Auto track your trips, add past trips by date and whoosh your trip is created with your photos and an impressive map. Sad to see them leave after all these years, but covid stopped everyone from traveling and they became one of the many companies that were crippled. I hope some day that you come back. In the meantime the app and my trips are still in my file with a “here’s hoping” ### 5/5 — Enjoying Esplorio *2024-02-12* On a 2024 Crystal Serenity World Cruise. WIFI on board is excellent. Like how I can exclude photos that are not relevant to the cruise. Nice how the app tracks them by date and geo tags the location and places on a map where each photo was taken. ### 2/5 — Such a shame... *2022-10-19* I have used this app for several years and it has been a great way to record and share trips...However the developers have obviously walked away and left it to gradually die. It is becoming more buggy, and the support is non-existent. I would advise anyone to try the free version, but don't upgrade, I did, and it gives nothing extra. It is one thing to have a buggy app that is free, another to pay a big price for an app that the developer can't be bothered with anymore. ### 2/5 — Possibly No More *2022-09-18* Looks like this app is no longer developed. But they happily continue to take your subscription fees! No response on Twitter. Integrations don’t work. Sad to see a truly wonderful app fall apart. **Developer response:** Wow, thanks so much for the amazing review! We really appreciate it! As always let us know if there’s anything more you need :-) ### 1/5 — Update 8/3/2022: stopped working - no response from customer service *2022-08-03, version 6.0.7* Loved this app so much I paid $49.95 for annual subscription for Pro version. And now doesn’t work and get no response despite multiple attempts from customer service. (My former 5 Star review: used to be: Terrific Travel Diary App with Delightful Stats Summary Very impressed with import from TripIt! Terrific summary of miles, countries and delightful graphical representations. And with the syncing of map to photos. Only done a few trips from history and one from future to try out. Impressed! Terrific communication and response to question.) ### 4/5 — Buggy, keeps crashing on iPhone 13pro, could be very good *2022-07-16* Constant sync wheel in the middle of the screen, otherwise ok only been using it for a few hours and wary of committing my whole trip at the moment ### 5/5 — Amazing App *2022-04-25, version 6.0.7* After several years of using it I still love it!! I log all my trips to share with family and friends. It’s also a great way fir them to know we are moving along and where we’ve been in case something happens. I just wish they give the option to add short videos as well. Maybe one day but still love it!! ### 2/5 — No support *2021-12-17* The app is good but at the same time, I’ve been having all sort of problems connecting services such as Tripit and synchronization with photos on my iPhone. Trying to get any support is just the worst. Terrible support to say the least ### 2/5 — Fantastic app for creating a travel journal *2021-08-16* Update 16 August 2021: Esplorio was a great App, but has not been updated for a year. In addition, there is no support via the Help section of the App, and no response to emails. As a consequence, I have sadly cancelled my Pro subscription, and updated this review. I suspect Esplorio is another casualty of Covid-19. Researched various options and decided to go with Esplorio and haven’t been disappointed. Excellent support and regular updates adding useful new features and fixing bugs. I have just returned from a 50 day trip through New Zealand and had Esplorio running 24/7. Recorded an accurate GPS track with no significant battery drain. Quick to add photos and content with simple and easy to use editing tools. Really well thought out app which should only get better. I kept my trip private while traveling (shared only with family and friends) and made it public after returning home. **Developer response:** Hi G Disney, Thanks so much for this amazing review and for contacting us separately too! You might be pleased to know that we're about to release a totally new way of curating and managing photos which we think will be the simplest but most powerful tool out there, which will be great for your next trip. Thanks also for sharing your trip publicly which is now showing on our Explore feature :-) ### 1/5 — Really dissatisfied *2021-03-31* The developers of this app seem to have disappeared. Was a good app, but no support or development for a year. Wish I didn’t have to dump this app but it looks like I have no choice . **Developer response:** Hey foodie4, really sorry to hear about your trouble here :( We're just about to release 4.1.1 which allows you to re-add deleted photos which we built mostly in response to your feedback. We'd love if you'd give it a whirl in a few days when released. We're also working on an entirely new collaging system which should stop any unexpected movement of photos. Really sorry for the trouble again, hope you give it another go! ## Frequently asked questions about Esplorio Travel Journal & Blog ### What does Esplorio do?
