TrackMyTour lets you track, share, and relive your travel adventures. **HOW IT WORKS** TrackMyTour is a simple travel blogging app. Each blog entry (or "waypoint") consists of a date, time, and location. Waypoints can also include text and photos. The app creates an interactive map of your waypoints, which you can share with your family and friends. They can follow along with the app or with a web browser on any device. **SHARE WITH FAMILY & FRIENDS** Each map has a secret link, which you can share with your family and friends. They can visit the link at anytime to see your updates and a map of your journey. The can also register and follow with the app, leave comments, react to your waypoints, and receive notifications when you post an update. Visit https://trackmytour.com/explore/ to see examples of some presently ongoing tours. **FREEMIUM & PLUS VERSIONS** The Freemium version of TrackMyTour provides everything you need to track your tour. For many it might be enough. TrackMyTour Plus is a subscription-based upgrade for users who like the app and want a little more. It unlocks some additional features not found in the Freemium version. **CREATE A BOOK** After your journey you can create and order a photo book consisting of your locations, photos, and captions (needs a laptop or desktop computer). TrackMyTour Books does the heavy lifting of laying out the content, and gives you the tools to fine tune the book to your liking. **FEATURES** TrackMyTour does not continuously track your location. Updates are made when you choose to record them. Waypoints can also be saved offline when a network connection is not available, and submitted later when you're back online (e.g., hotel WiFi). Give it a try and happy touring! End-User License Agreement: https://trackmytour.com/eula Terms & Conditions: https://trackmytour.com/terms Data privacy notice: https://trackmytour.com/privacy

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: TrackMyTour at 4.6 against RecordMyTrip's 1.0. TrackMyTour also leads on ratings volume (246 vs 1). RecordMyTrip's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and review sentiment (100% vs 91%). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. TrackMyTour sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per year. RecordMyTrip asks for nothing beyond the download.
TrackMyTour holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TrackMyTour has 246 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of TrackMyTour's written reviews are positive against 100% of RecordMyTrip's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
TrackMyTour ships an update every 2 months, RecordMyTrip every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
