Adding notes

Notes help you remember why you wanted to visit a place or capture important details. To add notes:
  1. Click on a place in your list
  2. Select “Edit notes” or “View details”
  3. Type your notes in the text field
  4. Your notes are automatically saved
What to include in notes:
  • Friend recommendations (“Sarah said to try the tacos”)
  • Specific menu items or dishes
  • Opening hours or best times to visit
  • Reservation requirements
  • Parking information
  • Budget estimates

​
Adding tags

Tags help you categorize places so you can filter them later. To add tags:
  1. Click on a place in your list
  2. Find the tag field
  3. Start typing to create a new tag or select an existing one
  4. Press enter to add the tag
Helpful tag ideas:
  • Weather-based: Indoor, Outdoor, Covered patio
  • Activity type: Active, Relaxing, Cultural
  • Occasion: Date night, Kid-friendly, Solo travel
  • Budget: Budget-friendly, Splurge, Free
  • Meal type: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Coffee
  • Who suggested: John’s picks, Mom’s recommendations
Tag tips:
  • Create tags as you add places, not all at once later
  • Use consistent naming (decide on “For kids” vs “Kid-friendly”)
  • Don’t over-tag - 2-3 tags per place is usually enough
  • Think about how you’ll want to filter later

​
Setting priority levels

Priority levels help you identify which places matter most when time is limited. To set priority:
  1. Click on a place in your list
  2. Find the priority dropdown
  3. Select your priority level
Priority options:
  • High - Must-see, top priority places
  • Medium - Would like to visit if possible
  • Low - Nice to visit if you have extra time

​

  2. Select “Directions”
  3. Google Maps will open with directions from your list start location
This makes it easy to navigate to places directly from your Wandrly list.

​
Best practices

Add details as you add places: Don’t save a bunch of places and plan to add details later. Add notes and tags immediately while you’re thinking about the place. Be specific in notes: Instead of “looks good,” write “Known for BBQ brisket, get there early.” Future you will appreciate specifics. Use priority levels honestly: If everything is high priority, nothing is. Be realistic about what you can actually do. Update as you go: If you visit a place and it was amazing (or disappointing), add notes about your experience. Tag for scenarios: Think about real situations (“what if it rains?”) and tag accordingly.
