NomadSwipeWhat happened to Wanderlog? It is still running, and this is what changed
What happened to Wanderlog? It is still running: on 10 November 2026 its site loaded and Apple shows an app update released on 4 November 2026. I found no outage or shutdown notice. What changed is new features, Pro and trial complaints, and offline wording that varies by source.
Is Wanderlog shut down or down right now?
I found no evidence of either. Four things were live when I checked on 10 November 2026:
- The Wanderlog home page loaded and still sells itinerary, map, budget, shared editing and email-import features. Its blog index lists no recent product or outage post; the newest post I saw was dated 26 November 2024 (blog).
- Apple's public lookup for the app shows version 2.228 with a release date of 4 November 2026 (App Store lookup).
- The Google Play listing says "Updated on Nov 2, 2026".
- I could not find an official Wanderlog status page. Third-party outage trackers rely on user reports and some show old dates, so I did not use them. If the app fails for you right now, see If Wanderlog stopped working for you.
Dated timeline: what changed in Wanderlog
The App Store version history shows day and month but no year. Version 2.228 is dated 4 November 2026 by Apple's lookup and the numbers run in sequence from 2.201, so I read the earlier entries as 2026 (marked with an asterisk).
| Date | What the source shows | Source |
|---|---|---|
| 1 to 10 March 2023 | The help articles on contacting support, cancelling Pro, forwarding booking emails and downloading a trip for offline access carry these dates. They are still the text I could find, so button names may have moved. | Help: contact support, Help: offline plan |
| 14 May* | Version 2.201: Trip Journal introduced, with refreshed visuals. | App Store listing |
| 2 September* | Version 2.220: fixes for place cards, Pro subscriptions and logouts. | App Store listing |
| 15 September* | Version 2.221: users can delete forwarded emails themselves. | App Store listing |
| 16 September 2026 | Wanderlog replied to a Google Play review about pop-up recommendations, saying it has no ads in the app right now and that businesses are recommended by other Wanderlog users. | Google Play listing |
| 24 September* | Version 2.222: Import from anywhere introduced, where you paste a link to create an itinerary. Later versions add sharing reels. | App Store listing |
| 2 November 2026 | Google Play listing updated; its What's new text describes Import from anywhere (paste a link or share reels), a visual refresh, performance work, better maps and fixes for map markers and the media gallery. | Google Play listing |
| 4 November 2026 | Version 2.228 released, with the same notes as the Play update. | App Store lookup |
Nothing in this table is an outage, a shutdown or a pricing announcement. The release notes also end with "exclusive discounts", which the listing does not explain.
What people may be noticing
If the app feels different, these are the dated, sourced candidates. None is an official change notice.
- New features and a visual refresh. Import from anywhere and Trip Journal arrived within the last six months, per the timeline above, and the newest notes mention refreshed visuals and map changes.
- Pro, trials and charges. Both store listings describe the app as free with an optional Pro subscription. The U.S. App Store listing shows Pro in-app purchases as annual plans at $31.99, $39.99, $49.99 and $59.99 and monthly plans at $5.99 and $16.99, and says Pro adds Google Maps export and Gmail linking. On Trustpilot (read 10 November 2026) Wanderlog shows 1.8 out of 5 from 52 reviews, and the 2026 reviews I saw repeatedly mention trials that convert to paid plans, an unexpected annual charge (April and March 2026 reviews) and a Pro paywall (January 2026). These are individual reviews, so treat them as reports, not facts about every account (Trustpilot).
- Offline wording differs by source. The help center, dated 10 March 2023, says Pro members can download a trip plan for offline access. The Google Play listing says "Access your trip plans offline (Pro)" in one line and "All your holiday plans are automatically stored offline" in another, and the App Store listing uses the same automatic wording. Test the trip on your own phone before you rely on it.
- Booking emails and logins. A July 2026 Trustpilot review says forwarded booking emails often do not appear in a trip, and an August 2026 review describes the browser version redirecting to the app in a loop. Wanderlog's own notes list a September fix for logouts and an August fix for loading trips on a slow connection (App Store version history).
- Pop-ups. One Google Play reviewer in September 2026 described recommendation pop-ups on a Pro account; Wanderlog's reply said it has no ads right now.
If Wanderlog stopped working for you
Wanderlog's help center has no troubleshooting article for loading or login problems that I could find. These steps come from the pages I did read.
- Update the app first. Recent release notes list fixes for logouts (2.220), for Pro subscriptions (2.220) and for trip loading on a slow connection (2.216), so an old build may be the cause (App Store version history).
- Check that your trip is saved for offline use. Per the help center (10 March 2023), open the trip in the app, wait for it to finish loading, and look for the download icon next to it on the Profile tab. The article says this is for Pro members.
- Check forwarded bookings. The help center (4 March 2023) says reservations go to a unique address shown under Reservations and attachments, reached by tapping the flights, lodging or rental car icon and choosing Forward email. Use the address shown for that trip (help article).
