Would be nice if it took the shortest path as I do a lot of travel between the US and AUS / NZ / JPN ### 1/5 — Tout est payant c’est insupportable *2025-09-11, version 2.07* Tout est payant c’est insupportable ### 1/5 — No comprar *2025-09-10, version 2.06* La aplicación tiene un look and feel horrible y pocas funcionalidades pague 10$ y cancele de una vez la suscripción prácticamente los regale pues no dejaba ver nada gratis. En fin no gasten su dinero ahí no vale la pena!! ### 1/5 — Impossible de démarrer l’application sans s’abonner.. vente forcée? *2025-09-08, version 2.05* Je voulais tester l’application sans inscription / sans achat, c’est impossible… ### 1/5 — *Everything* is behind a paywall *2025-08-25, version 2.03* It’s entirely pointless unless you pay. ### 1/5 — Cash grab *2025-08-03, version 1.97* I cannot see any of this app’s features without getting through its scammy offers and making them so hard to close The prices don’t make any sense either ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2025-07-30* I came across a sponsored ad on Facebook so I downloaded it. Right away I tried to have it scan all my pictures. It couldn’t do it. It limit to up to two years OK I tried the last two years. Let it scan twice Both times had some glitch in the system nothing happened the app just dropped me out I was happy I found a good app but it is worthless unfortunately **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback and for giving our app a try! 🙏 We’d like to clarify that there is no time limit when scanning your photos—the app can scan your entire photo library. However, please note that not all photos contain location data, so only photos with this information will be added to your travel history. We’re sorry for any trouble you experienced, and we’re continuously working to improve the app’s stability and features. ### 1/5 — Deceptive Marketing *2025-07-16* Don’t download! Reporting to Apple, app not transparent, I suspect its function is to grab data and track. Hard pass. No way to try before you buy, it doesn’t allow you to do anything or try anything. Beware. Deleted it within 5 minutes after downloading. Reporting to Apple, app not transparent, I suspect its function is to grab data and track.

Do not download the app, there is a paywall for everything ### 1/5 — I want a refund! *2025-06-27, version 1.86* I downloaded it, saw that it was too expensive, refused to pay, then there came a "gift" that said 75₺ a month", i said well, for that price i can try it for a month, then I got a notification saying i just paid 890₺ for it?!?!?!? I want my money back! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Pointless *2025-12-31* A hilariously pointless app that gives you absolutely no unique information or data that a simple LLM or your native weather app can’t feed you The animation feature isn’t even functional Waste of money **Developer response:** We’re sorry you had a disappointing experience 🙏. The app offers several unique travel tools in one place, including: 💵 Free & low-fee ATMs in 80+ countries, 🌦️ local weather, 💱 currency converter (200+ currencies), 🌍 visa rules by passport, 💼 embassy contacts, 🗓️ country stay calendar, and ✈️ live airport arrivals & departures. The animation feature has been improved in recent updates.

