We built a travel planning app because planning a trip somehow became a research project
We recently launched the first Android version of Roam.io a side project we've been working on to make travel planning less fragmented.
The problem started with something pretty simple.
When you're planning a trip, your information ends up everywhere:
Instagram for inspiration.
Reddit for actual opinions.
YouTube for experiences.
Google Maps for places.
Blogs for itineraries.
Notes/Sheets for trying to put everything together.
You can spend hours researching a destination and still have to build the actual itinerary yourself.
So we started building Roam.io around a different idea: bring itinerary planning and travel discovery closer together.
The goal is to let you discover itineraries, build your own trip and eventually learn from the real experiences of other travellers — without having to piece everything together across 10 different apps.
We've just launched on Android and we're at the stage where critical feedback is much more useful than compliments.
If you're willing to test it, I'd especially love to know:
• At what point does the experience feel confusing?
• Is the core idea obvious when you first open it?
• What feels unnecessary?
• What's missing that would make you actually use it for a trip?
• Would you come back after the first use?

Would genuinely appreciate people here tearing it apart. 😅
