I'm looking for a decent TripIt replacement for a long time. I tried every trip organizer app available on the market.
Judging from screenshots I can say that Google Trips looks promising, but the thing is I can't create a trip. It's buggy and useless for me right now... and how much I didn't want to write their support and put some time in resolving this case Google is known for its ugly support.
Hi @otarch.. you could maybe give Faros a try. We think that the process of creating a trip is very simple and clear: https://www.producthunt.com/post...
I have been TripAdvisor offline cities for this stuff, but it's wasn't very polished and felt heavy to use. And definitely didn't have much personalized infos (flights, hotel bookings, friends recommendations). It seems like a nice replacement for it.
I used the beta version during my europe backpacking trip and it was a lifesaver. On the day before I travel, I download the city for offline usage and I know I am more or less prepared. It provides all the critical information (currency/ transport options/ emergency contact no.), and a good starting point to survey all the popular places - all in one app. Oh, and it automatically all my trip reservations for accommodation and transport.
@leejien Hey Jien, We have just launched Mitty, which will be a good addition to having Google Trips. Mitty allows you to access all essential travel services when travelling around the world: https://www.producthunt.com/post...
Get activity suggestions based on what’s nearby, customizeable day plans, and your travel reservations from Gmail
Looks like the most complete app Google has made in a long time... Still hate material design though.
Is there really no way to manually add reservations and activities? That kinda sucks since gmail is unable to read the emails from my corporate travel agent (which also go to a work account, not personal gmail). Otherwise, all the offline content looks great. My IT person will love the reduction in out-of-country data.
This is great, I'm always using my phone without a sim card so having multiple GPS location pins "SAVE" offline is a plus +.
Hmmm this certainly has the potential to be a useful product but my email is powered by Google Apps which is not currently supported and my Google account is not linked to a gmail account so I can't currently use most of the functionality. I'll stick with Tripit for a while longer and hope they take a step up and improve their platform
@trekforever Using Faros and its boards you could share them with anyone you choose. You can even decide if they can edit the content or just view it. Take a minute to check it out https://www.producthunt.com/post...
This is impeccable execution! I love how all the elements Google has been working on (Maps overlay, inbox pulling your trips, google now getting info about flights etc.) all come together so neatly :O
@kzynakamura Check out Mitty as well. We just got featured in PH as well: https://www.producthunt.com/post...
This might be competitive to the recently announced Airbnb Live There down the road (no pun intended).
@rrhoover just wait till they get your Google Flights in there. Companies like Skyscanner could be properly hurt. Inbox by gmail is also powerful to see your trips with their cards. It made me stop using Tripit in an instant.
@bjorn_bakker @rrhoover Same thought - just used Inbox during a recent trip and was super handy. Wonder if Google decided to spin the Trips tab of Inbox into a dedicated product based on seeing some success with it.