- Email support with the details it asks for. Write to support@wanderlog.com and include your account email, a link to the trip plan, screenshots or recordings, and your device operating system (help article, 1 March 2023).
- If the problem is a charge you did not want. The help center (4 March 2023) says: on the website go to wanderlog.com/settings/pro and click Unsubscribe; on iOS or Android open your profile, tap the three dots, choose Pro membership, tap Unsubscribe, then finish in your Apple App Store or Google Play subscription settings. Check your store's subscription list afterward (help article).
If you are looking at alternatives
You do not need to leave Wanderlog because of these changes, and I found no event that forces a move. If you want to compare, five Wanderlog alternatives and what each one costs sets them side by side, how to use Wanderlog walks through its steps and Pro limits, and nine trip planner apps compared for 2026 is the wider list.
I built NomadSwipe, so weigh this accordingly. NomadSwipe (Android) is narrower than Wanderlog: it deals real places in a city as cards, you swipe right to save and left to skip, and the saved places appear in your trip and on a map. It has no booking import, budgets, route optimizer or shared editing. iPhone is coming soon.
| Job | Wanderlog | NomadSwipe |
|---|---|---|
| Choose places | Explore guides, plus Import from anywhere from a pasted link | Swipe through real places one card at a time |
| Map | Every added place is pinned on a map | Saved places are pinned on a map |
| Bookings, budget, shared editing | Yes, per its site and listings | No |
| Platforms | iOS, Android and the web | Android |
Try the swipe-first way to pick places
I built NomadSwipe to swipe real places in a city, save the ones you like and see them on a map. It is Android only for now, and iPhone is coming soon.
Bottom line
As of 10 November 2026, Wanderlog is still running: its app was updated on 4 November, and I found no outage or shutdown notice. What changed is Trip Journal, Import from anywhere, a visual refresh and map fixes. The complaints I found concern Pro trials, charges, forwarded emails and offline wording, not a closure. If something broke for you, update the app, then email support@wanderlog.com with the details its help center lists.
Questions about what happened to Wanderlog
Did Wanderlog shut down?
I found no sign of it. On 10 November 2026 wanderlog.com loaded, Apple's lookup showed version 2.228 released on 4 November 2026, and the Google Play listing showed an update on 2 November 2026. I found no outage or shutdown notice on its site, help center or blog.
What changed in the Wanderlog app recently?
Its App Store version history lists Trip Journal in May, fixes for Pro subscriptions and logouts in early September, and Import from anywhere, which builds an itinerary from a pasted link or shared reels, from late September. Version 2.228 on 4 November 2026 adds a visual refresh and map fixes.
Why does Wanderlog ask me to pay now?
I found no dated announcement of a new paywall. The app listings describe a free app with an optional Pro subscription, and the help center, dated March 2023, marks offline downloads and route optimization as Pro. Trustpilot reviewers from 2026 describe trials that convert to paid plans, so check the price screen before you accept a trial.
How do I fix Wanderlog when it will not load or log in?
Update the app, since recent release notes list fixes for logouts and slow-connection trip loading. If it still fails, email support@wanderlog.com with your account email, a link to the trip, screenshots or a recording and your device operating system, which is what its help center asks for.
What can I use instead of Wanderlog on Android?
It depends on the job. TripIt and Roadtrippers cover bookings and road trips, and NomadSwipe (Android) covers picking places by swiping real ones, saving them and seeing them on a map. NomadSwipe has no booking import, budgets or shared editing. I built NomadSwipe.
Findings, method and sample
Sample and method. On 10 November 2026 I read Wanderlog's home page and blog index, four help center articles, its Google Play listing, the U.S. App Store listing with its version history, Apple's public lookup record for the app, and its Trustpilot page. I did not install or test Wanderlog. I searched for outage reports and for a Pro change and found no official notice of either. The help center root, its Pro features section and its "Is Wanderlog free?" article returned HTTP 403 to my fetches, wanderlog.com/pricing returned 404 and wanderlog.com/pro listed no plans, so I did not use them today. Reddit was not read.
- Latest app release found: version 2.228, 4 November 2026 (Apple lookup); Google Play update 2 November 2026.
- Feature changes in the version history: Trip Journal (14 May*), Import from anywhere (24 September*), forwarded-email deletion (15 September*).
- No outage, shutdown or pricing announcement found on Wanderlog's site, blog or help center.
- Help articles for support, cancellation, forwarding and offline are dated March 2023.
- Trustpilot, read 10 November 2026: 1.8 out of 5 from 52 reviews, with charges, trials and paywall the most frequent themes; outages and offline use were not mentioned.
- Offline is described as Pro in the help center and in one line of the Play listing, and as automatic in another line of the Play listing and in the App Store listing.
Limits: the App Store version history has no year, so entries marked * are inferred as 2026. The Trustpilot figures were summarized by a fetch tool and review counts change daily. Prices vary by storefront and offer. Help articles are older than the app's current interface. NomadSwipe statements come from my own Google Play listing as checked on 2 November 2026.
