Wifi only, not cell data

Seems to need wifi to work. Where I travel this is rarely available, so I mention this for other remote travelers. Otherwise seems nice.

Response from developer

Hi there! Thank you for your review. At the moment our app indeed needs to have access to an internet connection in order to work. It shouldn't matter if this is WiFi or cell data, although the stronger the better. We hope to be able to launch an offline version someday in the future as we can imagine that when travelling there is not always access to internet. If you have any question or feedback, feel free to reach out to us at info@traveldiariesapp.com . Kind regards, Paula

A great way to save and share!

We travel in our rv full time and do t get to see family and friends as often as we would like, or share photos and stories of our travels with them. Travel Diaries app has changed the way I communicate by allowing me to share my stories and photos either in Facebook (can use whatever privacy settings you may want) or email. The app is so easy to use, like writing my very own book, and editing photos is super easy! The finished produce looks polished and professional! I look be and travel in the states but have always had great support and service with any issues I may have. I use the app in my phone, and use the web version on my laptop and iPad. I love it!

Love this app!!

I’ve been using Travel Diaries for almost a year and I absolutely love it! My husband and I moved overseas for an Expat assignment for a few years so I’ve been blogging ever since and my family and friends love getting to see all our pictures and read about our adventures along the way. There’s only been a few very minor issues with uploading and/or organizing my book, but with a quick response from Paula at Travel Diaries, it was easily fixed and I was able to continue my books without a fuss. I’m on my fourth book and I can’t wait to get them all printed so I can have all of these amazing memories to look back on. I highly recommend this app as it’s easy to navigate and a great way to have all of your memories be put into a book to share with anyone!

Thank you so much for your kind words! How fun that you are keeping so many diaries in the app. We are looking forward to print them for you so you can enjoy them for many more years to come! You know where to find us in case you have any further questions or feedback. Kind regards, Paula

Friends Ask What I Use To Blog

I have used this app to write four diaries including a World Cruise. It took a bit of time to learn the best way to use it and the strength of your WIFI makes a big difference in uploading pictures but once I got the hang of it it worked like a charm. The company (Paula) has been very willing to work with me and walk me through any difficulties I have had. They are one of the most quickly responsive companies I have dealt with. I recommend them to anyone who asks. I also like the ability to print out the diary including pictures. I will keep using this app.

Thanks Dave! We are happy to be of help. In case there is anything else we can do for you or if you just have some feedback for us, feel free to reach out. Safe travels, Paula

Ignore the old reviews

Apparently the app had some problems a year ago or so, but those all appear to be resolved. None of the travel diary type apps do everything I want, but this one comes close.
Has a small learning curve, but once you get the rhythm down you can sail through. Don't lose your vacation memories, use this app

Do Not Buy

Do not buy this app. I downloaded this app when it was free and started using it for a big trip. It didn’t work consistently (photos would not upload) but I had already given others the link. When it became a paid app, I purchased it because, again others already had the link. I cannot add photos at all anymore. It is slow to load, and it does not always save. Every time I use it (try to use it) I tell myself that I can’t believe I paid money for something that doesn’t work. Don’t waste your money.

Hi Linds, I am sorry to hear you were experiencing issues. This is not supposed to happen, and is not the quality that we stand for. Could you please email us at info@traveldiariesapp.com so we can find a solution? It may have something to do with the browser or device you are working on. In any case, we are happy to help you and look forward to finding a solution together. Thank you! Paula, Travel Diaries

Excellent product

I have been using this service for many years to store my travel diaries safely. There have been periodic updates to the system but all have been improvements. Response to queries is always prompt, polite and helpful. The recent introduction of modest charges enables this dimension of their business model to meet my needs and those like me who are looking for safe library storage off-site but do not require printed copy.

Disappointed

Yesterday, I downloaded Travel Diaries for my upcoming trip to Sicily. I spent time setting up the book and planning my approach. This evening, I tried to revisit what I had done and felt I’d gone into another universe. I had to reset my password, then, it wanted my to use my Facebook password to sign in. I don’t use FB and was unable to open the journal to see what I had worked out yesterday. I guess I had better look for another, more user-friendly app.

Response from developer

Hi Bucks, sorry to hear you were experiencing issues. There are several ways to login to our app: email, Facebook, Google and Twitter. What happens sometimes is that users create an account with their email, and then later login with a social login. Then you will not find your diaries there, because this will create a new account. We can merge these accounts for you though. Please reach out to info@traveldiariesapp.com, so we can help you. We would also greatly appreciate it, if you would reconsider your rating, once you've managed to login again. Thank you! Paula, Travel Diaries

Issue Adding Pictures

I wanted this to work and it seemed really cool but any time I go to add a picture to a page it just comes up black and then when I hit done I get an error. Not useful if I can’t add pictures!

Response from developer

Hi Abbirc, thank you for your review and sorry to hear you were experiencing issues. We were at that time experiencing a temporary bug with live photos and HEIC images that turned up black. This was solved pretty quickly though. So I hope you are willing to give it another try and reconsider your review. If you are experiencing any other issues, you can always email us at info@traveldiariesapp.com. Thank you! Paula, Travel Diaries
