At a glance, you can see where you’ve already been, with a warm edge around your discovered area. * When zoomed out, the fog fills in much more smoothly — no more areas coloring in one by one. * Street names remain readable much further out, until you can see roughly a city and its surrounding villages. * Zoom out and back in, and the map stays where it should. Previously, it could sometimes fall back to an empty blue area. * Have “Increase Contrast” enabled in iOS? Tovin automatically makes the fog even clearer. ### 2.0 — 2026-08-29 No release notes. ## Apps similar to Tovin | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [EarthLord](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/earthlord/id6755725953) | — | Free | Games | | [GeoChopper: Learn Geography](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/geochopper-learn-geography/id6783961674) | — | Free | Games | | [Hidden Quest: Find Objects](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/hidden-quest-find-objects/id6742908711) | 5.0 (4) | Free | Games | | [Raft Adventures](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/raft-adventures/id6756353961) | 4.3 (23) | Free | Games | | [Life & Suffering of Sir Brante](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/life-and-suffering-of-sir-brante/id1602004787) | 4.7 (87) | Free | Games | | [Eternal Bonds: Demon's Bane](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/eternal-bonds-demons-bane/id6761411025) | — | Free | Games | ## More apps by Richard van der Gulik - [Okidoky](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/okidoky/id6776190065) All apps by Richard van der Gulik: https://appshunter.io/developer/6776184792 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
