Where routes and bookings stay put and work offline abroad, and where the app glitches. Die besten Werte aus den Rezensionstexten: StaffTraveler (79/100), Tripmasters (72) und TripIt (67).
Der Platz folgt dem Wert aus den Rezensionstexten (von 100). ★ ist die App-Store-Bewertung. Zu den Bewertungen
For airline employees flying non-rev, the app solves a real problem: seeing load on a partner carrier's flight, which previously required a phone call. A recent update hurt data entry, but the platform's value remains high.
Gelobt
Getting live load data from colleagues at another airline just minutes before boarding.
Kritik
Data reliability depends on user honesty. Fraudulent entries showing zero load do occur.
Für wen: Airline staff planning non-rev travel on other carriers' flights
A companion app for Tripmasters clients that handles offline trip details and flight reminders well. Some users report timeouts in the Guide section and slow booking sync, but most find it useful on the road.
Gelobt
Offline itinerary and schedule available without internet, which matters abroad and in the subway.
Kritik
The guide section freezes periodically, and booking changes do not always sync automatically.
Für wen: Tripmasters clients who want all tour details at their fingertips offline
TripIt excels at one thing: pulling bookings from confirmation emails into a single itinerary without manual input. Long-term fans value years of trip history. The weakness is that email parsing breaks periodically, and some features like seat assignments and calendar export are unreliable.
Gelobt
Forward a booking confirmation and get a complete itinerary with no manual steps.
Kritik
Airline email import breaks or throws an error at the worst times, exactly when you need it on the road.
Für wen: Frequent business travelers and anyone with multi-segment itineraries
Authors describe import errors and limits on adding parts of a trip. What is needed is manual correction and the ability to save different types of booking.
TripIt, TripSource und 3 weitere
For user-reported load data, where the report came from and when it was posted both matter. A single entry cannot guarantee that a seat will be available.
StaffTraveler
Authors discuss time zones and syncing. Participants have to see the same date, the same local time and the same latest edit.
Wanderlog, Tripsy und 3 weitere
Authors describe trouble installing an eSIM and handing the route over to a navigation app. What is needed is a check beforehand and access to the information already saved.
Airalo, Nomad eSIM und 3 weitere
Authors discuss needless backtracking along the route and setup that is hard to get through. It helps to show the order of the points on the map and let it be changed by hand.
Roadie, Road Trip Planner™ und 3 weitere
The best expense tracker in its category: simple entry, automatic currency conversion, and CSV export. Currency rates are not always current, and the mobile format limits usefulness in complex scenarios like cruises.
Gelobt: Track spending right at the point of purchase, with instant conversion to your home currency.
Kritik: No way to duplicate recurring expense entries, which makes tracking long trips tedious.
Für wen: Travelers who want budget control without complex spreadsheets
One of the best apps for routing sightseeing stops: it builds an optimal visit order based on time and distance. The 10-day limit and inability to add arbitrary addresses (only recognized places) restrict use cases.
Gelobt: Automatically arranges attractions into an efficient route with no unnecessary backtracking.
Kritik: You cannot set an arbitrary starting point like an Airbnb address or an unrecognized location.
Für wen: Tourists who want to cover the maximum number of sights in a day
Marriott's brand app for searching and booking hotels with the Bonvoy loyalty program. Navigation is logical and booking is easy, but the digital key is unreliable and points can take up to a week to post.
Gelobt: The full trip management cycle in one place: search, booking, points tracking, and mobile check-in.
Kritik: The digital key often fails at the door, and booking data diverges between the mobile app and the website.
Für wen: Regular Marriott guests with accumulated Bonvoy points
Momondo offers one of the best search interfaces in the segment: powerful filters, an explore-anywhere feature, and flexible date selection that genuinely work. The core problem is a product one: prices shown in search and prices at the provider often differ, and some listed providers turn out to be sketchy aggregators.
Gelobt: The explore-anywhere feature with date and budget filters helps find destinations you had not considered.
Kritik: Redirects to third-party sites without reputation checks undermine trust in the listings.
Für wen: Flexible travelers who find the best window and route first, then book directly
Wanderlog is strong for proximity-based route planning and map visualization, which genuinely saves time in a city. Booking import via email is unreliable, and UI updates sometimes remove useful features.
Gelobt: Route planning with distance awareness between stops, so you are not zigzagging across the city.
Kritik: Email booking import is unstable, and venue opening hours sometimes differ from reality.
Für wen: Detail-oriented planners who want a logical city route mapped out in advance
A solid organizer for complex trips: the polished interface, email booking forwarding, and date-based timeline all work. The main weakness is unreliable flight notifications with no gate or baggage carousel data.
Gelobt: Smart email forwarding that automatically builds a chronological trip timeline.
Kritik: Flight alerts are inconsistent: gate changes, delays, and baggage claim information arrive late or not at all.
