TripIt: Travel Planner App Reviews

Love TripIt Pro! In fact, as I travel 50% of the time for work, I live by TripIt Pro! Pros of the Pro version that I use almost every day: - Others in your "inner circle" (e.g. my wife) are notified of new travel plans, and can see your travel plans, even if they are using the free version. - All my airplane trips are monitored, with me notified of delays, often faster than the notifications from the airline apps or texts! - Im given alternate flights, so when things go wrong I know exactly what my options are, before I talk with the airline rep. - Your inner circle can see your flight statuses (even if they are using the free version). - The seat tracker integration is great. If Im stuck in a middle seat on a cross-country or trans-continental flight, seat tracker tells me the instant a window or aisle seat opens up. Things in the free version I use all the time: - TripIt has all my travel plans in one place, no need to bounce from app to app looking for hotel addresses, etc. - In Outlook 2016, i subscribe to the TripIt iCal, so all my plans are in my calendar. What makes this better than the Microsoft or Google inbox monitoring, is that each reservation (flight, train, hotel, etc) is listed on its own: not the whole time in between! Cons of the Pro version: - Yes, it is relatively expensive. All the Pro features (except monitored trip sharing) are available in other free apps. The difference is that TripIT puts them in one place, monitors your flights, and shares all that with your loved ones. - TripIt should monitor train trips too (for how much it costs) with statuses (on schedule, delayed, etc). Amtrak has this feature in their app, so the data is available! - The same goes for other train travel, both commuter and regional (including other countries). The data is available for a bunch of local, country-wide and regional train systems, like French SCNF, Swiss SBB, England, NJ Transit, New York MTA MetroNorth, New York LIRR, Boston MBTA, Chicago MTA, in their apps. No reason train travel shouldnt be monitored in TripIt.

I want to love this program. It organizes trips well. However do not rely on the flight notifications because they are not updated appropriately. Example - today they are showing my flight today from Orlando as running on time. That flight was cancelled over 24 hours ago due to the hurricane. Ive had many other instances of not keeping up with delays until well after flight takes off. Need a lot of improvement here.

Ive used TripIt for several years now, and I love it as a "wallet" to track my trips in. Very convenient on my iPhone and iPad. Two points: 1) On the iPad, I wish it would work with the size classes so I could have it in one window while I cut-and-paste information. When I use a B&B instead of a hotel the TripIt people cannot parse the email (cant blame them, To many unique formats). Also its nice to be able to have it when your browsing to figure out other things you are doing on your trip. I end up using the calendar app and having my TripIt calendar visible there, but it would be nicer to do this with the app. 2) I had signed up for TripIt Pro because I had a few trips coming up. After two trips in the free trial period, I realize it added nothing to my travel experience. I already get notifications from the airlines I used, so that feature was not helpful to me, and I didnt use the other features. Other than those two points, a great app.

Not goid

I have tried on both my phone and iPad to change my user settings. Need to delete an old email address and add a new one. Settings is totally unresponsive and does not allow changes. Same with user profile. I used to use app all the time while traveling. Now is worthless. Need to find a replacement

Im a digital nomad and thought this would be perfect for round the world travel. I dont think this app is bad for the road-hound in the US or someone who uses Sabre or some other corporate booker to have everything in one location. Unfortunately, TripIt falters in its automated/email feature for adding hotels and activity confirmations. Because that functionality is under-developed, it leads people to have to manually input these types of itneraries - a tedious effort at best. Also TripIt did not add any of my flights from a number of common international booking agencies which again made me add manually (Note Tripit, if I have to do something manually, could you make it easier to do?). Last item is that as a previous reviewer noted, the trips dont always update in a timely manner. I dont believe this is due to internet connectivity but also cannot tell whether it is an app or a communication/data issue from the airlines.

Very useful convenient app. I even use it to track other peoples flights so Ill know if theyre on time.

Brings everything together in one place.

Love this app and when I travel I travel with Tripit.

I love how it integrates all my travel plans and also that I can check-in straight from the app!

Easy, logical, seamless coordination of all travel plans.

Excellent app. Putting your travel info into one, coherent place is beautiful. Works effortlessly. Nice job!

I love this app because it saves reservations from emails so you dont have to think about saving travel plans. Definitely cuts out a lot of extra work. Plus, when traveling its really easy to look up a flight time or confirmation number. If I traveled just a little bit more it would really be worth paying for the upgrade but it works great even for free.

Very simple, I could not live without TripIt. It keeps me in check.

On all my business trips it saves me so much time to have all the data in one place. Plus text alerts to tell me when flights are delayed and hate changes really are amazing.

Just forward your reservation email your itinerary shows up in the app and your calendar.

Ive this app and have used it for years.

This app works great. It pulls things from my email. It makes it seemless so I do virtually nothing and have my trip details all in one place.

I have had the basic app for three years and love it. Easy to add reservations and plans. Just forward data to app and its entered for you

I love using Tripit. Great to coordinate with others .
