Mapstr, save & share places 4+

Perfect for keeping track of your favourite places

Only gripe is inputting new places. Address section only allows a selection instead of typing in an actual address.

A good alternative if you are tired of Swarm, but still not good enough to replace it

The location of the places are in general more accurate than other checkin apps as there is option to add a new place by coordinate, rather than with a physical address. This is useful for any place which contain other places inside (building, shopping mall), to physically pinpoint the place location rather than have single icon on the map pointing to the same address for different places. Lack flexibility to adjust the location after creation of a new place, require email to the Mapstr support team but no feedback is ever received. Over time, the number of errors will accumulate in system as no one cares to correct these errors. This is also annoying as I have seen wrong location of a place on my map even the physical address is correct but I am unable to correct it. The map is useful for being able to see where you have been to. Some people may use it for planning the places they want to visit. There is no linking of the photos you uploaded back to your name or account. Ability to create your own tag is a plus as the categories can be more specific. The app is not able to provide statistic how many times you have visited to a certain place. The first checkin counts as the date at which you have added the place to your map. App layout is simple to use, the map can be accessed very quickly. There are not simply enough icons to cover for all the different types of places. The photos need to be cropped before uploading, this is one of the worse features on this app. The app should also allow the user not to see other user’s photos from your checkin list as some photos are poor quality.

This app is best to use for trip planning, under the current app design it is not meant to be used as a life log. The cropping of photos really take away the fun, many people pride they take good photos with their smart phones and be able to share with others. Not able to make edit to the physical location is also disappointing.

Hello
We’re sorry we missed your emails!
Just long press the place markers to be able to drag and drop them where you want to fix a location. (You need to select that marker before the long press)
As for the pictures you upload, we don’t link back to the source as they’re private and only visible from you and your friends, and not the community.
But you’re right about the cropping we need to remove this.
