### 3/5 — Wish it would sync between devices

*2026-08-10, version 3.12.0*

It shows up in settings in iCloud sync, but nothing syncs unless you do an export from one device and import into the other. Very archaic way to keep iPad and iPhone in sync. There’s also a bug that there’s no way to dismiss the subscription screen in an iPad in landscape mode—after I finally got over that hurdle, I tried a trial subscription to see if that enables better syncing, but no dice. Overall a decent app if used on only one device.

### 4/5 — Brilliant app

*2026-08-07, version 3.12.0*

It’s very top notch but it got worse with Premium and there should be a max of 1000 characters for the optional comment. Premium used to be fairly cheap for it but now is too expensive for limited time usage like you won’t spend hours messing around on it. So lower the price to £12.50 a year or better £10 a year

### 4/5 — love but want more features

*2026-08-04, version 3.11.2*

This app makes tracking travel so much fun and easy! Would like the cities option to be reviewed; Toronto and Vienna are broken down fifteen million ways but can’t track places like Muskoka, Cavendish or Rustico. I believe the app goes by electoral district rather than actual townships which can make tracking hard. Adding a feature to add friends would be nice as well. I haven’t had luck trying to send data to my friends and we’re not always near each other to use the QR code feature. I think it would be much cooler to add friends and then see places they’ve been on their account. But otherwise very good app, I love using it and have recommended it to my friends! Premium version is worth it!

### 4/5 — Awesome app

*2026-07-30, version 3.11.2*

I just wish you could add friends to compare easier.

### 5/5 — Recommend

*2026-07-19, version 3.10.1*

It’s really good how i can track every where I’ve been in my life and I don’t have to think about it anymore

### 5/5 — Been avis

*2026-07-18*

Très bonne appli qui permet de visualiser les pays visités. Détaillé par continent.

**Developer response:** Thanks!

### 5/5 — Tibet should count

*2026-07-17, version 3.10.1*

Without getting into politics, I feel if I am given a country count for places like St Martin and St Barts (both French) I should get one for Tibet which is far more difficult to get into. A visa for Tibet is required, even if you already hold a Chinese visa. It seems like an oversight not to be able to see Tibet in my counts.

### 5/5 — Suggestion

*2026-07-15, version 3.10.1*

You should be able to click countries/regions on a map to check them off.

I’d give Been 4.5 stars if I could.

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-07-14*

Mercator projection is so misleading. The north hemisphere seems gigantic. There should be an option to change the map to different projections. Great app, tho.

**Developer response:** Thanks! We'll pass it on to the team.

### 3/5 — Good just not a lot without premium

*2026-07-12, version 3.10.0*

The main app is great just you need to pay to unlock more advanced features.

### 5/5 — 🤩

*2026-07-05, version 3.10.0*

Amazing for avgeeks and people that like to travel

### 5/5 — Error

*2026-07-04, version 3.10.0*

Whenever I try and add a country to my list on this app,  it just crashes and sends me back to my Home Screen, every time. Thankfully, there is an identical app which is the same and I use that one (same company). It would be amazing if this were to be fixed for others. 
(This error could possibly occur because of my devices’ software (Apple iPhone 8 Plus) 

Apart from that, thank you!

### 1/5 — The app is missing the features it claims it has

*2026-08-25, version 3.13.0*

The app claims to offer the ability to list places you lived in or wish to visit, yet I’m unable to input this, it only allows me to input places I’ve visited

### 1/5 — Crashed

*2026-08-20, version 3.13.0*

Every time I click on add country or go to view something it kicks me out of there app. I could be my phone model but I hope this is fixed later in the future.

### 1/5 — Paid app

*2026-08-09, version 3.12.0*

Very disappointing that the developer has monetised this app. It used to be free with in-app purchases, now it’s gated by a paywall

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2026-08-08, version 3.12.0*

I added all my countries and as soon as I open the app and try to click on something the app freezes. I downloaded two days ago but seems a kinda useless. Too bad, it looked good.

### 1/5 — Hella buggy

*2026-08-03, version 3.11.2*

Hella buggy

### 1/5 — App Crashing

*2026-07-25, version 3.11.0*

I’d like to report a bug. When I open the app and click on “My Countries” and then tap on the arrows next to any of the countries, my whole screen freezes and the app freezes too. It also freezes when I click on the “Get in Touch” button. Please let me know if there’s anything I can do on my end to fix this.

### 1/5 — They share your data

*2026-07-15, version 3.10.1*

Paid app and they share your data. No , thank you

### 1/5 — Bug that needs fixing

*2026-07-03, version 3.10.0*

I’d like to report a bug. When I open the app and click on “My Countries” and then tap on the arrows next to any of the countries, my whole screen freezes and the app freezes too. It also freezes when I click on the “Get in Touch” button. Please let me know if there’s anything I can do on my end to fix this.

### 1/5 — 卡的要死

*2026-06-24*

一打开这app整个手机都卡死了

### 1/5 — Doesn’t track destinations

*2026-06-19, version 3.8.0*

You have to commit to a subscription for the 3 day free trial, then there isn’t a way to cancel the subscription!! Not happy!!

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2026-08-25, version 3.13.0*

This is an easy app to use and so effective visually and in terms of information. I use it on an iPad which gives it more space to view and read the information. Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Ive only been to 2 countries

*2026-08-18, version 3.13.0*

Ive only been to 2 countries but if i have had more i know it would look way cooler

### 5/5 — Simple, Easy and Effective

*2026-08-16, version 3.12.0*

This is a perfect app if you want a simple but very effective way to see which countries and/or states and provinces you’ve been to at a quick glance. No uploading photos or videos, just the map visualizations. It’s fun to see the maps and percentages of each world region you’ve had a chance to visit/live, and you can even make a map of where you’d still like to go, along with quick notes. It’s pretty intuitive and has all the major stuff you’d want and not a lot of extra clutter. My only extra want would be a little more character space for notes on past trips but it’s still a great app.

### 5/5 — Been

*2026-08-16, version 3.12.0*

So useful

### 5/5 — Don’t get premium

*2026-08-15, version 3.12.0*

Great app. Tries to make you get premium when you download but just exit out and use most of the features for free

### 5/5 — More

*2026-08-08, version 3.12.0*

Love the app, but would love for some new features like being able to see pins/dots for all the cities we track, and the ability to customise the colour scheme on the app!

### 5/5 — More Categories!!

*2026-08-07, version 3.12.0*

Absolutely loving this app so far, but I have a few suggestions for more categories to add! There should be a way to track stadiums or arenas you have been to, golf courses you have been to, or maybe even ski resorts!

### 5/5 — Clean

*2026-07-24, version 3.11.0*

Real clean app

### 5/5 — 10/10

*2026-07-23, version 3.11.0*

Smooth, simple, lots of options and fun to customize. Plenty of details to add and incorporate for tracking your travels. Great to use with friends or family

### 5/5 — My fav app

*2026-07-22, version 3.10.1*

10/10 app to track everywhere you have been, lived and want to go
