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!

Congrats on the launch! The all-in-one travel app with a stunning world map and the option to travel together makes planning and tracking adventures easier than ever.

Hey Job, this is truly amazing! 🌟 As a fellow travel enthusiast, I can't express how excited I am about these new features. The revamped world map with automatic tracking sounds like a dream come true, and the option to add photos, videos, and stories while maintaining privacy is just perfect. The Travel Together feature is something my friends and I have always wished for, and I can’t wait to start planning collaborative trips. The free travel guides and itinerary planner sound like they’ll be incredibly useful for crafting the perfect adventure. And the ability to create a printed Travel Book is the cherry on top — such a fantastic way to keep memories alive. Kudos to the Polarsteps team for these brilliant updates. Looking forward to diving in and exploring all the new features. Keep up the amazing work! 👏🌍✈️ @jobharmsen

Really nice app with amazing UI/UX 😎 Congrats on the launch 🚀

Hey Job, The collaborative trip planning feature is a great addition! I'm wondering, how does Polarsteps handle areas with poor internet connectivity? Is there an offline mode for tracking when you're off the grid? Congrats on the launch!

This app looks nice and is so useful for travelers around the world, I can't wait to try it soon! Congrats on your launch Job

Congrats on the launch, @jobharmsen ! Love how Polarsteps makes it so easy to track and share travel experiences.

The travel guides look super helpful for anyone wanting to explore new places without getting lost in research.

It’s a unique way to relive adventures and share memories with friends and family.

The interface look user-friendly, and I can’t wait to try out the travel tracking feature.

Hi @jobharmsen, great tool for planning your travels and checking up on your family and friends while they are traveling. Quick question: what security measures do you take for the "full privacy control" data?

It’s awesome to hear about all the exciting updates to Polarsteps, Job! As a fellow traveler, the new features you’ve added sound like they’ll really enhance the experience for those who love to explore the world and document their journeys. The automatic trip tracking and revamped world map make it easier than ever to visually plot travels, which is something I know many of us travelers value—especially when we want to relive or share those memories. The new Travel Together feature is a fantastic addition, especially for group trips. It’s always been tricky to manage shared itineraries, so this will definitely make it more collaborative and fun. The travel guides and planner feature also sound like a great way to streamline trip planning, and being able to print those travel books after a trip ends is such a personal and special way to memorialize the experience. As for feedback on what to focus on next, perhaps expanding on the collaborative aspect further—such as real-time location sharing or group notifications during trips—could be useful. It might also be cool to have integration with local insights or recommendations from other Polarsteps users based on destinations you’re visiting. Really excited to see how Polarsteps continues to evolve! Keep up the great work! 🌍✈️​⬤

Polarsteps is an exceptional travel app that truly enhances the way we plan, track, and relive our adventures. With its beautifully revamped world map, users can easily visualize their journeys and share their experiences with friends and family. The option to travel together adds a social dimension that makes planning trips with loved ones more enjoyable and interactive. One of the standout features of Polarsteps is its user-friendly interface, which allows travelers to document their trips effortlessly by adding photos, notes, and routes. This not only helps in keeping memories alive but also serves as a fantastic travel journal that can be revisited anytime. As a constructive suggestion, it would be great if Polarsteps could introduce more personalized recommendations based on users' travel history and preferences. This could enhance the planning experience by suggesting destinations and activities that align with individual interests. Overall, Polarsteps is a fantastic tool for any traveler looking to make the most of their adventures!

It seems helpful to planning trip.

Followed the travels of some of my family members through Polar Steps. Great to keep track of where they've been, what they've seen and experienced.

Looks great! It would be cool if there was an opportunity to use Ai to generate routes to planned countries with places that are a must-see. I wish you a good launch!

It would be great to have more detailed offline maps for remote areas.

I loved following my girlfriend's hike trip on PolarSteps! Time for us to explore the rest of the features, so far we focusses on the journalling of trips. I love the idea of having a book printed after our trip!

Love the new collaborative trip feature! Makes planning with friends so much easier. Can't wait to use it on our next adventure 🌍✈️

I just discovered Polarsteps, and I’m really impressed by the concept and the beautifully designed UI! The ability to automatically track and plot trips on a gorgeous world map, collaborate with friends, and create printed travel books is such a clever idea. The app looks like a must-have for travel enthusiasts. Congrats @jobharmsen !
