### 1/5 — Not properly maintained

*2025-06-29*

The app is OK but it could be better. It doesn’t seem like anyone actually cares to maintain the app. For example the Travel option adds weird times, often saying that things are our apart when their minutes apart. When I go to delete the travel in between activities, it always adds itself back eventually. So now I have all of these weird commute times in between my activities that don’t make sense and make the itinerary look sloppy. When I went to try to report this in the app by selecting “report a bug/get Support”, it said that the page was not found… smh. Do better.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2024-09-11*

This app is great. Easy to use and has so many great features! Definitely plan on using this app to plan my next trip!

### 3/5 — Cross compatibility

*2024-04-17*

I’ve been using this app to plan my bachelorette party and I love this app but I can’t share my itinerary with half my girls because it’s not compatible with android, Samsung, or google phones. Not everyone has Apple so it’s best to make your app cross compatible for all devices.

**Developer response:** Thank you for using our app and for your feedback. We are fixing known bugs and hope to launch in 2025 on Android. We wish you all the best.

### 1/5 — Very difficult to use

*2023-11-27, version 6.13.4*

Need improvement

### 4/5 — Overall good but some hiccups

*2022-05-01*

So far I am liking this app very much. I am using it to plan a trip to London and with the exception of o e bug I am finding it useful. 

When adding an activity to a daily itinerary the transportation menu only gives you walk,car,bike as options and excludes public transportation. Once you have added the activity you have to select the travel time in the itinerary and switch it to public transportation. 

It would be nice if the app tied into Google maps and calculated transportation time rather than relying on the person to figure it out.

**Developer response:** Hi Jemiaule,

We’re stoked to know you’re enjoying our app so far. 

Thank you for your suggestion regarding public transport. We’ve been trying to find a way to facilitate this for some time. Even as we use our own app, this has always been an issue and we always have to use at least another app to plan days with transit involved. Unfortunately, tying the product to Google Maps will force us to compromise certain functionality, such as offline use, since Google doesn’t let us cache their data.

We’re currently working on an interface solution to make it easier to add public transport - most likely coming in the next major update - and are actively looking for a public transport data platform to make it possible to plan both activities and transit in the same app.

We hope that the next release will at least partially address this and that we can find an elegant solution in the medium term.

Please let us know if there’s any other feedback you have and we’ll gladly take it into account as we build out Tour. Thanks again!

Best wishes, 
The Tour Team.

### 5/5 — Looks great, super useful.

*2021-11-21*

Great for people who enjoy outstanding graphic visuals as opposed to bland black and white itineraries thrown together on Google docs.

### 3/5 — It’s Okay.

*2020-05-07, version 2.0.2*

Pretty user friendly interface and easy to use. However, when I enter dates and activities it often doesn’t save and ends up getting deleted when I go back to look at it for some reason.

### 5/5 — Best travel App

*2019-09-17*

I’ve used this for my last 5 trips. I’m never going back to TripIt!

### 5/5 — Beautiful

*2019-09-09*

I am absolutely blown away at how beautiful this app is. I am building apps with the same technology that the developers of this app uses, and I admire them for being able to pull this off so well.

### 4/5 — A lot to love but room for improvement

*2019-07-10*

I’ll start with what I love:
- Beautiful UI with nice details throughout
- Does a great job of using location photography and the UI to make the places your going exciting (compared to a lot of overly utilitarian apps out there like TripIt)
- The map with lines to where all you’re going and the sequence is awesome and something I’ve really wanted on past trips before finding this app
- Easy to discover places to go in the city you’re going

What still needs some work:
- When searching for places to add, the font size is too large and cuts off the right end of names so it can be hard to tell which is which (like with hotel names that can be different locations for the same chain)
- Before getting to exact times for each place you want to go there needs to be a staging step where you can add locations w/o time to decide on which you want to go to, then add a time or to the timeline after sharing or knowing for sure you want to go. 
- The drag and drop is frustrating currently because as you add more places to the timeline it ends up making existing ones shorter instead of pushing them to the next hour. Having to go back and make something that became 10-15 minutes (which very few events make sense to be that short) and resizing them doubles to triples the time it takes to add all the events.

What would make it a 6 star app:
- Having hotels in it is fantastic...but why not the flights? If you’re going to multiple destinations it leaves an odd whole in your timeline to not have the flights and be able to plan for how early you need to checkout of the hotel or how much time you have for other stuff.
- iPhone is great for while you’re traveling, but an iPad version would help a ton for planning the trip and seeing the details of locations and events with more room.

**Developer response:** Hello,
Thank you for your review! We’re delighted to know you’re enjoying our app so far.
The staging step is a bit difficult to integrate on iPhone without compromising the planning experience, but we’ve definitely been looking at different ways to add that in the near future (currently slated for version 2.0).
We’ll look at optimizing the drag and drop algorithm and will see if we can figure out a way to fit the entire venue title in. Thank you for pointing that out!
Our very next update is centered around transportation between destinations, and we will try our best to integrate an interface for flight / train booking soon. iPad optimization is also on our list.
Once again, thank you for your feedback. Feel free to reach out if there’s anything else you’d like to mention.
Best wishes,
The Tour Team.
