### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2026-06-24, version 4.1.4*

Using this app keeps us safe within our tourist visa allowance

### 5/5 — Simply the best!

*2026-06-20, version 4.1.4*

So simple to use. Immediately gives you exactly the info you want. Past trips & future plannin

### 5/5 — Great tool

*2026-06-17, version 4.1.4*

Schengen Simple is a reliable and easy to use app so you always know your Schengen status: when you can go, how long you can stay, etc.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-06-01, version 4.1.3*

Great app, takes the stress out of the 90/180 day rule, very easy to use and understand, I would highly recommend to anyone who travels a lot within the Schengen area

### 5/5 — Absolute must-have

*2026-05-29*

As a FREQUENT business traveler, it became evident that I needed to track my days in the Schengen area or risk overstaying my allowance. This app has been a lifesaver. The best bit might be the look-ahead view where I can see how many days I WILL have, not just how many I DO have. With its two modes (planning and passport control), I can easily see where I stand and whether I need to recruit a colleague to cover upcoming needs. 
While it’s not worthy of losing a star, I do wish I could add trips outside the zone as well, and I’m told this is coming soon. 
I recommend this app to anyone who needs to be mindful of their Schengen time, as it’s clean, simple, and very easy to use.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review! Glad we're keeping you on the right side of the 90/180 rule. Adding trips outside the zone is indeed on our list and coming very soon! Safe and happy travels!

### 5/5 — Simple? Schengen not, Schengen simple is.

*2026-05-23, version 4.1.0*

It does what it says on the tin. Perfect for frequent visitors to the EU. Intuitive and clear enough for les agents de la frontière.

### 5/5 — The best

*2026-05-22, version 4.1.0*

This app has been a life saver!! We nearly messed up which would have been a devastating blow. The app is simple and user-friendly which is imperative for this 65 year old. I highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Using the planner

*2026-05-20, version 4.0.5*

Very helpful especially if you make frequent trips to the Schengen Zone. We only visit one country but this is invaluable if you make multiple trips to the various countries that make up the Schengen Zone. The graphics are neat and it’s easy to input the trip data and just as important it is just as easy to retrieve the information and add future trip data.

### 5/5 — Fabulous

*2026-05-13, version 4.0.5*

This app is just what I need and so easy to use. Customer service is excellent for support when needed

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-05-12, version 4.0.4*

I like to travel to Europe off and on all year and this app helps me keep track so that I’m legally traveling back-and-forth.

### 5/5 — Lifesaver if you travel in Europe

*2026-05-10, version 4.0.4*

This very simple rule - 90/180 - gets complicated when you dip in/out of the zone. This app sorts it all out and makes it easy to convince the border police to let you keep traveling without problems.

### 5/5 — Le meilleur

*2026-05-05*

Le meilleur

**Developer response:** Merci beaucoup pour votre avis ! Heureux de vous savoir du bon côté de la règle 90/180. Bons voyages !

### 5/5 — Very useful

*2026-04-30*

I hesitated to spend any money at all to perform what seems to be simple arithmetic, but this app has become nearly indispensable to my travels in and out of the Schengen area. It is well-designed and supported by clear documentation. I like that the author solicits suggestions. I offered one and was pleased to find it is in the works.

**Developer response:** Thank you, Albert! The 90/180 rule looks like simple arithmetic until you realize there's no fixed window, with thousands of rolling 180-day periods to check. Thanks again for your suggestion, which helps shape what we build.
Safe travels!

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-04-27, version 4.0.3*

I’d like to travel to Europe often on all year and this app helps me keep track so that I’m legally traveling back-and-forth.

### 5/5 — Stayin’ Out of Trouble

*2026-04-18*

The Schengen Simple app is the cornerstone of European travel planning and ease of mind. My wife and I have temporary residency in one Schengen country, but must be mindful of the limitations during our extensive travels elsewhere across Europe. The Duo plan is perfect for us, since we are not always in the same place at the same time. This new plan allows us to forecast a year or more into the future, with great assurance that we have not messed up the complicated “Schengen math”. The nominal subscription price is well worth the peace of mind. I highly recommend this app for anyone, or group, that is regularly traveling in and out of the Schengen zone.

**Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your experience! Great to hear the Duo plan fits how you and your wife travel, even when you're apart.  Glad we're giving you confidence to plan freely without second-guessing the "Schengen math". Your recommendation means a lot. 
Safe travels!

### 5/5 — Easy Traveling in Europe

*2026-04-18, version 4.0.1*

Schengen Simple is the only app you need to keep your travels legal. It makes a complicated process so very “Simple”. 

It’s just brilliant.

### 5/5 — Super easy

*2026-04-09, version 3.2.1*

Super easy to use. Travelling to Europe and being very close to the limits, I now know exactly where I stand to avoid overstays.
Support from the vendor is also fantastic. Definitely recommend the app

### 5/5 — Great tool

*2026-04-09, version 3.2.1*

Tried other tools. As they point out this tool is not just a tracker it is a true
 planner.  Very Intuitive but also has great examples on how to use it. I highly recommend it!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — “Hidden” Low Price

*2026-04-05, version 3.2.1*

Only after paying FULL 
$US9.99, plus tax, did site reveal a $SEVEN.99 annual rate. Poor way to start with a new service!