Für wen: Organized travelers with long itineraries and multiple participants
A solid multi-stop route optimizer for delivery: saves time and fuel across many stops. The algorithm occasionally produces an illogical order, and the lack of live execution tracking limits team coordination.
Gelobt: Prioritizes stops and estimates drive times better than Google Maps.
Kritik: No shared monitoring mode: a manager cannot see which stops a driver has already completed.
Für wen: Couriers and field service teams with regular routes
Airalo solves a real traveler pain point: no physical SIM needed, and the eSIM installs in minutes. In popular destinations across Asia and Europe it works well. In less-covered regions the connection is unreliable, and support during installation failures is slow and ineffective.
Gelobt: In most popular countries the eSIM connects automatically on arrival with no setup.
Kritik: When installation stalls, the bot-driven support cannot help and leaves the traveler without internet in an unfamiliar city.
Für wen: Tourists in popular Asian and European destinations who want to skip roaming
Structured works as a visual daily planner with a timeline: it helps you see where time goes and prevents over-scheduling. It is not designed as a travel itinerary tool, but it works as a daily organizer on a trip. The main constraint is that the free tier allows very few tasks.
Gelobt: The timeline with time blocks visually shows that the day is already packed before evening arrives.
Kritik: Without a subscription you cannot create recurring tasks, which makes daily routines awkward to maintain.
Für wen: People with ADHD or anyone who wants to see the entire day hour by hour
A powerful multi-stop route optimizer for logistics and sales that saves hours on deliveries. After the latest update the interface became less convenient, the built-in navigation is weak, and most users plan the route here then navigate with Google Maps.
Gelobt: Optimizes the order of 10 or more stops in seconds with no unnecessary backtracking.
Kritik: The built-in map navigation is not suitable for real driving. You need to switch to another app.
Für wen: Couriers and sales reps with multi-stop routes
A strong route optimizer for couriers and small businesses, but the switch to a proprietary navigator instead of Google Maps or Apple Maps degraded route quality and removed traffic awareness.
Gelobt: Fast stop import and automatic route order optimization save real work time.
Kritik: The built-in navigation lags behind third-party maps in address accuracy and situational awareness.
Für wen: Couriers and delivery drivers with 10 or more stops per day
A strong sightseeing route planner with offline maps via Sygic. Weaknesses: real-time navigation is behind Google Maps, and exporting a route to a third-party navigator is awkward.
Gelobt: Offline maps through Sygic are genuinely useful without signal in mountains, desert, or the subway.
Kritik: There is no easy, fast way to transfer your plan's route into a full navigation app for driving.
Für wen: Tourists planning a packed sightseeing itinerary without depending on mobile data
A good travel diary with a route map and photo book ordering, but in-app navigation is unintuitive and some users cannot get sharing to work for friends. Useful for personal memories, less reliable as a shared travel journal.
Gelobt: Automatically builds a route map from check-ins that can easily become a quality printed photo book.
Kritik: Trip sharing with family is unreliable: some invited guests never get access to the posts.
Für wen: Travelers who care about documenting and preserving memories
MinimaList does minimalist list management well: the lock screen widget works reliably and the structure needs no tutorial. Useful as a packing list or daily plan on a trip, but shared lists between devices occasionally fall out of sync.
Gelobt: The home screen widget lets you check off tasks without opening the app.
Kritik: Shared lists between two users sync unreliably after the first day.
Für wen: Minimalist travelers who need a quick checklist without extras
A corporate travel aggregator that keeps bookings in one place and sends notifications ahead of the airline, but flight booking through the app does not work, adding external bookings became cumbersome, and the interface lost usability after the redesign.
Gelobt: All flight, hotel, and transfer data in one feed with push alerts for delays.
Kritik: Adding a flight to an existing trip can only be done as a separate new trip.
Für wen: Corporate travelers working with a BCD Travel agent
A simple and convenient packing checklist with category-based organization works well when it works, but iCloud sync periodically loses data and support is unresponsive.
Gelobt: Reuse the same list across multiple trips without creating a new one each time.
Kritik: Lists disappear after a device change or update due to unstable iCloud sync.
Für wen: Frequent travelers with an established packing routine
A reliable schedule tracker with solid push notifications for flights, but the product is limited to air travel: hotels and other events cannot be added, and the login interface breaks periodically.
Gelobt: Timely flight change notifications that match the airline's official data.
Kritik: Hotels, transfers, and other trip events cannot be added. The app works only as a flight tracker.
Für wen: Frequent flyers who just want to monitor their flight status
A good tool for travel agents: it conveniently hands clients a structured itinerary with booking details and built-in chat. Clients cannot add anything themselves, which sharply limits value for independent travelers.
Gelobt: Brings all itinerary details into one place and lets you communicate with the agent directly inside the trip.
