Great for backpackers
This is a great app for backpackers that are going to be going lots of places with lots of different modes of transport. I love this app so much
Amazing trip planner!
This is an amazing trip planner especially if you have a lot of things in your agenda. I just planned a 9 day wine tasting tour with friends and was able to share the itinerary and map with them without extra work. And honestly the mapping feature is pretty amazing. I will be using this again
Update - planned three more trips with friends and I cannot imagine planning a trip with other people without using this tool. It’s amazing during the brainstorming, scheduling and executing sections of the trip

Good but falling behind
Pebblar is my second-favorite app in this category. It does a lot of things right, and I especially like its ability to collect brainstorming ideas and then add them to a final itinerary.
The interface is a bit cluttered and confusing, however, and the app doesn’t quite handle all the fundamentals as well as some competitors. The app has also crashed on me several times, and produces audio feedback for every button click, which can’t be turned off and quickly becomes annoying. The web interface is better than the app in almost every way.

Amazing App
Used this to plan our trip, super helpful specially if you are going to a lot of places you’re not familiar with. It helps you group them together.
Website is far better than the app
The app is difficult to use. Delete buttons are very close to the X (close buttons). App hangs when editing place notes. If Pebblar was judged solely by the app experience then hard to see it survive given the competition in this space.
Response from developer
Sorry about your experience! I think the editing note issue has been fixed and your other issue of the delete button has been noted :)
Hard to Read Text and Use
The text is quite small throughout and I don’t have bad vision. You’re forced to create and account before you can even try it and you can’t use apple or gmail etc. I had to try several times to click on the really small sign up text as it was so small and close to another option.
The interface is quite busy and the map never centres on anything relevant. It’s hard to move the map without hitting other things and when you let go it snaps to a different zoom level. It also drew a random straight line between two itinerary points that didn’t even connect them - likely a bug, but fairly major one.
I wanted an app to create a trip from a list of things / places, but this only works if you know your order already so I could do the same with notes and a few map links. I think back to just notes.

Overall I’m liking this and the company’s ethos but needs work:
Please make an iPad version as this loads in portrait mode which is useless. But oddly it will sometimes change to landscape. But then revert back to portrait (my iPad is locked disable).
A daily and monthly calendar view so you can see your itinerary by date to adjust how long you want to stay somewhere. It’s easier to work out when you can see the bigger picture as to where you want to go
Should be able to switch destinations around if we discover we want to go to X city first instead of Y.
Would be good to add new destinations in between each other. Eg if you want to squeeze in another place.
Each destination should have ONE edit function to edit all the various things to that destination -method of travel, dates, etc.
Design wise needs work, when I started entering destinations because the keyboard is up the filled in options disappear into the top so I can’t actually select them. I had to go to my browser to add them in

Best app
Love this app. So useful. Has everything you need from a travel planning/itinerary app. Could recommend to anyone
Pretty good
If you have used google map trip planning feature, this is the plus version of it!
Easy to use and digest travel info, and they are always rolling out new features!

HI there! Thank you for letting us know. This has been fixed :)
Glitch was fixed within 12 hours
There was a major glitch that occurred on the app causing me to be unable to use it for the first day of my roadtrip I had planned (and paid for). Nan was very helpful in making sure the problem was resolved in a timely, professional manner. The glitch did screw up the first day of my trip, but now that it’s fixed, the app works perfectly and I am happy to continue to use it!

Hi Micheal, as per our email exchange, it was a system glitch which was fixed within 12 hours of first occurrence. Really sorry about the inconvenience caused. Nan
Great app for planning a road trip
This is a great app for planning a road trip - I planned my round GB trip using it and it was really easy to use. Also when I had a query and used the “contact us” function, unlike some companies I near enough immediately started a conversation with one of the companies reps.
I made a few suggestions which they said they would take on board.
I’m really happy to extend the trial and pay for the full version.

Fantastic no-frills app
Pebblar is a great no-frills app for travel planning. It calculates mileage between stops, lets you pick your method of travel, input hotels, dining, and points of interest from a database (and I didn’t run across anything that WASN’T in the database). Has a great expenses breakdown chart feature. You can download all your trip data in case you lose mobile service while on your trip. And you can purchase a one-time trip so you don’t have to pay for an expensive yearly subscription like with other travel apps — this is great if you only travel once a year like I do. There is also a companion web app. My favorite feature on the web app is the “print” function, which sounds odd, but it spits out a PDF containing everything under the sun! Maps, daily routes, daily lists, overall itineraries… so great. Developer is extremely responsive to questions and feedback. I’m very glad I found this app for planning my summer road trip.

Doesn’t open
The app loads to a screen that tells me there are two kinds of tabs in the app. I cannot click out of this screen and get to the app itself. This is literally all it is.
Response from developer
Hi there! I am really sorry about that confusion, we will add a swipe icon in the next release.
Pebblar
So the concept is great but the app itself is kinda buggy. The UI has panels with instructions that don’t go away. I’ve been using it to plan a 10 Roadtrip. It would be nice if it functioned more like a regular calendar with the map on a separate panel like it set out to do. Also on the computer you can reorder the route much easier.

Hi there! Thank you so much for letting us know. We are always looking for ways to improve. We have also noticed a couple of bugs and have since released a new version with those bugs fixed. In terms of your two additional comments, I have sent you an email, it would be much appreciated if you could elaborate a little more on them so we can get those fixed. Nan
Easy and intuitive to plan an itinerary
It’s one of the best tool for travel itinerary planning. Consolidating map view with the travel itineraries and notes in an intuitive and easy to navigate interface, makes the trip planning process less daunting.
The key is to consolidate important notes associated with a particular place and time all in one app.
