Trips

🇩🇪 Deutsche Version · ← Overview

In Explority, a trip is the frame for everything else: activities, expenses, checklist, documents and fellow travellers always belong to a trip.

Tap “New trip” on the home screen. Creating a trip takes three steps:

1. Travel dates – mark the period directly in the calendar (first and last day).
2. Destinations – search for cities and add them. Each destination appears numbered on the map. For each one you set the arrival day, so the app knows where you are on which day (important for weather, suggestions and the itinerary). You can remove destinations again – if the first one is removed, the next one takes over the start of the trip.
3. More details – name, cover photo (suggestions for your destination, your own photo from gallery or camera) and optionally a budget.

Organisers and tour operators also see the Group trip switch with “Who's travelling?” (class, club, company, family) and privacy settings – see Group trips.

Do you have a travel programme as PDF or photo (e.g. from a tour operator)? Organisers can let AI create a trip from it: name, dates, destinations and programme items are read; you review everything before it's saved. The AI only copies what is in the document – missing details stay empty.

When you open a trip you see:

• A header with cover photo, flags of the countries you visit, travel dates, weather and – in group trips – your role.
• Quick access to the trip's tools: Finances, Checklist, Documents, Share trip, Travel assistant, Preparation and more.
• In group trips, pinned messages from the trip leaders and the cards “Set up the trip” (leaders) or “Your to-dos” (participants).
• Day cards: one card per day with date, place (when it changes) and all activities in chronological order.
  • “+” adds an activity for that day.
  • Tapping the date opens the day plan with map.
  • Multi-day bookings (e.g. a hotel) appear on the first day; running multi-day journeys as a slim line.
• At the end, a CO₂ estimate for the trip.

On tablets and computers the overview uses two or three columns: trip and tools on the left, itinerary in the middle, details of the selected activity on the right.

Use the filter to narrow the plan to certain kinds (getting around, accommodation, food, programme, other) and hide past or empty days.

The Preparation card checks your trip and shows open points, for example:

• activities without a place,
• bookings without a document,
• many days without a plan,
• open payments,
• (group trip) participants who haven't provided their details yet.

Completed points are shown in green; once everything is done the card disappears. A completely empty trip counts as “not planned yet” and triggers no hints.

Use the edit button in the trip header to change name, dates, destinations and – for group trips – capacity, deadlines and privacy.

• Moving the dates: if you shift the whole trip, the app offers to move all activities too. Activities that would then fall outside the trip are shown to you.
• Destinations: what you change changes – everything else stays. A new destination follows the last one; a deleted one leaves a gap you can fill yourself.

Note: editing trips is limited in the free version, see Free & Premium.

“All trips” lists every trip with search (name, destination) and filters: all / upcoming / ongoing / past as well as group / private.

A trip can be exported to your device calendar, including flights, hotels and destinations.

• Deleting your own trip: it disappears for you and all fellow travellers. They see a notice that the trip was deleted.
• Leaving a shared trip: if you're only a member, you leave; the trip remains for the others.
• Both also work offline – syncing with the cloud happens as soon as you're back online.
