Planning a trip with friends and nobody can agree on where to go? crooom settles it in three minutes of swiping • and the group decides together, not the loudest voice in the chat. HOW IT WORKS Create a trip project and share the link. Everyone swipes through 248 curated destinations independently, on their own phone. A place becomes a match only when every single person has liked it. No majority vote, nobody outvoted, nobody defending a choice in the group chat. FOUR WAYS TO DECIDE • Swipe matching: everyone swipes, matches appear automatically • Self-choice voting: one person shortlists, the group votes • Known destination: skip the decision and go straight to planning • Round trip: pick several stops for one journey PLAN THE REST TOGETHER Once the destination is set, the planning happens in the same app: • Day-by-day itinerary with times, places and estimated costs • Expense splitting: who paid what, who owes whom how much • Map for hotels, restaurants and highlights • Shared photo album for everyone on the trip • Document safe for tickets, bookings and passports • 5-day weather forecast for your destination FILTERS THAT MATTER FOR A GROUP Continent, budget and trip type: beach, city, mountains, culture, adventure, romance, party, islands and nature. Keep a wishlist, and mark the places you have already been on a world map. WHO IT IS FOR A weekend away with four friends. A family holiday where everyone wants something different. A ski trip, a bachelorette weekend, a round-the-world route. If your group cannot agree on a destination, that is the one problem this app solves. CROOOM PRO Crooom is free to download and free to use with all core features, for trip projects of up to 5 people. Crooom Pro raises that to 15 and removes the limits on photos, documents, places and activities. Available as a monthly or yearly subscription; the price that applies in your country is shown before you buy. The subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the period in your App Store account settings.
