Never lose a place – always know where to go. Mapstr allows you to save every spot you love anywhere in the world and shows trusted recommendations from friends, pros and influencers, right when you need them. —— A STORY YOU KNOW —— You spot an incredible bakery, hear rave reviews about a hidden jazz bar, promise you’ll remember… and two weeks later it’s gone. Screenshots multiply, notes pile up, Google stars blur together, anonymous reviews feel useless. Mapstr ends the chaos: one tap to save, tag, colour-code and—when friends ask—share a link they can open in any browser, no app required. —— SAVE, ORGANISE, (RE)DISCOVER —— * One-tap pins for cafés, shops, hikes—whatever catches your eye * Unlimited colours & tags to surface “Sushi”, “Sunset spot”, “For a date”, etc. in seconds * Import Google Maps, CSV or KML lists - if you don’t want to start from zero * Personal notes, ratings and photos; mark places “To try” or “Tried” to track memories * Follow the voices you trust: friends, favourite chefs, magazines, local creators * Merge their maps with yours to uncover hidden gems in 190 + countries * Share your map with a simple link, viewable in any browser, no app needed * Full control: flip your entire map to private, or hide individual pins on your public map * Private by default: your notes, ratings and pictures are only visible to your followers * Custom places you create (like this cute secret beach) stay only on your map and never enter mapstr’s global database * 100 % EU servers, GDPR-first, zero ad-tracking —— MAPSTR PLUS — 7-DAY FREE TRIAL, CANCEL ANYTIME —— Unlock extra power for map addicts and frequent travellers: * Unlimited places * Bulk edits for lightning-fast management * Smart Search: AI suggestions by mood, budget or diet to find any spot you want in the world * Real-time table filter: see restaurants with free tables for your date, time and party size, then book in two taps * Visits journal to relive every trip or every meal * Proximity alerts so you never walk past a saved gem again * Multi-map overlay for instant recs from the maps you follow * AI matching algorithm to get 100% personalized recommendations tailored on your tastes * Desktop web version for big-screen planning * Invitations to soft openings and special events (Paris-only for now) —— WHY MAPSTR? —— * Memory saver: pins replace screenshots and scattered notes forever * Personal compass: maps mirror your unique taste, not algorithmic hype * Trusted network: no anonymous reviews—only voices you choose * Fair freemium: core features stay free; go even further with personalized recommendations and map management with mapstr plus * Built in Europe: GDPR compliant, EU servers, no ads, no data sales —— PRIVACY & SUPPORT —— We never sell your data.

I absolutely love mapstr whenever I have a day off I love to go explore news places right in my own backyard! Or if I am coincidentally in the area of a place I’ve marked I always try to make a stop, thanks to alerts that you can set. I could rave Al day about the customization of this app truly but, I did come here to say 2 things, one, that I wish there was a function where you could pin something and it would recommend you others like it or things others near that location have pinned! I think it would be a great addition because sometimes place really are hidden. Two maybe having a toggle function where you could see reviews for the place you’ve pinned if you wanted. I love having my own personal map but sometimes for places I haven’t been a review would be helpful. I understand that’s what the internet is for but having it streamlined into one place is just a little more convenient. I love this app with all my heart and regardless of what I think I will continue to use it forever :)

If you don't live under a rock, this app is for YOU

What a great little app! I found out about the app in a column on the Air France magazine last year and I can't believe how handy it's been since. I travel a good amount and I love tagging great restaurants in every city that I go to, and the ability to share makes it even more handy. Having the option to tag different categories (restaurants, discotheques, stores, etc) also makes it easy to look for all your saved places at a glance, and the list option sorts places based on distance, so if you save recommendations from friends you can find out how close you are to all of them and make a decision based on that. Legitimately very happy, and I wish the developer a lot of success!

New 80$ Pay-Wall
I really enjoyed this app when I first got it for saving and labeling different places I’d love to visit… until today. I open the app, and am greeted by some ridiculous video of some guy letting users know how excited they are about introducing a new paid membership for “additional perks”. The perks of course being simply USING the app as it was originally intended. I am now unable to add any more locations to my map without paying 80 DOLLARS a year for mapstr plus. How stupid. Now that Google Maps has updated their saved locations feature and labeling options, I’ll have to transition back. It’s very disheartening that the creators of this app seriously think their product is worth 80$ a year when they haven’t even added anything substantial in the past year or so that I’ve had it. If you want to save more than 300 locations on your map (trust me, it adds up very quickly), then don’t waste your time downloading this app unless you’re willing to pay 80$ a year for it. I plan on doing some hunting to see if I can find a similar app that hasn’t completely sold out like this app unfortunately has.

Subscription pricing is not worth it

I had been using this app for years, recommending it to friends, and generally loved the features. The one functionality complaint I initially had was that it doesn’t show a dot or even general area of where you are so it is harder to see proximity to your pins. But I understand it’s not a maps app so fair. Now, with being charged a subscription to add pins over 300, I will switch back to Google Maps and saving pins in my lists there. I understand that this is a product and needs to be profitable, but a subscription model is so disappointing. If there was a one time payment, I would do that in a heartbeat and I would be willing to pay a decent amount if it was a one-time fee. But with subscriptions these days, there is no guarantee that the model won’t change or prices will be hiked in the future. So while I can easily afford the current pricing, I don’t want to risk losing my pins when the payment models change and I can no longer justify a monthly/yearly charge for an app when there are free alternatives available. TLDR: I’d be willing to pay for this app, but not in its current subscription form.

HelloI hear you. We’re working on something.But the blue dot to show your position has always been there, just activate the gps or tap the bottom right button of the map to center the map on that blue dot :)
