Smart Traveler, the official State Department app for U.S. travelers, invites you to see the world with easy access to frequently updated official country information, travel alerts, travel warnings, maps, U.S. embassy locations, and more. With ...
This app has provided great information in the past But I just noticed that some of it isn t working Clicking on a country gets you to one more screen but clicking on choices at that screen doesn t have any information You can t see consulate information or visa requirements or anything else App isn t working C.h.75
There isn t any information listed on any of the countries I ve searched When will this be rectified No app details 847pm
The Safe Travel app and STEP program is a great way to stay in touch in the event of a serious incident Thanks Great app in an insane world flyairdave1
The information is useful but to rate the app higher it need the ability to bookmark the countries you care about i e the ones you may be visiting during an upcoming trip It would also be very useful to include information about traveling to US Territories for example Guam Useful info Limited capabilities in app Pryn625
Page display reads server error STEP is currently down CaylParis
Somebody apparently listened to all the scathing reviews from a year ago and now this app has become useful with entry requirements addresses and phone numbers of embassies and consulates local laws to be aware of etc Much improved robryd
There should be an off line database of all embassies and consulates That s super important for travelers It s a glaring omission Missing basic info Baranger
Trying to add a trip is useless The app crashes after adding a country and reverts to the login All you ever get to do is login over and over and get nowhere STEP part of app crashes ljstrick74
I looked at the app and could not see it being useful for anything Not sure why the State Department created this Purpose Kanak05
Us government please update this app SMH This app needs an update El_muĂąeco !!
I used to love this app just to read about the various logistical and safety aspects of traveling in various countries Now it has been gutted and rendered useless and pointless What a shame They ve ruined this app ahhhntz
Loved the updated app which gave me up to date travel information that I need Highly recommend to every one from one who travels gypsy greatful Gypsy116
This app used to be one of my favorites The entry exit requirements general safety and special issues sections were very useful Now the only information on the site is worse than useless Instead of information I can actually use I found only a copy of a bilateral agreement from a few years ago Please bring back the old app functionality So Disappointing TeaBee02446
The app provides background info but no relevant travel info on entry exit etc No travel relavent information skiman533
It s the government What did you expect ddooro
I can t really add anything beyond what has been shared by previous reviewers In summary prior app versions had pertinent country facts visa requirements crime details and related valuable content Most recent release contains a train wreck of disconnected details on bilateral treaties photo ops with John Pass the Ketchup Kerry and everything that doesn t have to do with practical travel requirements Go back to a prior release please Ruined it CLMass
The only reason anybody used your site was for the Entry Exit Requirements Read the reviews people Horrible TheBeebz
This app was once great now is just USELESS Why would the following easy to find buttons be remove Embassies and Consulates Country Description Entry Exit Visa Requirements Safety and Security Local Laws Special Circumstances Health Travel Transportation From useful to useless No Stern111111
This app was really disappointing I was hoping to have access to entry and exit requirements and other information that would be important while traveling abroad locations and contact info for embassies local emergency numbers quick reference for local customs travelers should be aware of etc I would love to see future versions of this app be more useful for practical needs of travelers especially in the event of an emergency Seriously lacking agg8055
Use to be such a great toll when planning a trip abroad especially for the entry and exit requirements for a certain country Now it provides pointless information Such a disappointment What happened to this app Etomsio
This app used to be great for me while traveling Now I can not find the entry exit requirements I have to click on a bung of external links which is the same as if I just look it up on the web Please fix this app and bring back the old features No longer worthwhile 5th grade review
Where did the entry requirements go This app is worthless until this is fixed Entry Exit requirements Ochikara
They update it No need to look far gives value information about visa to different countries Awesome Hisar123
This app is too important to travelers trusted travelers to have it ineffective Please read all the comments made by travelers in this review and make the adjustments This has potential to be one of the most useful apps available It is definitely not there at this time PLEASE FIX THIS APP ASAP Bonbonvee
