Easy to use and does what it says it does. This is a great app hands down the best of its kind!!! ### 5/5 — My Favorite 😍 *2026-07-11, version 11.0.7* I’ve used FP for 8 years & love everything about this app! ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2026-07-09, version 11.0.7* We started it , that our family and friends can follow our travel adventures . And they love it ! …to see what we explore and see where we go . Now , we look forward to seeing the book about our journey. And so easy to use ### 5/5 — I Cant‘t Find A Better App *2026-06-30, version 11.0.7* YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!! ### 5/5 — Exactly what I wanted *2026-06-29, version 11.0.7* Headed to Alaska and I wanted a way to journal our trip with the photos/videos for each day. And I can share my travels with close friends and family(or the public if I wanted). Easy to use. No ads. And I can get a photo album at the end of travels! ### 5/5 — I quite like Find Penguins *2026-06-18, version 11.0.6* In particular the map is very good. I tend to draft my words in Microsoft Word and upload them as typing into the online environment can be a bit slow even though we have a good Starlink connection. It took a bit of getting used to Find Penguins, but I am getting better at it. ### 5/5 — Loving the map function *2026-06-17, version 11.0.6* getting to grips with FindPenguins now. I found it a bit confusing at first, but that’s just my brain. ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-06-14, version 11.0.6* Fun and easy to use!!! ### 5/5 — NikD *2026-06-11, version 11.0.5* Firstly, I’m older and I don’t use any Social Media platforms “but” Find Penguin is amazing and easy for me to use as we travel around the World. Our children can view the places we visit as we post them, like and make comments. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-06-10, version 11.0.5* I love this app! So user friendly and a great way to see your travel journey ### 5/5 — Asian Vacation *2026-05-30, version 11.0.3* I am more thrilled with the app after using it than while I was using it on vacation in Vietnam & Thailand. It was fun logging my footprints every day & kept me accountable to documenting my trip. Having the free use of app while I was away & then getting the flyover video to share, was awesome! I put so much effort into making my footprints that it really made me want the hardcover book & I was even more impressed & happy I chose to purchase it. I would very highly recommend this app to anyone who loves saving & organizing travel memories. ### 5/5 — Goulds *2026-05-29, version 11.0.3* Just want to get out of this !! ### 3/5 — It’s good but bad *2026-05-24, version 11.0.2* The app is really good. I love the premise and idea. I had the perfect opportunity to use it on a 3 week tour and cruise through Canada and Alaska. Sorry to say, the tracking on my trip is just woeful. It’s really bad. So bad I gave up using the app which is really a shame. I was looking forward to seeing the review video of my holiday ### 3/5 — Not what I wanted *2026-05-22, version 11.0.1* This app might work well for auto tracking of a trip, but I needed to retrospectively make a map of a very long trip. I couldn’t work out how to do that on the app. ### 4/5 — Love the idea. *2026-05-12, version 11.0* No easy to navigate. ### 5/5 — Buen programa *2026-05-03, version 10.1.12* Muy buen programa para organizar y recortarse tus viajes, además de poder imprimir los álbumes ### 5/5 — Great travel app *2026-04-24, version 10.1.12* Amazing to keep connected and when u don’t want to share on social ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Unable to use. *2026-08-22, version 11.2* Hard to understand how to track. Not user friendly in my opinion. ### 1/5 — ZERO *2026-05-13, version 10.1.12* this app doesn’t give enough user info for creating a trip- started out easy and then “add footprints”- added photos from 10 cities in 5 countries it showed title photo and current- nothing in between because it gave no info on “add footprints “ ### 1/5 — Absolute Rubbish *2026-05-02, version 10.1.12* It simply doesn’t work, deleted and moved to Polarsteps ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2026-02-23, version 10.1.12* They make a lot of this app being FREE. However, you get so far and discover there is actually a hefty monthly subscription to use the app. It appears to be a hook to get you to buy a hardcover photo book , the minimum cost of which is £32.99 The