Alternative to TripIt = TripWaffle

I don't use apple or gmail emails but outlook so had to sign up with my gmail. All the notifications from my friend's trip come to the gmail and I asked him to change it outlook but now I don't get anything. Is there a workaround or do I just need to keep checking gmail as well

If you go to Settings > Account and put your Outlook address in "Notification email". Everything we send will go there instead of Gmail.

Go to Settings > Email aliases and add your Outlook address there too:
tripwaffle.com/settings/email-aliases/

This will help with the trip your friend shared with you.

After that you can also sign in with your Outlook address using the email link option, and you'll land in the same account.

Any issues, feel free to hit the support option in the app.

My TripWaffle App icon has the little red dot containing the number "1" which, presumably, means there is a notification of a change to one of my itineraries. However, when I click on the icon it just takes me to the dashboard or the last page I had open, with no indication what the change is; and look as hard as I might, I can't see any change or what it is trying to tell me.

Assuming it is a notification, it would be helpful if clicking on the icon took me straight to the relevant part of the App.

I believe that dot means there's a notification still sitting in your phone's notification tray.

To see what it was, swipe down from the top of your screen.

Tap the TripWaffle notification and it will take you straight to the relevant page. Or swipe it away, and the dot should disappear.

Android seems a bit varied in how it handles these things, ie. I don't get the dot/badge on Android 16.

I believe it's also a global setting called "Show app icon badges" that can be enabled/disabled.

Thanks for the response. When I swipe from the top of the screen there is nothing re TripWaffle. I presume it's something to do with my phone .

As you say , Android can be variable; I'm also on 16 and I do get the dot.

I'll play around with the phone and see if I can work it out.

Thanks again .
