Set both departure and arrival locations for flights, trains, etc.
It would be great if, for transportation, we could set two locations: one for departure and one for arrival.

Visual Indication when new items/discussions are added
Have an easy, visual way to show that something has been added/commented on when viewing the trip page. For instance, if I start a Discussion with my tripmate, perhaps show Discussion in bold or with a (1) after it to indicate that there's something new there.
My tripmate doesn't always check his email, so he's not likely to see the notifications. If there was an easy way to see that there are new items (and where they are), it would be really helpful.
14 votesWe’re thinking about adding little orange dots by items that have been updated, and also showing the updated count in the list on the left. (Kind of like iPhone/Android mail apps show the unread count.)

Poll/vote feature
Please make a poll/vote feature! This type of tool begs for it, and I was under the assumption it was included in the way it was described.
For example, it would work like this. Create a poll that says "Would dates X thru Y work for you?" Then, everyone votes and a percentage is calculated (i.e. "75% of invitees have replied 'yes' ")
5 votes(Note that Planapple already has a way that your tripmates can vote thumbs up/down on individual items in your trip notebook. This is a request for something a little different: a “survey question” for your tripmates, with multiple choice responses.)

Have draggable map markers
Not everything is known to google. Most rural or "secret" attractions can't be found by address but only coordinates. Having draggable map markers wourl really improve usability.

Show dates in my local format
Hi, just a suggestion to you to benefit your UK/European users, that if there was an option to switch the Date Formats used on the site between 12/25/13 and 25/12/13, it would gain a contribution from me

View-only sharing (read-only)
I'd love to be able to share a link with my friends so they could see a read-only view of the trip I'm planning. (Right now, I can only invite friends to join the trip in a way that lets them edit everything in it.)

Reorder destinations by drag and drop
If I add a destination using button in left pane it is always added at bottom of list.
It would better to allow reordering of the list by drag and drop or initially position by itinerary dates.I can use edit trip to reorder entries but it it is less obvious than dragging from main window.
Sometimes order of segments is not correctly reflected in left pane
Adding destinations from Edit trip is inconsistent with adding destinations from left pane. You have to type name first and add location afterwards while the add destination button allows name to default to…20 votes -
duplicate trip or move ideas to new trip
I've saved all my ideas for a trip, and now want to plan aother one in the same area. I'd like to either duplicate it, or be able to move my "unused" ideas to the new trip.

Allow files to be saved with the trip. E.g., a flight confirmation as PDF, Excel spreadsheet or Word documents, screenshots, etc.

Add/remove multiple pictures for items
Items with pictures added from the "Save to my trip" button can have their picture changed, but items with no picture does not allow us to add one later. It's also not possible to remove a photo from an item. And it would be nice to have multiple photos on an item.
49 votesThere’s now an “Add Picture” option for items with no pictures, and “Change Picture” now has a button to delete the photo. We’re still looking into supporting multiple pictures on an item at some point in the future.

Export locations as gpx (or kml) with categories
I'd like to have planapple's locations on my mobile. But i'd like to use an OpenStreetMap tool like OsmAnd, because it works much better for me regarding offline navigation and self-defined favorites. So a more general export of all locations as gpx or kml would be really nice (i'd prefer gpx! :) ).
My current workaround is to select "Everything" in planapple, copy the string you provide via "Get directions on Google Maps" and convert it with a python script to gpx, then i can import these as favorites in OsmAnd. Sadly, the categories get lost as they are not…

Have a day or week-view scheduler, like in calendar apps
to be able to schedule items more easily, please add an option to view a scheduler like Microsoft outlook shows in it's calendar. I would like to see 1 day or 1 week view, be able to drag items between days and be able to set start & end times in the scheduler

Search within my trip
I would like to be able to search my entire trip - at least the title and description fields, if not everything. I don't see any possibility to search everything at the moment.

Allow us to label while importing
It would be great if there was a way to apply a label to an imported item using only the "Save To Planapple" button. You can edit almost any other field, why can't you add labels to things as well?

Easier way to add flight information
Not at all clear on how you add a flight to Planapple. Should be able to just email the itinerary or at the very least have a simple look-up based on Flight #, airline, and date. It is not at all clear how you add transportation currently.

Keep a budget for the trip
Can you help us keep track of how much the vacation is going to cost, and how to divide up the expenses between the families that are going?

iPhone app
Planapple should have an iPhone app that copies my trip to my phone so I can see it when I'm out of the country.
