Crashes easily and needs full photo access at all times

Seems nice on the surface but does not work well

Response from developer

Sorry to hear the app crashed. We fixed the issue and it's now resolved. The full photo access is only needed for better automatic place-photo linking. you can safely deny it if you prefer. Please update latest version and let us know if the crash is gone. Please let us know if you still face any issue, welcome to reach out us.

Beautiful app but how do I discover places and plan?

This app is stunning, but took me 10 minutes to understand how to use it (and im still not sure if im doing it right). I wanted it for planning an upcoming trip to morocco which i would usually make lists in google maps for - the route planning feature of this app made me want to try it. Unfortunately, i cant find a good way to browse places- when i click on a location I can add it, but it’s totally blank, i have to add in all details. It’s almost like you would have to do all the trip planning in another app and then import it tediously into here? Am i missing something?

so cute! 🌟

This app is so cute! I love every single thing about it! I can’t wait for when the new features come, especially when you get to plan things with friends and family :)

Response from developer

Thank you. Really glad it resonates with you. Planning with friends and family Collaboration is in progress. We’re designing it carefully so shared places and context feel natural, not cluttered. More soon. Appreciate you being here early.

难用

很多地点都搜索不出来,基础地图功能都没完成

Response from developer

感谢你的反馈。 目前地点搜索基于地图数据服务商,部分地区的收录确实可能不完整。如果你遇到很多地点无法搜索到,这是我们需要持续优化的地方。 Placify 的核心是帮助你整理和沉淀地点与内容,但基础搜索和地图体验也很重要,我们会继续改进覆盖率和准确性。 如果方便,也欢迎联系我们提供几个具体搜索不到的地点示例,这能帮助我们排查数据问题并优先优化。

Full photos access

I was looking forward to using this app to mark places that I find manually or on Instagram. However, I cannot proceed further till I give full photos access. I am not sure why is that a requirement but in 2025 and I don’t want to give any app access to my full photos library.

Response from developer

Thank you for caring about privacy. Placify doesn’t require “Full Photo Access” to use its core features; you can mark, edit, and manage places without granting photo permissions. Photo access is only for the “Memories” experience: when you revisit a saved place, photos taken at that time can be automatically associated with the place locally for easier reminiscing. You can also manually add photos at any time, or only select specific photos when needed. For stricter privacy, you can choose iOS’s “Limited Access (Selected Photos Only)” or “Add Photos Only,” and use the system photo picker. This ensures Placify only sees what you explicitly choose, never your entire library. All Placify data is stored and processed entirely on-device with zero cloud processing or upload—places, tags, and photo-place matching happen on your iPhone. We cannot and do not read your full photo library, and nothing is sent to our servers. Rest assured you’re in control.

你好,旅行规划是一个很大的场景,我们还在设计当中。希望今年年底可以有一个Beta 版出来和大家见面。

Responsive Design Broken on iPhone Mini

App is basically unusable on iPhone mini. Consistently interactive components are blocked by other components. I can't enter any places because the keyboard covers the text.

Response from developer

Thank you for reporting this problem. We’re aware that Placify’s layout needs better support for smaller screens like the iPhone mini. Our team is already working on UI improvements, and we hope to provide a smoother experience soon. Should fixed in our latest version

Perfect for personal places collection and Travel Planning

Placify fills the gap left by Apple Maps with advanced features I’ve been searching for. I’ve tried Wanderlog and Tripsy before, but it’s felt overly complicated. Placify stands out with its user friendly design and intuitive interactions, making it perfect for personal place marking and trip planning. I’ve been looking for an app like this for a long time!

Crash

Just crash on launch

Response from developer

Sorry for the crash. We just fixed the bugs on iOS17, please try out our latest version.

Just pinned my life on the globe, can’t believe it!

So obsessed with this app. Love the ideas of mapping my memories, and it is super easy to use — just upload a pic, and it pins the spot. Simple and fun! Love it!!!

Response from developer

Thanks for your kind words. We will keep on improving the app
