💬 User Pain Points23 unmet · 0 resolved

Travelers are frustrated that they cannot input their Airbnb reservations into the app, limiting its usability for non-hotel accommodations.

it isn’t compatible with Airbnb reservations and you cannot put in anything but a hotel/business.

Wanderlog - Travel Planner

Users are frustrated that they must agree to receive promotional emails before they can access the app's features, which feels invasive and unnecessary.

To use the app, you HAVE to accept promotional emails from them.

Visited: Travel Tracker & Map

Many users are upset that they cannot log cities they have visited unless they pay for a subscription, limiting the app's functionality for free users.

You have to pay to add cities which in my opinion is the basics of this app.
