Alternative to TripIt = TripWaffle

"compact" mode now live (enable from the top-right drop down menu).
Occupies around half of the vertical space as the default.
More iterations needed, but ok for a first cut.

Also: field customisation, in terms of what shows on the trip timeline (settings > display) ...

Cheers!

The "compact" option does not appear on my drop down list

Apologies - needed to clear the cache on our end. Should be live now after you refresh / tap around.

I really like the compact version...if I want more info, I can then expand

Ha, I have real issues with it. But I also have issues with the light mode, which my wife swears by, so what the hell would I know.

Around here, that is referred to as "SWMBO" - She who must be obeyed.

I've got a bug report for the widget on Android. It's showing events in strict chronological order, rather than the order they appear in the app.
So, for example, if your hotel check in time is before your flight to the destination the app correctly has the flight first then the hotel. But the widget will show the hotel first then the flight since check in opens prior to the flight.

Great work on the compact view as well. I have a big phone (S25 Ultra) so I'm still using the standard view, but my mate on his smaller screen S24 loves it.

Appreciate both those points thank you. Good catch on the android widget ordering; it has now been addressed.

So I’m now using TW live on a trip with a reasonably complex itinerary ( air, train and land). it’s working very well and certainly easy to use and customise compared to TripIt.

I use the full version, but check the compact version each night for a couple of days ahead to make sure there’s nothing major. I’m not anticipating.

Forwarded a walking tour later this month to Tripit and Tripwaffle...Tripit had a dummy spit as below but Tripwaffle filed it in exactly the right spot!

New feature I'm quite partial to; on connecting flights we'll now show you a map and rough distance of the gates involved...



Caveat: dependent upon tripwaffle determining both gates involved, which typically occurs 30 min to 3h before the plane reaches the gate (we'll send a push notification on touchdown with the info)

Nice app thanks. New feature request: aircraft type alongside the airline and seat info. Seat info is always type dependent, so would be useful. Thanks.

There plenty of elite flyers here ... need to factor lounge visits/locations on connections.

Maybe they could put a link to lounges available

Would could be useful is if you put in your airline status and access via Priority Pass etc, you were given the list of lounges available that you can access. Additional helpful info would be lounge ratings and proximity to arrival/departure gates.
