### 1/5 — It had potential

*2019-08-22*

This app could be an amazing way to track your trips, and the places one wants to visit. However the fact that it only allows you to select the entire country instead of the actual city you are visiting is a a ket down. For example I have lived in Miami Fl USA. But when I tap on it it ether says I have lived in all USA or non at all.

### 3/5 — Pretty but some fundamental issues

*2019-03-27*

Very pretty and easy to use but does not permit logging in if not connected to a fb account. Belgium does not appear as a country but rather is divided into Flanders and Walloon part... why?!? Hong Kong can be marked separately from China but Macao cannot and yet they are both special administrative regions.

### 5/5 — It's Perfect

*2017-10-17*

I'm very happy.. I searched it for many days.

### 5/5 — Really good

*2017-08-25*

Really good country tracker. Probably my favorite user interface of all of them on iTunes (and trust me I've tried them all haha)

It needs a way to search for countries or at least add the ones that are too small to click on. E.g Vatican City, Monaco, San Marino. If that is added it will be perfect.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2017-08-18*

Beautiful design, amazing user experience, nice functionality. I like this app.

### 5/5 — Awesome app!

*2017-08-16*

I like traveling a lot and I think this app is great for those like me. I used to have an offline scratch map, but having everything on my phone is much more convenient. Moreover, I can share it on my Facebook and see my friends' maps which makes it even more fun! Definitely recommend this app for everyone to try!
