Nowah vs Wanderlog

Why People Switch from Wanderlog

Real frustrations that drive travelers to find something better

Spent 4 hours building an itinerary manually. Then I had to open 3 other apps to actually book everything.

Planning-only frustration

Lost all my trip data when the app crashed. No backup, no recovery. Weeks of planning gone.

Data loss and stability issues

The manual setup is just too complex for casual trips. I don't need a PhD to plan a weekend getaway.

Overcomplicated for simple trips
