Thanks again for taking the time to post your feedback here. We take all of your concerns seriously and we're very grateful to have such passionate users who care so much about improving TripIt.

Madalynn - thank you for posting here and I hope that this can be a conduit for CONSTRUCTIVE feedback. Frankly, as noted earlier, many comments through support have had a mechanical responses and that can be frustrating to your customers. I believe FT has a knowledgeable and involved user base that can provide you with great insight as to what is valuable to those of us who travel a lot and like the leverage that TripIt provides and promises to deliver.

Given that pre-amble, I would like to register a request that TripIt somehow support a streamlined itinerary. My purpose for this is that I want to be able to e-mail my wife a simple itinerary (transportation [planes, trains: carrier, times, #, departure, arr], hotels (arr/dep dates, name, address and phone #).

When sharing itineraries (with family, friends, co-workers, clients, etc) one rarely wants to share all the details one needs/wants for traveling. None of those people care what seat I am in, what I paid/am paying for a tkt or room, what my PNR is... They just want to know where I will be, when I am coming or going and my hotel phone #. Second, I want to send that info to them quickly and easily. I don't want to force them to hit a link to see what I am doing when simply an e-mail will do. I know you want to sign them up and, if I was getting a free service from you, I would have no complaint on that. But I am paying for TripIt Pro and since I am paying, you should do things in ways that I am comfortable with. If this is hard, I will look at alternatives (I switched years ago to TripIt when WorldMate became a little to cloud based for my use/taste).

Finally, the new interface with points, trips, etc as a layer is a pain. Please just list my itineraries so I can get to the one I am on. First of all, there are many programs you don't track points on anymore so that's useless. The reason I have TripIt on my android is that when I am traveling, I want to get to MY CURRENT TRIP as quickly as possible to check on info, flights, alternatives. layering my itineraries so I have to hit a couple of buttons everytime I want to check on something is a pain. When I am in a trip (and you know when they start and end), I am in trip mode and I just want to application to open to the current trip. Doesn't that make sense.

Thanks for listening.
