Mark O'Travel: Where I've Been 4+

Best App out of the 5 I tried on the AppStore. I like the visual, the setting where you can alter the country colors within a region, and it’s quick and easy to search and select your list quickly.

Only improvement suggestion ... Small island nations say in Caribbean are not on the regional list and you have to individually search for, and even after that, they do not show up as a spec on the map (but they do account in your country count). Please fix this with updates.

Hi Nima,
Thank you for feedback! Can you send me screenshot on email iosradetel@gmail.com?

Good idea, poor execution. The most glaring problem is the “sync” feature, which is not synchronization at all. You must manually go to settings and either choose to upload or download data. Both options replace all data, so if you download, any local changes are lost. If you upload, any changes on other devices or in the cloud that have not been downloaded are lost. Better to have nothing at all, the way it is implemented now is a recipe for data loss.

A massive omission is the inability to add visited places (cities, etc) instead of just regions.

Then there is an array of quirks. The choice of map projection is quite odd (Greenland is NOT larger than South America, it’s only about 1/4 the size of Brazil). Some region maps are oddly selected - too coarse or missing in some, too fine in others (98 in Denmark vs only 22 for France), simply bizarre for others (why use out of date administration boundaries for France, which no one uses, vs historical regions or modern departments, which everyone knows?). User interface is clunky. Region maps can’t be zoomed much, and there is no extra data (roads, cities) on the map to help you figure out which of the bizarre regions you’ve been to.

Thank you for feedback! I'll fix it France in the new version.. Try to use my other app EveryPlace if you want mark cities and more detailed map

The easiest to use of travel tracking apps…I do like it. That said, I’ll be trying some others as well. Was hoping it would be the “Letterbox’d” of travel apps…it isn’t (but it could be with a little more ingenuity!)

-crashes while adding cities, and those cities have to be re-added
-overall crashes a lot in general
-many common airports missing
-no way to see a timeline of journeys, a nice feature on similar apps
-navigation to non-country locations (eg, Sint Maarten) is not intuitive
-would be nice to have a few more categories besides World Heritage sites…E.g., National Parks, State Parks, points of interest, monuments, waterways and bodies of water, stadiums and arenas, Beaches
-mode of travel to locations would be nice
-would be nice to have natural features or phenomens around the world…E.g., Blue Lava Volcano, Padlock Bridge in Budapest, Border of Earth and Heaven in Bolivia, Catatumbo Lightning in Venezuela, Bungle Bungles in Australia…there are so many of these and if they could be selected/listed it would encourage travel enthusiasts

Thank you so much for feedback! Can you send me link of these places on email iosradetel@gmail.com please?
