    I had a problem accessing my Polarsteps account. Their support team listened to my complicated issue and together we were able to fix the problem. I was delighted to join my friends after our trip as a “ buddy” and could enjoy the trip write up and pictures. They are awesome!!!

    I select “plan a future trip” but the only dates I can select are in the PAST. So I can’t even review more than this because at that point it’s useless.
  • So easy and convenient

    This is a great app. It allows me to post my trip so my friends and family can share my journey. It is easy to use and I like that is is on a map so you can see where you are in the world.

    I found PolarSteps through a search on Gemini while looking for an alternative to another similar app that requires a subscription for videos. I love it - easy to use, no fees, I can add steps within a trip easily to separate activities/days. Highly recommend!
  • Great, Fun, Free app

    I never leave reviews. However, I’m currently halfway through a long, 3-month trip. And Polarsteps is one of my favs. So glad a friend recommended it It’s such a great way to not only track and relive parts of your trip, but also an amazing way to Keep up w friends & family back home. You upload however you’d like, and you can send the link to ppl back home so they can follow along. They don’t even need an account. 10/10 app, 0 complaints
  • Best Travel App 💯🙌

    It’s been fantastic using Polarsteps throughout my journey. The app’s sleek, intuitive design makes it easy to track each destination, add photos and memories, and keep everything organized without interrupting the trip itself. It’s also a great way to share the journey with friends and family. Polarsteps turns a collection of stops and photos into a beautiful travel story, making it both a practical trip journal and a lasting record of the adventure.

    Not user friendly for two people trying to use one app to share our memories from two different phones. App would not allow both the contribute to the same trip album and allow each other to edit a stop or both contribute pictures. When we want to designate a location for a step of the trip, I.e Kensington Palace and Gardens….i had to just choose London. If I wanted to choose Borough Market, I had to just choose London. When I was looking for Piccadilly Circus, it selected Australia. I’m in London. Maybe I chose the wrong app for what we were hoping to accomplish. I’m in too deep and can’t figure out how to solve any of these issues. Unfortunately, it’s just not working out in a user friendly way for what we were hoping. I wish it would zoom in on where we are with all the areas of London and easily identify where we are each step of the way. I think there is potential, it just isn’t there yet. Please fix these issues ASAP.
  • To my surprise, I love this

    I am NOT a person who posts. I figure it is no one’s business where I am and what I am doing. But at the request of a family member, I agreed to try doing something for a long distance walk through France. Polar steps has been quite great. It is simple to use, private, and the friends and family who can access it have enjoyed following the trip. As an extreme skeptic, I would definitely use this again. Kudos
  • A great way to tell stories!
