I love the app and would be happy to put 5/5 but adding the "past" trips has issues: - "search"does not find many places, e.g. I want to add a trip to Iceland but there is nothing found when searching by "Hjálparfoss", I can find this location by name e.g. in Instagram and Google maps but not in polarsteps :( and it's also really hard to find it on the map since there are no location names on it - there is no way to make your path between the points stick to the roads, it's always a direct line

It's an excellent app! Functionality is perfect... I really like that I finally can have my travel diary, photos and even map locations in one place. Edit: It DESPERATELY needs an option to only upload over WiFi or to not automatically sync!! I've accidentally used loads of data because I didn't realise it just starts uploading as soon as I'm connected.

Really great idea for an app - basically combining social media stories and travel blogs, making it easy to look back on memories from your travels. The globe with the steps marked is a great way to visualize it as well. But the app can be a bit slow at times when loading steps, and especially videos.
