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 Repeated issues include blank/white screens on login, frequent crashes, outdated advisories, in-app STEP failures, and occasional security blocks.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  • Outdated or not timely updated advisories and country info (last updates are old; may not reflect current events).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).

No matter what country I search for, the following error message appears: “APIError::ProcessingError [Error: The data couldn't be read because it is missing.]” Is this app no longer supported?
