Randhawa draws the map of your life, one dot at a time. Carry your phone and the map draws itself. Each time your phone notices you have gone somewhere, Randhawa marks a dot there and draws the line from the last one. Slowly, the ink becomes something no one else could make: your places. Home darkens into a blot. The roads you take every day darken too. Trips trail off the edge like sparks. Open the app and it marks a dot where you are, the way it always has. New in 3.2: the ink. The map is redrawn as blots where you stayed and threads where you moved, all translucent, so repetition is what darkens. Today is drawn on top in orange, the live line over everything before it. Tap a blot and Randhawa tells you what the place is called, how often you were there and what you kept there. Slide the sparkles button and the map fades under the ink until only the constellation is left, on a real projection you can still zoom. Memories: tap the plus button, or open a place, and write down what it deserves to remember, with a photo from your library or straight from the camera. Memories live as gold dots on your map, and one made on this date in an earlier year wears a light around it, right where it happened. And if you also use Bhullar, our time app, the same memories resurface there on the day they become anniversaries. Randhawa gives them a place; Bhullar gives them a time. Add the widget and your map lives on your Home Screen, drawn with the same ink, growing every time a dot lands. Yours, even on your next phone: • Turn on iCloud sync and your moments and memories are kept in your private iCloud, which we cannot read • Get a new phone, sign in, and your map comes back • Export your map as one file whenever you like; it is yours • No account to create. No password. Your Apple Account is the account. Private by architecture, not by promise: • The map draws itself only after you say yes to iOS's own location prompt, and iOS asks again before background access becomes permanent • It listens only for the low-power signals iOS gives a sleeping app when you have actually moved, so it never runs continuously and never keeps your phone awake • Answer While Using only, and Randhawa falls back to a dot each time you open it • Your data lives on your device and, only if you choose, in your own iCloud. We run no servers and can see none of it. • No tracking. No analytics. No ads. • Forget the trail, or erase everything everywhere, any time, with one tap Randhawa cannot be rushed and cannot be faked. It simply gets better the longer you live with it. Carry it wherever you go, and watch your map appear.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: MileagePlus X at 21K against Randhawa's 1. Randhawa's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Randhawa holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MileagePlus X has 21K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
MileagePlus X ships an update monthly, Randhawa weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
