Faraway is the easiest way to plan a trip together. Build a shared trip with friends or family, add the places you want to go, and see them all on one live map. Everyone on the trip sees the same places, the same map, and the same plan, updated in real time. Stay in the loop without living in the app. Faraway sends a quick heads-up when a friend joins, when someone adds a place, logs an expense, or starts a poll, so nobody has to keep checking. Every alert has its own on/off switch, and tapping one takes you straight there. Never lose sight of your group. When you share your location, each traveler stays on the live map. If a marker goes quiet it gently fades and shows a "last seen" time instead of vanishing, so you always know roughly where everyone is. Plan each day without the busywork. Add stops to Today and let Faraway order them by what is closest, so you spend less time backtracking and more time exploring. Save places straight from Google with real names, addresses, and locations. Faraway works offline. Land somewhere with no signal and your whole trip is still there, ready to go. No ads. No noisy account setup. You get a private recovery phrase instead of a password, so your trips stay yours and move with you across devices.

Group notifications Stop refreshing to see what changed. Faraway sends a gentle heads-up when something happens on your trip: - A friend joins or leaves the trip - Someone adds a new place - Someone logs a new expense - Someone starts a poll (tap it to jump straight to the place it is about) Every notification type has its own on/off switch in a new Notifications screen, so you stay in control and nobody gets spammed. Tap any notification to land right where you need to be. Stay in the loop without living in the app. Your group stays on the map A member you are traveling with now always stays on the live map. When their location gets old it gently fades and shows a "last seen" time instead of dropping off. No more wondering where everyone went. Never lose sight of your group. Thanks for using Faraway. Have a trip idea or a bug to report? We would love to hear from you. ### 1.0.10 — 2026-07-08 - Live location sharing: opt in to share your location with your trip and see everyone on one live map in real time. It is off by default, only your trip members can see it, and you can turn it off anytime. - Trip organizer controls: only the trip creator can change the invite code or remove members. If the organizer leaves, the role hands off to another member automatically, plus a new "Leave and transfer ownership" option. - Fixed a crash that could occur when setting a phase's check-in or check-out dates. - Roomier map: nearby places group together less aggressively, so pins are easier to tell apart. - Fixed the avatar color picker being cut off on smaller iPhones. - "Copy trip" now works reliably. - Broader stability improvements so the app recovers gracefully instead of crashing on unexpected data. ### 1.0.9 — 2026-07-07 Faraway 1.0.9 brings a round of polish plus a few new tools for planning with your group: • Split bookings and costs: log flights, hotels, and activities and divide the bill with everyone on the trip • Weather now shows right on the Nearby map, so you can check conditions without leaving what you're looking at • More trip theme colors and avatar colors to make each trip feel like your own • Smoother joining: fixed an issue where invite codes could be tricky to type correctly • Faraway Pro purchases now restore more reliably across devices • Added in-app account deletion in Settings • A refreshed app icon • Various stability and bug fixes based on user feedback Thanks for planning with Faraway.
