About this app
Reviews made Tripadvisor's name, and the app wraps planning and booking around them. Traveller reviews cover hotels, restaurants and things to do across the world, with booking, saved itineraries and a rewards scheme layered on top. It's for people who plan trips around other travellers' opinions rather than brochure copy. Hotels and experiences (the listing counts over 600,000 and 400,000 respectively) can be booked directly, earning 5% back in Trip Cash towards future bookings; planning and sharing earn Trip Cash too. You can save favourite places, keep itineraries, ideas and bookings together, and get nearby recommendations wherever you are. Most experiences offer free cancellation, and AI summaries condense what reviewers are saying about a place so you don't have to read a hundred of them. Joining is free, but the rewards require an account.
Tripadvisor: Plan & Book Trips: the full guide
What the app is
Other people's opinions, organised. Tripadvisor built its name on traveller reviews of hotels, restaurants and attractions, and the app wraps planning, saving and booking around that archive. It's for people who'd rather trust a few hundred strangers than a brochure.
Hotels and experiences, more than 600,000 and 400,000 of them by the listing's count, book directly and earn 5% back as Trip Cash, with planning and sharing earning some too. Saved places, itineraries and bookings sit together, nearby suggestions appear wherever you are, and AI summaries condense long review threads. Rewards need an account.
How it works day to day
Research happens on the sofa weeks ahead: reading reviews of three hotels, saving the two that survive, dropping a restaurant list into the itinerary. The AI summary is the shortcut when a place has a thousand reviews and you only want the gist. Booking an experience through the app rather than elsewhere is what earns the Trip Cash.
On location, the nearby view does the work: what's good within a short walk, what's open, what people said last week. Free cancellation on most experiences keeps the plan loose.
Why people look for it
The review archive, which has no real rival for sheer depth across hotels and restaurants worldwide. Travellers open it to check whether a hotel's photos are honest and whether a restaurant is a tourist trap. The booking and rewards side is newer and secondary; most people arrive for the opinions and stay because everything they saved is already here.
Look and feel
A review-led app with five screenshots on the page, which should show the listing pages, the saved trips and the booking flow. Travel & Local apps of this scale tend to be card-heavy and photo-rich, and reviews mean a lot of text per screen. Expect ratings, excerpts and photos stacked densely rather than a sparse layout.
Updates and upkeep
Version 70.5.0 reflects a very long release history, as you'd expect from a platform this old and this large. The rating sits at 4.8 across more than 100,000 reviews. The developer is Tripadvisor itself. The page links the App Store alone. There's no reason in the data to doubt active maintenance, though it can't prove it either.
