★☆☆☆☆ Stay away. They broke a good service.
I used TripIt for years. It was a reliable service.
They recently started banning access from VPNs. They lock you out of your account when you need to get critical information about your trip.
If you’re doing the safe thing while travel…
★☆☆☆☆ Junk
Maybe if you pay for it it works but otherwise this app does nothing but take up your information and space…

🌍Geographic ReachNot ranked
This app is currently outside the top 100 grossing in all 9 countries we monitor (US, UK, DE, FR, JP, CA, AU, BR, IN). Niche or new apps often launch this way — popularity rankings appear once daily revenue clears the regional threshold.
Profile is built from iTunes Lookup + developer site scrape + ML revenue model. Empty fields show "Not found" — additional sources (Crunchbase, X, IndieHackers, Acquire.com) coming.
