Polar steps is a really cool app, although travelbook has some layout limits the print quality is amazing
Polar steps is a really cool app, allowing you to keep the experience in mind while you Travel. Afterwards, converting it into the travel book is cool with some limitations in the page layouts and in the annoyance of continuously rebuilding a preview to ensure the quality and text is what you want it to be. We are truly amazed with the quality of the print and the detail

The track could not be adjusted
The track could not be adjusted. During the trip my phone died and I got a replacement. the issue was that between changing phones and getting setup, and when one of the phones went flat, straight lines were created. These could not be changed to a route than was as the route we took

High quality memory
This book is a very beautiful memory of our vacation! The pictures have a very high quality and the stories are embedded between them. I experienced an issue with the book and needed to contact the customer service. They were very helpful and resolved the issue in a very good way! Very happy. I will for sure make other books from our next trips!

I had a look, but unfortunately, I do not see any support requests. Could I please ask you to fill out the contact form at support.polarsteps.com/contact fully one more time, including your trip link and a screenshot?

Very easy to make
Very easy to make, edit and order. The auto layouts made the whole experience smooth and simple, and it was great to have the added info of the mini maps and temperatures. I loved being able to choose which steps to include and being able to add extra images if I wanted to. Excellent quality book!
