Go for it 👍
Great tool to keep our memories wit foto and text as a daily update. In addition, our family and friends can follow our travel.
Photobook - to receive quick printed version oftravelling with either almost no work to do or the option to optimize text and arrangement of foto if required. For fotobook freaks as me, options are limited.
Nevertheless, highly recomended!
Good quality and fair price.

Trip of a lifetime captured beautifully
This was a trip of a lifetime and the book captured all the stages of it. The quality is great too and why would I take days and days pulling together an album manually when this can be done for me?

Beautifully sturdy cover and also the pages are of good quality. The pictures are very well placed.
1 point: I would like it even better if I could organize the pages myself so that certain text can be added to a certain photo, for example. It would also be nice if you could do that in the app.

Polarstep is a great way to register our trips and activities along , letting know our friends and family how we are doing without harassing them on WhatsApp with pictures. People can go check when this is convenient to them and we are then less intrusive.
We ordered a photo book generated by Polarstep based on our holiday trip. It was easy to change picture order and even replace some. We enjoyed this service.

Customer service brushes you off
The books are great and we have done many over the years
BUT
bland, brush off, do nothing customer service is what we have experienced when one of a set of 4 large books froze
And is still frozen AFTER 6 WEEKS
Yes we have had “we will sort it out” emails from a Roxanne but NOTHING HAS ACTUALLY BEEN DONE
Sorry about the Trumpian capitals but we are being completely ignored
Such a shame as we love the product

Reply from Polarsteps
Dear Simon Jonathon Jervis Read,
Thank you for your continued support and for taking the time to share your feedback with us, we really appreciate it. We’re sorry that this bug with your Travel Book has taken longer than expected and that it felt like you were being brushed off. That’s not the experience we want you to have.
Our team has been actively investigating this issue, and it’s taken a bit longer than we expected because we needed extra time and resources to dive into what’s causing it and make sure we fix it properly. We understand that’s frustrating, and we really appreciate your patience while we get it right.
We’ll keep you updated as soon as we fixed the issue. In the meantime, if you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to reach back out to us.
Well structured travel picture app
Perfect tool to document different types of travel in a picture book. Easy to be handled during the travel time itself.

A Polarsteps convert!
Introduced to Polarsteps 6 days into a 3 week trip I was delighted to be able to back date the steps to the start of my trip and use it for the whole trip. Creating the photobook was really easy and the inclusion of weather and location data a real bonus. The book itself is fabulous quality and the colours more vibrant than other photobook suppliers I've used in the past.

Everything's great with Polarsteps!
Everything's great with Polarsteps!
The app is so easy to use! As I have long texts, I'm happy with the upgrade that indicates the number of words ou characters so I can already know if it will be too long for the travel book. It's easy to modify what is suggested by the app for the book. The waiting period 'till receiving the book is short! I already have 9 travel books and 2 more will be on their way as I have 2 more travels to go in 2026! Moreover, the customer service is also awesome!
Like I said, everything is great with Polarsteps!

Polarsteps makes it easy to keep a travel diary.
Polarsteps makes it easy to keep a travel diary. Another key advantage is the ability for all travellers to collaborate on a shared diary.
Just one week after the trip ended, I had a photo book in my hands. It used to take me years to get a photo book ready.
Unfortunately, we had a complaint about the photo book last time. This was dealt with promptly and to our complete satisfaction.

Good software, super book and great support.
This very clever software allowed us to share our plans, the trip as we experienced it and produced a lovely final photo book. We did have some damage to the cover when the photo book arrived but we explained to their support team and they sent us another book for free.

A perfect way to record memories
We set up Polar steps as a quick, safe and easy way of keeping family and friends updated, but, it us soooo much more than that, tracking our journey, recording how far we travelled, the weather and a wonderful way to remember our holiday.
