JustPlaces marks the places worth coming back to, and shows the way to your car. Good ground lasts for years — the same spruce stand, the same ditch along the firebreak. The hard part is holding them all in your head until next season. MARK A SPOT Found something worth remembering? Drop a point and know it will still be there later — with a name, a note about the place ("dark spruce stand, fruits in autumn") and the species you found. Years on, that note is what tells you whether the drive is worth it. RECORD THE WALK, KEEP THE WAY HOME Start recording when you leave the car. The app draws your path and keeps a straight green line to the car with the distance to it — the way back is always clear. PLACES, NOT ANONYMOUS PINS Points carry species: thirty common ones with drawn icons — boletes, chanterelles, milkcaps, brittlegills, honey fungus and more. Your own species with a photo takes a minute to add. Filter the map down to a single species, or lay past tracks over it to see where you walked last time. BUILT FOR THE FOREST Works fully offline — no signal needed once the map area is loaded. Recording survives a locked screen, a phone in a pocket, and even an app crash: an interrupted walk resumes by itself. YOURS ALONE No accounts. No cloud sync. No ads, no analytics, no third-party SDKs. Your spots are the one thing this app promises to keep secret, so they stay in your phone's memory and nowhere else. Save a copy of the whole collection to a file whenever you like — and keep it wherever you trust. SHARE A PLACE, DELIBERATELY Send one spot to someone you trust with a link. They open it in the app, or on a page if they don't have it yet. The coordinates travel in the part of the link that is never sent to any server — not even ours. JUSTPLACES PRO A one-time purchase, no subscription. Pro gives you: • unlimited points (the first 30 are free) • GPX export — points and tracks as a file every navigator reads Free forever: recording walks, the way back to the car, the species catalogue, your first 30 spots, and a copy of your collection.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: jintech at none against JustPlaces's 1. jintech also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
