### 3/5 — Great App - slows down a bit with use

*2026-03-29, version 1.3.0*

Have had this app for 8 months now, only have it on when going new places but I use it consistently. Now there is a 3-5 second wait time whenever I open the app, as it loads everything in, kinda annoying but it’s the simplest one of these apps and ya can’t beat free 🤷‍♂️

### 3/5 — Exactly what I needed.

*2025-06-28, version 1.3.0*

Please let us download the GPX file

### 3/5 — Pretty cool

*2025-05-11, version 1.3.0*

Awesome concept really enjoyable but  I think you should add some more features like maybe some kinda global leaderboard for all players or something like that to maybe incentivize playing for a longer time that would be really cool

### 4/5 — i like it but theres issues

*2025-12-02, version 1.3.0*

I think this app is cool, and I like how you can even turn your location indicator into a cat, but I’m having issues with random dots appearing in places I’ve never been. Also, I think the radius is a little too big, it marks places I haven’t been because it’s so wide. Other than that, it’s pretty cool, and it’s free so that’s a w

### 4/5 — Simple, but it works!

*2025-07-16, version 1.3.0*

Tap the start button and the app will blot out a wide (about 250ft diameter) circle wherever you go on the map. Tap stop and it stops doing that. That’s essentially what the app does! As a biker, however, it makes it easier to see new sights and switch up my routes around the city, so I think anyone with an adventurous spirit would really appreciate this app.

I think this app is missing something important. I haven’t done this yet, but it would be annoying if I accidentally left the app operating when I’m not biking, since there would be no way to edit what the app recorded. So, a way to undo some of the progress it recorded would be appreciated. In a similar vein, it would be useful to be able to view specific journeys you’ve gone on. The app overlays all progress it’s recorded at once, so you can’t make out individual journeys you’ve taken if you don’t remember them exactly.

But those are small things. I still really appreciate this app, and it’s free! No ads, either. Definitely worth trying.

### 4/5 — Good

*2025-07-03, version 1.3.0*

Overall I love this app. Way better than most of the other ones out there and super easy to use. The couple things I would add to just make it that more personal is to be able to scratch off in an edit mode. Since the only thing is once you get the app you can have it on but it does not account for the places you have been previously. I would love to have an accurate map of everywhere I have been by being able to scratch off your own portions of the map in an edit mode.

### 4/5 — Good

*2024-11-09*

I really like this app, I just wish you were able to keep it on in the background all the time instead of having to turn it off and on. I also wish you could sign into an account as a backup to
Restore your info.

### 5/5 — Wow

*2026-04-25, version 1.3.0*

I love this sm

### 5/5 — Literally the best app I’ve ever  installed

*2024-11-22, version 1.3.0*

I absolutely love this app, especially the adds or even the pop up one too. I even tried different apps at the same time and nun compared to this one. 

A couple things I would thing would be nice is maybe some more customization or like it shows how many times you e been on the same road. Another thing would be to have the map rotate around the icon instead of having to rotate the map to be pointing in the direction you are. 

Other than that 10/10 would recommend this app for everyone.

### 5/5 — Great free app

*2024-10-02, version 1.3.0*

Was using fog of world, can’t justify buying another copy after switching to iPhone and found this. It’s at least as good, except not having features to backup which is kind of nice to have.

### 5/5 — Worth it

*2024-09-29, version 1.3.0*

I had this app since June this is the app I dream off because I had this other one but u had to pay to use it I like it’s free this app is the best app but one question so I was checking my progress and I saw I was in New York jersey but I was never there in my life i don’t know if this is a glitch but overall best app ever.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2024-09-22, version 1.3.0*

Love this app perfect for exploring ECT but I wish I had the ability to transfer data iPhone to iPhone like the data was in a folder you could access and when you change phones you can just send the file to your new phone and load it up and also I wish that outside of the areas you exploored you could not see.

### 5/5 — This is simplicity at it’s best

*2024-09-17, version 1.3.0*

The app does what it says in the most simple, practical and secure manner. Loving it so far! I wish I had it a few years ago (brb retracing the steps from my entire life)

### 5/5 — This is the app I dreamed of as a kid

*2024-08-07, version 1.3.0*

I’ve always thought about how cool it would be to be able to track every single place I’ve been to before. I love exploring new places so this app is perfect for tracking what I have already seen and haven’t seen yet. 

Never before has an app made me want to go outside more. This app has been more effective at motivating me to go biking than any fitness app I’ve downloaded. It is so satisfying slowly uncovering more and more. It is also fascinating to see how much you still haven’t seen. I never realized how many roads I haven’t been on.

There are a few similar apps to this but none of them come close to this one. All the other apps are constantly harvesting data or asking for subscriptions. This app is simple and pure, and I love it. I wish more apps were like this.

The only thing I would change is the radius of the area uncovered. Currently it is a little narrow  so it barely covers both sides of the road.

Amazing app, I totally recommend installing it!

### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed.

*2024-08-01*

I wanted an app to record where I’ve been with gps. I am also incredibly cognizant of privacy and data brokering, which would be an issue with a gps app tracking my every move. Their privacy policy ( of no sharing data ) along with no purchases, and an incredibly simple interface with no pop up’s or extraneous Add ons is perfect. An app that does what it says, and nothing you don’t want it to do.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your thoughtful review! Our commitment to simplicity and data protection is at the core of what we do.  Every review like yours helps us improve and grow. Thank you for choosing and supporting our app!

### 5/5 — Coooool

*2024-07-19, version 1.3.0*

I just like the app
