No longer reliable
So sad to day goodbye to Tripit but it’s entirely unreliable. You’ll spend more time fixing the apps itinerary errors than booking & planning your trip!
Nah
Was good 15-20 years ago but they got acquired and stopped doing anything useful. As well as the tired user-interface and server outages, they closed third-party integration with no explanation in 2024. There’s much nicer apps now and some integrate cleanly with AI chatbots via API and MCP, none of which TripIt offers because it’s frozen in 2010.

TripIt Grab It
I didn’t think this would be much use or make much difference, I was wrong!
Must-have for frequent travelers
The closest I’ve found to a perfect all-in-one trip organizer. In the last 2.5 years I’ve had ~30-35 trips and that wouldn’t have been doable without TripIt alleviating the most common part of travel anxiety (staying organized). Forget about manually adding calendar entries, trying to keep up with which reservations Gmail/iCloud automatically imported versus not, managing lodging, tickets, which travel power adapter to bring, etc. Throw everything into TripIt and you’re instantly organized, subscribe to the travel calendar it creates and you’re done.
Improvements I would suggest; One, which is mostly cosmetic, is better multicity support to bridge trips. I’m often torn between deciding whether a flight belongs in the trip I’m “departing” or in the next one to which I’m arriving. It’s mostly cosmetic but on the travel calendar I usually want to see the “new” destination/trip in the all day event rather than both, and it would make sense to have the flights be visible in both trips within the app.
Two, adding support for custom formatting options on copied/shared itineraries. I’m often sharing itineraries to people who don’t use TripIt (and with whom I don’t want to share my entire travel calendar) and it would be nice to have some prettier styling options for emailing. As it is I’ll use copilot built into outlook to reformat the itinerary into a table view I prefer before emailing.
Lastly would be an option on flights to mark them as “not mine” and then excluding them from the “trip start/end” dates - I want to track others’ flights in the trip, but “my” trip start date might be a day or two after theirs.

I used to love this app
I’ve used TripIt for a long time and really like the app. It has been my go-to travel organizer because I can forward confirmations from airlines, hotels, tours, activities, etc., and have everything organized in one simple chronological itinerary. Unfortunately, since changing to a new iPhone, the app has become almost unusable.
Initially, I could not log in at all. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app, tried with my VPN on and completely off, changed VPN protocols, and eventually the next morning I was suddenly able to log in again. All my existing trips were there, but now I cannot save any changes. Every time I edit an itinerary, I get: “Unable to save changes at this time. Please try again later.”
I also tried logging into TripIt through Safari and Chrome with the VPN completely disabled, and I cannot log in there either. So this does not appear to be simply a VPN or app installation issue.
I really don’t want to switch to another travel app. TripIt does exactly what I need and I already have several upcoming trips organized here. I’m posting this review hoping the developers see it and can help identify what is happening with my account. Please help me resolve this issue.
