Questions
What is otsuka?
otsuka is a trip planner for iPhone. Every trip starts with a day-by-day plan of real places, and the plan changes when the day does: when it rains, when you're tired, when something runs late. While the trip is on, it shows one day at a time: what's on now, what's next, the rest below.
Does otsuka plan the trip for me?
Yes. Tell it the cities and dates, when you land, what you're into and how full you like your days, and it writes a plan for every day, with times. It usually takes a few seconds. Then everything is yours to move, skip, swap or delete.
What happens to my plan if it rains?
Tap “Want to reschedule?”, then “It's raining”. otsuka moves the outdoor things to another day of the trip and offers indoor ones in their place: things planned for later in the same city, or ideas from your wishlist. It shows where each thing lands before anything moves, and the change can be undone.
What if I'm too tired to do everything on the day?
Tap “I'm tired”. otsuka keeps the one or two things that matter most that day and your meals, and moves the rest to tomorrow. On the last day of the trip they go to your wishlist instead.
Can I move one thing to another day?
Yes. Swipe a row and tap “Move it”. otsuka finds room on the new day without pushing anything past midnight or the flight home, and tells you what else moved. Every move can be undone.
Can a trip have more than one city?
Yes. A trip is a list of cities with their dates, in order, and the plan follows them.
Can I add my own places?
Yes. Add anything to any day, or keep ideas on the trip's wishlist and put them on a day later.
Does otsuka book hotels, flights or tours?
No. It doesn't do bookings, flights, hotels or reviews. It plans the days.
How much does otsuka cost?
A subscription: $39.99 a year, or $7.99 a month with the first month at $0.99 for new subscribers. There is no free version. Both plans renew automatically until you cancel in Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no account and no sign-in. Your trips are stored on your phone.
Does it work offline?
Your trips are stored on your phone, so a plan you already have opens without a connection. Building a plan, or reshaping a day, needs one.
Is otsuka on Android or iPad?
No. otsuka is an iPhone app, in English.
Where is otsuka available?
In most App Store countries, including the US, Canada, the UK, Australia and New Zealand. It isn't available in the European Union or mainland China for now.
Can I share a trip?
When a trip ends, otsuka writes its story: a page for each day, what you did and what you let go. Share it as pictures sized for a story.
