Alternative to TripIt = TripWaffle

[tripwaffle]

Seemingly a bug: I imported an SQ booking by email, then I sent through the later seat selection confirmation email. The latter data, although confirmed as processed, are not reflected in the itinerary.

Please contact us through the app so that we can investigate the specifics with this one.

I'm one of those who really dislikes being forced into auth via Google, but I understand your argument in favour. At the very least, I do not want to use my Gmail address as my actual correspondence address. There should be the option to nominate a different email address for receiving notifications from Tripwaffle.

Let me look into this, but I'd generally suggest enabling push notifications in the app as it will preference that channel over email, plus it's better for timely alerts such as gate changes, etc.

Finally, is there any way to import old trips from... TRIPCASE? I have all my old data from that in their exportable Excel spreadsheet before it shut down.

First time it's come up- but we'd be happy to attempt a one-off import for you, if you're comfortable sending the export to tripwaffle at fastmail dot com

Appreciate the feedback!

Sorry, by "notifications" I meant more directly all email communications from Tripwaffle, but I do think travel notifications can be valuable by email too -- though I can certainly understand that travel-in-progress notifications are mostly better delivered through the app.

Thank you re the other issues. I've emailed/messaged.

Also- today we pushed a data export feature: available within the settings section.
At any time you can export all your trip/event data from the waffle, as structured JSON.

We hope this helps reassure the folks who have some concerns about our longevity, plus demonstrate our general commitment to not being jerks

Just want to add a recent ++ve experience with @tripwaffle ... I have Google "real" login for life /email stuff plus "travel" login for travel etc. on both android and apple (personal / work) devices.
Dev was super-responsive to add option for Android app to enable select Google account rather than auto-default to main Google account

Umm.. one question @tripwaffle - interested to know why Trip Waffle??

Not that I'm complaining but I note Tripwaffle takes circa 5 seconds to launch. I'm assuming this is because its downloading much of the base code (which admin is changing quickly) every launch.

Just wanted to check if this is being done on a modular basis, and/or a check as to whether user has the latest version. Noting that admin is very responsive and we are getting lots of updates.

(Alternative delay might be because I have 100 trips?)

combination of memorability and domain name availability. wanted to avoid the standard route of:
Tripora
Travoo
Voygo
Wandio
etc etc

Cold launch (app hasn't been opened in awhile) may take a few seconds to cache the various assets.
Warm launch (app has been opened within the past day or two) should be near instant.
Number of past trips should not affect this speed.
I'll run some performance tests today though and take a closer look.
Are you on Android, iOS or web out of curiosity?
