### 2/5 — Adding Cities

*2024-05-06*

The Database and the journal are incompatible.

### 3/5 — Unable to sync

*2022-10-08, version 1.3.0*

Am using app on my iPad but unable to sync with my iPhone 👎 despite paying full unlock price.

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2019-12-18*

Downloaded to keep track of my travels. The free version offered that, wish list was extra. Now you have to pay for everything. Why pay when they barely update that app and many major cities have to be manually added.

### 4/5 — Developer AWOL?

*2019-10-25*

Got this app a while back and really enjoyed using it for trips. But it seems the developer hasn’t done anything with it in a long time. Is it worth continuing use of this app if it’s not going to get another update and loses developer support. This is the best tracker I’ve used but it’s not worth using to me if no ones working on it...

### 3/5 — Please add more cities

*2019-08-19*

I wanted to use this to document my travels, but there are cities that are not listed and I want more of them listed

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2019-07-24*

I got the app to make a travel bucket list. I spent forever listing the cities I’ve already been to. When it came time to add countries I wanted to go to it said I had to pay to upgrade. So I can’t even do what I wanted the app for.

### 2/5 — Not free

*2019-03-19, version 1.3.0*

Extremely limited unless you pay for premium.

### 3/5 — Crashing Problems

*2018-08-02*

i really like the idea of it but whenever i try and search to add a place it crashes! please fix

### 5/5 — Great app for traveling.

*2018-07-29, version 1.3.0*

This is a fantastic app for capturing your travels and where you've been.   Provides a great overview of places you've been on the map and highlights them if you have a journal entry.  It allows you to edit the entry date (which I found a few other travel journals don't do), attach pictures,  and best is you can export the Journal to PDF.  Works offline and doesn't need a website registration.

Tips:  
1. I didn't quite know how to add a city in the Journal.  First in stats ah your country.  Then select the country and use the +pin in the top right and then add your city.  Then you can go to journal and select your city. 
2. Sometimes your location won't be available shirt your journal.  I just choose the nearest large city that is in the list and comment the actual location on the Journal. 

Wishlist:  it would be good to be able to change the photo order in the Journal and pick the key photo

### 3/5 — Good but needs more info

*2017-11-15*

I would like to add cities in Hawaii however there is none for Kauai. I also would like to be able to say that I went to this state instead of saying I traveled to the whole country, because I haven’t. I’ve only traveled to one province in Canada and two states in the USA, however it marks it as if I’ve traveled to all of them.