Kritik: Clients cannot add their own bookings or notes. Only what the agent entered is visible.
Für wen: Clients of travel agencies using the Travefy platform
A functional multi-stop route optimizer for couriers and field staff. Address resolution and time estimates have notable failures, and recent iOS updates broke some features.
Gelobt: One button optimizes stop order and immediately hands the route to a navigation app.
Kritik: Addresses are frequently resolved incorrectly or replaced with address ranges instead of a specific number.
Für wen: Couriers and agents with a daily address list
One of the most convenient aggregators for global hotel and accommodation booking. The interface is intuitive, but there is a systemic issue: the price shown when changing dates is incorrect until confirmation, and cases of non-existent bookings at check-in occur periodically.
Gelobt: Global reach and simple search for any accommodation type, from apartments to chain hotels.
Kritik: The preliminary cost when changing dates diverges from the final amount after the change is confirmed.
Für wen: Travelers booking hotels anywhere in the world
Tripadvisor is strong as an aggregator of ratings and place attributes, but disappoints as a trip planning tool: the list view was removed in favor of a map, saved trips are hard to reach, and data on closed venues is not updated in time. Discovery works. End-to-end trip support does not.
Gelobt: Easy to compare hotels and restaurants using thousands of live reviews right from your phone.
Kritik: The list view with filters was replaced by a map-only view, making navigation in a large city noticeably harder.
Für wen: Tourists who want to read reviews before choosing a place
Zinnia is strong as a digital journal and planner for iPad with Apple Pencil: flexible templates, a rich sticker library, and multi-device support work reliably. For travelers it is useful as an on-trip journal but not as a route planning tool.
Gelobt: Cross-device sync between iPhone and iPad works without glitches.
Kritik: Page grouping and organization tools break periodically after updates.
Für wen: Travelers keeping a handwritten visual trip journal
In popular destinations the eSIM works reliably and delivers good speeds, but in regions with weak networks it drops without warning, and first-time activation can be frustrating. Support is often handled by a bot.
Gelobt: Fast connectivity in most popular countries without a physical SIM.
Kritik: In less developed regions the connection is unstable and can drop before the plan expires.
Für wen: Travelers heading to popular tourist destinations
A solid aggregator of tours and activities for Asia with genuine variety in its listings. Execution quality is uneven: some operators are excellent, others fail to meet clients or do not communicate accurate slot availability.
Gelobt: Wide selection of activities across Asia with easy booking and responsive chat support.
Kritik: Time slot availability is not synced in real time, so users learn a slot is sold out only after paying.
Für wen: Travelers in Asia who need tours and activities in one place
A functional delivery route optimizer with a convenient barcode scanner. The optimization algorithm sometimes produces an illogical order, maps are not always current, and the pricing model shifted against users after an update.
Gelobt: Scanning barcodes from package labels significantly speeds up adding stops compared to typing addresses.
Kritik: Route optimization periodically sends the driver to the same location multiple times instead of following a logical sequence.
Für wen: Couriers with daily delivery routes
For Londoners the app gives excellent route and travel time information across the TfL network, but tourists who download it in advance hit an account geo-block and cannot top up an Oyster card from outside the UK. Basic journey planning works without signing in.
Gelobt: Accurate journey planning across the full TfL network including buses and the Elizabeth line.
Kritik: Tourists cannot register or top up an Oyster card from outside the United Kingdom.
Für wen: London residents and tourists already in the city
Calendars looks better than the native iOS calendar and the week view is a genuine improvement, but developers consistently move basic features behind a subscription with each free update. It is not designed for travel and ended up in this category via a broad planner tag.
Gelobt: The week view is more useful than Apple Calendar and makes it easier to see how the day is distributed.
Kritik: Recurring events and color editing have been moved behind a subscription after updates rolled out.
Für wen: People who want a polished week view on top of Google and Apple Calendar
Batch works well for coordinating a small group over a weekend: expense splitting, polls, and a shared itinerary in one place. For international trips the itinerary's time zone handling breaks, and the removal of the group chat undermined the app's core use case.
Gelobt: A shared itinerary with expense splits and group polls for voting on activities together.
Kritik: The itinerary mishandles time zones for international trip planning, and event order gets scrambled.
Für wen: The organizer of a bachelorette party or small group trip lasting two to three days in a familiar city
A flight metasearch engine aggregating offers from airlines and OTAs. The strength is finding cheap flights on flexible dates. The weakness is that the app regularly freezes after a couple of interactions and redirects to partners at prices higher than shown.
Gelobt: Flexible date and destination search helps find cheap flights to places you had not decided on yet.
Kritik: The app freezes after one or two interactions, especially on newer devices with the latest iOS.
Für wen: Flexible travelers looking for cheap flights without a fixed date
CityPASS as a concept works and genuinely saves money with a packed program, but the app's technical execution is unstable: an email verification loop, occasional white screen, and manual entry of long codes at attraction turnstiles hurt the experience.
