On this page
The short answer: Tineo and TripIt are the picks if you want your bookings available offline without paying for it. Wanderlog has offline access but lists it under Wanderlog Pro. Tripsy and Stippl both say they work offline and do not state which plan that needs. Polarsteps is for tracking a route offline, and Google Maps covers the offline map that no itinerary app replaces.
Checked on November 13, 2026. Tineo publishes this guide and is one of the seven apps. What we say about another app comes from that app’s own website, help center or App Store listing, read on that date and linked below. We did not test these apps offline ourselves, so this compares what each company states. “Not stated” means the page we read does not say.

What offline access does and does not cover
“Offline access” means reading what your device already saved. In every app here:
- It covers the itinerary details synced before you lost the connection: dates, times, addresses, booking references.
- It does not cover anything new. Flight changes, a new booking you just forwarded, or an edit a travel companion made will not appear until you reconnect.
- Documents are separate. A ticket PDF that appears in a list is not necessarily downloaded. Open the file itself while offline to be sure.
- Maps are separate. An address in an itinerary is not a map.
Our guide to offline itinerary access has a seven-step check you can run on your own phone before you leave.
Tineo
Tineo builds your itinerary from booking confirmation emails and syncs it to your device for offline use. Offline itinerary access is included in the free plan, so you do not need Tineo Ultra for it. It runs on the web, iPhone and Android, and its Apple Watch app keeps downloaded trips on the watch.
What to check first: trip details and travel documents are synced separately. Review Offline Sync settings on the device you will carry, which needs you to be signed in, and open any document you depend on while offline before you go. Tineo has no offline maps, so pair it with a map app.
Where another app is the better pick: if you want to plan a route on a map and browse places to visit, Wanderlog or Stippl is built for that. Tineo is strongest once you have bookings to organize.
TripIt
TripIt’s help article says you can access your travel information without connectivity as long as you stay signed in to the app. It is direct about the limit: information is static offline and “no updates will display until you next have connectivity.” The article does not tie offline access to TripIt Pro. Its App Store listing says you can find reservation details “even when you’re offline.”
TripIt Pro is $48.99 a year on the App Store and adds real-time flight status alerts, which need a connection anyway.
Pick it when you forward confirmations to TripIt already. Do not sign out before a trip, because the offline copy depends on staying signed in.
Wanderlog
Wanderlog is a map-first planner. Its website lists offline access in the “Maximize your trip planning with Pro” section: “No wifi, no problem. Your trip plans are locally downloaded for access anywhere.” Other Pro features on that page include live flight updates, automatic Gmail scanning, route optimization and unlimited attachments.
Its App Store description says “All your plans are automatically stored offline” without naming a plan. Because the website places offline access under Pro, plan on needing Pro. The App Store lists several Pro annual prices starting at $31.99. The website does not state a price.
Pick it when you build trips place by place on a map and are willing to pay for Pro. It is the better pick than Tineo for route planning.
Tripsy
Tripsy’s App Store listing says you can “access your itinerary offline when you don’t have a connection.” It also says some features require Tripsy Pro, and it does not say whether offline access is one of them. Its pricing page does not mention offline access either. The listing covers iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch. Pro annual prices start at $39.99 on the App Store, and the pricing page showed a sale price when we read it.
Pick it when all your devices are Apple. Confirm in the app whether offline access is in the free tier before you count on it.
Stippl
Stippl’s site says you can plan on a full web app or the mobile apps and “take it all offline.” It describes the core app as “free forever”. Its Pro page lists what Pro unlocks at 4.99 euros a month, including unlimited AI trip generation, PDF export, forwarding email reservations and calendar sync. Offline access is not in that list, and the page does not say which plan it belongs to.
Pick it when you want a visual planner with a free core. Note that forwarding reservation emails is a Pro feature at Stippl, while forwarding is part of Tineo’s free plan.
Polarsteps
Polarsteps is a travel tracker more than a booking organizer. Its site says it “works offline” and “keeps tracking, even when you’re offgrid”, and describes a trip overview where you add stays and activities. Pricing and platforms are not stated on the page we read, though the page links to a Polarsteps Plus plan.
Pick it when you want a record of where you went, including stretches with no signal. For holding confirmations and booking references, one of the organizers above fits better.
Google Maps
Google Maps is not an itinerary app, but it fills the gap the others leave. Google’s offline maps help page says you can get driving directions offline as long as the entire route is within the downloaded map. It also says transit, bicycling and walking directions are unavailable offline, and that you get no traffic information or alternate routes. Offline maps expire and need updating.
Use it alongside any app above. Download the area around your hotel and arrival point while you are connected.
Which one should you pick?
- You want bookings offline without paying: Tineo, or TripIt if you already use it.
- You plan on a map and will pay: Wanderlog Pro.
- You are all Apple: Tripsy, after checking its tiers.
- You want a free visual planner: Stippl.
- You want a route record off grid: Polarsteps.
- Everyone: an offline map area in Google Maps, and one test in airplane mode before you leave.
FAQ
Which itinerary app works offline for free?
Tineo includes offline itinerary access on its free plan. TripIt’s help center says travel information stays accessible without connectivity while you remain signed in, and does not tie that to a paid plan. Wanderlog’s own site lists offline access under Wanderlog Pro.
Is Wanderlog offline access free?
Wanderlog’s website lists offline access in its Pro section, with the wording that trip plans are locally downloaded for access anywhere. Its App Store description says plans are automatically stored offline without naming a plan. Treat it as a Pro feature unless the app shows you otherwise.
Does an offline itinerary show flight changes?
No. Without a connection an app cannot receive new information. TripIt’s help center says its information is static offline and no updates display until you next have connectivity. The same limit applies to every app in this guide.
Do I still need offline maps if my itinerary works offline?
Yes. A saved itinerary gives you addresses, times and booking references. It does not give you a map of the area. Download the area in Google Maps or another map app, and note that Google says offline transit, bicycling and walking directions are unavailable.
