Tripomatic Trip Planner & Maps

I used to plan to my trips using trip advisor, however they took away the ability to schedule items within each day of the trip. I tried using Google Trips, Tripline, and any other app that was recommended for trip planning. Sygic is the only one I have tried which had all the options I needed. Some of the features I appreciate include: being able to select multiple types of transportation for each day. If I am trying to plan a route on google maps for a day it won’t let me switch between using a car and using public transportation. Sygic let’s me decide for each destination whether I want to drive, take public, transportation, etc. The app also estimates based on the activities and routes how long of a day it will be. I used to manually estimate how long I would spend at each place I wanted to visit based on googles average for how long people spend there. Sygic automatically has an estimate for each travel site already. Also those times can be adjusted if needed. The premium feature of printing trips to PDF is also great. The PDF looks great and includes the travel guides for the cities you are visiting. Overall the app has everything I want from a trip planning app and I looking forward to continuing to use it for many more trips to come!

I am writing this review from my hotel room in Venice and have been traveling throughout Europe. I cannot explain how invaluable this app has been to me thus far. I paid for the premium version and it was well worth it. I have had cell data turned off my entire trip but this app has helped me navigate the complicated streets of several cities despite having my data turned off (I don't know how- but it is not using data). It is amazing, i planned my entire month long trip using the app. When I had questions, I emailed the developers and received prompt responses. It has been the best purchase that I have ever made from the App Store. I highly recommend it!!

I really want to like this app but I find that I can’t trust it with my trip plans. After landing in the UK from the USA, this app moved all my events one day ahead. Maybe this is a time-zone issue but a world travel app should handle things better. After moving them all back manually, the map filtering still filters based on the wrong dates so my itinerary view is not in sync with the map view. My trip companion who is sharing my data on her iPad still sees the dates wrongly also even after I’ve manually corrected them on my iPad. Another thing that is quite terrible is that there doesn’t appear to be a way to put the same item in the trip on multiple days with different time settings. For example, if you want to put the airport in for your arrival and departure, editing the time will change it on both days. The searching seems quite bad also. Many times the app can’t find what I am looking for, but if I zoom in on the map, suddenly the item is there and I can click on it to add to the trip. On the positive side, the app has neat workflow, allowing itineraries to be built up with nice visualization on the map. It also makes it easy to discover nearby items of interest. If this app could be bullet-proof in handling trip data, this would be an amazing app and would be a big part of my tip planning. As it is, I don’t feel that I can trust it.

Just started using this app and I like how easy it is to plan your itinerary out. Even share it. The biggest problem I have is being able to use my choice of navigation. I’d like to be able to use Google Maps or Apple maps for directions but it forces you to use their GPS solution, which then requires an additional purchase to get turn by turn directions! Update: User error. Sygic actually uses Apple’s way of doing their settings so it wasn’t apparent to the user. Support is correct and you can change the default navigation app. Home Screen/Springboard > Settings > Sygic Travel. Amazing. The only issue I have is the app should walk you through an initial setup to get these things sorted out. With this fixed definitely an app I could recommend to others. Transferring my itinerary back to this now. Thank you!

I tried TripIt, but I couldn't figure anything out. Google Trips was pretty good for finding info, but I couldn't share or get maps. I like Sygic's map feature with the little pictures to click on (but some pictures don't match the place). I'm able to share my trip with family, and that is great. I also like the mode of transportation option. However, if you are looking for a specific place and don't have the EXACT name that Sygic has it listed, it's difficult to find. I wish it was linked to a search engine that could help decider what I meant. For instance, I could not find Hotel Moderno on the Puerta del Sol in Madrid even when I put in street address. (Lots of others popped up from different places). I finally found it when I clicked on "accommodations" and it was listed as just "Moderno" Or looking for the Ratoncito Perez museum, I looked up Ratoncito Perez, but couldn't find it until I put the official name Casa Museo del Ratón Pérez. I paid the fee for premium, but the info isn't stellar, just ok. So I'm not getting rid of my Google Trips app just yet. I still think the sale price for the app was worth it, I do like the map and sharing feature.