I can’t figure out how to move things up and down to get in sequence of how they really happened. It’s not easy to use. :( I think I wasted my money ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2025-11-17* Can't get past first page of the app without it crashing tracking location on photos. 😑 **Developer response:** Sorry for the crash 😑. This usually happens when too many photos are scanned at once. Please try selecting a smaller date range — it should work smoothly. If you still have issues, feel free to contact us via Settings → Contact Us 🙏 ### 1/5 — Free version is useless *2025-10-26, version 2.12* Nothing available if don’t pay ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-10-22, version 2.11* You cannot use the app without paying, it doesn’t even allow you into the main menu, just a loop cycle in the “free gift” which is a subscription to their app…. ### 1/5 — SCAM *2025-10-17, version 2.10* Why you are saying that the app is free and there are only In-App purchases when since you download it you can’t basically use it without subscribing on something. Just write down : APP costs 9.99 per month on whatever ### 1/5 — Yüklemeyin bosuna *2025-10-16, version 2.10* Uygulama tamamen ücretli para ödemeden ara yüz dahi açılmıyor ### 1/5 — Unintuitive app *2025-10-07* Asks for access to photos and location. Then gets stuck in a loop trying to upsell you and then, if you manage to escape that, you have to deal with the most unintuitive interface. Life is too short! **Developer response:** We’re sorry to hear about your frustrating experience and truly appreciate your feedback. 🙏 To clarify: photo and location access are optional — they’re used only to help you automatically create travel routes and summaries. You can skip these permissions and enter your data manually at any time. We’re also improving the onboarding flow and interface to make the experience smoother and clearer, and your comment helps us focus on that. Thank you for giving the app a try — we’ll keep working to make it better. 🌍✨ ### 1/5 — Muy mala *2025-10-03, version 2.09* Poco amigable, contenido generado no es atractivo, le falta mucho desarrollo. ### 1/5 — expressive *2025-09-11, version 2.07* expressive so expressive ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Trips *2025-10-05, version 2.09* Kaif ### 5/5 — Mi experiencia *2025-09-30, version 2.09* Me encanta ### 5/5 — Good *2025-09-25, version 2.09* Good ### 5/5 — Good travel app for my trip *2025-08-11, version 2.0* I used this app when I visited Portugal last month. The currency conversion was fast and very useful when paying in cash. I also liked the local weather alerts, helped me avoid some rain one day. The visa info was easy to check for my French passport, and I used the stay calendar to see how many days I still have. The airport departures list was nice to check before going to the airport, so I didn’t rush for nothing. Only thing, the trip video was fun but missed one city I visited, maybe GPS problem. Still, the app is helpful and I will keep it for my next travels. ### 5/5 — Good travel app *2025-08-06, version 1.98* So, I was in France for work and wanted to keep track of my days for the Schengen zone. The country calendar is actually very helpful, I almost lost count before! The app also show live airport arrivals which was cool for checking my friend’s flight. I like the part with embassy contacts, because you never know what happens far from home. I checked visa requirements for Romanian passport, and it was pretty fast. Not sure about safety scores, sometimes looks confusing, but maybe just me. Would be cool if you can change some colors in the app, but it’s ok. Good app for traveling, just needs some small improvements. ### 5/5 — Actually really useful *2025-07-23, version 1.94* Didn’t expect to use this app as much as I did but ended up checking it almost every day during my trip. The visa info by passport is super handy (saved me some last-minute stress), and the stay day tracker helped me not go over in Schengen. The ATM map is a cool feature too, found some low-fee ones in cities I didn’t know well. Maybe could be even better if we could save favorite places or airports? Just an idea. But overall really helpful and worth having while traveling. ### 5/5 — So much potential *2025-07-07, version 1.92* It’s so worth the money now but has so much potential, and the devs are so responsive. Every issue I’ve had has been fixed within 12 hours, including features I’ve asked for. ### 5/5 — Great little app for travel tracking *2025-07-03, version 1.91* I’ve been using this during my recent trips around Italy and it works really well. It tracks everything without needing to do much, which I really appreciate. The calendar view is super helpful, and the design is clean and easy to understand. Would be nice to have a few more themes or maybe support for more languages, but overall I’m very happy with it. ### 5/5 — Solid app for travelers *2025-07-01* Been using this app for a few weeks now and honestly, it’s been super useful. I move around a lot for both work and fun, and this helps me keep track without thinking too much about it. It runs smooth, the layout’s clean, and I didn’t need a tutorial or anything. Would love a few more options for customizing the widgets, but overall, no cọmplaints. Really glad I found it. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊 We're really happy to hear the app has been helpful for both your work and travel — that’s exactly what we hoped it would do. We appreciate your feedback about widget customization too; it’s a great idea and something we’ll definitely consider for future updates. Thanks again for using the app and sharing your experience — it means a lot! 🙏✈️🗺️ ### 5/5 — Really handy little app *2025-06-26, version 1.85* Didn’t expect to use it this much, but it’s honestly been so useful. Been travelling around a bit lately and it’s helped me keep track without having to write everything down. Super easy to use and the interface is clean, which I appreciate. Would be nice to have a few extra features like custom alerts, but for what it does, it’s spot on. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
