Why People Switch from Polarsteps

Real frustrations that drive travelers to find something better

Loved tracking my trip, but needed 3 other apps to plan and book it. Why can't one app do everything?

Incomplete travel solution

Wanted to share real-time updates with family, but sync issues meant they saw old data for days.

Unreliable real-time features

GPS tracking failed for half my trip. Lost those memories forever. No way to recover.

What Polarsteps Does Well

  • Beautiful travel journals with automatic GPS tracking
  • Physical travel books printed from your trips—meaningful keepsakes
  • Nice community and social features for sharing adventures
  • Simple interface focused on capturing memories during travel

When Polarsteps might be right for you:

You specifically want physical printed travel books, or you're focused purely on trip tracking and journaling after the fact.