I m a long term traveler and I used this app often previous version since it gave me quick access to the entry and exit requirements to each country Since the update this app became totally useless to me It gives no useful information to aide a traveler or makes searching for it any easier Unless the Entry Exit requirements are reinstated I m not using this app again Worthless without Entry Exit Requiremets nornor01
This app once gave EXCELLENT information now it s not worth the code its written with I simply cannot believe the developers though this was better than the previous version Clearly the same company that did the healthcare gov site updated this app As a federal employee I am disappointed in the logic of the changes implemented Updated app is not user friendly BtmFeeder
This gives no information about the country Only a very brief report on the US relations This app used to have everything I am traveling now and used it all the time Entry exit requirements Deleting app Awful The not so smart app
Fine until recently The entry exit requirements are gone rendering this app useless It is called Smart TRAVELER Nice to know bilateral relations number of flushing toilet per person and so on but has absolutely nothing to do with traveling I travel aboard a lot for my job and I need to know what is required to enter leave visa required or not Can I get a visa at the airport or do I have to get it advance Length of stay allowed What pin head s at the State Department made this move What happened to this app Racerx#9
What happened to entry and exit requirements You guys just made the app pointless I can google the relation and all the agreements between US and different countries All I need is the info on the full website I used to go on the app instead of the full website now you guys are making it more difficult by making me go back to the full site Apps are supposed to make our life s and travels more easier not worse I hope you guys come up with a new fix soon The app is worse aksharawi
I travel extensively for work around the world and used to rely on the app for Entry Exit requirements After the update this section is gone and the overall navigation of the app was made much more cumbersome I will not use this app until the entry requirements information is restored Useless after last update ThirteenRight
I just updated to the newest version of this app and I can t seem to find the consular information sheets that listed entry requirements health crime etc This was the main reason for me to use this app and now it seems to be gone Epic fail No Consular Info MetsNomad
Where d the Exit entry requirements go This app is useless without that info And being taken to the mobile site is useless as well Before this update the app was fine now its just infuriating inconvenient Useless Bundysmom
Have to specify the country twice to get info about it Not always Say you want a directory of embassies You tap Countries and then the country If you then tap US Embassies Consulates it will take you to USEmbassy gov and you ll need to do some zooming and tapping to get the desired info Instead of tapping US Embassies Consulates tap Know Before You Go and then Embassy Location That will get you directly to the info quickly and easily Data a year old Maybe the app is using data from its built in cache instead of the website Be sure you have Internet connectivity then tap More and Clear Cached Data You will see Your e itineraries and custom RSS feeds are NOT removed Tap Yes Now tap Warnings or Alerts and the latest info about that topic will be downloaded Note It appears that when the app can t connect to the web e g in Airplane Mode warnings and alerts are shown anyway I suppose they are old versions that the app keeps around Unfriendly but not completely useless Not as bad as some claim nomodes
Using scrollable frames within an iPhone app Why Abysmal Tagggggggggg
Piece of garbage Misleading and dangerous if rely on this app for current travel warnings and alerts as the most recent info is not listed Worthless AJx0478
Text wider than the screen Lags and erratic scrolling Nonfunctional letter bar The information is there if you want to spend hours scrolling back and forth to read it Terrible Who would guess this was a government job misccrl
The intentions of this app are noble but the implementation is atrocious This app provides all the useful travel information an warning from the department I state website but the app is very slow and does not respond to touch like a typical iOS app It feels like a very poor port Not Recommended pointe0355
Collapsing infrastructure insurmountable debt rampant spending How many of my tax dollars went to funding this ugly app Waste of my tax dollars daversion
looks like an app an incompetent Federal employee would make Try to use the letter index bar doesn t work well if at all go to country of choice and select any topic you have to reselect country when topic opens feels just like the crap I use at work sheesh worthless eddie mello

