Wanderlog for iOS and Android - Mobile-first collaborative travel planner and mapper

Hi PH! I’m here along with my twin brother/co-founder @harry_yu1 and the Wanderlog team (Catherine, Dawn, Gabe, Namphuong, and Oliver) A little over a year ago, we graduated from Y Combinator and launched Wanderlog’s web app right here on Product Hunt, which helped us get our first users and funding. We’ve learned so much from all your comments, and are proud to launch our Android and iOS apps here today! To recap: we built Wanderlog to replace the tangle of tools (Google Docs, Google Maps, Tripadvisor, etc.) that you’d typically use to plan a trip. It’s designed to be useful no matter how much you plan, and where you do it - whether it’s on your computer, or now, on the go on Android or iOS. Wanderlog brings it all together: 📄 It’s a document with real-time collaboration: invite your friends! 🗺 It’s a map: visualize you trip & see places you want to visit along with any other notes ✈️ It’s a flight/hotel tracker like TripIt or Google Trips: send us your confirmations or connect your Gmail account, and we’ll attach them to your trip plans 📚 It’s a guidebook: view high-quality travel guides from the web and other users for inspiration As a travel app in the time of COVID, we realize it's a bit of an odd time, but plenty of folks are still going on road trips as the summer winds down. So we've adjusted and: 🚗 Made it road trip-friendly - see your route with lines between places and use travel time estimates to better plan your route (plus you can add unlimited stops for free!) ✨Refreshed our interface so it’s more intuitive - separate general lists from detailed itineraries and view your map and lists in one view, since you're often planning sequentially ➕Added more context info for each place - in addition to opening hours and user ratings, now see how long people spend there, its address, website, and phone number We’d love to hear what you all think of this latest app redesign! Is there anything missing that’ll prevent you from switching away from your spreadsheet or Google Maps? Email me at peter@wanderlog.com or just leave a comment here! I can’t wait to hear from you. -- From the whole Wanderlog team (pic from our last offsite together!)

I helped Peter build Wanderlog! Here are a few annoying things with planning trips in Google Maps and other trip planners that we tried to solve with Wanderlog: - Adding notes in Google Maps and most trip planners required a ton of taps. We made adding places and notes as simple as typing into a Notion or Google Doc - A lot of other trip planners force you to start planning your trips day-by-day. I just dump places that look cool into a big list, and then only arrange it later. Wanderlog is designed for both super-careful travelers and people who wing it more like me - Using Google Docs or Google Maps requires a lot of switching between apps. This new version makes the map and document live on the same page. You can view a full-height document, a half-height document with the map covering half the screen, or no document with a full-screen map for total flexibility To be honest, our old app was OK, but this new version is the first one I'm super happy about!

This looks amazing, go team @wanderlog I love this app so so much!!!!

Your app is really cool guys! Congrats on the great job 👏

I'm biased (as one of the developers), but as a user I think the new app makes trip planning so easy and fun! So many features and things you can do in one simple view. I just used it to plan a road trip with some friends and it really was a game-changer!

I'm definitely feeling major wanderlust from being stuck indoors for this long. Very cool to see the road-trip-friendly features! I know a handful folks that have been on RV trips recently and am considering venturing out myself (and if nothing else living vicariously through the app).

This looks really promising! For how many trip planning apps there are, they always fall flat for me and I end up back on my note taking app.

I've been using Wanderlog for the past year or so, and I really think it's solving my problems of: 1) planning my trips out how I want to, and saving recommendations from friends for later 2) referring to these recommendations and plans during my trips. Can't wait until I can travel again and use these new apps!

Congrats on the launch!
