User Reviews

Users find Smart Traveler potentially useful as a centralized source for travel advisories and STEP-related alerts, but reliability is a major problem. Repeated issues include blank/white screens on login, frequent crashes, outdated advisories, in-app STEP failures, and occasional security blocks. These stability and currency problems overwhelm the app’s benefits, making it hard to rely on for timely travel decisions.

Pros

Centralized travel advisories and country information in one place.
STEP enrollment offers travel security alerts and consulate notifications (when it works).
Peace of mind for travelers through enrollment.
Historically a great resource for travelers when functioning.

Cons

Blank/white screen on login or after login; app does not load and requires restart.
Frequent crashes and instability (e.g., crashes every few minutes).
Outdated or not timely updated advisories and country info (last updates are old; may not reflect current events).
STEP/login features often fail within the app (sign-up attempts fail, login may not load).
Security blocks and false positives (being blocked for hacking or suspicious activity).

Recent reviews

Not all countries have information. Some countries have information about other countries. Please be professional and care about what used to be a great App. It is no longer Smart Traveler but more like Whatever, you will find out when you get there. We know nothing or we just won’t tell you.
