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.

Re-arrange categories within a notebook
I like being able to create custom categories for my trips; however, utility of this feature is limited by the fact that there is no way to move or sort the categories other than the order in which they were created. Drag and drop would be the most convenient method of re-ordering, but a fallback option would be to permit (though not require) categories to be sorted in alphabetical order -- it's easy enough to play with the names so they show up in the order I want.
11 votesThis absolutely makes sense. Just trying to figure out the best way to integrate it into our UI.

Import calendar entries from Kayak calendar
Kayak offers a similar service to Tripit for sending them booking confirmation emails and having them added to a calendar which is available as a calendar feed.
Sometimes Kayak can recognize email formats that Tripit cant (and vice versa) so it would be nice if Planapple would accept any calendar feed as an import source for itinerary entries

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.

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?

Add more than one link (bookmark) to an item
I would like to ad more links (bookmarks) to an item. Sometimes you have the homepage of a restaurant for example and want to keep a forum post about that restaurant for reference.
9 votesYou can actually do this now, but only through the Planapple Save Button. There’s not yet any way to add additional bookmarks from within Planapple itself. (We’ll treat votes for this suggestion as a vote for that feature.)
When you’re using the Save Button, there are two tabs at the top: “New Item” and “Update”. Use the “Update” tab to add the page you’re saving to an existing item in your trip.

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.

Add the travel distance in the itinerary
Adding the estimated distance between locations by travel time or km could help on designing itinerary. Including the travel cost and means could also help.
8 votesWe’re thinking about adding distance between your main destinations (cities). (There’s also another idea in the forums to show distance of items in each city from your hotel or some other main point.)

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.

Show basic description for Notebook items without going to Details
Show at least part of a description without having to view details. My tripmate has never been in the area we're going to. I added various attractions that I'm familiar with, but my tripmate isn't. If you're just glancing through at the names, it's hard to tell what some of them are. It'd be nice to have at least part of the description showing on the list so there's an idea of what the attraction is. Right now the only thing that shows is who created it, when, possibly a rating, and comments.

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?

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.

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.)

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.
