### 2/5 — Upload issues

*2026-08-17, version 4.3.4*

I have to say I’m traveling where internet isn’t great but isn’t that the point of this app; to be able to share your trip as it’s happening. What I’ve noticed is the upload is inconsistent. Sometimes works and sometimes it’s just plain broken and I have to start over. The frustrating thing is that if I have to start one over then the whole set has to start over. Which is crazy because they don’t show to the end user as a set. I have to rewrite all my messages and everything. It’s really frustrating.

### 5/5 — Holy aura

*2026-07-12, version 4.3.4*

Tripcast is tuff

### 2/5 — Lots of problems

*2026-04-27, version 4.3.2*

It seems the app wasn't really tested and debugged. So many little things that keep failing.  Often we get errors even trying to update 1 picture.  Alerts are buggy and lots of other errors and failures.

### 1/5 — Happy user now unhappy user

*2026-02-04, version 4.3.1*

I have created and bought numerous books from this AP with high satisfaction. I am trying to create the 5th book from a trip and the photo selection has ceased to scroll for me to add pages on the 5.5” glued soft back book requested. I need the program specialists to resolve this issue. I have spent some 5 days trying to get help from cluster support without a solution to the problem. I would appreciate a resolution to this problem.

### 3/5 — One month in…

*2026-01-31, version 4.3*

I’ve been using this app for about a month as I study abroad. It’s often difficult to upload multiple photos from my phone and sometimes this occurs with just one photo. I’ve also noticed that photo quality isn’t as good as Apple’s native app. The location feature is a cool idea, but you have to set the location in the Apple photo app, using Apple Maps. Point is, it’s annoying that Apple Maps isn’t the greatest and you can’t update the location in the Tripcast app. There no way to edit items without deleting them. And if you add a caption to the images/videos, the system will claim it’s a comment instead of a caption.

### 5/5 — Finn’s Adventures

*2025-11-30, version 4.2.5*

Fun

### 1/5 — Freezes on uploads.

*2025-11-07, version 4.2.5*

Waste of money.  Feels like a ten year old interface and freezes like one.  I want my money back.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2025-10-21, version 4.2.5*

Makes nice little photo books for as little as 15$

### 1/5 — Flagged photos

*2025-10-12, version 4.2.5*

I was thrilled with Tripcast until the last day of our group trip to New England. Someone misunderstood what flagging a photo meant. I posted 104 photos and labeled most of them. The last day one person went through and flagged a lot of my photos. Now they are all darkened with a flag in the middle. When I click on the photo, it tells me who flagged it and there is only a message asking to remove the photo. That was an extremely disappointing end to my trip. I cannot see the photos I posted to show my friends and family. Short of me deleting them and reposting most of my 104 photos, I have not found a way to undo this mess. 
There needs to be a better way for people to use this app and understand that when what flagging a photo means!!!

### 3/5 — Ok

*2025-10-09, version 4.2.5*

Like the format but upload of videos with a weak wifi signal is impossible.  Can’t edit posts once submitted which is annoying if you have typos
