One travel app for all your adventures. Plan, track, and relive your trips, now with a revamped, beautiful world map and the option to travel together.
Hi PH community, any fellow travelers here? 👋🗺️
I’m Job, one of the founders of Polarsteps. It’s been almost ten years since our launch on PH and our app has changed so much that we’ve been eager to share an update with you.
It never felt quite like the right time, but we’ve been busy launching a succession of massive new features and redesigns to our app that we’re really excited about. They’re all meant to help you make the most out of your travels. That’s why we figured that now would be a great time to ask for your feedback.
So, what’s new in the Polarsteps app?
🌍 Automatically track and plot your travels on a completely revamped, beautiful world map. Add photos, videos and stories from the road and share your journey with friends and family (or keep it to yourself, you have full privacy control).
👯 Travel Together: our most requested feature has finally arrived! You can now create trips collaboratively with up to 5 friends.
🗺️ Plan your trips with our free travel guides to 400+ world destinations, curated by expert editors. Directly build your dream itinerary with our travel planner.
📚 After your trip has ended, create a unique printed Travel Book at the touch of a button with our improved editor, filled with your pictures and stories.
We couldn’t be more excited about these new features and would love to hear your feedback. What’s your number one feature we should work on next? We’ll be hanging out in the comment section and are happy to answer any questions you might have!
I found you guys organically while traveling around! Fun to see you launching again on PH, all the best w the roadmap 🔥
The writing style is a bit more suitable for posting on social networks. 🆒 This tool sounds really romantic. I'm a recording enthusiast, and being able to turn travel experiences into books sounds really cool.
I personally think that the generation of books can also leverage AI capabilities, like editing the table of contents.
hey @jobharmsen, loving the new features, especially the one that lets you create trips collaboratively with others! I have been using Polarsteps for longer than I can remember (I even have the early adopter badge on my profile).
congrats on the updates!
@jobharmsen congratulations 10 years is no small feat, what are your plans for the next 10 years ?
hey @jobharmsen, amazing stuff with polarsteps!
the automatic tracking and ability to create unique travel books sounds game changing, can't wait to see more improvements.
The new features like the beautiful world map and option to travel together sound fantastic. Looking forward to using it for my next adventure. Great job!
Congrats on the new features! The collaborative trip planning sounds awesome, especially for group adventures! The automatic travel tracking feature looks super useful too. Do you guys have plans to add more destinations or languages to the travel guides? Can't wait to try it out!
The idea of automatically tracking travels! It makes sharing memories with friends and family so much easier.
The concept is amazing behind your travel books. Turning memories into something tangible like a printed book feels special, and I love that it’s so easy to make one.
It can awesome if I could sync flight or hotel reservations directly into my trip plan.
Keeping track of my flights and transportation details in the app would make things so much smoother for me.
I love exploring new places, and suggestions for nearby attractions would be a great addition.
Congrats on the exciting updates, @jobharmsen! 🎉 The revamped world map and the ability to travel together sound like game-changers for travelers! I can't wait to try out these new features. Here’s to many more adventures ahead! 🌍✈️
It could be fantastic to see integration with local transport alternatives for easy navigating when exploring new places.
Hi Job, thanks for sharing the exciting updates! The revamped world map and the Travel Together feature sound fantastic. How does the privacy control work when sharing trips with friends and family?
