Being passionate about traveling means I'm always on the lookout for stuff that can make the experience richer. I've always been wondering how to recall past vacations and be as immersed in it as possible - certainly photos and videos would go quite far. So would a blog or a diary, though that takes quite a bit of effort.
Trip Journal seems to be quite a useful all-in-one tool for your smart phones. It keeps track of where you've been, organizes your photos and videos (taken with your phone) neatly and allows you to write notes on the spot, where your memory is the most fresh. It helps that the interface looks quite cool too.
However, its downfall is the battery life span of smart phones these days. With tracking turned off, taking 40+ photos and 2 videos (less than 15 secs each) over 9 waypoints, my iPhone battery dropped from 92% to 20% over a span of 8 hours. It doesn't help that I can't change batteries on my iPhone.
Certainly, the concept of the app is great - but its practicality is severely limited by battery life span.
