Viele Funktionen out of work

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

Great app!

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%!

Very buggy

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’

Ports

Not all ports loading up on App

Cities missing or misnamed

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.

Seems to be dead

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.

Great app, but…

I have been looking for something like this to mark my husband and i’s adventures.. the only thing I wish you could do is add sites if they aren’t listed.. there our several national sites not listed and cruise spots.. even in Scotland and England some great sites aren’t there..

Other than that I love the app.. hope it keeps improving.

Syncing across devices

Unable to sync which makes me nervous if/when I get a new phone I’ll lose all my data

So deleted the app redownloaded before I did too much and of course all data lost. TRASH.

not without problems

a) Purchased the Pro+ after having purchased the Pro (no netting of cost), b) towns/villages far above 500 inhabitantss are not automatically displayed (different to what is promised; and that is why I had to purchase the paid versions of the app, c) sharing of charts/places needs a login (to Google as it seems) but when I click on “login” the app just quit working.

赶快更新世界遗产

Plz update 2025‘s world heritage as soon as possible!I CANNOT pin them in your app!

Could be good

I purchased all of the add-ons when I had a iPhone 13promax. I got a 16 and neither my purchase nor two years worth of meticulously tracked places I had been vanished and I can’t recover them. My purchased which were supposed to be lifetime did not carry over either like every other app I have bought a lifetime license for.

Let down

The app is amazing for “tourist” places, I’ve paid for the subscription and still can’t mark islands I’ve visited even tho it’s already on the map, apparently the population isn’t enough so I have to pay more to mark it! Absolute joke! Also needs a better lay out for marking cities/islands/ areas in counties!!!

Glitchy

Great concept but glitchy

Ie you can’t print your maps. When you try the apps says you must sign in but when you hit sign in with Google the app crashes. I tied everything- reboot phone, etc, it still crashes every time.

Useless - no countries

It only has airports, cities in the US etc…you cannot pick countries. Completely useless app!

I’ve given up. TERRIBLE APP. TERRIBLE SERVICE

I paid for the full app and paid for the unesco sites . After tagging 900 cities and towns it was all erased.
Why?
1. If you use the app on two devices and back it up to your Google account it will not sync. Put another way.. your ipad will have one back up and iPhone another.
2. Poor service. Trite responses.
3. Dead facebook page

After getting wrong info from the “support” i lost all the data. 3 years of work.

My lesson
1.trust branded companies not apps that are just side gigs or a firm that wont be around in a year.
2. If the service is poor thats a sign to delete the app

The only benefit? Got a refund from Apple.

For a app based in Switzerland i expected more.

Have i visited there? I dont know as my dat is all gone…

Previous review…
Generally a very good app. I cant find one better or more straightforward. Other apps are cluttered and full of ads and silly travel tips. A few issues..
1. Support is not great.
2. No updates on app
3. Countries not all in alphabetical order. ( china first? Then near the end is Canada?)
4. When adding a new place the pop up box is very tiny
5.paying for pro still requires you to pay more for unesco sites. Boo.
6. Not all social media links on app have activity or updates
7. Using the app on two devices is buggy. I am trying to use my main google email to sync on my phone , but it keeps going back to another account. Deleted and reinstalled but no luck.

Wish the app owner took a bit more time to update bugs. It would really be excellent!

I just hope the app doesnt blow up and all the data is lost

Response from developer

Hello, kindly refer to our FAQ, your question should be answered there: https://www.placesbeen.net/placesbeen/faq You need to login and backup your places to our server. You can then download them on your other device. We are working for an automated sync in the future. Best regards

In progress

Good idea but there are lots of missing sites, I’ve bought the ports and the button is empty, no way to access it! You should add a possibility to upload our photos to places.

Pourrait être mieux

Pas assez précis sur les lieux visités (villes, parcs naturels, etc.) Manque des moyens de connexions autre que Google… dommage
