### 5/5 — Great App

*2025-12-29*

Just wish I could select Antarctica.

### 3/5 — Where’s the detail on the countries?

*2024-03-30*

After scratching out the county or state there’s nothing else to see or learn.

### 2/5 — Incomplete

*2023-09-20, version 1.1*

Visually one of my favourite tracking maps but it doesn’t actually have all countries listed so incomplete

### 3/5 — Missing countries

*2023-07-24, version 1.1*

Fun app however it is missing countries. For example, Singapore and Malta. Also, the UK is made up of four countries: England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Recommend that the UK be split into the respective countries.

### 5/5 — Great Other Countries and States

*2023-04-25, version 1.1*

Singapore?

Also please add states to other countries. Eg Australia

### 5/5 — Great app

*2023-03-15*

I love that this app includes countries and US states! It is very simple to use. It would be so cool if it had a layover option or if you could count the times you have been to one place.

### 1/5 — Countries missing?!

*2023-02-14, version 1.1*

Shame it doesn’t zoom in far enough and some countries are missing. I’m not that well travelled but Malta is missing amongst others.

### 4/5 — Review

*2022-12-06*

Pity you don’t have small countries as Andorra, San Marino, Monaco…

### 2/5 — Doh!

*2022-12-03, version 1.1*

Doesn’t have Maldives! A country!

### 1/5 — Missing lots of countries

*2022-07-24*

Literally missing dozens of UN recognized countries.   St Vincent, Dominica, Federated States of Micronesia…the list goes on. It appears they just left anything that was small physically but it defeats the point of the app.
