Highly recommended apps for managing shared itineraries?
Wanderlog, TripIt, Google Maps and Stippl are useful options for managing shared travel information, although they approach the problem differently. Wanderlog is well suited to collaborative leisure trips, with day-by-day itineraries, maps and saved places in one trip. TripIt is particularly strong for organizing structured booking information such as flights, hotels and transportation. Google Maps is ideal for flexible trips where friends mainly want to maintain a shared collection of places they might visit.
Stippl provides a more visual planning experience combining travel ideas with itinerary creation. Many groups also pair one of these apps with Splitwise or Tricount for expenses. The best shared itinerary is usually the one everyone actually checks, so simplicity, mobile usability and easy invitations can matter more than having the longest feature list.
