tratri is a travel journal app that automatically reads the location data from your photos and maps out the footsteps of your journey. Just pick your photos and your travel route is drawn on the map—ready to share on social media as a collage or a video. Already a favorite among travelers across Japan, tratri turns every trip into a record worth revisiting. ■ Auto-Record Your Trips from Photos Just select the photos you took, and tratri pulls the location and timestamp straight from each photo's EXIF data—no manual entry needed. Your route is drawn on the map automatically. You can also tap the map to add spots that have no photo, and log a memo and a transport mode (walking, train, car, bus, plane and more) for each one. ■ Visualize Your Travels on Japan & World Maps Supports both a Japan map (all 47 prefectures) and a World map. See everywhere you've been at a glance and look back on the big picture of your travels. Map features are available even on the Free plan—just watch a short ad to unlock them. ■ Collect All 47 Prefecture Badges Earn a badge every time you visit one of Japan's 47 prefectures. Conquer entire regions—Tohoku, Kanto, Tokai, Kansai, Kyushu and more—to unlock special Master Badges. Bronze to Platinum badges based on your total visits keep your wanderlust going. ■ Create Share-Ready Collages Turn your travel photos into stylish collages built for social media. Choose from multiple layouts like Magazine and Polaroid, and seasonal backgrounds such as cherry blossoms and the sea. The Standard plan and above unlock unlimited, watermark-free collages. ■ Auto-Generate Vertical Route Videos With one tap, create a 9:16 vertical video in which your route glides smoothly across a 3D map, with your photos popping up at each place you visited. The result is a polished clip ready to post straight to Instagram Reels and TikTok. ■ AI Recommends Your Next Destination From the prefectures you haven't reached yet, tratri's AI suggests the perfect next trip for you—complete with sightseeing spots, local food, and the best season to go. ■ Plans Free: Save up to 15 photos. Unlock map features by watching an ad. Basic (¥480/month or ¥4,800/year): 1,000 photos and map unlocked. Standard (¥980/month or ¥9,800/year): 3,000 photos, unlimited collages, and vertical videos. Premium (¥1,480/month or ¥14,800/year): 5,000 photos, every feature, and no watermark. Yearly plans cost the equivalent of 10 months—two months free. (Prices shown in JPY; actual pricing varies by region.) ■ Available in Multiple Languages Available in 10 languages including Japanese, English, French, German, and Spanish—so it stays comfortable to use even at your destination abroad. Just choose and save your photos, and the footsteps of your journey stay on the map. Make every trip more special with tratri. ■ Terms of Use & Privacy Policy Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://tratri-site.web.app/privacy
