This app is a great tool for those moving into or visiting a new area. As you explore and find places you like, you can remember where they are by dropping a pin then add a description and photo. Whether it be a great bar, restaurant or winery, you will always be able to remember what it looked like and get directions back there. Personally, I like updating the notes with names of people and places associated with each location so that when I go back I can address them by name.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Timeline at Free against Where Was That?'s $1.99. Timeline also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 1). Where Was That?'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and review sentiment (100% vs 66%). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Timeline is free to download; Where Was That? costs $1.99 up front. Timeline sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Where Was That? asks for nothing beyond the download.
Timeline holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timeline has 1.2K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Timeline's written reviews are positive against 100% of Where Was That?'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Timeline ships an update monthly, Where Was That? every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
