### 1/5 — Hopeless

*2026-05-15*

App has stopped working. No help response despite asking twice. If I delete and reinstall app all data is lost which is hopeless.  Why no backup?  I’m canceling my subscription.  Don’t waste your money on this.

### 2/5 — Not working on latest version of Apple IOS

*2026-03-08*

Please fix this

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-02-15*

Horrible app, useless! Lost all the data of a year because the app crashed and couldn’t recover the data

### 1/5 — Collect data unnecessarily

*2025-05-31*

Don’t know how the app works but asks to register first (collects email address, phone number and location) and then asks to buy the app to use it. 

Unaware of it being not available without buying - I would never share these details with the app.

### 1/5 — Useless app

*2024-09-29*

Dose not do what it claims to do, does not track unless opened everyday, not possible to edit it tracking mistakes and it dosnt recoganise basic residency rules like the U.K. midnight rule.

### 4/5 — I tried them all, this is the most reliable

*2024-08-31*

I tried every single location logging app in the app store and this is the only one that successfully and tracks my location including transits. Other apps crash and miss days or get stuck in the last location.

There are apps with better, more modern UI’s, part of the new batch aimed at digital nomads, but none of those are there yet in terms of residency tracking and reporting. 

I would give this 5 starts if they would update the UI to make it more modern and readable. Font can be TINY in some critical areas and the design is a little old fashioned. Recommend using an iOS native design style.

### 2/5 — Doesn't record properly

*2023-05-10*

Have used this for 2 years. Constant issues with recording proper location and days in a particular country. Especially problematic when one is restricted to a certain number of days in a country and the app constantly skips or adds or substracts days randomly. I have spoke to the support people many times. They are super nice and responsive and they generally end up correcting the count, but then the app messes up again. So one cannot just rely on it blindly. It is faulty and despite many updates/upgrades, issue still hasn't been fixed.

### 1/5 — Buggy rip off, no customer support

*2023-03-28*

The app experienced an error that made all of my residency data useless. Then automatically charged me for the 120 pound subscription. I have sent multiple messages trying to get support. This app is a SCAM.

**Developer response:** Dear user,

Thank you for your feedback. 

I am absolutely gutted to hear that we were not able to provide an excellent service to you. We always aspire to improve our offer and resolve any issues. 

Please, get in touch with me on maria@worldkite.co.uk and I will make sure you are refunded for the inadequate service. 

I apologise once again on behalf of our team and hope to hear from you soon.

Kind regards,

### 5/5 — Best travel app

*2022-12-04*

Ideal solution for easy tracking if you travel a lot. Makes travelling stress free, giving you a one-stop shop with all the info you need to evidence your travels: purpose, travel docs, etc which you can easily export and share with your tax advisor. No more rubbed off passport stamps to read into! Technology saves the day!

### 5/5 — Great alternative to tedious Excel spreadsheets

*2022-12-02*

The app automises  the hurdle of day count by tracking your location to send you reminders about your stay, budget days for the future or backtrack. And all this information is available to export at any time. Really impressive and simple!
