Excellent idea with very poor execution
This app is an excellent idea with very poor implementation with regard to its uploading process. There are 3 major problems: 1) Uploading photos often fails. The app blames the failure on “unstable internet connection” but it has occurred for me in many different environments (including areas with rock solid internet) on several different devices (iPad, iPhone and MacBook Pro). 2) Compounding the frustration, when the uploading error occurs, the captioning is lost. The post just disappears and has to be recreated. 3) The third problem is that the app reorders the order of uploaded photos and captions. So a storyline cannot be maintained. The workaround is to post photos one at a time - thus annoying unnecessarily those who are on the distribution and have notices enabled.

Upload issues
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.

Holy aura
Tripcast is tuff
Lots of problems
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.
Happy user now unhappy user
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.

One month in…
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.

Fun
Freezes on uploads.
Waste of money. Feels like a ten year old interface and freezes like one. I want my money back.
Easy to use
Makes nice little photo books for as little as 15$
Flagged photos
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!!!

Ok
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
Freezes up
I have a difficult time uploading and downloading pictures in this app using my iPhone. I have selected and edited pictures up to three times before giving up. It looks like pictures are loading then but then it just freezes up. I repeatedly have to remove and reinstall the app. Unfortunately the groups I travel with only use this app to share pictures. Many times there are people who want one of my pics so I send them by email rather than by the app. But when it does work it can be nice !

Liking this app
Easy to set up and quite user friendly. Good chance to share pics and comments with others in a private forum.
Adding people is hard
I had about five people at the beginning, but then I wanted to add two more. They are not getting the messages that it says it is sending. They keep checking and have no invites. I would love any info or help about that.
Upload Losses
I have created comments for so many freaking posts on wi-fi, only have them dropped. I am so beyond frustrated with this app.
App doesn’t work as advertised
Our travel group decided to use Tripcast to share photos. Others are having some success. It doesn’t work for me on a current Mac.
Clicking on the Post button yields an error message: “Too many redirects.”
Same result in both Safari and Firefox
Their customer service is non-existent.

Can’t even enter the app
The title says it all I have an account on my phone and I’m trying to log into the account from my iPad but it won’t let me.
It’s ok
I was going to use Tripcast, but you can’t edit posts, which is really frustrating. Otherwise I do like the app, but I decided to use a different app that allows editing.
What for
Can’t edit pictures. A waste of time don’t need 450 photos 435 aren’t worthy
not a good place to store memories
I highly recommend that you do not use this app to store memories of trips. Main reason being that all photos and videos that are uploaded are compressed way too much and they end up looking very, very pixelated and horrible quality. because of this lots of memories have been gone because the pictures are no longer recognizable, even though they were shot on like the best camera ever.
