Location Log

Just an excellent app for travel that does not share your location outside of your device, except stored as part of your iCloud backup. Battery use is minimal on my iPhone 14 Pro Max so I just turn it on when leaving for a trip and turn it off when returning home. Turning it on is on travel checklist along with putting thermostats in away mode so I don’t forget. I have used this logger for several trips now, recently including Copenhagen, Bergen, and then a cruise stopping in Greenland and Iceland and it’s great to be able to retrace my streps after getting home. I am able to overlay the GPX track log over the GPS photo info recorded by my camera in Lightroom and fill the location gaps between the photos. I do have trouble getting the time stamps on the waypoints to match up to the local timestamps in the photos without editing the GPX files to fix up the times. Still trying to figure out the best way to do this as Lightroom does have a track offset function but it doesn’t remember it between sessions and it’s not very useful for trips across multiple time zones with just a single GPX file. I believe that this is really a Lightroom problem, of course, and not a fault of this app. The Lightroom map module has other bugs I’ve reported to no avail so work-arounds are needed. So this is a wonderful app—indispensable for world travelers. Don’t hesitate to get it.

This app logs my location privately. It runs in the background and barely uses any battery. You do not have to have the app running once you enable background logging. Well done!

love this app, thank you. hearkens back to the tightly-focused mobile apps of the early 21st century :) feature request: it would be nice to have support for "approximate" location; visualizing location during a flight almost works, but approx locations aren't recorded in the app, i think

This app does exactly what I want an app like this to do, and the user interface behaves exactly as it should.

This app is easy to set up, simple to learn, works great, and does exactly what I was hoping. It also generates location history reports for any specified date range— just click expert, put in a date range, select GPX file format, and email the report to myself. Then I can open the report in Microsoft Notepad and see all of the date and location coordinates for each day. I have been searching for a free location tracking app that will collect my location data without needing to manually push a button to check-in each time, and be able to generate location reports over a specific date range. This is the only app I found that does all of these things. The app developer also responds to emails with any questions.

This is the third location logger I have tried. Finally, one that easily lets me check “where did I go last Tuesday?” Viewing this as a calendar makes it so simple.

Would love this on an Android. I have to track my location for work and this makes it easier to complete my travel log. My work phone is an Android

Found this app while searching for a effective, non-invasive way to record all the antique stores we've visited here in Maine and all the motorcycle rides Ive taken. Hard to keep track of them all, and this way I hope to make it easier to find new rides and new places!

Saving locations is like archiving emails: I’ll never need 99.9% of them ever again, but that last 0.1 % ends up super useful to have handy. For ages, I’ve been on the lookout for something to keep track of where I’ve been, without storing that data on some server (like Google would.) This app nails it! Private location log, stored on my phone, which can be exported to a standard file format as either JSON or GPX. Plus, the developer answers emails. Great support.

Could you add a feature that shows locations in a chronological fashion? It would make the data easier to read