This app used to be one of my favorites The entryexit requirements general safety and special issues sections were very useful Now the only information on the site is worse than useless Instead of information I can actually use I found only a copy of a bilateral agreement from a few years ago Please bring back the old app functionality So Disappointing
Informative up to date and very useful Am traveling to the Middle East and South Asia and got excellent info about my destinations Registering your personal and trip info with the US Gov through the app is also a good idea and well set up A very well made app was pleasantly surprised at the overall good app design Unusually good

Very clunky and incomplete Terrible
This is a must have travel application for anybody who regularly or plans to travel out of country This app works to cover all travel concerns one may have as well as provide basic information about the place you are interested in The travel database is comprehensive and pretty much covers any place you want more information on The design of the interface makes the app easy to use with quick navigation and sections on each area easy to find The app also allows you to sign up to a program so it is easier to exit a area you have traveled to in case problems arise This is a primary travel tool everyone should download Smart Traveler
Where did the entry requirements go This app is worthless until this is fixed Entry Exit requirements
I travel extensively for work around the world and used to rely on the app for EntryExit requirements After the update this section is gone and the overall navigation of the app was made much more cumbersome I will not use this app until the entry requirements information is restored Useless after last update
I like it Very helpfully app
There is nothing of any value to a traveler such as entry requirements or locations of US embassies What makes them think that travelers want to know things like Investment Climate Reports Bilateral Economic Relations Trade Statistics or Religious Freedom Reports There are links to embassies but when you follow them there is no useful information not even an address One can only hope that somebody reads these reviews and applies a little common sense to the next update This is NOT a Travel App
App hangs when changing pages not responding to touch Not working
What happened to entry and exit requirements You guys just made the app pointless I can google the relation and all the agreements between US and different countries All I need is the info on the full website I used to go on the app instead of the full website now you guys are making it more difficult by making me go back to the full site Apps are supposed to make our lifes and travels more easier not worse I hope you guys come up with a new fix soon The app is worse
my parents told me to get this app while traveling Central America and though its obvious some not great things happen here my trip was filled with reports of brutal rapes murders and other tragic crimes at almost every place we went Im sure they were all true but the last thing i needed was to spend the first part of my trip paranoid and nervous along with my parents when nothing bad happened to me in the 6 months I was there ended up deleting apps app wasnt helpful at all Ignorance is bliss sometimes
Downloading version 12 deletes stored data in the apps etineraries Please test it and fix it If you have etineraries stored data for upcoming trips you might want to wait until after your trips or a fix before updating UPDATE DELETES STORED DATA
I just updated to the newest version of this app and I cant seem to find the consular information sheets that listed entry requirements health crime etc This was the main reason for me to use this app and now it seems to be gone Epic fail No Consular Info
Its the best app u can find Nothing is better then what is provided by the US Gov US Gov Is The BEST
Its the government What did you expect
They update it No need to look fargives value information about visa to different countries Awesome

Whered the Exitentry requirements go This app is useless without that info And being taken to the mobile site is useless as well Before this update the app was fine now its just infuriating inconvenient Useless
But update to retina Its cheap and will take like five minutes Great app
Incredibly slow and clearly created by amateurs Low resolution raster graphics are the highlight of this monumental embarrassment of an app Slow terrible
This app is outdated and poorly written The data would be better if it were refreshed when you looked for it rather than stored static in the program Also the program is clunky and poorly executed I really hoped it would be more helpful an app like this has potential Worthless
This app once gave EXCELLENT information now its not worth the code its written with I simply cannot believe the developers though this was better than the previous version Clearly the same company that did the healthcaregov site updated this app As a federal employee I am disappointed in the logic of the changes implemented Updated app is not user friendly

This app is good considering its from the government How about some agencys collaboration They should coincide with the CDC To give travelers information about different virusesdiseases happening in other countries Also for US citizens that are traveling to other countries a list of vaccines needed More needed
While doing a random search I noticed Senegal had no info on entry requirements Also on iOS the interface is not particularly smooth Overall the app does provide a wealth of knowledge for globetrotters like me I look forward to future updates on the App Store Excellent but incomplete info
So who would you contact if you forget your password and the security question answer does not work Password
Loved the updated app which gave me up to date travel information that I need Highly recommend to every one from one who travels gypsy greatful

This apps last update was August 2012 and there is so much currently to be warned of in Egypt Israel Syria the Gaza Strip and there is no current info at all about any of these volatile areas At the moment this app is ineffective Outdated
I cant really add anything beyond what has been shared by previous reviewers In summary prior app versions had pertinent country facts visa requirements crime details and related valuable content Most recent release contains a train wreck of disconnected details on bilateral treaties photo ops with John Pass the Ketchup Kerry and everything that doesnt have to do with practical travel requirements Go back to a prior release please Ruined it
