## What is Expat Tracker?

Expat Tracker keeps track of the countries you visit and provides reports for your tax return. Your location is tracked to produce detailed, accurate reports of visited countries on any given date. 
You may document your stay with photos of hotel bills, newspapers, flight tickets, etc.

Upgrading to "Full Version" will give you increased value by reliably documenting your past year(s) to the authorities. For tax declaration the following can be worth a lot:
- Unlimited history.
- Export your whereabouts to CSV.
- Mark a day in a specific country a working day.
- List documenting photos.
- Compare customizable day limits with day count one year back
- Everything is encrypted and backed up to a secure server in Switzerland.

Subscribing to Full Version is based on a 3 months subscription period with automatic renewal.
Please note that subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24-hours before the end of the current period. Payment will be charged to iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase and the account will be charged for renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period, and identify the cost of the renewal.
Subscriptions may be managed by the user and auto-renewal may be turned off by going to the user's Account Settings after purchase.

Expat Tracker is GDPR compliant.

### 1/5 — Wrong country

*2020-01-21*

App tells me I am on France when I am in Switzerland.  Fundamental issue.

### 2/5 — Great concept but poorly executed

*2019-09-12*

This app is a great idea and it worked without issue for me for a few months, but it’s not possible to leave it running in the background without checking on it occasionally to make sure it’s still doing what it’s supposed to. The entire appeal of this app is that you can leave it to track you without manually checking in. I didn’t open the app for a few months during a hectic season of summer travel, and then today opened the app to check the number of days I’ve been in my current country before my next trip and found the app wasn’t able to open and crashed continually, which I assume relates to iOS updates. I had to delete the app and re-download it to be able to use it, and when I restored my purchase I thought I’d see my summer travel dates autofilled in based on back location data—a major selling point for the price of this app is that user data is collected and backed up to a secure Swiss server, implying a reference to Switzerland’s cache for (mostly financial) data privacy. Location data is very sensitive and a private server was a big part of the reason I chose this tracker. Unfortunately and surprisingly, Expat Tracker did not track any of my locations since the last time I opened the app, and there is also no way to manually update my locations. It also did not send an alert email to notify me that my location wasn’t being tracked, and that I should log in again to get it back up and running. I’m really disappointed because the app’s simple design and the price of this app made it seem really promising, but it looks like my subscription price for a full quarter was completely wasted. When I tried to contact the developer, I was directed to a generic “contact us” form for Trifork, so I’m really not expecting much. It’s too bad—this is a great concept but it was a total waste of the subscription price during the time it wasn’t tracking my location. Quite disappointing.

### 1/5 — Not accurate enough

*2019-07-11*

I need to track my travel between Gibraltar and Spain and record the days I’m in each. Unfortunately this app is not accurate enough to be relied on as it tells me I’m in Spain when I’m actually I’m Gibraltar this compounding my problems. It’s a pity as if it worked properly I would have definitely signed up for the premium service. Very annoying when you get so excited about a solution and then realise it was too good to be true.

### 2/5 — Amazing App, but $1100 a yr!?

*2019-01-26*

This is the perfect solution for travelers who need to track their days in each country. But the price is completely unreasonable, perhaps it’s for the secure storage and management of the data. Perhaps do a cheaper version?
