I love the app and it works great generally. I am documenting a year long journey and i can recommend it! Ome issue ive started to have recently is that it wont log me in and gives me an error. Sometimes its a few days like that before it works again. What causes this? It makes it hard to document my steps at the moment. Edit: It has not happened in a long time so ill update my review to 5 stars!

Please add an autosave function for drafts. I've lost my work three times now and it's starting to get annoying. I lost my draft once when I clicked a notification FROM polarsteps! Not even a popup to ask if I wanted to save! The draft option is there to mess around, or jot some things down right? It's not usable like this. Aside from that, good app.

Hi Daniël, thanks for your feedback and sorry to hear you lost your draft three times now. That indeed shouldn't happen! Can you give us more information, including your trip link, app version and more information when this issue occurred at [email protected] so that we can investigate? We'd love to hear from you!

The app is overall nice and its fun how you can write stories and pictures of your travels. One very annoying issue that keeps happening is that sometimes the travel tracker randomly stops tracking my travel without warning me and then later on I find out I'm now missing a part of my journey on the travel tracker/map. I keep having to reenable it periodically and it doesn't warn me that the tracker is turned off either.
