Pinplanet is a free travel app where users can pin the places they’ve traveled on their personalized planet. These pins can include travel dates, spots hit, reviews, photos, and travel buddies to catalog every detail of your trips (so you actually remember them). Your home feed is where you’ll see where in the world your friends have pinned. We have an explore page where you can search for and follow new friends, and see where other travelers have pinned so far to inspire your future trips. You can even copy pins/spots directly on to your wishlist. Your profile includes your planet that shows all of your pins in each country at once. The profile also includes your travel stats including percentage of the world’s countries and percentage of the world’s continents. Finally, pinplanet’s wishlist feature allows you to begin planning upcoming trips which can be converted to a pin when you return.
