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 ### 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 ### 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. ### 3/5 — Best so far... *2017-10-11, version 1.1.2* I have tried a few to log my travels and I must say though it needs improvement it’s the best so far. An option for placing the pin itself rather than typing the city in would be great as I can find some on the map but it doesn’t recognise the city when typed in. ### 3/5 — Ok start, waiting for updates *2017-10-03* I like the basic set up of this app, but as it is I wouldn't pay anything for it. Definitely would like an easier way to add cities (searching just for the city in a text box, for example). Would also like a track of states for the US since that's something people also may track. That may be useful for other countries as well; I'm not knowledgeable enough in geography to know which ones. ### 3/5 — Improve this app greatly by... *2017-07-22* This app does what it's supposed to, but kind of does... Just that. It's a one trick pony. If I could ask for any feature to be added, it would be more or annotations. When I wishlist a city or country, I wanna remember WHY I did that. So why am I not able to tap on a city to tag a note for later? Or when I tap a little note will pop up with a "..." if the note is too long. (Tap to expand) An example is Nicaragua. I want to visit the city of León to someday try Volcano surfing, but there's no option to add that. The journey option could work, but it's just too bulky. I just wanna write a quick note like: Check out city, ring church bell, volcano surf. Done. Please add this as a feature? I would definitely put money on the app if that were possible, but right now, it's over priced. Everything I can do here I can do in my iPhone notepad. **Developer response:** Hi Snazzymazzy010, Thank you for your review and suggestion! I've added your suggestion to our planned features for one of the future updates. I hope the app will remain useful to you in the meantime! ### 4/5 — Simple and tidy *2017-02-10* By using this app, I reviewed myself and felt that I traveled a lot. I like this simple and clean design. If map were more interactive based on my visited countries, it would be more attractive. ### 5/5 — Awesome!!! *2017-01-31, version 1.0* You should give it a try, Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2017-01-25* For anyone that has travelled even a little, or wants to, this app is awesome. It's also great for those of us that are awful at remembering city names that I've visited. Perfect, simple travel journal and wish list. Nice job! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — Unhappy *2017-05-10* I started using this app on my trip to China. I had multiple entries for the same day I blogged them in the order. Desired and the app mixed the order up. I put pictures in the or to match my journal entry and they were switched around. The app does not work on my iPad. Many of the cities I went to are not on the app but the app required I put in a city. ### 2/5 — Adding Cities *2024-05-06* The Database and the journal are incompatible. ### 2/5 — Not free *2019-03-19, version 1.3.0* Extremely limited unless you pay for premium. ### 2/5 — Map is useless *2017-09-30, version 1.1.2* It doesn't really show in the map where you have been to. It just tells you how many countries have you visited in each continent and how many to go. ### 2/5 — Can't add anything on bucket list *2017-06-29* The travel map is pretty cool, though it would be better if they gave you the overall stats for how much of the world you've traveled. I'm deleting this app because it won't let you add more than one place to your bucket list, which is what I wanted. **Developer response:** Hi mzh021, Thank you for your review. I'm glad you liked the map. In order to add unlimited places to your bucket list, please unlock Wish List or the full app. You can do so directly in Wish List or via Settings. Hope this helps! Best, Hello World App ### 2/5 — Rubbish *2017-04-04, version 1.1.0* Trouble finding locations. Long and unorganised process to find places. Not in state order so have to scroll through literally every place. Only allowed one place on wish list before a £2 upgrade gets you an unlimited wish list. Rubbish. ### 2/5 — In theory good but not in practice *2017-03-07, version 1.1.0* Problems finding locations, can see the towns/cities on map but can't add them to the list. For goodness sake you can't add Capri?? When you manage to add a missing city you then have to go into a different section to add it to your list of 'been too'. You also can't add landmarks which aren't in cities/towns - for example Uluru- Ayers Rock. If you have been to Uluru you want to be able to mark it on your dam map. I suspect this will be an app I delete very quickly. ### 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. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 ### 5/5 — Organized Travel Map *2017-04-25* It's so easy to forget where we have been or where we want to go. I love traveling and this app meets all of my travel wish list/organization needs. It's unique and useful for the wanderlust in everyone. ### 5/5 — Great *2017-03-28* I love this app and totally recommend it!! Very easy to use and totally addictive 😀 I love to track all the countries I've visited so far and get a visual on how many more I can still travel too. If you like to travel get this app ### 5/5 — Hello World *2017-03-13* It's amazing! Keep up the great work. - Caroline ### 5/5 — Useful app *2017-03-06* This is a useful app for anyone that likes to travel. It let you keep track of your journey. Great idea. ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2017-03-01, version 1.1.0* Awesome and amazing app . I really enjoy to use this app . It really help me so much in work ### 5/5 — Cool *2017-02-25, version 1.1.0* Hello world app is very helpful for me, smart feature, I love it, will recommended to all my friends, Five star for this work ❤️❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — Love it! *2017-02-23* Love how you can keep track of all the cities traveled, and it's easy to search and add them. I'll be using the wish list to help plan my future trips! ### 5/5 — The best travel app wishlist and journal *2017-02-23* I love this app! It's got everything you could ever need for keeping track of travel memories. Plus it lets you keep a wishlist of the places you want to go. No other app does all these things. ### 5/5 — Cool app *2017-02-23, version 1.1.0* I love it! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
