It would be nice to be able to upload several pics at once, it's a slow process as is, and also hope you add video upload capability. Also would like notification when someone comments. Overall a very good app. ### 4/5 — Great app but... *2011-11-17, version 2.3* The app is really easy to use and it's nice that even if you don't have Internet connection you can still create your blog and then just publish when you are connected again. However I didn't realize that my friends have been commenting on my posts because the app doesn't show readers comments. Just something to consider to make this great app even better! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Crashing *2021-01-01, version 4.3* Since I tried opening on my new iPhone 12 max it crashes ### 1/5 — Worthless *2020-07-12, version 4.3* Wouldn’t let me log in with my newly created ID and refused to accept my google info. It’s going in the trash. ### 1/5 — Skip it *2014-06-16, version 4.2* I tried this app after having used TravelPod and one other in the past. I specifically wanted an app that was easy to write entries in, easy to upload photos/videos to, and then easy to share on Facebook and in a printed book form. TravelPod failed on the book count last time, so I gave Off Exploring a try. Here's what I found: 1. The interface and posting is clunky. You can't post pics without wifi, and the blog had problems updating when I would write an entry. Once you start losing entries, it's a FAIL. 2. Upload one pic at a time? I don't think so. 3. Videos never uploaded. Ever. I really don't have any pros for this app. Try TravelPod or simply use an online blog. It's certainly better than this! ### 1/5 — Awful *2013-08-13, version 4.2* Slow, takes forever to download photos. And, the process would stop completely and I would get an error message and have to reload the same photo, more wasted time. Now, I am stuck on the photo album page. I touch the plus sign to load another photo and nothing happens. I touch my only other alternative, photo album, and nothing happens. I am locked into this page. Apparently I cannot download photos from my Apple device without using this app and since the app is locked, I cannot complete my blog. And, one final thing, why was I directed to a phone app for my IPad? The site only fills about 2/3s of my screen. Too bad, this is a great program on my Dell but apparently they are not ready for the big time with a workable app. ### 3/5 — Good enough *2012-08-08, version 4.0* We have used this app two years in a row for our family road trip and it has done the job. It does have a lot of request errors when trying to upload video and it has only worked with wifi access. Still worth it. ### 3/5 — Too small for the iPad. Option: use the online version. *2012-01-03, version 3.0* Neat app for a hand held device. Too small for an iPad. Can't turn the screen nor enlarge it. No help function. Key pad is too small if you want to work off of a larger key board like the iPad. Like I said neat app but made for a smart phone. I suggest to do to their website and use the online app if you have an iPad...... Nice user interface. Intuitive. Has the flexibility I was looking for! ### 3/5 — Pretty helpful *2011-08-16, version 2.1* I like how simple it is to use the app. ### 3/5 — Muito bom *2010-10-31, version 0* Só precisa melhorar a função offline. ### 3/5 — App locks UPDATED !! *2010-06-06, version 0* Thought this might be an alternative for some of the other blogs, The app loaded fine and logged into my account, It. seemed to work fine after I created the initial blog on line. ALL POSTS REQUIRE A LOCATION or the app wont post. It would be better for security reasons if this was optional. I havent figured how edit postings once they have been uploaded, they have to be deleted and then recreated. With these issues in mind I still am raising my rating to a 3. There are still better blog writters out there. ### 4/5 — Overall a good product. *2013-08-21, version 4.2* I had a few hiccups getting started but for the most part, I am happy. I do with the itinerary management were a little more detailed. For example, instead of one giant itinerary, maybe I could create a new itinerary for each trip. I would much rather organize that way. The app is great though and being able to blog both on the app as a blog or vlog is very cool. I highly recommend. ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Easy to Use & Long Lasting App *2019-05-09, version 4.3* I was delighted to see my old fav is still around. I last posted for our 2014 trip, and everything is still there & ready for our new one. Users need to spend a few minutes getting used to the wat the app works, but after that it's a piece of cake. Write and post a blog entry, add pictures, send address to your family & friends. ### 5/5 — Great App *2012-06-12, version 3.0* Loved the ability to post photos & stories for families & friends to enjoy with us. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2012-04-10, version 3.0* This has made updating blog while traveling extremely simple and quick. ### 5/5 — Documenting Road Trip *2011-07-03, version 2.1* This App has been so awesome during our month long road trip from the East Coast to the West Coast! We've loved documenting our adventures with pictures and that it keeps track of our wherabouts. It's awesome that it posts to Facebook too because our family and friends have loved reading about our trip as we go. ### 5/5 — Off exploring. *2011-06-14, version 2.1* Great app. The interface is very easy to use. It has helped categorize and log all of my pictures and entries. It is also very easy for my friends to follow along with my journeys while I'm abroad. ### 4/5 — Following The Mother Road *2013-05-06, version 4.1* Posting a blog was easier on my laptop than with my iPhone. But once I got the hang of it the app worked smoothly. I had to remember to take a photo with my phone (I rarely do). You can't publish a blog without a photo. ### 4/5 — So good so far *2013-05-03, version 4.1* This is my first time using the app and I found it a little difficult to figure out, but once I got going all seemed to go well. I'm planning on using it during an upcoming trip to Russia and will plan rating it again after this adventure. ### 4/5 — Outstanding! *2012-05-08, version 3.0* Was such a good way to record our trip across country! Recommend it! ### 4/5 — Great way to keep in touch abroad *2012-03-31, version 3.0* This app is really amazing, however it lacks some very basic things: Ability to type in landscape mode. Notification for new comments on blogs/pictures/etc. Otherwise a very very handy and intuitive application.
