### 1/5 — Can’t get map to share

*2026-08-04, version 1.10.0*

Been working hours to get a map I can share. Trying to sign in shuts down app. No menu icon to get to world map. Online help doesn’t match app’s interface

### 4/5 — 赶快更新世界遗产名录

*2026-07-16*

赶快更新世界遗产名录

### 3/5 — Viele Funktionen out of work

*2026-06-26*

Ich erwarb die Pro+ Version. Keine Synchronisation von IPad zu IPhone, keine Flaggenkarte, keine Bewertung möglich.

### 5/5 — Best

*2026-06-24, version 1.9.1*

This is by far my favorite way to track where I’ve been

### 2/5 — Badly Outdated

*2026-06-12, version 1.9.1*

This app is missing a number of popular destinations and has a terribly outdated UI. There are also duplicate locations listed under multiple names. This is the worst of the travel trackers I’ve used so far but one of the highest rated.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2026-05-25*

Perfect to keep track of all places you visit , the ones you loved and want to visit again, and the ones you want to go!!
Very easy to use and track!!
Recommend 100%!

### 1/5 — Very buggy

*2026-05-12*

Fun to add the places I’ve travelled, but then can’t sign in to look at the whole map or share it - app closes down each time I click ’sign in’

### 3/5 — Ports

*2026-04-30, version 1.9.1*

Not all ports loading up on App

### 2/5 — Cities missing or misnamed

*2026-04-10*

Penang Island, St. Louis MO, are both missing. If I found those in ten minutes, I can’t imagine what else is missing. It would also be nice to have major museums and landmarks on the app. And the flag buttons are obnoxiously big. Make a way to just pin the place and not have to use the country’s flag.

### 1/5 — Seems to be dead

*2026-04-08*

Developer website not responding, so can’t report problem. Synchronization not working - app can’t connect to server. Looks like this is a dead app.
