What Whereabout does - Automatically detects when you arrive and leave places - Traces your travel routes on a map - Reverse geocodes visits so you see real place names and addresses - Lets you scroll back through months of daily history - Tracks distance traveled and time spent at each location

LocationJournal quietly tracks where you go and how long you stay, so you can actually see how your days add up. AUTOMATIC, IN THE BACKGROUND No check-ins, no manual logging. LocationJournal detects your arrivals and departures automatically using iOS's built-in visit detection, one of the most battery-efficient location modes available. Open the app whenever you want to see the picture that's been building itself. You can name each location.
