With geolocation tracking, Flamingo Compliance automatically records your location and creates a travel timeline where you can keep tabs on all the countries, US states and select cities you’ve visited and how many days and nights you spent there.

### 1/5 — Paid $30 and Cannot Use the App

*2025-11-23, version 2.2.8*

I’m really disappointed with this app. The features I used during the free trial, especially basic residency and tax day tracking, were not included after I paid for the subscription. Once I upgraded, I discovered I needed to pay for a second tier just to access the same tools the trial let me use for free. The app has three subscription tiers, which feels excessive and confusing, and none of that was made clear during the trial.

I paid $30 and cannot even use the core features I expected. The pricing is extremely high for what you actually get, and there is no straightforward way to get a refund. The whole experience feels misleading and not worth the cost at all. I would not recommend this app until they make their pricing and feature tiers clear and actually include basic tax tracking in the base plan.

### 1/5 — Base subscription doesn't allow tax tracking

*2025-10-27*

You would think the $30 a year would track minimally taxes and visa since it's in the title, but it doesn't. I would have to pay $50 to get that additojal basic function. Honestly a rip off and they deferred me to reportaproblem to try to get a refund. Really disappointing and feel scammed.

### 5/5 — An outstanding tool

*2025-10-26, version 2.2.2*

I love Flamingo and rely on it heavily - it just works. One opportunity for improvement: days at sea in international waters are undefined and it’s not possible to choose “International waters” or “At sea”

### 1/5 — Cost vs Service

*2025-09-30*

You were already $3 a month for a tracker, which is three times the cost of your competition. Now you doubled your price and lowered the quality of service by reducing trackers, for data that is al provided by my device, not your software. I will be unsubscribing as soon as I find a replacement. Garbage people, making a mediocre product worse.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the blunt feedback. Flamingo isn’t just reading your phone’s GPS; most of the work (and cost) is our compliance engine that keeps tax, Schengen, and city-level rules current worldwide, which is why our pricing is comparable to other full-feature competitors. The app doesn’t just count your days in the country anymore, but allows you to monitor your tax and visa/permit status, set up custom requirements and rules and shows proactive warnings and alerts to help you avoid violations.
If a specific tracker or workflow you relied on seems missing, please message us in-app — we’ll help you get the same coverage set up and pass your feedback to the team.

### 5/5 — Perfect tracker

*2025-09-05*

Easy to use, good features and fast service.

### 5/5 — Incredibly useful app

*2025-09-05, version 2.1.4*

I live abroad on a visa, but also travel a ton. This app has been crucial in tracking my time in and out of the country and different visa or residency requirements. The support team is also extremely helpful and friendly, which makes the experience all the better.

### 5/5 — Brilliant travel tracking app

*2025-08-18, version 2.0.5*

This is such a good app for tracking your travel days, for example for Brits who need to stay on top of their days in Schengen countries. The new update now means you can more accurately record your residency and tax status too which is really handy. Best part for me though is the customer service, absolutely outstanding and personalised.

### 1/5 — "Upgrade" a disaster

*2025-08-15, version 2.0.4*

Stay away.  Upgrade is horribly complex.  Unintuitive, difficult to make sense of what it is doing.  Constant notes to upgrade no matter whether what you are trying to do is already part of the subscription.  There are so many apps that do this.  I cant imagine who this would make sense for.  I am stuck till year end so I dont lose YTD.

### 1/5 — Latest update has made this unusable

*2025-08-15, version 2.0.4*

Doesn’t track properly. One week in US has created hundreds of entries. Days missing. Cancelling sub now

### 1/5 — Oops

*2025-08-02, version 2.0.3*

What have you done to this app! It was really simple and clear and now it’s over complicated and all over the place. I literally can’t get my head around it. Such a shame.