Gelobt: A single digital wallet for tickets to a city's main attractions with real savings when visiting multiple sites.
Kritik: Email authorization often falls into a redirect loop, making the app impossible to open before entering an attraction.
Für wen: A tourist with a packed two-to-three day schedule in one city who is prepared for technical issues on day one
Convenient for planning multi-day road trips with distance and time estimates between stops. Automatic waypoint sorting is unreliable, the interface has degraded after updates, and useful features quickly hit a paywall.
Gelobt: Gives a good overview of the entire route at once: all stops, times, and distances on a single screen.
Kritik: Automatic stop ordering is often illogical. The app can send you back and forth between nearby points.
Für wen: Independent travelers with their own car
Viator offers a wide selection of tours and easy booking, but the support system is structured so that when something goes wrong or force majeure hits, the client is left dealing directly with the independent operator. Finding a tour is easy. Getting a resolution is not.
Gelobt: A massive global tour catalog with transparent pricing and fast checkout.
Kritik: When an operator cancels, the platform does not take responsibility and redirects the client to the operator directly.
Für wen: Tourists who book tours in advance and expect smooth fulfillment
A design-forward calendar that dedicated users have loved for years, but sync between devices is unreliable, widgets break after updates, and natural language input is still absent. Weak as a travel tool.
Gelobt: A visually pleasant interface with weather, alarms, and schedule on one screen.
Kritik: Event sync between Mac and iPhone periodically loses changes for 12 to 24 hours.
Für wen: Apple ecosystem users who want a beautiful calendar
A booking aggregator for hotels, flights, and car rentals with a VIP program. Search works and prices are competitive for loyal users, but the interface does not display all active trips and double charges occur with technical errors.
Gelobt: VIP status provides a consistent discount that pays off for frequent travelers.
Kritik: The My Trips section does not always show current bookings, making it hard to track a trip's status.
Für wen: Repeat users with accumulated VIP status
Habit Tracker handles simple habit tracking well and looks clean, but device sync breaks regularly and data is easily lost after switching devices. The app has nothing to do with travel and ended up in the category by mistake.
Gelobt: A clean color-coded interface with a swipe gesture to mark a habit complete.
Kritik: iCloud sync is unpredictable: after switching to a new iPad the habit history does not transfer.
Für wen: People who want a habit tracker on a single device without complex systems
A travel aggregator with a flight price prediction feature and instant hotel booking. The forecast is inconsistent: a wait recommendation can lead to a 50% price increase, and the final hotel charge at check-in is often higher than what was paid.
Gelobt: Fast same-day hotel booking at competitive prices, convenient for spontaneous trips.
Kritik: Flight price trend predictions frequently err on the high side, and the feed is full of sponsored results.
Für wen: Spontaneous travelers booking hotels at the last minute
GetYourGuide conveniently stores vouchers in one place and sends reminders, but the platform does little to vet its operators: time changes do not reach the client, guides do not show up, and getting a refund is a fight. As a voucher wallet it works. As a quality guarantee for tours it does not.
Gelobt: Vouchers, meeting point details, and operator messages are all in one place and available offline.
Kritik: The platform does not verify operator reliability or intervene before a tour has already fallen apart.
Für wen: Tourists who want to buy tours in advance and keep everything in one app
Trip.com is strongest in Asia: trains, hotels, and attractions are aggregated in one place and work reliably for standard routes. Problems arise in edge cases: airline schedule changes are not handled, finding a booked event inside the app is unintuitive, and support gives conflicting answers during emergencies.
Gelobt: For travel in China and Asia it covers trains, metro, attractions, and hotels in one interface.
Kritik: When an airline changes a flight, the app does not help rebook and leaves the passenger to sort it out alone.
Für wen: Travelers in Asia, particularly China, on standard routes
The Air Canada app handles check-in and flight notifications, and baggage information via the app is sometimes more accurate than what agents know at the counter. The weakness: searching and booking multi-segment itineraries, broken links during seat selection, and a passport scanner with frequent errors.
Gelobt: Push notifications with up-to-date connecting baggage information that agents at the gate sometimes do not have.
Kritik: Multi-segment flight booking is not available in the app, and seat selection ends in errors and broken links.
Für wen: Air Canada passengers who need check-in and flight tracking but not complex booking
A companion app for EF Go Ahead group tours: the guide chat and schedule work, but traveler data disappears after app version changes and the block-participant button is broken. Value depends on the live guide, not the app itself.
Gelobt: Live group chat and the current tour schedule available at any time.
Kritik: Trip data disappears when the app version changes, leaving travelers without access to their information on the ground.
