im looking for a central app or program to piece together a multi city itinerary including flights, rail, hotel, food, tours... iphone and android compatible a plus
Travefy?
Tripit.
from the bit of research i did, it seems that they both consolidate my bookings into one itinerary. can i manually add things like appointments, tours, minyanim...
Yes. Just go with tripit and that's it. Has everything you need and want.
the landing page on tripit has a 404 error code. have you tried tripcase? it looks good too
Tried all and still stuck with it.
In the good ol blackberry days they had a special app for this that worked perfectly
