Notify on website when someone has replied (like instant messaging)
I think your "discussion with your tripmates" idea is nice but there's the hassle of not being able to tell if your tripmates have replied to your posts unless you check your email regularly. I think an instant messaging system might be nice or if we could get notifications on the website for when somebody has replied. Thank you.

My Trip home page
A splashier trip home page would be nice. Let us upload a cover photo of our destination, show thumbnail photos/avatars of group members, display a countdown to the departure date, etc. Right now, it's just one big news feed, which isn't very engaging.

German Version
Well, I'm just missing the german/european version of this tool.
Germans are the world champions of travel. Each employee has 28-34 days of vacation per year and believe me they utilize it. So might be an idea to expand to Germany?

Include short notes in the summary printed itinerary
I would add things like confirmation #s and keep a printout with us when traveling as a safety net should electronics be lost or unusable. Printing the long version of a trip report is not practical.

Sync Planapple plans back out to TripIt
Planapple can import (and update) plans from TripIt into the Planapple itinerary, but I'd also like to sync the opposite direction, so my Planapple itinerary shows up in TripIt.

Overview map of all destinations
Why not have an overview of your trip available, with destinations being connected by "as the crow flies" lines. Then be able to drill down on the individual destinations to zoom in.

Map where tripmates are traveling from
It would be nice if there was a way to post up a map where everyone could edit where there are coming from for this event.

Colored Labels in Calendar
Would like to have the ability to assign different colors in the calendar. This is useful for differentiating activities such as hotel stays, entertainment bookings and other such events.

UI for a larger screen
I really liked the app and the way it was designed, but I feel like everything is stretched to fit that fixed width and I'm underusing my 22" monitor. Would be nice to be able to have more used space in the screen (maybe a responsive layout) so I could see more details about the places I'll go and at the same time see the calendar or the map with more details as well.

Have same labels available in all sections
Once a label is added for a destination section, it is available for use for other items in that section but has to be added again to another section.
3 votesWe’re considering changing from labels to “tags” that could be used throughout the app.

Add a gamification option to your site!
If you want to motivate people to use the tool than gamification is the solution!
1 voteWe’ll likely add some features of this type (and are open to suggestions). However, I’m not expecting a lot of people to vote for it. :-)

route planning features for road trips
I'd like to be able to enter start and end locations, and add or remove stops inbetween. Overlayed on this I'd like to be able to see lodging, tourist stops, food, gas stations etc...

get directions or route between different places in my trip
If we have a bunch of places we're going on one day, we'd like to get directions from our hotel to each of them and then back. Right now, we use Google Maps and have to copy each place into it. It would be nice if Planapple could somehow do this for us.
23 votesWe’ve added something to make this a little easier. Under the map, there’s a new “Get directions on Google Maps” link. Clicking that will open Google Maps with all of the places currently showing on the map, and you can get directions between them there.
As a reminder, in Planapple the map shows whatever places are in the list on the left. So if you’re looking at Dining, all the restaurants will show up. (Also, places only show up on the map if Planapple knows their addresses. You can set or change an item’s address by clicking “Edit Details” on the item.)

Show how far things are from my hotel or destination
There are all sort of ideas that I'm gathering, but I'm not familiar with the area, so it would be nice to know how far the attractions are from my destination city or the hotel where we're staying. It would be great if this was shown in the hover box, be able to sort by distance as well.

12 month overview of trips, drag-and-droppable to change dates
For easy overview of multiple trips, have a 12 month calendar, with color-coded blocks for each trip (during that time). Drag-and-drop to move or change duration.