Für wen: Participants in organized EF tours
The concept of tracking visited countries and cities on a map is clear and works at a basic level, but the photo geo-scanner is unreliable, wish-list and visited lists get mixed up, and the map sometimes loads without a base layer.
Gelobt: A video tour feature that generates a fly-through of pinned trip locations on the map.
Kritik: Automatic geo-location recognition from photos is inaccurate and misses most images.
Für wen: Travelers who keep a personal archive of places visited
A visually attractive visited-countries map, but the functionality is fragile: data disappears, support for older iOS versions has ended, and the logic for multi-country trips is awkward. More of a trophy tracker than a serious planner.
Gelobt: A visually convincing world map that is satisfying to show friends.
Kritik: There is no way to link multiple countries into one trip without workarounds.
Für wen: Country collectors who care about a beautiful visualization
A flight and hotel metasearch engine with a feature for combining flights from different airlines. The idea of building a multi-carrier itinerary for the best price works, but stop filters break periodically and prices at partner sites after clicking through are higher than shown.
Gelobt: Combining flights from different airlines on a single itinerary with direct links to book with each carrier.
Kritik: Saving a flight to Trips resets the parameters, and the saved flight changes so you have to search again.
Für wen: Experienced travelers assembling itineraries from multiple airlines
The NS app handles schedule search and basic ticket purchase, but the absence of Apple Pay and Wallet makes it inconvenient for tourists, and the hidden saved journeys section after an update frustrates regular users.
Gelobt: Quick ticket purchase without calling support, when everything follows the standard flow.
Kritik: The digital ticket cannot be saved to Wallet or screenshotted without internet at the station. That is a real problem.
Für wen: Dutch residents with an OV-chipkaart, not foreign tourists
Package tours are sold attractively, but execution falls short on logistics: airport pickups fall through, app data updates late, and communication with support effectively vanishes after payment. Better suited to experienced travelers than first-timers.
Gelobt: Itineraries are fully packaged including hotel, flight, and transfer, with no self-assembly required.
Kritik: App data (hotel, return date, transfer) regularly diverges from the actual booking.
Für wen: Experienced travelers who want a ready-made package without the hassle
Vacasa as a rental search app is convenient: search, filters, and 3D tours work fine. The problem is not the app but operational reliability: cancellations hours before check-in and listings that do not match the actual state of the property.
Gelobt: Search with 3D viewing and a useful guest-count filter makes choosing a property fast.
Kritik: You cannot contact the property owner directly or change booking dates through the app after confirmation.
Für wen: Travelers planning a group stay who are prepared with a backup plan in case of cancellation
Any.do works for task lists and shared shopping, but as a travel tool it is weak: no itinerary templates, offline sync is unreliable, and even loyal users were let down by the latest UI redesign.
Gelobt: Shared lists between family members work reliably and update in real time.
Kritik: Shopping categories and sub-lists break after updates. The underlying data structure is unreliable.
Für wen: Travelers who need a simple shared checklist for a trip
Cheapflights works as a metasearch engine and finds flights on obscure routes better than competitors, but actual booking redirects to third parties with no price guarantee. There is no full trip planning tool here.
Gelobt: Finds connecting itineraries on obscure routes that Kayak and similar tools miss.
Kritik: No multi-city booking, and saved searches do not correctly remember baggage parameters.
Für wen: Flexible travelers looking for unconventional routes who are willing to book directly with the carrier
The app can build detailed itineraries with fuel and overnight stop calculations, but the interface is so unintuitive that most new users give up within the first half hour. iCloud sync between iPhone, iPad, and Mac is unreliable.
Gelobt: You can manually enter fuel consumption and tank size, then the app places fuel stops automatically.
Kritik: Without a tutorial the interface is very hard to navigate, and reordering waypoints is also inconvenient.
Für wen: Patient car or RV travelers willing to invest time in learning the tool
A booking aggregator with a broad catalog of flights, hotels, and car rentals. Functionally convenient for packaging trips, but location-based search periodically shows results from the wrong city, and baggage and room details sometimes differ from reality.
Gelobt: Package booking in one interface: flight plus hotel selected without switching between services.
Kritik: Geolocation pulls results from the wrong city, and filters disappear after booking when you relaunch the app.
Für wen: Organized travelers planning trips well in advance
The Celebrity Cruises app is frankly raw: freezes, crashes, a double tab bar, and missed message notifications. Users put up with it on board because there is no alternative, not because it is good.
Gelobt: On-board schedule and restaurant reservations accessible right from your phone without queuing.
Kritik: No in-app search and no reliable message notifications, so messages from family get lost.
Für wen: Celebrity Cruises passengers while on board
As an app, Lufthansa handles boarding passes and check-in when Wi-Fi is available, but one fundamental problem persists: you cannot log in without an account, and the login itself regularly breaks. Seat selection, flight filters, and baggage upgrades are either missing or unreliable.
Gelobt: Boarding passes are added in a couple of taps and remain accessible offline.
