For a while now, I’ve been using (or, rather, attempting to use) both TripIt and Dopplr for travel planning and sharing. I reported almost a year ago that I believed TripIt was substantially higher quality. I even had conversations online with representatives of both companies who tried to convince me to continue.
Sorry, but Dopplr sucks. It is as close to worthless as any website I’ve ever used, and could even potentially cause problems because it is so bad at travel data (like, for example, someone going to the wrong city to meet you).
Dopplr interpreted a Best Western hotel reservation as a trip to Western, Nebraska.
It interpreted a trip with a change of planes in Dallas as a trip to Dallas.
It interpreted a 15-day trip as a series of one-day trips, each day returning home after visiting the next city on the list.
TripIt provides such vastly superior service that I cannot in good conscience even recommend that someone give Dopplr a try. They’ve had at least a year to work on it, and it’s not getting better.
