Don’t want to lose best bits of your travel adventures in your social stream? Get a digital travel journal! It’s a great way to document the places you’ve been and keep family and friends in the loop too.
What is the Tripcast App?
It is billed as a living journal for your friends back home, designed to document travels with ease. Compared to the likes of Facebook and Instagram Tripcast provides an ego-free platform for choosing to share with your nearest and dearest, and of course building an awesome travel journal for posterity while you’re at it.
What does the Tripcast App do?
It allows real time updates of images and notes. It can be linked to other users, so great if you are travelling in a group, and it allows you to put everyone’s posts in one album. The only people who can view it are those you invite – so you are free from the prying eyes of the public masses or your 10,000 social media friends. Those you invite can comment and ‘like’ on any post made and can interact through the website. Lastly, the app automatically tags the location, so you can later view posts by where rather than when and download the whole lot when you get back home.
Who is the Tripcast App for?
This app is really great for young adults going off on their first solo trip, or on a backpacking adventure with mates, because it will help parents trying not to feel nervous feel connected. Obviously, the kids want to share their amazing time with the folks back home, but they will also like the fact they don’t have to check in every 15 minutes to let the folks know they are safe!
What do the Tripcast App reviews say?
All in all, lots of praise for this app and it’s simplicity. iPhone users are definitely happier with how the app works for them, but it appears that the developers have ironed out a range of issues that were affecting Android users, so maybe there will be better reviews from the Android crew soon. The app is free, so definitely worth giving it a try!