Kritik: Sign-in and authentication are implemented so poorly that users more often reach the website than the app.
Für wen: Frequent Lufthansa passengers with an active account
A visited-countries and cities tracker with a nice map, but the app is unstable: it freezes when marking places, the city database is incomplete, and constant upgrade prompts are irritating. More of a collector's toy than a planner.
Gelobt: The visual travel map motivates you to set country goals.
Kritik: The city database is incomplete, and unrecognized places cannot be added without contacting the developer.
Für wen: Avid travelers who collect visited countries
Beautiful planner templates and flexible customization attract users, but the monetization model with strict free-tier limits and data loss at the end of a subscription creates a real functional barrier.
Gelobt: A wide selection of planner templates with visual customization options.
Kritik: Data is tied to an active subscription and disappears when it lapses, with no export option.
Für wen: Organized users willing to pay for a visual planner
The idea of saving places from social media into one map is interesting, but the route generator ignores user preferences and builds generic itineraries. Basic editing and note features are missing even in the paid version.
Gelobt: The ability to save places directly from social media posts and see them on a single map.
Kritik: The route generator ignores places already added by the user and creates template days instead of a personal plan.
Für wen: People gathering travel inspiration from social media who are not yet thinking about a real schedule
A hotel aggregator with a large inventory covering Russia primarily, but recurring issues: the app freezes on updates, support is slow, and the information layer can fail at a critical moment during a trip.
Gelobt: A wide selection of accommodation in Russia with photos and room prices.
Kritik: The app periodically freezes on an update screen for hours, making booking on the go impossible.
Für wen: Travelers within Russia who want more options than individual hotel websites offer
The SAS app looks modern and on good days genuinely shows a boarding pass, gate updates, and flight status. But core functions like multi-city booking, seat selection, and ticket sync break regularly or are unavailable for some markets.
Gelobt: Proactive notifications about gate changes and delays arrive before the passenger discovers them on their own.
Kritik: Multi-segment booking is not available in the app. You have to use the website.
Für wen: Regular SAS customers on simple one-stop or direct routes
The only official way to use a Eurail pass digitally, but the tool itself is unreliable: random sign-outs, no sync between devices, and incomplete platform and reservation information. Failures happen at the worst possible moments.
Gelobt: Lets you activate a journey leg right before departure without paper tickets.
Kritik: The app signs you out at random, cutting off access to tickets when there is no internet.
Für wen: Eurail pass holders who have no alternative
A hotel aggregator with a loyalty program and broad catalog. It works technically, but search shows prices that do not match the website, room data is sometimes inaccurate, and the support bot does not resolve non-standard questions.
Gelobt: A wide selection of accommodation with all bookings managed in a single app.
Kritik: The room name and type in a booking sometimes do not match what the hotel actually provides.
Für wen: Travelers looking for a wide hotel selection without loyalty to one chain
MakeMyTrip covers a wide range of transport and accommodation, but delivery reliability is inconsistent: cabs cancel at the last minute, attraction vouchers arrive without QR codes, and airport check-in through the app stalls without a status update. Finding support inside the app is a maze.
Gelobt: The breadth of the offering is impressive: one screen covers flights, buses, cabs, and hotels.
Kritik: Ground transport (cabs) cancels frequently without notice and without a guaranteed refund.
Für wen: Travelers in India who prioritize coverage over reliability
The RIU app handles one job: book a room, and it sometimes manages that. On the resort, the map cannot zoom to a readable scale, restaurant reservations do not confirm, and menus appear in Spanish regardless of region.
Gelobt: Quick room booking without having to call the front desk.
Kritik: The resort map cannot zoom in to a useful scale, making in-property navigation via the app impossible.
Für wen: A RIU guest who just needs to book a room and have a confirmation on hand
Single-flight booking works relatively smoothly, but group check-in for multiple tickets is broken, multi-stop booking is unavailable on mobile, and upcoming flights periodically disappear from the app for loyal users without explanation.
Gelobt: Searching and booking a flight for a group is fast with a stable connection.
Kritik: Flying Blue account sync is unreliable: bookings disappear and require a manual call to support.
Für wen: Solo business-class Air France passengers without complex itineraries
An airline app with unreliable check-in: boarding passes do not load into Wallet, the check-in form resets its data, and gate notifications do not arrive. It handles the basic task of flight companionship poorly.
Gelobt: When everything works, the flight search and booking flow is straightforward and fast.
Kritik: Check-in is unstable: the app resets data mid-process and the boarding pass in Wallet does not update when the gate changes.
Für wen: Eurowings passengers who always have the web version as a backup
The app works only as a viewer for routes built on a computer, which fundamentally breaks the mobile use case. Those who figure out the logic appreciate it for long trips, but the barrier to entry is unjustifiably high.
