Must Have App

Love this app. The tracking is amazing and such a great and fun way to journal a trip as you go. Also super handy to allow family and friends to follow so you don’t have to send a bunch of individual messages while you are on vacation!

A record

This app is the perfect way to record our travels, both in photos and text. It’s so easy to go back and look when trying to remember a special place you have been. It helps an aging memory!

Really enjoying watching my friend’s journey on a motorbike across Canada on Polarsteps. He takes backroads for the most part and shares photos, videos and comments. I hadn’t heard of Polarsteps before and think it’s fabulous.
