I've had a few instances where Inbox was unable to automatically parse the email to extract the information making it somewhat useless in those cases. If there were also a way to manually enter information, that would be perfect (perhaps Google Travel does?).
I guess the developers don't travel much and never get the feedback that it's broke
Going to try this out, but like a commentator on the Verge already mentioned, they should really have released it or beta-tested earlier-mid year since a lot of people backpack / travel during the summer.
A "Travel app" that shows so many clichés condensed in its presentation video (and to top it all, a goat in a spanish street?) hints of enormous amounts of ignorance about the destination. And even feels insulting ... I'll stick to my carrier with free voice and data roaming in UK-EU-US for reading TripAdvisor/Yelp reviews... and a normal GPS Navigator for moving around. Also, maybe Google has missed the minor detail…
Yeesh, this comment is almost embarrassing. Far be it from me to educate the "well-traveled", but I suppose I'll be the one to tell you that the world is larger than the US, EU and UK: I recently spent nine months traveling around 5 continents and less than one month of that was in any of those places.
On top of that, the assertion that having data is a perfect replacement for an offline travel guide is a bizarre one. I (by choice) did all those countries without a data connection,cobbling together offline data similar to that offered by Trips that I needed whenever I found wifi. I'm not the only person I met on the road who preferred their trip to _not_ include full data access. While having a data plan is a reasonable choice as well, it's hardly a perfect replacement for the conscious choice to unplug as much as possible.
I love the idea though, picking a 48 hours list from someone. I wanted to do a website like that years ago, called 48hoursInaCity.com or something, where you could upvote a 48hours tour of the city and choose the one you wanted.
Okay, second issue: I can't add a reservation myself. For some reason I received my plane tickets email on a different email than gmail and... I can't have them in the app now :(
Third issue: right now it just feels a bit gimmicky, I tried browsing places and it is nothing compared to Trip Advisor.

This approach requires research in wifi zones and talking to locals.
i think a better problem to solve would be actual suggestions that don't suck. perhaps crowd sourced from reputable users. and get all that pre-cached!

TL;DR: smugness usually works better when you actually have something relevant to say. Yeesh, this comment is almost embarrassing.

I'm using it right now, and it looks like I can't share the details of my next trip with my trip mates. This is kind of a deal breaker. Anyone has the same issue?
