## What is Breadcrumbs?

Ever wished you could remember exactly where you went last Tuesday?
Or retrace that perfect walk you took months ago?
Or finally answer "wait, have I been here before?"

Breadcrumbs quietly records your location as you move through your day - no check-ins, no buttons to press, no effort. Just open the app and your journey is already there, waiting for you on the map.

YOUR LIFE, MAPPED AUTOMATICALLY
Breadcrumbs runs silently in the background, building a personal map of everywhere you've ever been. See today, last week, or years ago. Your history is always there, always private, always yours.

BUILT FOR REAL LIFE
• Travelers who want to remember every place they visited
• Drivers and delivery workers who need a record of their routes
• Anyone who's ever said "where did I park?" or "what was that street called?"
• Parents who want to know where their kids have been
• People who just love knowing their own story

BATTERY-FRIENDLY BY DESIGN
Unlike other trackers that drain your phone, Breadcrumbs is built to run all day without you noticing. Your location is recorded intelligently in the background - efficient by default, more precise when you need it.

YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS
Breadcrumbs stores everything on your device. No cloud. No selling your data. No one watching. If you use the location sharing feature, your data is end-to-end encrypted - not even we can read it.

PREMIUM FEATURES (just $9.99/year)
Unlock higher location precision, share your location with other devices, filter by date and time ranges, and import/export your data as GPX files. One subscription covers your iPhone and iPad under the same Apple ID or Family Sharing.

Retrace your steps. Rediscover your places. Remember your journey.

### 5/5 — Local Driver

*2026-02-13*

I really enjoy using Breadcrumbs. As a professional driver, this app has become a valuable tool in my daily routine. It helps me learn my area better and gives me a clear visual understanding of where I’ve traveled throughout the day.

One of the biggest benefits for me is accountability. If there are ever questions about routing or whether I was directed correctly, I can review my actual path and have clear documentation. That gives me confidence when discussing routes with dispatch or management.

I also like reviewing my day at the end of my shift. It gives me insight into how I’m being utilized as a driver, how efficient my routing was, and helps me stay oriented while I’m working. It’s almost like a daily performance snapshot.

The only improvement I would suggest is making the route tracking more precise so it follows the road exactly. Sometimes the line appears slightly off the roadway, and a tighter GPS match would make it even better.

Overall, it’s a very useful and practical app that I rely on regularly.

**Developer response:** Daniel, thank you so much for taking the time to write this and for explaining how you use Breadcrumbs day to day. I am really glad it has become part of your routine. For the precision issue, please make sure the Location Precision setting is set to Best, which should help the track stick closer to the road.

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2025-07-21*

Breadcrumbs is an excellent app which is simple to use and yet provides a detailed daily record of one’s travels.
Significantly it also provides an export function which allows for backup should it be required. 
I use it for (Australian) outback travel which is invaluable when travelling in remote areas.

**Developer response:** heolesgyn, I am happy to hear you like the new export feature! Appreciate your kind words!

### 1/5 — Don’t Waste Your Time

*2024-05-25*

0 Stars if I could.  Not sure what the pictures in its presentation show but Breadcrumbs they are not.  It should be a crime that they are even using the word Breadcrumbs in their App Heading.  They should be called, ‘As The Crow Flies’, and I have all the screen shots.  No Breadcrumbs to be found at all, just point to point, so if your looking for something like I was your out of luck with this app and you should erase it asap, not just because in my personal opinion that its Not Worth it but they are also tracking you if you don’t.  
I have a small Garmin GPS but i wanted something I could use on my phone, so trust me, this is not it…..They have a long way to go….
Maybe one day they’ll get it right, but right now its not looking so good

**Developer response:** Hi harleyh0 - thank you for taking the time to leave feedback, even if your experience was frustrating. I want to be upfront about what Breadcrumbs is and isn't, because I think there may have been a mismatch in expectations.

Breadcrumbs is a passive location history app - it records where you've been throughout your day, automatically and in the background. Think of it as a personal map diary rather than a real-time navigation tool. The numbered points you saw connected by lines represent your actual path, logged without any effort on your part.

If you were looking for turn-by-turn breadcrumb navigation or a continuous real-time trail, you're right that Breadcrumbs isn't that - and I'm sorry the description didn't make that clearer upfront. That's on me, and I've since updated the app description to better explain what the app actually does.

If you ever want to give it another try knowing what it's designed for, I'd love to hear what you think. And if you have any questions, I'm always reachable at breadcrumbs [AT] devsincloud [DOT] com.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2024-01-30*

This is a great application. It does his job very well. The customer support is excellent, too.

**Developer response:** lerico, thank you for your kind words! Do not hesitate to reach out to us again!

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2024-01-07, version 1.12*

Breadcrumbs is an excellent app which is simple to use and yet provides a detailed daily record of one’s travels.
Significantly it also provides an export function which allows for backup should it be required. 
I use it for (Australian) outback travel which is invaluable when travelling in remote areas.

### 1/5 — Why ALWAYS allow location?

*2023-08-16*

Why can’t I use the allow while using the app setting for this app to work? It forces me to use always setting.  Please change this!!!

**Developer response:** BigCatBill,

Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate every one I get.

The purpose of the application is to collect your location when in the background. The app description in the app store clearly states that. Only then you will get the full intended functionality.

Having said that, you indeed can have it set to while using only. The application is not forcing you in any way to allow it for the background. If you select while using only, the application will record your location only "while using", that is, when it is in the foreground.

Please let me know if this helps. If it does, please, consider increasing your rating to more than one star. Thank you!

### 5/5 — one of my favorite apps, great for traveling

*2023-05-29*

amazing app, I tried a few others before settling on this one, it keeps track of where I’ve been continuously and is pretty accurate overall.  It also uses very little battery life compared to the other apps I tested.  The app is very reliable and just continues working without any issues.  Another good feature is it saves your entire history, unlike another app that I used before which charges subscription if I wanted to view any history beyond more than a month.  I liked this app so much I subscribed the premium.  Would highly recommend it!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback jetstrike! I am pleased to say that the feature to increase the frequency/accuracy of location points collection is now available in settings (subscription required)!

### 4/5 — Almost perfect.

*2022-06-19*

All we need is to be able to change the rate that it records our location.

(We understand that that will consume battery, however we can simply plug the power cable in to resolve that.)

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback gavbond! I am pleased to say that the feature to increase the frequency/accuracy of location points collection is now available in settings (subscription required)!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2020-04-02, version 1.1*

**Developer response:** Thanks margarette86! I am happy to hear this!
