The trip planning does not work at all. I wanted to support this app, but the basic functionality of planning a trip is very bad. You can only add flights that actually exist. So if you have an overlay somewhere you need to add the last direct flight lag to your final destination. Then you can't add destinations by their coordinates or marking them on the map. I wanted to add a farm in Namibia and the app forces me to locate this place in Windhoek, which is just wrong and makes it unusable.

I have to say: nice app, but the way the pictures are sorted is catastrophic.. In every other app, like galleries, what's app etc everything works well. As soon as I try to find my marked pictures in Polar steps or with the gallery browser everything is mixed and makes it very difficult and exhausting to find the right pictures. I would love to select them in my gallery and share them with the polarsteps app or similar but not to select the pictures in the app that's horrible

Love the App. Love sharing our adventures with friends and family without it being open to the public. And the easy printing into final Photo albums is just the best bonus on top of it!! Only remarks: - the location is always stuck to the first step of my trip. Have to update it manually for every new step. - there is no way to save the photo album to continue editing the next day or so. That would really be cool.
