About Me and the App:
Hello, I'm Trey. I'm the guy that made this app.

I believe that one of the great purposes of life is to have as many awesome experiences as possible. To fill your life with stories -- this is a wonderful goal. To this end, I created this app very much for myself. I am a travel photographer, and I run the #1 travel photography blog in the world at StuckInCustoms.com -- so this is an area where I have a lot of experience.

There is a big problem that this app solves for me, personally. I have limited time, and I want the best information about where to visit and what I will see, generally, when I get there. When most people look at travel guides, they simply look for the pretty pictures and think, "I want to go THERE." This takes that experience to the next order of magnitude, and makes it all extremely practical with Trip-Planning.

Even if you don't travel, you still want to find interesting places to see and experience within a short drive of your home. Or maybe there are hidden gems right in your very town that you've never discovered. Because our algorithm is a cool mix of crowdsourcing plus human-curated lists, you'll see some really good results.

All in One:
So, this is it, Stuck on Earth. You don't need to use multiple apps, webpages, and other resources to plan your trip. All the countries, cities, and rural areas of the world are in here -- all in one place. Add photos to your trip, and they'll be available offline. Everything you need is right here in this app. Thanks, and enjoy!

Daily iPad App: Stuck on Earth

TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog

Stuck on Earth is one of those 'really good ideas' that only seems obvious after you've seen it and spent some time with this free app. It's designed for travelers and especially photographers. Move a map to any place on earth, and as you zoom in you will begin to see photographs taken at those locations. The photos come from Flickr and other sources, and the developers check those images by looking for embedded GPS coordinates so the photos appear at the right place on the map. Many of the photos have comments, and you can get directions to any of the locations from directly inside the app. It's a great way to explore things that are near you that you've never seen, but also it's a really useful resource when you're on the road. If you plan for a future trip, you can save the locations and photos on your Read More

Trey Ratcliff takes on travel guides with gorgeous new iPad app

Trey Ratcliff is best known for his widely renowned photography work; his blog Stuck in Customs is massively popular (every day the site’s photos receive more than 150,000 views) and the HDR (high dynamic range) photo techniques he helped to popularize are now practically ubiquitous. Ratcliff is now setting his sights on disrupting a closely related but very separate space: Travel guides. And he’s just unveiled a gorgeous new iPad app called Stuck on Earth to do it. Screenshot of Stuck on Earth (click to enlarge) “I spend my life traveling and finding places and taking photos, and I have cobbled together five or six different tools from the web and apps to research my trips, but I’ve still never found the best way to find places to go when building an itinerary,” the Austin, Texas-based Ratcliff told me in a phone interview Tuesday evening. “I built this app for myself.

The app I've been waiting for!!!

I LOVE THIS APP!!! It's gorgeous, absolutely genius and THE TRAVEL APP OF MY DREAMS! So often I've gone to super fabulous places... but of course with never enough time to see and do it all... much less photograph! Ever try research "cool places to shoot photos" in XYZ city? Dismal experience. This app cuts to the chase in ways that nothing else out there does. You can enjoy gorgeous photography, while finding great spots to shoot... then make you OWN trip, not some tour guide's idea of one (which saves to the iPad and isn't internet dependent... thank goodness!) When you're at your destination as either an exact template - or as a general guide, then follow inspiration from there. I've learned of some new photographers to follow (which you can also do from the app)... and just can't believe how it seems to include everything I need to streamline what little time I have to enjoy a new place. My shoot-to-scouting ratio has shifted now to WAY more time with my camera, way less time wandering around with the clock ticking. Hats off to Trey Ratcliff for coming up with such an elegant app with such incredible functionality. Call me enthused!

Aesthetically pleasing as well as useful

Seriously, I did not think it was possible to have an app that looks this good AND is so useful. You don't even have to be looking to travel to other countries ... I found dozens of spots within 5 minutes of my house that I didn't even know about. The app is quick and responsive and has enough depth that you can explore for hours, but it's just simple enough to not be overwhelming.
