The Polarsteps application allows users to automatically record their travel routes without the need to constantly interact with their phone, simply by keeping it in their pocket. It is designed to be energy-efficient, ensuring it doesn’t drain your phone’s battery, and it functions offline, making it convenient for travelers without constant internet access. Additionally, the app prioritizes user privacy, giving full control over who can see your travel information and data.
The app offers curated guides called Polarsteps Guides, created by both travel editors and fellow explorers. These guides highlight the top destinations and tips for travelers once they reach their chosen locations. Users can plan their trips with an itinerary planner that allows for editing and customizing their travel schedules. To facilitate smooth transportation between destinations, a Transport Planner feature provides clear options and routes for getting from one place to another.
During trips, Polarsteps automatically tracks and maps your journey on a digital world map, which expands as you visit new places. Users can enhance their travel logs by adding photos, videos, and personal thoughts at each step, enriching the memories they create. The app also allows you to save favorite spots, ensuring you can return to them easily in the future, creating a detailed and personalized travel record.
Sharing features enable users to contribute tips to the travel community, helping others discover great destinations and experiences. You can choose to share your journey with friends or family or keep it private, thanks to comprehensive privacy controls. You also have the ability to follow other travelers and enjoy their adventures. Additionally, the app offers a relive feature that lets you revisit your journey, view your photos and travel stats, and compile a Travel Book of your trip with just a tap, making it easy to relive and showcase your travel memories.
