Terragrid – Explore the Real World Turn the real world green, one place at a time. Terragrid turns your everyday movement into a game of discovery. The map starts fully red. Every place you physically visit unlocks its cell and turns it green. Walk a new street, travel to a new city, or fly to a new country, and watch your personal map of the planet fill in over time. It all happens automatically. Terragrid quietly detects the places you visit in the background, so you can simply live your life and come back to see how much of the world you have explored. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT • A living map of your life. Watch red turn to green everywhere you go. • Automatic discovery. New cells unlock in the background as you move—no check-ins required. • Real progress. Every street, city, and country you visit is tracked from real location data, never faked. • A pixel world map. See the share of the entire planet you have explored at a glance. • Daily activity. Review your steps, new cells, and the path you walked each day. • Achievements. Earn badges as you go, from your very first cell to true globetrotter. • Beautiful and private. A clean, colorful design with all of your exploration data stored on your device. HOW IT WORKS 1. Allow location access so Terragrid can see where you go. 2. Head outside and explore as you normally would. 3. Open the app to watch new cells turn green and your stats grow. TERRAGRID PLUS Upgrade to Terragrid Plus to get the most out of your exploration: • Unlimited exploration with no daily cap on new cells. • Worldwide statistics and advanced insights. • Shareable maps to show friends how far you have explored. • Premium map themes. Terragrid Plus is available as an auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage and cancel your subscription in your App Store account settings after purchase. YOUR PRIVACY MATTERS Terragrid is built to respect your privacy. Your visited map and location history are stored on your device. We do not sell your data. Location is used only to power the core feature of unlocking the places you visit, including in the background so discoveries are not missed while the app is closed. Start exploring today and see how much of the world you can turn green.

Vrolu is a serious flight tracker for iPhone. Add a flight and watch the real aircraft move on a live map, see the plane that's coming to fly you, and read why it's late in plain English — before the gate agent says a word. When you're traveling with people, bring them along: everyone's flight, one board, one shared link. A SERIOUS FLIGHT TRACKER • A live map with the real aircraft on the path it has actually flown, from pushback to the runway it lands on • Where's my plane: the aircraft coming to fly you — every leg of its day, where it is now, and when it lands • Delay intel in plain English: your plane, the airport in the FAA's own words, or a ground stop at the other end — and how much of it your schedule can absorb • Gates, terminals, baggage claim, and automatic updates from gate change to wheels down • Add a flight with just the airline and number; codeshares show who you booked and who's actually flying • Alternate flights: the remaining nonstops on your route, ranked by departure — one tap swaps one onto your trip • Live Lock Screen and Dynamic Island tracking, with a countdown that takes over in the last 45 minutes before departure BUILT FOR GROUPS, TOO • One trip, everyone on it — the whole group's flights at a glance • The arrivals & departures board shows who lands today, live • One-tap check-ins: tell your people you made it the moment you land • Share a private live link anyone can follow — no app or account needed • Itinerary, events, and stay details in one place NO FRONT DOOR Open Vrolu and you're in.