Gelobt: Stores trip history with details: cost, distance, and stop times at national parks.
Kritik: A route cannot be created in the app. You can only view a file built in advance on a computer.
Für wen: RV owners already using the desktop version of Road Trip Planner
An airline app for check-in and booking management. The core problem is instability exactly when it is needed most: during delays, cancellations, and gate changes, notifications are late or disappear entirely.
Gelobt: One-tap basic check-in works quickly when the flight is on schedule.
Kritik: During irregular operations like delays and gate changes the app is slow to update and becomes overloaded at peak demand.
Für wen: United passengers without complex itineraries
Go City works as a digital pass wallet, but value depends entirely on the attraction lineup in a specific city: some are already free, some are unavailable on the right day, and booking through third-party services often throws errors. The in-app trip planner degraded after updates.
Gelobt: Convenient to keep all passes in one place and show them without printouts.
Kritik: The visit planner lost the ability to attach activities to time slots after recent updates.
Für wen: A tourist in a major city with a packed two-to-three day program who is willing to cross-check attraction sites separately
Before the 2026 update the app was a reliable tool for dense routes with dozens of stops, but the new interface broke familiar input mechanics, increased battery drain, and broke search.
Gelobt: Stop order optimization in rural areas with weak signal worked accurately and reliably.
Kritik: After the latest update, entering new addresses requires extra taps and slows down with each additional stop.
Für wen: Couriers with dense routes, if a rollback of the update comes through
The KLM app looks polished, but core functions are unreliable: online check-in works on one route and fails on another without explanation, baggage tracking shows a spinner instead of data, and searching with miles crashes the app. Auto-detecting currency and departure city from the App Store region frustrates expats.
Gelobt: The booking management interface is clean and not cluttered with unnecessary elements.
Kritik: Lost baggage tracking does not work exactly when it is needed most.
Für wen: KLM passengers on direct flights without complicated situations
An airline app with chronic check-in problems: a mobile boarding pass without a QR code, mandatory account creation for any action, and form resets mid-process make it an unreliable travel companion. Gate and flight status data sometimes works well.
Gelobt: Baggage claim notifications and carousel numbers arrive accurately and on time.
Kritik: Mobile check-in is unreliable: the boarding pass often comes out without a QR code or does not sync with the gate data.
Für wen: Austrian Airlines passengers on long-haul routes who are not counting on mobile check-in
The concept works but connection reliability is critically unstable: the eSIM regularly stops working mid-trip without warning and real-time support is unavailable. For solo travelers in unfamiliar countries the risk is too high.
Gelobt: When the service works, eSIM setup is simple and there is no need to buy a local SIM.
Kritik: The connection drops without warning mid-trip and there is no responsive support to restore it.
Für wen: Tourists in standard well-covered destinations, and as a backup option rather than a primary connection
The app handles basic flight viewing, but regularly prevents seat selection, hangs on a Cloudflare check during login, and fails to deliver boarding passes when needed.
Gelobt: The flight card with a step-by-step check-in to boarding sequence is useful when there are no problems.
Kritik: Seat selection and account login are unreliable exactly when they matter most, right before departure.
Für wen: Swiss passengers without specific seat or mileage requests
An Expedia-platform package travel aggregator. Flight-plus-hotel package search worked reliably historically, but the app is now unstable across all Apple devices and the package booking process stalls without completing.
Gelobt: Flight-plus-hotel package deals historically delivered noticeable savings compared to booking separately.
Kritik: Package search often does not complete: on the final review screen the system prompts a flight change but offers no alternatives.
Für wen: Package deal fans willing to tolerate instability
An AI trip planner with a polished interface but unreliable recommendations: it suggests places in Australia instead of Greece, ignores Hawaii and Mexico, and does not consider walkability when routing. At this level of data quality it provides no real planning value.
Gelobt: Quickly generates a basic route skeleton for popular European cities.
Kritik: Recommendations do not account for walkability: the app suggests traveling between neighboring points instead of walking.
Für wen: People who want a starting itinerary idea for popular European destinations
A rebrand turned a practical host-finding tool into something resembling a dating app: host activity filters disappeared, profiles are harder to read, and messaging now requires extra steps.
Gelobt: A real global network of trusted hosts that nothing else can replace.
Kritik: Searching for a host without a last-active filter turns into guesswork about who is actually available.
Für wen: Experienced travelers already embedded in the CS community
Basic flight search and booking work, but eDreams's model is built around forcing a paid membership and making cancellation extremely difficult. Support for real booking problems like a wrong flight or a missed connection with the airline is effectively unreachable.
Gelobt: The search interface is intuitive and allows seat selection during booking.
Kritik: When an airline changes its schedule, eDreams does not manage the change for the user and leaves them without a refund.
