## What is FootPrints?

FootPrints colors the countries and regions you've visited on a clean world map, using the location data already stored in your photos.

- Automatic, from your photos
FootPrints reads only the location and capture date of your photos and videos to find where they were taken. New ones are picked up automatically each time you open the app.

- Color for "when", shade for "how much"
Older first visits appear blue, recent ones orange. The more photos you took somewhere, the deeper the color. Switch to year-only or count-only views anytime.

- Where you took your photos
Show the places you took photos as small red dots on the map. Tap a dot to see the photos taken there and the trips they belong to.

- Satellite and plain map
See your colored countries over satellite imagery and zoom down to the streets, or switch to a clean plain map that also works offline. Toggle between a flat map and a globe you can spin with your finger, complete with the current day/night line.

- Zoom from countries to regions
Zoom into any country you've visited and the borders smoothly switch to its states, provinces, or prefectures.

- Trips, made for you
Your photos are grouped into trips by date and place. See the cities you stopped in, follow each trip's route on the map, turn it into a video where the map follows your path, or look back day by day on a calendar. Add titles and notes to trips and days.

- Trip journal
Each trip opens with a cover photo and goes day by day, with that day's places, notes and photos. Add a caption to any photo.

- Trip Album
Put a trip's title, dates, map and route, places, notes and photos on one page, and share it as an image or PDF.

- Year in Review and badges
Sum up each year's places and trips in a single image to share, and collect badges like "10 countries" and "All 6 continents".

- Replay your travels
Press play on the year slider and watch the countries fill in, year by year.

- No photos? Add them anyway
Mark places you visited without photos, like childhood trips. They appear hatched and sync between your iPhone and iPad via iCloud.

- Places you want to go
Mark countries you want to visit next. They appear on the map with a dashed outline.

- Share your map
Turn your travel map and stats into a single image and send it to friends.

- Compare with family and friends
Overlay your map with people you invite to see the countries you've both visited and the ones only they have. Sharing uses iCloud, and you choose what each group, such as “Family” or “Friends”, can see. Photos and notes are never shared.

- Fix wrong locations
Photos with a wrong location, like ones others sent you, can be left out of your totals with a long press.

- Widgets and Siri
Keep your world map, this year's travels and trips from this day in past years on your Home Screen and Lock Screen. Or just ask Siri, “How many countries have I visited in FootPrints”.

- Statistics
See countries visited, progress by continent, new places per year, and your most photographed places.

- Private by design
All photo processing happens on your device, and your photos are never uploaded. For satellite imagery and city names, the area you're viewing and the locations of your stops are sent to Apple's map service (not when Satellite is off). Nothing is sent to the developer. No ads, no tracking.
