UniteTrip is the companion app for group trips run on UniteTrip: pilgrimages, retreats, tours and mission trips organized by parishes, ministries and travel groups. Sign in with the account your organization gave you (or create one) and everything about your trip is on your phone: • Itinerary - every day's plan, with your own private notes and the events you're joining. • Trip chat - talk with the whole group, share photos, react and reply. Works offline: messages send when you're back on Wi-Fi. • Photos - the trip's shared album, with comments. • Balance - what your trip costs, what you've paid and what's still owed, trip by trip. • Registration - register yourself and your family for a trip, and update your registration answers. • Family - manage the people you travel with. • Sign in with Face ID, keep the app locked, and see every device you're signed in on. • Notifications when you're mentioned or replied to, when a registration is approved and when a payment is recorded -- with quiet hours, and a per-chat setting. Trip chats are private to the people on the trip and moderated by the trip's organizers. You can report any message, photo or comment, and block anyone whose posts you don't want to see. UniteTrip is free for travelers. Trips are created by the organization that runs them -- on unitetrip.com, not in the app.
