Mindtrip: AI Travel Companion

I wanted to use this to help choose some fun things to do for our upcoming cruise but it doesn’t have options for a cruise when you initially add a trip. It only allows you to put in one destination. From the start when it initiated a chat it took forever to generate anything and then said it failed. I had to close and restart the app and then the response was there. This happened twice. I finally figured out how to add different ports through the itinerary but then when I was adding ideas to each days port it again bugged out. I added a port and went to search and added Tortula and when I clicked the filter “things to do” it again bugged out and refreshed back to the main list with no filter. I had to again restart the app to get it to work. Plus each time I went to add more things to the itinerary I had to start the search over and re enter the location which was frustrating. Additionally when adding an item to the itinerary you can only view the ratings, photo and title of the item. You can’t click it to view more The premise is good but this app needs work. *note. I was on my home WiFi and have an iPhone 16 ProMax 1TB so these issues did not stem from my phone.

One travel application to rule them all, and I’ve tried them all. Hard to believe this company is still in its infancy. UX/UI is absolutely brilliant, simple and sleek, perfectly balanced to accommodate local getaways, weekend retreats, daily planning, or an extensive vacation. Every family should be using this to plan weekends and vacations with ease and comfort. Such an incredible blend of local planning for everyday use and travel planning for longer destinations. Tons of customization and flexibility without complexity, it’s so easy to use. AI is not overpowering allowing you to prompt and curate anything your heart desires with the ability to keep your chats unique and ongoing per trip. Easy navigation between chat interface and other functionality, as simple as this might seem, I can’t imagine the amount of talent and thought that went into designing the user experience. I hope they eventually introduce a world map that allows you to visualize your destinations near and far. The business model is sheer genius, empowering creators, everyday people, and travel enthusiasts alike. It’s been a while since I’ve been this enthusiastic about a companies potential, this founder and all-star team hands down nailed it. I truly hope this group of talented technological travel lovers stay together for the long haul, because they have built something that feels magical. Hopefully Apple recognizes this level of genius quickly and awards them accordingly. I rarely write reviews, but felt compelled to send my gratitude. Congratulations Mindtrip, you’ve have officially tripped my mind!

I haven’t tried this on a vacation yet, but have looked at it locally. I discovered some new places to take my kids and new restaurants that I had no idea existed and are within 15 minutes of my home. Definitely going to be using this app often. It runs smoothly and the recommendations are on point.
