Name: Trip Journal
Quick Pitch: Real-time travel sharing through Facebook (Facebook) & Smartphone GPS – Broadcast photos and videos live from your vacation!
Genius Idea: Trip Journal is a mobile app for iPhone (iPhone) and Android (Android) that lets you capture photos, video and route marks of your vacation as it happens. You can then share your trip with your friends and family via Facebook, Flickr (Flickr) and Twitter (Twitter).
Trip Journal 5.0 has just been released for iPhone and Android, and it adds full Facebook support for you to export your trip, your photos and your route to your friends. Your friends can then comment on your trip in your Facebook stream and also make comments to items in your Trip Journal directly.
Trip Journal is a really great app for users who might be traveling abroad or covering lots of area because it uses your phone’s built-in GPS to give your photos and places a location and marker on an interactive map. That map, which can even be exported to Google Earth (Google Earth), can act as a running log of your trip. You can go back later and add tags, descriptions or notes to the images, but everything associated with your trip is kept in one easy-to-access and attractive place.
One of the things that really impresses us about Trip Journal is its design. The app looks beautiful on both iPhone and Android. In fact, this is easily one of the best-looking Android apps we’ve ever seen.
What’s also great is that when you export your trip to Facebook or Google Earth or upload videos to YouTube (YouTube), the overall look and feel of Trip Journal can become a part of those services. In other words, your friends following along on Facebook get the same sort of vintage-scrapbook feel as you do in the app.
The app is $0.99 for iPhone and $2.99 for Android. If you’re planning on a vacation this summer and want a way to chronicle and share your adventure, you might want to give Trip Journal a try.