### 1/5 — Bugs galore

*2026-01-23, version 3.2*

Random trips that I did not take appear in calendar and cannot be deleted

### 1/5 — No longer calculates days left correctly

*2025-05-29, version 3.0.5*

No longer calculates correctly; still useful to keep as record of when you fly and how many days per trip, but you must do the final calculations for X Days out of the past 180 because the app no longer calculates that correctly

### 1/5 — Scam

*2025-05-26, version 3.0.5*

I loaded this app and when I saw that they charged $9.99 a year, I clicked the close “x”. Instead of closing so I could remove the app, it proceeded to charge me $9.99. I have cancelled and will monitor my credit card to see if they still try to charge me

### 1/5 — it started out saying free

*2025-03-12, version 3.0.4*

and its not

### 1/5 — In app purchase means purchase app itself.

*2024-01-22, version 2.2.12*

I hate these apps! Maybe it is me, but “in app purchase”, used to mean extras or premium versions. Here it means the app itself. Nothing works until you buy the app, and then you get a 7 day trial. I don’t know how hard it would be to get refunded, because I went to different apps.

### 2/5 — Misleading “Allowance Today” Label

*2026-06-29, version 4.1.5*

I believe the developers should change the “Allowance today” label to “Days Used” or “Allowance Used” because the current wording is incorrect and misleading. The number shown represents the days that have already been used, not the number of days remaining.

I recently went through immigration at Copenhagen Airport, and the immigration officer also pointed out that this label is misleading and could confuse travellers about their Schengen stay.

This is an important issue because travellers rely on this app to stay within the Schengen 90/180-day rule. Please update the label to the correct wording to avoid confusion and maintain the accuracy of the information shown.

### 2/5 — Why is it subscription based?

*2026-03-01, version 3.2*

The app is so nice and beautiful, however, there is no need to make it subscription based, that is just insane
There is nothing that requires any subscription, and it should be just one time purchase or a paid app and that is it

### 2/5 — Why is it subscription based?

*2024-06-09, version 2.3.2*

The app is so nice and beautiful, however, there is no need to make it subscription based, that is just insane
There is nothing that requires any subscription, and it should be just one time purchase or a paid app and that is it

### 4/5 — Good but not great

*2026-05-10, version 4.0.4*

Somehow while this seems like a simple straightforward tool, it does get a bit confusing. It’s helping me to track the days but I think it’s overthunk à few elements.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Schengen made Simple

*2026-08-18, version 4.2*

An App that does precisely what it says it will do, take the fiendishly non-intuitive Schengen rules and makes them simple to understand and better still easy to adhere to.

### 5/5 — Best 90/180 tool out there!

*2026-08-18, version 4.2*

I’ve been using this app for quite a while, and I’m thrilled with the changes in this latest version. As a FREQUENT business traveller it became evident that I needed to track my days in the Schengen area or risk overstaying my allowance. This app has been a lifesaver. The best bit might be the look-ahead view where I can see how many days I WILL have, not just how many I ALREADY have. With its two modes (planning and passport control) I can easily see where I stand and whether I need to recruit a colleague to cover upcoming needs. 
The newest upgrade includes some terrific additions that now let me include non-Schengen trips too, so I can easily plan my entire travel itinerary. They’ve also tweaked some features, added same day exit/entry options, document storage, and other useful upgrades. Everything was well thought out and works flawlessly.
I recommend this app without reservation to anyone who needs to be mindful of their Schengen time. It’s clean, simple and very easy to use.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-08-18, version 4.2*

Great app, takes the stress out of the 90/180 day rule, very easy to use and understand, I would highly recommend to anyone who travels a lot within the Schengen area as we do

### 5/5 — Helpful program

*2026-08-16, version 4.1.9*

A little complicated for an older person, me,  but spoke to a guy called George who explained the system in lay terms. 
Now 96% understood , looking forward to the app.keeping me legal !!
.

### 5/5 — Really helpful

*2026-08-11, version 4.1.9*

I travel a lot and have a nightmare tracking days in and out of Europe. This app has been super useful in tracking

### 5/5 — I needed this!

*2026-08-10*

I’ve been struggling to figure out how to manage my travels in and out of the Schengen zone without overstaying the 90 day limit. I downloaded this app last night, entered my travel dates for the past six months and future four months and voilà! I can see clearly when I can squeeze in extra time in Spain. Brilliant.

### 5/5 — Sooo helpful

*2026-08-03, version 4.1.9*

Easy & helpful to navigate

### 5/5 — Great App that works well

*2026-07-27, version 4.1.9*

For tracking your time spent in the Schengen Zone this app lives up to it name - Simple. Simple to use but incredibly useful. Couldn’t imagine tracking our days in the EU any other way.

### 5/5 — Essential

*2026-07-11, version 4.1.7*

Schengen Simple is essential when it comes to understanding the nuances of the 90/180 rule. The app is indispensable in helping you navigate your stay. The key feature is future planning, which the app allows you to do with confidence.

### 5/5 — Very responsive

*2026-07-07, version 4.1.6*

I had multiple questions on two trips that were non-Schengen countries and received a response back within 24 hours each time. The reply was very thorough and George took the time with full explanation. Very pleased!
