## What is whereUbeen?

After a short set-up, you only need to open the app when you want to see details of your travels. The app automatically records driving & walking tracks, distances etc and trip details with no need for any app entry. 
At any time you can:
  •  See a map of where you’ve been today, for any day, a selection of days, or a trip. 
  •  See a list of every place you’ve stopped and for how long on any day. 
  •  See a daily graph of your driving distance and time, and walking steps and distance. 
  •  See a log listing daily travel details (your overnight address, number of nights there, driving time, driving distance etc.) for selected days, all days or all days on a trip. Also has buttons for each day to show a map or stops during that day or photos taken that day. 
  •  See a log of all your trips with trip details (driving time, driving distance etc.). Also has buttons for each trip to show a map or a log of days for that trip.
  •  See a summary spreadsheet for any trip where for every overnight place it shows: the address, arrival date, departure date, number of nights spent there, distance from last place and 12 other details.

After you enter a home address the app will automatically start recording a trip whenever you spend a night away from home.

The app achieves the ideal balance between accuracy and low battery drain for practical non-stop GPS tracking. Although the app has been optimised to achieve low battery drain it utilises location background mode which (though unlikely) could dramatically decrease battery life.

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2025-08-26, version 1.70 (6)*

Love this app, does everything I need. Easy to use

### 1/5 — VERY confusing to set up.

*2024-09-30*

I’ve tried twice, unsuccessfully, to set up. I don’t want walk time or flight time, only drive time for local trips. If I don’t go somewhere for a couple of days it puts in nights stayed over and continues as a trip. The second time I tried it it had recorded over 200 trips with no mileage recorded. Don’t know where that came from. I want a trip to start from home and end on return to home then start a new trip the next time. Doesn’t seem to be able to do that!

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear you found the app confusing.  There are only two steps to setting up the app: 1) Enter your home address through a button on the settings page called 'set home location'. 2) Set 'Allow Location Access'  to 'Always' either through the flashing  button at the bottom of the Home Page or when prompted by your iPhone.  The app will now run continuously in the background and automatically record a trip whenever you spend a night away from home. It is designed for travelling, for recording local day trips. It was designed to run continuously in background using 5% to 10% of the iPhone battery capacity per day. I hope this helps.

### 5/5 — Excellent trip record app

*2023-02-14, version 1.54(6)*

This App was extremely helpful at producing a map of a recent 5333km trip to a very remote part of Australia and providing a daily breakdown of the distances travelled.

### 5/5 — Wow

*2023-01-25, version 1.54(6)*

What a great little app. Was looking for something that tracked our holiday to look back on. This is perfect!

### 5/5 — Excellent tracking app

*2022-06-11, version 1.41(16)*

This app provides a reliable back up to my blog, and best of all with no input from me. Does not appear to use much data. It allows me to look back on where I was and how far I travelled (or walked!) on any given day. Highly recommend.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.74 (1) — 2026-07-13

This update fixes a few bugs and adds one new capability: 
* Air flight travel is now being recorded and mapped (again).
* When you’re on a trip a number appears on the app’s icon that indicates the number of days spent on the current trip. This number was occasionally displaying the wrong number. Now fixed. 
* In the Days section the drive start and stop times are now adjusted to their local time zone. 
* The recorded walking distance and steps now incorporates information from your Apple Watch if you have one, along with the info from your iPhone.

### 1.71 (3) — 2025-11-06

A thorough review of WhereUBeen has lead to bug fixes and improvements in many places including updates to: Days, Days Map, Days Stops, Trip Map, Last night’s stop distance, Days on trip, Set home location and “Record this Location” (which is now called “Mark this spot”).

### 1.70 (6) — 2025-08-16

Thanks to feedback from a user I have found several issues with the Trip Map leading to a significant rework. I believe the Trip Map now displays accurate information. While there I also modified it so that now, all dates and times correspond to the time zone where they were recorded.  This will be particularly important for international trips.

### 1.69 (1) — 2025-05-08

I found and fixed a bug which had caused the app to crash if Trip Summary was chosen when no trips had been recorded.

### 1.68 (2) — 2025-04-17

I have found and fixed several bugs:
* In the ‘Days’ section, the start time and stop time had been converted to the local times of where the app was being used. The times are now reported using the time zone of where they were originally recorded.  
* In the ‘Trips’ section the year-to-date statistics had been calculated incorrectly .  This has been fixed.
* The daily check to determine if you are ‘On trip’ had been missing the last day of a trip. This bug also occurred in the ‘Day repair’ function (Settings page) and has been corrected in the daily check and the ‘Day repair’ function.
