It should be easy to scan an email text, look for a date and a time, maybe even a location and add it to a calendar. TripIt works about 50% of the time. I get pro for free so I am tempted to use it but I end up just copy/paste all my travel info into a document and take it as PDF or hard copy.

Used Tripit pro for a 3 month Europe trip and essentially it was bloody useless. its algorithm for dealing set material is fine - anything that is not spot on it can not deal with. Complete waste of money.

Doesn’t work
Doesn’t work. Lots of alternatives there and my company unfortunately decided on TripIt. Mixes up dates, trips and creates ridiculous itinieries.
I have to forward every booking and even then, it doesn’t understand what’s what

Unfortunately I had to give up using this product. After many attemps to renew my subscription with two different credit cards and several exchanges with customer service... no solution! Please advise which competitor can provide similar service.

Love the Boardwalk Grill on John's Pass. My husband swears the fish & chips are the best he's ever eaten. I know the lobster roll is the best. Certainly not fancy, but a place we keep coming back to.

Disappointing
My soccer team is going on a trip and as the only one out of 25 people I can not connect with the app. I am using and iPhone 12 and 3 different emails. It doesn’t work. I have communicated with TripIt customer care but they can’t help. Disappointing.

Marginally useful - Pro = Waste of money
I hate to give such low feedback. I've been using TripIt for many years. The free version is fairly useful, but buggy as all get out. All the time. The simplest thing is remembering your login. I always check the box to "Remember Me". Log in. I can then close my browser, reopen it and I have to enter my creds again. Same with the ios app. Frustrating but has been the norm for years. When I log in, it says "You have no trips". Then I click on the TRIPS tab, and there's all my trips. Things like that.
Just now I reserved airport parking. Sent it to Tripit. Couldn't identify it. That's fine. I went in (had to log in again of course even though I JUST logged in minutes ago), entered all the info and selected the already set trip it belongs to and it says "Select a Valid Trip". Huh? I can duplicate all of these things over and over if anyone wants to contact me.
As for the PRO version, I had it for a couple of years. For the entire lockdown too which was kind of dumb. A better company would have offered to extend the subscription since nobody was flying, but whatever.
In pro mode, I had a flight booked from SFO to Paris via Barcelona. The Barcelona->Paris leg was discontinued several weeks before the trip. Luckily I was notified and made alternative plans. Tripit never once notified or even acknowledged that the flight no longer existed. It still showed in my itinerary for weeks as a valid flight until the day I left. It's probably still in there! What exactly am I paying for? The point tracker is somewhat useless as it only collects a handful of airlines. Others you must manually send them your statement.
So in closing (sorry it's so long), I think if TripIt fixed up some of the many bugs, it would be worth using. I would like to see some way to graphically visualize a trip, but one thing at a time. And on the Pro version? If they offer it, you can see if it makes sense to you. Certainly don't rely on them to monitor your flights though.

Have used this app many times
Have used this app many times, both the free and the pro version and it's brilliant, in the free version you forward your emails to the app and it automatically adds your plans to the trip. In pro, that is automatic, as are the flight updates. I would not, however, as some have done, trust a notification that my plane has been cancelled without checking for myself. Nothing is infallible. The only delay or cancellation alert I would trust is from the airline itself. Always double check. I love this app and have recommended it to many traveler friends who love it as much as I do. Thanks TripIt
