Can someone who has tried the program please explain exactly what "itinerary trip help" is? I'm looking for a utility that I can enter itinerary information (such as flights, car rentals, hotels, etc.) and the program will display this information chronologically....does this do that?

If so, ideally, I'd like to data enter that itinerary on my desktop PC, and sync it to the travel program....does this so that? TIA!!

It has a very nice "look" but the actual interface is a bit of a mess. It's not easy or logical to find your way around. I struggled to get my home city to "stick". I did like the way that maps are downloaded though - not having to copy and paste URL's was nice. I would really like a good weather programme that is not a "today" plugin though, but this isn't it.

I agree also that it has a great look, and found it clunky and frustrating to use. A bit more thought into the user-interface and it would be a must-have.

Hi all, thanks for your responses to our new release and I am glad that you like the look of Fizz Traveller. We are currently working on the next release, so would be VERY interested in your thoughts on how the user interface could be made better. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated and will help to make our product even better :) Either post your suggestions here, or email me at [email protected]

We look forward to hearing from you!

All I want to know if it supports custom icons following the "normal" weather standard? :)

Hi Juni, support is on it's way :)
