Your trip is scattered across a dozen apps. Tickets in email, the hotel in a booking app, a restaurant in a screenshot, ideas buried in a group chat. By the time you land, you are digging through six apps to find one confirmation. RoamDrop gives all of it one place to land. DROP IT NOW, SORT IT LATER Share screenshots, PDFs, tickets, links and notes straight into your Travel Inbox. Nothing has to be filed the moment it arrives. BUILD DAYS WHEN THE PLAN IS READY Move things out of the inbox onto a simple board, one column per day. Drag a card where it belongs and the day rearranges itself around it. DOCUMENTS STAY WITH THE CARD The boarding pass, the voucher, the confirmation code: attached to the thing they belong to, ready on the morning you need them. IT READS WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE RoamDrop picks out dates, times, addresses and booking codes from whatever you drop in. Recognition runs on your iPhone, not on a server. Every field stays editable, and you can always type it yourself. WORKS WHERE YOU TRAVEL Offline by design. Your trip opens on a plane, in a hotel lobby, and in the country where your data plan gave up. YOURS, AND ONLY YOURS No account to create. Trips, documents and photos stay on your device and in your own iCloud. We cannot read them, because we never receive them. SHARE A TRIP WITH THE PEOPLE ON IT Invite a partner or a friend through iCloud. They open the same board, and you decide whether they can change it. ROAMDROP PLUS AND TRIP PASS Planning is free, and so are your first 3 recognised cards and 1 whole plan. After that, RoamDrop Plus, a yearly subscription that renews automatically until you cancel it, or a 90-day pass for one trip opens the rest, for everyone in the trip.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Simple Trip Planner at every 2 days against RoamDrop's every 10 days. RoamDrop's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
