I lile this app, although haven't used it much. It's a bit like Letterboxd for trips. One thing I'd really like is the option to add countries visited in the past without all the faffy details and dates... Like I know I went to Scotland, Florida, Majorca as a kid, etc, and various countries on different cruises, so I want to 'tick' that I've been to those countries, but I have no idea when it was! Just let me add that I've visited a country, without adding loads of trip details.

Works well enough-ish I guess, until you either do not exactly go to where you had been planning on going to or -god forbid- you actually want to correct a location. 9 out of 10 times the application instead dumps your step on top of the previous one I stead after saving. This goes wrong repeatedly and makes correcting locations (which I have to do about 50% of the time even with location services always on and battery optimization disabled for the app) extremely infuriating. No support either.

I really like this app. My main issue is inputting past trips which is cumbersome and often doesn't get recorded properly as you can't select if a journey was taken by plane or road. Also to link everything up correctly means sometimes creating empty steps with no photos which show up as an unsightly red dot on the map. It would also be nice if the steps didn't group together after you reach 100 steps total. Maybe you could have a toggle to show them all at once or group them together?
