Paint the places you've been. Tabi Note turns your travels into a colorful map. Tap a country, state or prefecture, choose how well you know it, and watch your world fill in. FOUR LEVELS, NOT JUST "BEEN THERE" • Transit – changed planes or passed through • Visited – got out and explored • Stayed – spent the night • Lived – called it home Search the map by name to find any town or country in seconds. A LOG FOR EVERY TRIP Add a new record every time you go back: date, notes, up to three photos and what you spent. Save links to hotels and restaurants (Pro). TRAVEL PHOTOS All the photos from your records, gathered into an album by year and month. Tap a photo to jump back to that trip. TRIP ALBUMS AND COSTS (PRO) Turn several days of records into one trip with a cover, a map of the places, day-by-day photos and notes, and a share image. Records on consecutive days are suggested as a trip. See your costs by year, trip and prefecture or country, per currency. NEARBY SPOTS Paint the prefecture or country you're in with one tap, and check off famous places around you, nearest first. Your location is used only on your device. ON THIS DAY "One year ago today, you were in Kyoto." Revisit the places you went on this day in past years, with your photos (optional reminders). THE WHOLE WORLD, ON A GLOBE • 195 countries, plus territories such as Taiwan, Hong Kong, Puerto Rico and Guam • Spin a 3D globe or switch to a flat world map MAP COLORS (PRO) Paint in Sakura, Ocean, Forest, Sunset or Monochrome — on your map, lists, share images and widget. PAINT FROM YOUR PHOTOS Tabi Note finds the countries and Japanese prefectures (and US states with Pro) in your geotagged photos and paints them in one go. Everything happens on your device — your photos and locations never leave it. YOUR YEAR IN TRAVEL See every country, prefecture and spot you visited in a given year on one map, then share it as an image. BADGES AND FRIENDS Earn badges like "10 Countries" and "All Six Continents", and compare counts with your Game Center friends (optional — your map and places are never shared). HOME SCREEN WIDGET Keep your painted map of Japan or the world, with your counts, on your Home Screen. COLLECTIONS Check off themed places and keep a "want to go" list: • World Heritage – all 1,272 UNESCO World Heritage Sites on a world map • World Capitals – the capital city of every country • For Japan travelers: castles, roadside stations (michi-no-eki), hot springs, National Treasure buildings, national parks, gardens, ski resorts, the Shikoku 88 Temples pilgrimage, zoos, aquariums, lighthouses, airports and more Each spot comes with a short summary, address and official website. Some place details are available in Japanese only. USA AND JAPAN IN DETAIL • All 50 US states plus Washington, D.C. (Pro) • Japan's 47 prefectures, and every one of its 1,741 municipalities SHARE YOUR MAP Turn your map or a collection into a passport-style image and share it with friends. NO ACCOUNT, SYNCED WITH iCLOUD Your records stay on your device and in your own iCloud. They sync automatically across your iPhone and iPad and move with you to a new phone. TABI NOTE PRO (MONTHLY OR YEARLY) • Every collection pack • Trip albums and costs • Map colors • The municipality map of Japan • The US states map • No ads (banner or full-screen) • Share images without the logo, in high resolution • Links in your trip records Collection packs can also be bought one at a time.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tabitta at none against Tabi Note's 15. Tabitta also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly). Tabi Note's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
