Global travel authority

I’m so happy to have a dedicated place to keep all my travel plans. It’s perfect for pre-trip prep and to use on the ground to make adjustments. I also use it as a record of where I went!!

No longer lonely planet

Previously these guide books were well thought out they sent people to restaurants hotels and did actual investigate research now this is all AI I live in a town with 120 restaurants and they list four and two of them are closed. This is no longer the Lonely Planet that we used to tow around even though it weighed 4 pounds and it would’ve been so simple to make that electronic, but now now it is simply worthless

Response from developer

Thanks for sharing this feedback. Lonely Planet’s recommendations are created and curated by our editors and contributors, not generated by AI. We’re continuing to add more of our expert content to the app, including restaurant and other place recommendations. We’re also sorry to hear that some of the listings you found were out of date. If you’re willing to share the town and restaurant names with us at appsupport@lonelyplanet.com, our team would appreciate the opportunity to investigate and correct them.

A lot more work to do

The app needs a lot of work. It’s not intuitive to use. I’ve tried to create an itinerary for a two month trip I’m planning through Europe next year. I created the trip. It’s limited to 30 days. I added one city. There is no obvious way to add another city. Unless there are reports of significant updates, I won’t be using this app again. It looks pretty, but if I’m stuck with one city it’s useless.

Thanks for sharing your honest thoughts with us. This early feedback helps us shape the future of this app and improve your experience. Stay tuned as we expand functionality, make improvements and roll out updates.

Horrible Access

Tried to register but app page to enter code expired before I could retrieve it from junk. Every login required the gad awful captcha - who thinks of this. Any phone with biometrics should not require 2FA /captcha!

Excited to see this app develop

Been a big fan of the paper guides for years, this app is a little rough around the edges but excited to see it get better over time.
