How TripShare works

Everything you can do in the app โ€” from creating your first guide to sharing it with the world.

Creating a guide

Start a new guide in seconds. Set your destination, pick a language, and choose your trip type.

  • Enter destination city and country
  • Choose guide language โ€” required before publishing
  • Pick up to 12 tags: City Tour, Hiking, Beach, Road Trip, Foodie, Family, Budget, Luxury, and more
  • Set visibility: Public (anyone can discover it) or Private (access code required)
  • Cover photo with adjustable vertical crop
  • Guides start as drafts โ€” only you can see them until you tap Complete Guide

Day-by-day itinerary

Break your trip into days. Each day gets its own card with as many stops as you need.

  • Add unlimited days, each with a custom label
  • Each stop has a name, address, notes and photos
  • Tap any address to open it directly in Apple Maps
  • Reorder days and stops freely with up/down arrows
  • Tap a day heading to rename it

Custom sections

Beyond the itinerary, add any kind of content your guide needs.

  • List โ€” bullet-point items (packing lists, restaurant recommendations)
  • Note โ€” free-text travel notes and longer descriptions
  • Gallery โ€” photo collections to showcase a place
  • Map โ€” visualise all your stops on an interactive map
  • Accommodation โ€” hotel name, address, booking link and photos
  • Rename any section heading by tapping it
  • Reorder sections freely

Privacy and access codes

Full control over who sees your guides.

  • Public guides appear in the feed and can be found by anyone
  • Private guides require a 4-character access code to view
  • Access codes are auto-generated when you switch to Private
  • Share the code with friends โ€” they enter it when opening your guide link
  • Toggle between Public and Private at any time from within the guide
  • Private guides never appear in the public feed

Maps

See your whole trip on a map, not just a list.

  • Every guide has a Map tab showing all stops with addresses
  • Tap any address in a stop to open Apple Maps for directions
  • Custom Map sections let you build a focused route for part of your trip
  • Map auto-fits to show all your pins when it loads

Social features

TripShare is built for community โ€” discover guides from people whose taste you trust.

  • Follow other travelers to see their guides first in your feed
  • Like guides โ€” they save to your profile for easy access later
  • Comment on guides to ask questions or share tips
  • Guide owners can disable comments on their guides
  • View any user's public profile with their guides and stats
  • Block users to hide their comments
  • Report inappropriate guides directly from the guide page

Discovery and feed

Find guides that matter to you โ€” not just what's popular.

  • Home feed shows guides from people you follow first
  • Then surfaces popular public guides you haven't seen
  • Choose preferred tags and countries during onboarding to shape your feed
  • Search by destination, city or guide title
  • Search users by name to find and follow travelers
  • Feed loads 20 guides at a time and paginates as you scroll

Your profile

Everything you've created or loved, in one place.

  • My Guides tab โ€” all your guides with draft/published status
  • Liked tab โ€” all guides you've upvoted
  • Following list โ€” manage who you follow with one tap to unfollow
  • Edit your display name and profile photo
  • Write a short bio visible to other users
  • Sign out or delete your account from settings

Sharing

Send your guide to anyone โ€” inside or outside the app.

  • Share any guide via the iOS share sheet
  • Public guides: anyone with the link can view them in the app
  • Private guides: link + access code is automatically included when sharing
  • Share from inside the guide or via the three-dot menu

Notifications

Stay in the loop when things happen on your guides.

  • Get notified when someone follows you
  • Notifications use iOS push โ€” enable them when prompted
