Cool app, tracks things really well and keeps record of your visit. Would like to add, Great Britain is NOT a country. When tracking countries, England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland are separate places and should be given the respect of their own identity, as they have fought for. P.S should fix this. It screws up your country count too, which is annoying.

Very cool app for tracking a trip. I'm using it for a cruise. While I really like it and its easy to use, sometimes when at sea, the phone GPS gets crazy location info from the ship Wi-Fi and I'm struggling with removing the track that shows me returning to South America from Easter Island. when I actually went on to Tahiti. The help function isn't very robust.

I've tried a couple different journaling apps now that I've retired and have been traveling. I did not find any as good as PolarSteps. Easy to use and so versatile, journal my thoughts and impressions, photos, videos, ability to attach website, and the sharing feature for my family & friends back home to track and enjoy my adventure as I go. def a 5 star experience
