Alternative to TripIt = TripWaffle

[Daver6]

Apparently there's nothing photo worthy in Launceston

Leave it with me - I know what the issue is. And thanks for reporting!

Notice I have a trip to Tassie. One night in SYD followed by LST and HBA. Image shown is Uluru.

I didn't know the photo thingo had changed, but noticed it recently killed the majority of images for the lesser travelled places (i.e Flinders Rangers, Airlie Beach, Tasmania(?)).

It's a bit of a work in progress, but I'll look into this one.
We're deriving location from accom/flights but we don't determine exact location of events for historic trips, so it may be a little funky in this case.

Instead of a map of tasmania

Trip photos: so we tried to get a little too fancy with determining an umbrella location based on accom/flights/etc
Rolled back to basing the photo off the trip title.
Editing the trip (pencil icon in footer) will give you some ability to pick a different photo though.
Please give it a day or two to stabilise.

New feature we're trialling for upcoming trips, at the top of the trip timeline...



We'll attempt to auto expose any gaps in an itinerary. e.g. missing nights of accom, flights, transfers, etc
It will hide once the trip begins.

Another new release is trip documents. Accessible via widget at the top of a trip....




We already had event specific docs, but this is for more general documentation e.g. eSTA/ETA/Visa stuff, insurance, or whatever.

You can also email these pdfs/images to robot now to have them end up in the right place.

At present the ios and android apps cache *event* docs for offline viewing. Caching of *trip* docs will be in the next releases.

Is there a way in TripWaffle to indicate whether or not I am a traveller on the Trip? In TripIt I had a bunch of trips from a family member that I tracked. I suspect the stats from their trips are included in the overall stats

Successfully imported all of mine from Tripit but as the post above I have all the trips that were shared by friends which I would like to differentiate to sort out the stats

Can't reliably detect that from the tripit data, however simple win: there's now a toggle switch in 'edit trip'



Hope this helps.

@tripwaffle I'm adding/editing some historical data/flights, and this one from 2006 isn't having it's flight duration calculated correctly:


It should be 3h 25m? Not sure where it's getting 2h from? But I guess this will affect the stats too?

Don't judge me on Jetstar, I was a backpacker and didn't get my flight game together until a few years later

Ha, you haven't lived until you've flown a Jetstar flight to Bali.

Thanks for picking this up- turns out we had the "Australia/Hobart" timezone associated with around a dozen secondary VIC airports instead of "Australia/Melbourne". Ordinarily this wouldn't matter, however for pre-2008 dates, Tassie's DST started ~4 weeks earlier than Vic's

Should be fixed now anyway.

Great feature! But there are quite a few inconsistencies on my upcoming trip - might be how I've treated 'location'. I'll review and point them out via a report.

Ha, you haven't lived until you've flown a Jetstar flight to Bali.

One of the horrifying things I've discovered by editing old trips is how many Jetstar flights I took in the 2010s (mainly HBA-MEL-HBA). I used to tell myself I never did.

I've been following this thread for a while and ported all of my Tripit data across with no issues. A few glitches but all sorted out by the team quickly.

Today was my first flight, and it was an interesting day. Melbourne pea-soup looked like it might upend my day, but in the end my flight landed almost 20 mins early! The flight tracking worked well, and alerted me to the early landing before the crew announced we were preparing to land.

All the briefings and alerts worked well. A particularly nice one is the alert telling me my plane had arrived in Sydney about an hour before my flight. Always pleasant news!

Overall, glad I switched.

A couple of feature requests if I may @tripwaffle

Would it be possible to select multiple event to pin to the organiser?

Can the organiser remember what's been pinned until it's unpinned?

At present if I pin all my 2017 trips, then create a new trip called "Sydney work" and move the relevant flight segments into that trip, hit save, and return to the organiser, it shows only my upcoming trips.

I then have to reselect those I want to organise.

Give it a crack now

This is so much easier to edit with. Thank you.

One small thing I spotted during an edit is that it's not recognising DOH for Doha... but does accept DIA.



Edit: and another feature request. Is it possible to broaden the photo search, or allow users to upload their own. I've had a few trips to Alice Springs and the auto generated image is:

I've got DOH = Doha OK for both TripIt imported future and past flights and new ones created in TW just now.

DOH replaced DIA in 2014 and I think this might be a symptom of FlightRadar24 import tagging old entries DIA. Regardless, now migrated all to DOH.

I'll dig into this tomorrow. One hack for the meanwhile is append "Australia" or "NT" etc to the query...

Google & Apple sign-in are currently our only two options. Rationale: if you own an iPhone or Android phone you are already using one of those two methods to access the App/Play stores, plus it means we don't have the security burden of storing login passwords.

"Couldn't find your Google Account" is an error from Google indicating there is no Google Account attached to that email address. I'd suggest trying whatever email address you use to access the Play Store on your Android device.

If you have an existing TripWaffle account I'd be happy to investigate further if you can provide your numeric user id (tap the avatar in the top-right).

Thankyou. No, I don't want to attach another profile to my devices. While I have used multiple google profiles in the past, I did away with that as it caused me more problems than it solved.

@tripwaffle, I will cancel my account with you. While it works for me brilliantly on a desktop, to use Tripwaffle I'll need to have multiple profiles on my device and that isn't happening.

This has been forced on me; I am on a three week multy national trip and emails I have been receiving from tripwaffle have links that links fail as I am unable to go further as it will not work on an android web browser. This for me is a security issue as will not use trip waffle with the account I use to access the PlayStore. I work one profile to one device.