app in itself looks attractive and well built but I feel saying it is free when there’s actually a monthly subscription is deceptive. App deleted. ### 1/5 — Nul!!!! *2026-02-07, version 10.1.11* Photobook acheté il y a un mois. Jamais livré ! Support client FindPenguins inexistant malgré plusieurs emails et tentatives de contact. ### 1/5 — Découverte *2026-02-02, version 10.1.10* Trop complexe à utilisé pour les invités… j’abandonne ### 1/5 — Overly complicated *2026-01-23, version 10.1.10* Don’t waste your time trying to make this app accessible! ### 1/5 — No place Photo and Map *2025-11-16, version 10.1.3* Badly set out ### 1/5 — Nuovo cliente Niente sconto *2025-09-01, version 9.0.3* E’ la prima volta con Find Penguins. Applicazione carina anche se manca la stampa della fotografia su due pagine. Mi aspettavo che all’ordine mi fossero scontati i 15 euro propagandati. O mi fosse applicato lo sconto del 10% promesso per ordini fino al 7/9. O tutti e due. E invece nulla: prezzo pieno e nessuno sconto. Pazienza. Passerò ad altra app. Orlando ### 1/5 — There maybe many great things *2025-06-08, version 8.4.3* The app seems fairly decent with lots of features and functionality. However, the one thing that is absolutely an abomination, is the ability to enter places you’ve already been. Oh my God, this would take a lifetime using the globe, zooming into the exact location and then hitting add, then go to the next one. If I didn’t want to add anything from the past, it would probably be just fine, but lost me at that function ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Sharing Without The Whole World Knowing *2026-09-03, version 11.2.1* It’s great to be able to share trip memories with close friends, but not sharing it all over social media. I’ve enjoyed my friends sharing their experiences as well. Easy to use, so you’re not fumbling with a phone…so you can stay in a moment. ### 5/5 — Holiday snapshots to share with friends. *2026-09-01, version 11.2.1* Great fun. ### 5/5 — Trip and Book *2026-08-29, version 11.2.1* Absolutely loved using this app! So much fun and my friends loved it too..a vicarious holiday! Got home did the book…got the book…love it!…now doing some trips retrospectively!!! 🩷 ### 5/5 — Fantastic App for Travel Diary *2026-08-21, version 11.2* Have used this app on many trips now and it keeps improving. Love it. Highly recommend ### 5/5 — Excellent way to Share a Trip *2026-08-19, version 11.2* If you have the discipline to do an entry every day or so, your friends and you have a documented trip in more or less real time. Hard to beat. My only issue has been sometimes trouble editing once I posted. It is fun seeing what other people write, as well. I like to read entries in German, which I am learning. ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2026-08-16, version 11.1.1* Excellent! ### 5/5 — Trip and Book *2026-08-12, version 11.1.1* Absolutely loved using this app! So much fun and my friends loved it too..a vicarious holiday! Got home did the book…got the book…love it!…now doing some trips retrospectively!!! 🩷 ### 5/5 — Just started and already love it *2026-08-04, version 11.1.1* I just learned about this app, and I already love it. Can’t wait to actually track my upcoming travel. ### 5/5 — Tolles Reisetagebuch *2026-07-21, version 11.1.1* Wir verwenden die App seit 2018 regelmäßig und haben uns bereits mehrere Fotobücher drucken lassen. Die App wurde über die Jahre immer besser und funktionaler. Inzwischen konnten wir auch einige Freunde dafür begeistern, was ein deutlicher Mehrwert ist. Die Bedienung ist top, die Möglichkeit zur Offline Speicherung von Footprints echt hilfreich und die Fotobücher sind eine tolle Erinnerung. Ein unglaublicher Leistungsumfang für eine kostenlose App. Perfekt wäre, wenn man aus den Footprints einen Urlaubsfilm generieren und mit Musik unterlegen könnte. ### 5/5 — Bester Travelblog! *2026-07-16, version 11.1.1* Ich nutze nun das Tool und den Tracker seit 2 Jahren und habe fast 400 Footprints gemacht. Bevor ich mich für FindPenguins entschieden habe, hatte ich 6 oder 7 Tool intensiv getestet. Find Penguins ist das beste! Mir gefällt nicht nur die Trackingfunktion und die Möglichkeit für umfassende Beiträge, sondern insbesondere die Möglichkeit mit einem Klick ein Buch zu bestellen oder als PDF zu exportieren. Anregung für die weitere Entwicklung: Eine Exportfunktion für die Bilder wäre toll. Gerne auch kostenpflichtig. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
