A TravelBoast alternative for iPhone and iPad
TravelBoast: The app that started the travel map video category, on iOS and Android. Trip Motion turns a list of stops into a 3D map video, with a ride for every leg and routes that follow real roads, rails and sea lanes. Here is how they compare, including where TravelBoast is the better pick.
Why people look for a TravelBoast alternative
- Routes are drawn as straight lines, so following a highway means dragging the line by hand.
- Reviewers report long trips with many stops becoming unstable.
- Reviewers report losing work because only one project can be open at a time.
- Vehicles are sold individually on top of the subscription.
Summarised from public App Store and Google Play reviews, October 2026.

Questions
Is there a TravelBoast alternative that follows real roads?
Yes. Trip Motion routes each leg along the actual roads, rails or shipping lanes for the ride you pick, so a road trip follows the highway and a ferry follows the sea lane without manual editing.
Do I have to buy vehicles one by one in Trip Motion?
No. Rides are not sold separately in Trip Motion.
Does Trip Motion work on Android?
Not at the moment. Trip Motion is available for iPhone and iPad.
