Questions and answers

Everything about making, using and sharing your book. Anything else: hello@mynytrip.com.

The book

What is My NY Trip?

A page-turning adventure book made from your family's New York itinerary. Every day gets an illustrated page, every stop becomes a quest with a coin to collect, and every place is one tap from Google Maps. It lives on your phone and works offline.

Do I need to download an app?

No. Open your book's link in Safari (iPhone, iPad) or Chrome (Android) and choose Add to Home Screen. It then opens full screen, like an app.

Does it work without internet?

Yes. Once your book has been opened online, every page, picture and stop is saved on the phone. Only the Google Maps links need a connection.

Which devices does it work on?

Any recent iPhone, iPad or Android phone or tablet. It's made for phones and looks great on an iPad.

Can the whole family have it?

Yes. Send the same link to every phone; each one asks for the book's password once.

What ages is it for?

Kids from about 4 to 12 love collecting the coins; parents use it as the trip plan. Teens tend to enjoy the level select and the score at the end.

Making and changing your book

How do I make a book?

Add your days and stops (or paste the plans you already have and let us fill them in), pick an art style, choose a password, and you get a private link to your book.

Can I change it after it's made?

Yes, as often as you like, using your private edit link. Every phone with the book gets the update the next time it's opened. Your kids' coins are kept.

Can I start from a sample itinerary?

Yes. Our guides include ready-made New York itineraries you can turn into a book and then make your own.

Is it only for New York?

For now, yes. The illustrations are of New York City.

Privacy and passwords

Who can see our itinerary?

Only people with your book's password. The book is encrypted on your device before it reaches us, so not even we can read your plans.

I forgot my book's password. Can you reset it?

No, and that's on purpose: we never see your password, so we can't recover it. If a phone still has the book open, you can keep using it. Otherwise make a new book (pasting your plans makes that quick) and email hello@mynytrip.com with your old book's link so we can sort out the payment.

I lost my edit link.

If you asked us to email your links, search your inbox for “My NY Trip”. Otherwise, email hello@mynytrip.com from the address you paid with and we'll help.

Can I delete my book?

Yes. Email hello@mynytrip.com with your book's link. Books are also deleted automatically 12 months after their last change.

Price and payment

How much does it cost?

One payment per trip, no subscription. See pricing for the current price.

What's the PREVIEW tag?

You can make and try your whole book first. It shows a small PREVIEW tag until it's paid for.

Can I get a refund?

Because you can see and use your whole book before paying, sales are final. If something doesn't work as described, email hello@mynytrip.com and we'll fix it or refund you. See the terms.
