iQapps, creators of the award-winning Trip Journal app, has released version 7.1 which updates the app for iOS 5. The company also announced that the app will now be offered free for users of Android, Facebook, Bada, iPhone, and Symbian.

The app was created to allow users to record all aspects of their trip, document important happenings along the way, and share these moments with family and friends.  The updates enable the app to pinpoint your location on a map and track your travels around town even if the app is closed.  Users are able to add video content or photos taken during their travels with ease, anywhere along their route, and sharing via sites like Facebook, Twitter, Picassa, Google Earth, or even email a snap.

Winning a Google award back in 2009 for top app for innovative concept and design (and a not too shabby $100,000 grand prize), Trip Journal remains one of the best.  As Valentin Vesa of iQapps says, “This update further solidifies Trip Journal’s status as the ultimate travel app…Trip Journal is not only functional and feature-filled, but it’s  now free to download.  That means everyone can easily create a rich media travelogue of their travel experiences, record their trip with GPS tracking, add their favorite places and destinations, and do so much more.  [It] makes traveling a fun, interactive, collaborative, mobile and memorable digital media experience – and it’s so easy and enjoyable to use!”

Since winning the award, Trip Journal has been downloaded to the smartphones of thousands of users in locations all over the world, whether a travel expert or average everyday citizen.  Download the app for your iPhone, iPod touch and iPad running iOS 4.0 or later.
