  • Excellent travel tracker, especially if you take lots of photos

    I am a professional photographer who travels quite a bit. If I’m not taking photos with my iPhone I’m using my Sony cameras which are geotagged so they show up on this app when I upload them to my Photos library. So its the best of both worlds! All your iPhone photos are already geotagged (unless you turned that off) so those show up here too.!

  • Can’t use without Paying

    Globetrotter app fails to meet the expectations Its limited destination coverage, incomplete information, lackluster interface, and restricted functionality all contribute to a un-superior user experience. Combining this with the forced subscription coupled with the lack of value for money further diminish the app's appeal. For that mainly, I cannot recommend the Globetrotter app as a reliable or worthwhile companion for travelers. I understand this is a app is by a small developer and they need money somehow, still.

    Edit: It still is a poor quality app with barely any useable features.

    Hi there,  Thank you for the constructive feedback. These have all been addressed with the latest set of updates, and the app has been improved upon to a tremendous extent. The paywall has also been rethought and pricing has been adjusted. More parts of the app are now usable without a paywall being presented too. Thanks,  Shihab

  • Good Idea, Bad app

    Downloaded and the first think I see is is a paywall subscription, No way to even skip it, very annoying and unnecessary.
    2 stars because this app is a good idea

  • Cool App; Disappointing Onboarding

    I found the onboarding experience to be incredibly frustrating and borderline deceptive (even though I am giving the developer the benefit of the doubt that it wasn’t their intention). What I would have appreciated is if the payment screen included a fourth option that was clearly labeled as a free trial instead of grouping the free trial with selecting a monthly or yearly subscription. I went down the yearly route and immediately cancelled the subscription and deleted the app and still managed to get charged.

    The app overall looks good and it’s very close to being perfect for me, but I feel like the app could benefit from addition UX review. The app isn’t difficult to understand or navigate per se, but it isn’t particularly intuitive either and I felt like I was always tapping on random UI elements to eventually get where I wanted to go in the interface.

  • missing a good start

    when I was using the app, I didn't experienced a good start. all the content was behind a paywall also a 3-day free trial is not enough for such an app! I want to have at least a week for testing it then decide if I wanna actually pay or not. hope you also offer a freemium use soon. thanks! 2 star for good screenshots only👍

  • Fantastic for reviewing travel photos

    Brilliant app and a great idea. Fun to revisit my vacations and the many photos I have taken. Unfair to slam the developer for pricing, worth every penny in my opinion.

  • Love the idea but not for $20/yr

    Great idea, beautiful design. Even though I travel a lot, it’s not worth $20/year. I’d cheerfully pay $20 once.

    After initial onboarding, there needs to be a rescan feature. The app shows me as having visited some countries I didn’t visit because of incorrect geotags, and it missed some countries that should’ve been included but were apparently skipped.

    Also, Puerto Rico shouldn’t be shown as a separate country.

    Hi there, Thank you for the insightful feedback. The latest version now lets you try the app out for free on initial app launch, and all prices have been reduced substantially. You can tap the profile icon in the highlights tab, or via the app's settings section, reset the travel highlights if something doesn't look right. Hope this helps! Thanks, Shihab
  • How did we get to this state of Apps that require a subscription just to run

    Limit access, give a demo. Anything but require a subscription just to see if the app is any good.

  • Unskippable subscription screen

    This may be a great app. But it requires you to subscribe before you can even try it out, so I deleted it before I even got a chance to try it. I have no problem paying a subscription for an app that I find useful, but it seems scammy and borderline unethical to force me to subscribe before I can even try it out. This kind of thing seems intentionally designed to trick people into subscribing and/or forgetting to cancel their subscription. I hope the developer rethinks this design choice. It seemed like an app I might even be willing to pay for, but I just can’t support an app that operates like this.
