops to my trip, it moved the order of the stops around so they weren’t in date order anymore, and other times, it changed or deleted some of my stops. It’s been the same for about a year and a half, at least. It also sometimes creates duplicates, which I noticed when uploading documents. It created 3 copies of the same document. When attaching a document to a stop, it changes the file name and replaces spaces etc with symbols which makes it hard to find what your looking for. The flight alerts, which a paid feature, are useless and not worth paying for. I had one notification that a flight had been delayed with a new departure time, 20 minutes after the scheduled departure time and 2 minutes before the updated departure time. I had another notification that the flight had departed which is useless when you’re already on the flight and no other notifications, such as expected departure time beforehand, gate number, arrival gate, bag carousel. The app doesn’t have the most important feature for me, importing bookings by forwarding an email, although I’m told it will be coming. This is generally a good app, despite the few problems that it has and the poor attitude form the in-app support staff or developer. It’s definitely not worth paying for Pro.

Parfaite

Cette application est très bien conçue; simple, complète et très pratique. Il est simple de faire le suivi de nos activités de groupe.

- lien des documents de confirmation ( hôtel, transports, activités)avec les lieux, déplacements ou avec activités.

Et que dire des propositions de voyage avec les choses à ne pas manquer

Mon prochain voyage planifié est dans 4 mois, tout est sécurisé dans l’application: l’itinéraire, les vols, ferry, location de voitures], hôtels, et activités. Avec un simple clic chaque document est retrouvé à l’instant!
Wow! 5 étoiles pas moins!
Bravo aux créateurs et gestionnaires!

My favourite travel planning app

Lambus is my favourite travel planning app, it has many features that I use all the time. I was also impressed with the very responsive support I received when I made an improvement suggestion. I look forward to seeing some budgeting functionality in a future release.
Good work guys!!

Excellent app with outstanding support

Purchased this app recently. It took me very little time to get it up and running. It has some great feature, some already familiar to me but others not so. I don't travel a lot so the opportunity to get all the pro features for the one major trip I am doing this year was a bonus. If I had a few trips on the go would not hesitate with the full subscription.
I am running Lambus on both My IPad Pro and Galaxy s10. I build the trip mostly using the iPad due to bigger screen but while on the go my phone will be the goto most of the time. The sync between the two is great.

The user interface is good and works as it should. I have some preferences but as with most products they are not built for a single user. There is nothing I am disappointed with.

The thing that really impresses me is the support provided by the team. I have put through a couple of very minor glitches and also asked some very dumb questions that a bit more research may have provided me with the solution. In all instances they have got back extremely quickly using a live chat type response. I am in Australia so the time difference is a factor, however it has not been an issue live communication is done during my evening and their morning.

I also made a couple of suggestions and the response was not just an off the shelf reply they actually took it on board. Have been updated that one of the suggestions should be out in the next update - impressive.

I definitely recommend this product both for its usability and most definitely for the support provided - outstanding.

Great UI but needs improvements

I really like the UI, it’s easy to navigate and has the right things that you need for planning.

A few improvements though. First, when you search for places for your plan, the result doesn’t narrow down to your destination. Instead, it will display all the places with similar names in the entire world. When I plan for my trip to Paris, why would I want to see places in Australia and Canada?

Second, management of sub groups within a trip would be great. For example, allow creating trip to Paris and Berlin and Rome under a larger plan called Trip to Europe. And then allow forwarding of reservation emails to the Trip to Europe plan for automatic imports. Thanks.

Response from developer

Hi there! That's really cool feedback, thank you for that! We will try to improve the search algorithm to match results better. And your sub groups idea is really interesting as well. We will try to implement that in future releases of Lambus :-)

Too expensive

Has potential but still needs work to make it truly useful. I don’t like subscriptions in general and this app doesn’t warrant a subscription. It’s too expensive for what it does. I started using but now am planning to replicate what it does in the standard Apple notes app for free.

Response from developer

Hi stenataar, thank you for your feedback! Our app is and will always remain free. Lambus PRO is just an addition to that, if you want to unlock more features like flight alerts and extended route planning. Please make sure to read our FAQ about that and let us know if you have more questions! 🙂

Great app - Could definitely be better

Would love to see the document section incorporate actual word and excel documents...odd that it doesn’t support that.

Notifications could be more specific...pretty generic at the moment.

Would love to see hiking/camping trips incorporated, to include camp sites.

Great App! Keep building it and improving!

Great find

Very good app with a clean, intuitive design. Very fast, helpful responses from the developer team when some bugs were reported (even on a Sunday). Hats off to the team involved, it’s made our road trip planning a lot easier. 👏🏻

Response from developer

Thanks again for your report and your kind feedback! :)
