For most people traveling is a great way for recreation and enjoyment. It lets people escape the rat race, experience new culture and places and broaden their horizons. Today, I review an app that could help travelers of the adventure kind to share their great escape with the world that includes hikers, mountain trail enthusiasts and even bikers.

CairnStory is an iPhone app that lets people record and share their travel stories while they are on the go. After launching this app, users can begin scripting the travel adventures by entering into ‘New Story’ section and all the stories written and downloaded by the users can be found in the ‘Stories’. However, they need to sign up with the CairnStory website to search and download the stories written by other users. During the travels, these stories would guide them when they desperately look for help.

What CairnStory Offers?

• Social networking services (like Facebook and Twitter) have been integrated  to share their travel experience and stories with other users.
• Powerful GPS tool helps during extended journeys as it can prevent missing trekkers situation.
• Dedicated website available at www.cairnstory.com that helps users search, share and download stories. GPS travel logs, pictures and videos can also be downloaded from the site.
• Comes integrated with Google Maps for reference and for marking the travel route. Google Earth helps in 3D travel recording and there are also offline maps.
• Real time locations can be shared after registering as group travelers.

As this app comes with the powerful combination of GPS, website support and social media integration, it can be a convenient companion for the travelers who want to share the thrill of their adventure. CairnStory is compatible with iPhones that run iOS 4 or later. It costs just $1.99 USD.

Rating: 4/5
Though the app comes with loads of helpful stuff, its quite complicated to get acquainted to.
