Simple and fun app

Enjoyable app, I look forward to seeing all the places that I have traveled. I appreciated the creator answering my questions personally. I can tell that a lot of love went into creating this app!

Super cool.

This app is cool! Definitely check it out.

Best date ever!!!

I downloaded this and my husband and I drove around for 2 hours just trying to get to other counties to color them in. We got lost for about 5 minutes and it was probably the most fun date I’ve ever been on. Definitely the easiest date idea if you’re adventurous!!

Visualization

This application provides a valuable means of visualizing my family's extensive travel history. I eagerly anticipate reviewing the map at the end of the year.
