Worldly is the travel tracker for people who want to know exactly how much of the world they've explored. Log every country, state, and city you've been to, then watch your globe fill in. MAP YOUR WORLD Visualize your travels on an interactive 3D globe or a flat map. Every style renders as both — Atlas is free, and six premium styles (Topographic, Blueprint, Continental, Night Lights, Antique Parchment, and Mosaic) add twelve more views with Pro. SEE THE NUMBERS Track your progress through the world's 195 countries and 7 continents, plus thousands of states, provinces, and cities. Coverage percentages climb with every place you add, and Pro puts them on your home screen in a small, medium, or large widget. KEEP YOUR TRAVEL LOG Every place you've visited lives in your travel log — searchable, filterable, and yours. Add the date. Add notes. Add up to 20 photos to any trip, including ones you logged years ago. Then share any memory as a boarding-pass style ticket. CELEBRATE THE TRIPS Turn on anniversary reminders and Worldly gives you one quiet note on the day, a year on from a trip you logged — for trips already in your log, however long ago you took them. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No sign-in. No cloud sync. Your travel log, your notes, and your photos are stored on your device and are never uploaded. Worldly never asks for your location — you tell it where you've been. PERFECT FOR - Travelers building a visual record of where they've been - Road trippers tracking states, provinces, and cities - Explorers who want to know their exact world coverage - Anyone who wants a private, offline travel journal FREE TO USE, PRO WHEN YOU WANT IT Worldly is free to use.

Start with a free trial, then $39.99/year or $9.99/month. Anything you've already logged stays visible whether or not you subscribe.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Map Diary at 5.0 against Worldly's 4.3. Map Diary also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%). Worldly's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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. Worldly sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Map Diary sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Map Diary holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Worldly has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 67% of Worldly's written reviews are positive against 100% of Map Diary's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
