Ghoomy

Ghoomy turns your boarding passes into a map of where you have been. Scan a pass and the flight appears as an arc on a globe you can spin. Scan the next one, and the one after that, and the shape of your travelling starts to show — the routes you repeat, the oceans you have crossed, the places you keep meaning to go back to. HOW IT WORKS Scan the barcode. Most printed boarding passes carry a PDF417 barcode with the flight details inside it. Ghoomy reads it on your phone, and nothing is transmitted. No barcode yet? Pick a photo or screenshot of the pass, and Ghoomy reads it for you. Booking confirmations and emailed itineraries work too — useful before check-in, when no barcode has been issued. Or type it in. Flight number, airports, date. It takes half a minute. WHERE YOUR FLIGHTS LIVE In your own iCloud, in a private database only you can reach. Not on our servers. Sign in with Apple and your log follows you between your devices. WHAT YOU GET A globe you can turn, with every route you have flown drawn across it Every boarding pass kept — times, dates, terminal and gate A running count of the airports and countries you have passed through Light and dark, both properly designed Works offline: the airport data is in the app, not behind an API No ads. No analytics. No tracking of any kind.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ghoomy at none against FlightInk's 2. Ghoomy also leads on ads (none vs shown). FlightInk's advantage is iOS requirement (18.6 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
