What are the differences to other apps?

Wolpy allows users to create trip reviews and maps that are shared on the site.

How does the web app look and feel to use?

One thing users should know is that the Help section has not yet been added and the blog is apparently disabled. A contact form is offered for questions. A Tumblr account is in Spanish, with links to blogs and articles about Wolpy rather than any information from the company itself.

Users are invited to complete a profile with full name, gender, birthdate, location, relationship status, and a brief bio and profile picture. This is all optional. Users may also provide fun facts and links to websites.

To add a city or town to a Wolpy page, users enter the name in a box and click “add”. Using Google Maps, a city is suggested and the user can confirm that this is the place they wish to add. Next, trip title, dates and length of visit, along with trip experiences and review may be added. Trip photos may also be added to the page. Once entered, all information is stored under “Your Visited Places” with an accompanying Google map pin. Trip link may be emailed from the app to friends to view as well.

The application is easy to use and pages load very quickly. The directory of users may be searched or random users’ pages may be viewed. By searching places, other user reviews may be viewed.

How does the registration process work?

Users provide an email, username, and password for registration.

What does it cost to use the application?

There are no user costs associated with Wolpy.

Who would you recommend the application to?

This application will appeal to those who travel frequently and enjoy sharing their experiences. The Google Map integration is an appealing feature for visualizing the places visited, but the same features are provided by Google Maps itself.
