Roast my travel app. Genuinely tear it apart, I need to know if I'm cooked.
I built an iOS app called Triply. It turns the travel reels and tiktoks you save into a mapped, planned trip. Share any video, AI pulls every place mentioned, drops them on a map, and you plan your trip from it.
I've been heads-down on this for a few months and I genuinely can't tell anymore if it's good, if it's stupid, or if I've talked myself into a problem nobody actually has.
So please roast away and be brutalllll
Three things I really want torn apart:
- Is this a real problem, or am I projecting my own dysfunction onto everyone else?
- Why isn't this just a Google Maps feature? Is it a product, or a feature pretending to be one?
- Is my tagline ("Save every place from any Reel in just one tap") garbage?
What I'm already scared of:
- Android users hating me (iOS-only for now)
- The whole premise being too niche to ever scale
Here is the app link guys roast away

Cool feature, but I'm struggling to see the retention. Feels more like a "use once before a trip" product than something people come back to regularly.

Tbh, you’re not wrong.
The bet i’m making is that the saving becomes the habit first before users can move on to the planning stage.
Everyone already scrolls through reels and tiktoks every day and save travel stuff constantly and if triply just slots into that flow of share to triply → save into a collection, then that builds in the background
Then planning a trip is just the payoff, not the whole product.
This could totally be wishful thinking on my part but I’m keen to see how it pans out
What would it need to have for you to actually use something like this regularly?

It is useful. Hope you will fix issues in saving the places. I tired to add Paris, but showed some technical error message. I like the ui ux
