WhereOrWhen
Read full descriptionHide full description
When was I at this location? Where was I on these dates? Based on your photos, this app gives the answers. They are shown in: * a list, * a page of photos, * a slideshow and * on a map with lines between locations. If you have a lot of photos in your iPhone (or iPad) the answers will be very detailed. One feature that could be very useful for us travellers: It can generate a trip map for all past trips if you took photos with an iPhone. Two of the screenshots show off this feature. The second map has the lines connecting locations hidden, if the distance between photos taken exceeds 1000 kilometres. This simplifies the map by eliminating flights. To get started just tap on one of the app selection boxes to choose either when or where.

Track My Trip records your journeys as you make them — a road trip, a hike, a holiday, or just a good day out. Start a trip, put your phone away, and it quietly follows your route, marking each place you pass. Add photos and notes along the way, and every trip becomes a map you can revisit: where you went, when you were there, and what it looked like. RECORD WITHOUT THINKING ABOUT IT • Tags drop automatically as you travel — you choose how far apart, from a few hundred metres on a walk to many kilometres on a drive, and you can change it mid-trip with a tap. • Tap "Tag now" to mark a spot the moment you're standing in it. • Recording continues with the screen off and the app in the background. • Pause and resume whenever you like. Close the trip when you're done. EVERY TAG TELLS A STORY • Tags are named automatically from the street and suburb, with nearby places of interest added to the note — or name them yourself. • Attach photos from your library or take them in the app; the photo you choose becomes the tag's pin on the map. • See your whole route at a glance, tap any pin for the details, or long-press for a quick peek. ORGANISED YOUR WAY • Sort trips by date, name, group or number of tags, and search names and notes. • Colour-coded groups you can rename to suit — Work, Holidays, Walks, whatever fits your life. • Metric or imperial units, 12 or 24-hour time, light or dark appearance. SHARE COMPLETE TRIPS • Export any trip as a single file — route, notes and photos together — and share it by AirDrop, Messages, Mail or Files. • Choose the photo quality for exports, from compact to full resolution. YOURS, PRIVATELY • No account, no sign-up, no server. Your trips and photos stay on your device. • Location is used only while recording a trip, and everything works offline — names for tags are simply filled in later if you're out of range. TRY IT FREE Track My Trip Lite is the full recording experience for up to 5 trips. It includes a sample trip so you can explore the map, tags and photos before recording your own, plus built-in help that works anywhere — even with no signal. When you're ready for unlimited trips and importing, Track My Trip (the full version) is one tap away. Start a trip. The map remembers the rest.
