## What is Footrip Album?

Your partner app for traveling in Japan!

A map album that automatically paints the prefectures and countries you have visited, using the location data left in your photos. There is no list to check off. Your photos paint the map for you.

■ Getting started
Choose the prefecture you live in and allow access to your photos. That is all. The app then reads your photo library and fills in the blank map of all 47 prefectures. If you have ten years of photos, ten years of footprints become a map on the very first run. There is no account to create.

■ What you can do for free (the map of all 47 prefectures has no feature limits)
・A color-in map of all 47 prefectures. Prefectures you visited are painted, and prefectures you only passed through are tinted very faintly
・Tap a prefecture to see the number of visits, total days, number of photos, and a list of when you went
・Photo map. A map with your own photos placed where you took them. Tap a cluster to open the list of photos
・Timeline. Look back on your trips in two arrangements, "by region" and "by date"
・Trips with no surviving photos can be registered by hand. Trips from the film era, or trips whose photos you deleted, can still go on the map
・You can add a location to photos that have none, with a pin on the map. Useful for photos from a DSLR or a GoPro
・Export the painted map as a single image
・Change the map colors to any color you like. You can also pick an individual color per prefecture, and the color of the sea
・Select photos and hand them to another app (the original data, as is. Up to 30 at a time)
・Travel Mode recording can be used 3 times for free

■ What you can unlock by paying (one-time purchase, not a subscription)
・World Map … a color-in map of the world, the number of countries and regions you visited, a breakdown by continent, a photo list per country, and a share image of the world map. You can switch between a flat map and a globe
・Travel Mode … record routes with no limit on how many times. Recorded routes appear as lines on the map, colored by means of travel (walking, bicycle, car or bus, train, Shinkansen, airplane). GPX export, adding locations to photos based on a recorded route, and share images with the route are also available
・Unlock Both … both of the above. Cheaper than buying them separately

Travel Mode can record 3 times even without unlocking it. During those 3 times, GPX export and geotagging photos from a route are available too.

■ Privacy
・The photos themselves never leave your device. The app never sends your photos or location data anywhere
・Not a single piece of advertising or usage-analytics software is included
・There is no account registration and no login
・Writing location data back to your photo library asks for confirmation once, and can be undone afterwards. It can also be turned off in the settings
・The photo map and the route map communicate in order to show Apple's maps. The color-in maps (Japan and the world) are drawn by the app itself, so they do not communicate

■ Requirements
For iPhone only. iOS 16.0 or later.
Allow access to your photo library and the map is painted automatically. "Selected Photos" access also works, painting within the range of the photos you chose. You can also use the app without photos, registering the places you went by hand.

■ Map data sources
Based on the "National Land Numerical Information (administrative boundary data)" (Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism of Japan) 「国土数値情報（行政区域データ）」（国土交通省）, created by Nakameguro TV
Made with Natural Earth. Free vector and raster map data @ naturalearthdata.com.
Made with Natural Earth (admin-1)

### 5/5 — 楽しい見やすい

*2026-09-29*

一目でこれまで行ったところがわかるのも便利だけど、行った時期もわかるし、地図で場所まで分かるから色々思い出せて良い

最近海外に行けてないけど行きたい気持ちが湧き上がってきた

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2.1 — 2026-10-11

In Detail Mode, tap a date in an area's details to see the photos from that trip on the map. "See all photos on the map" is available too.

### 1.2.0 — 2026-10-07

Introducing Detail Mode. Color in the states, provinces and municipalities of the United States (50 states and Washington, D.C.), Thailand, the Philippines, South Korea, mainland China, Taiwan and Tokyo, each on its own color-in map.
Each of the 7 areas is a separate one-time purchase (¥200 each in Japan), so you only add what you need. Detection runs on your photos even before you buy, so each card already shows how many places you have been, such as "12 states detected, including California".
You will find the new "Detail Mode" tab in the bottom row.
Updated translations and map data credits.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-09-25

Footrip Album now speaks English, Traditional Chinese, Korean, Thai and Spanish. The app follows your device language.
Added "Overseas" as a home location.
Bug fixes.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-15

旅モードと地図まわりを直しました。

・旅モードの記録を削除できるようにしました。記録の一覧で長押しすると出ます。
・経路を HTML で書き出せるようにしました。地図と時間軸が入った 1 枚もので、開いても通信しません。GPX と同じ場所から書き出せます。
・地域の詳細で「行った / 行っていない」を自分で決められるようにしました。写真が少なくて「通っただけ」になった県も「行った」にできます。
・条件によって旅モードの記録が保存できないことがあった不具合を直しました。
・世界地図で、シンガポールのような小さな国を押したときに隣の国が開いてしまう問題を直しました。
・バチカン市国が判定されず、イタリアとして数えられていた問題を直しました。
