App doesn’t record maps at times
I’ve used FOW for over a decade now and picked up MapCred when I read the devs post on Reddit an year ago I think. I like this app but at times it refuses to record my track even while being open. This has happened to me 3 times now and twice with my wife. Quite disappointing as the whole point is to get the time of stay at one location. But nope, despite being open, no data recorded. No idea what’s going on but definitely not a reliable app.

Response from developer
Sorry to hear things aren’t working right. I’d like to help. If the app is processing a backlog of locations (you’ll see a white progress bar under your scores) then the map won’t reflect new travels until the backlog is cleared. It’s still recording but busy updating the map. Other possibilities: Verify you have GPS signal by checking the Maps app. Verify location tracking in MapCred isn’t disabled (button in lower right above share button). You can reach me at eugene@softwarebyeugene.com.
Good
This app is amazing and always accurate.
The only negative I would say is the battery usage is about %1 per hour. But that is the cost to have an up to date heat map which is incredibly reliable and accurate.

Best Map app !!
This is hands down the best map app I’ve used. It tracks your progress great and is much cheaper than the main competitor. It also allows you to zoom in and out, which the competitor does not allow.
Great!!
So happy to see a new take on a FoW style game, especially with a heat map and more frequent updates!
The best map app :)
I love that it doesn’t just show you where you’ve been, but how often (the heat map feature), making it more fun to go places repeatedly.
App seems to be more stable and modern than any of the others I’ve tried. Speaking of which, I have tried a couple of the others (Strut and Fog of World) and hated that Strut locked me in so I couldn’t export my data, and Fog of World didn’t have leaderboards or any social features and was super expensive. MapCred addresses the shortcomings of both of those (super smart to use GameCenter to share with your friends!), and it is just great overall!

The right way to do it!
A much smarter and more interactive way to approach map exploration! Great concept and execution.
Fun location app
I really enjoyed seeing the heat maps of where I’ve been. And it’s fun to compete to be the king of a particular location (although I’m only the king of my living room for the time being)
Overall, it’s a great app that does exactly what it promises. You compete to see the world.
