Reddit take
AI summary of the Reddit excerpts below — not a quote
TripIt is a widely used itinerary management app that excels at consolidating travel details like flights, hotels, and car rentals into a single timeline via automated email parsing. While it is highly regarded for its simplicity and organization of confirmed bookings, users are divided on the value of its paid subscription and its lack of integrated mapping features compared to newer competitors.
Pros

Cons

- Lacks a native map view for the overall trip itinerary
- Paid subscription is frequently described as unnecessary or poor value

Caveats

TripIt is absolutely worth it. There’s no map view of the trip, but you can click through to maps.
I use tripit but they only let me upload 3 attachments per trip on the free version.
I’ll usually have things like: * flights and hotel confirmations in TripIt
i use tripit. it’s free and you can upload PDFs of tickets or whatever you need.
i use tripit. super automated and all details are retained.
Use Wanderlog. A lot of people like TripIt but personally I think Wanderlog is far superior. Do not pay for the subscription, I don’t understand why they’d pick that horrible monetization model.
TripIt is best for easy, straightforward access to the details of my bookings.
My go to is TripIt, I like it so much I paid for a subscription but totally not necessary, it only tracks flights and isn't worth paying for
TripIt, flight radar, flight connections. All well worth the money. I travel frequently for both work&personal and find them indispensable.
looked at apps like Wanderlog, WeGo or TripIt but they seem to help more with organising what to do on the vacation itself AFTER the dates and other basic details on the trip is sorted out.