Für wen: Travelers with simple itineraries who are prepared to handle problems on their own
A timeshare network app with a narrow job: booking HGV owner units. Basic booking sometimes goes through, but navigation is confusing, the map feature is useless on the resort, and the Trust side of the system does not show date availability at all.
Gelobt: When a session goes well, you can book without calling the office.
Kritik: The booking system for Trust owners does not show real room availability. You end up calling anyway.
Für wen: HGV deed-contract owners who need basic booking functionality without expectations of convenience
A simple countdown timer with motivational quotes, not a planning tool: no home screen widget, no multiple simultaneous countdowns, no offline trip card. The functionality is too thin for the travel planning category.
Gelobt: Instantly creates a sense of excited anticipation before a trip.
Kritik: You cannot run multiple countdowns at once and there is no home screen widget.
Für wen: People who want to build excitement ahead of a vacation
Flight search works, but booking reliability is a serious question: users report price substitution after payment and inability to change or cancel a ticket. As a trip planning tool it offers almost no value.
Gelobt: Search is fast and occasionally shows prices below what the airline charges directly.
Kritik: No itinerary management tools: no service class filtering, no real price change tracking without false alerts.
Für wen: People buying the cheapest ticket available and expecting nothing more from the service
Amsterdam's official GVB transit app is unreliable for tourists: QR codes often fail at validators, payment redirects to an external site, and route planning is weaker than Google Maps. Local residents who know the system cope better.
Gelobt: Lets you buy a multi-day transit pass without queuing at the ticket window.
Kritik: The QR ticket regularly fails to scan at the turnstiles, forcing you to find another validator or buy a paper ticket.
Für wen: Tourists in Amsterdam who are prepared for QR code trouble at the tram entrance
As a flight and hotel search aggregator the app works, but the mechanism for handling booking problems is systematically broken: double charges, arbitrary refund amounts, and withholding funds when an airline cancels a flight. A tool for comparing prices, not for booking with confidence.
Gelobt: Fast multi-source search with reasonable hotel and flight coverage in one place.
Kritik: The dispute resolution process is opaque: refund amounts vary from agent to agent with no consistent rule.
Für wen: Travelers who use it to compare prices and book directly with the airline
Editorial content on off-the-beaten-path places was once a strength, but the app has long since stopped loading properly: guides are empty, saving does not work, and authentication loops. The product has degraded to a non-functional state.
Gelobt: Curated guides to lesser-known places not found in standard travel guides.
Kritik: Saving places, loading guides, and in-app navigation are effectively non-functional.
Für wen: Nobody right now. The product is technically broken.
An airline app that fails at its basic job: online check-in breaks, boarding passes do not load, and flight status does not update during delays. Most reviews describe the app as broken precisely when it matters most.
Gelobt: Stores passport data and sends a check-in reminder in advance, when it works.
Kritik: Online check-in often ends in a blank screen or freezes without producing a boarding pass.
Für wen: Brussels Airlines passengers with no alternative for check-in
Agoda reliably charges money and systematically refuses to help when anything goes wrong: cancelled bookings with no refund, descriptions that do not match reality, and chat-bot support. As a travel planning tool the app is dangerous because it creates the illusion of a secure booking.
Gelobt: Wide hotel selection with prices below competitors in straightforward scenarios with no changes.
Kritik: At any deviation from plan the platform effectively disappears and puts solving the problem on the user.
Für wen: Those willing to carry the risk themselves in exchange for a lower price
A visually appealing digital planner journal with no connection to travel planning: no booking import, no maps, no offline content. Most features require a subscription and the free tier is extremely limited.
Gelobt: A pleasant journal format with customizable page templates.
Kritik: Travel planning product scenarios are completely absent.
Für wen: Students and teenagers keeping a personal journal
The app provides almost no help organizing a trip: booking confirmations arrive late, boarding passes sometimes carry wrong dates, and changing a flight or getting a refund becomes a multi-hour ordeal. Core travel scenarios are not covered.
Gelobt: The interface consolidates multiple bookings in one place, which is convenient for multi-segment itineraries.
Kritik: There is no reliable display of the actual operating carrier and the real flexible fare conditions before payment.
The app finds cheap tickets, but for many users problems follow: the ticket does not register with the airline, online check-in fails, and support is unreachable. The gap between the promise and the real experience is too large.
Gelobt: Fast search and occasionally genuinely low flight prices.
Kritik: A purchased ticket may not appear in the airline's system, making online check-in impossible.
Für wen: Those willing to take the risk for a low price and prepared to queue at the check-in counter
The search engine shows prices that do not match reality when you go to book, and the subscription structure is confusing and obscures the real cost of accessing key features. It does not work as a travel planning tool.
Gelobt: The idea of alerts for falling business-class prices would be useful if the prices matched reality.
Kritik: Search result prices do not match actual prices at booking, and airport-specific search is unreliable.
Für wen: Nobody in the current state
