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!

Hi Job, thanks for sharing the exciting updates! The revamped world map and the Travel Together feature sound fantastic. How does the privacy control work when sharing trips with friends and family?

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?

I found you guys organically while traveling around! Fun to see you launching again on PH, all the best w the roadmap 🔥

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.

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!

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!

hey @jobharmsen, loving the new features, especially the one that lets you create trips collaboratively with others! I have been using Polarsteps for longer than I can remember (I even have the early adopter badge on my profile). congrats on the updates!

The concept is amazing behind your travel books. Turning memories into something tangible like a printed book feels special, and I love that it’s so easy to make one.

@jobharmsen congratulations 10 years is no small feat, what are your plans for the next 10 years ?

I saw this in my weekly PH email and had to leave a review. My wife does not use any social media. She wanted to share our recent European trip with friends and family and found this app. It was brilliant; she and all our friends and family loved it. I cannot recommend this app highly enough.

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

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

The idea of automatically tracking travels! It makes sharing memories with friends and family so much easier.

hey @jobharmsen, amazing stuff with polarsteps! the automatic tracking and ability to create unique travel books sounds game changing, can't wait to see more improvements.

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!

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.

Travel influencers would love to use this

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

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! 🌍✈️​⬤
