TRIPORYFrequently asked questions
Everything you may want to know.
QWhat does Tripory do?⌄
It records the countries you visited and the journeys themselves. Rather than only filling in a map, it keeps each trip's dates, photos and notes as one thread you can revisit on a map and a timeline.
QIs it a trip-planning app?⌄
No. It does not manage bookings or itineraries. It is for keeping the trips you took, and the countries you still want to see.
QIs it free?⌄
Yes. Every core feature is free. The free version may show banner ads, and occasionally an interstitial after you first log a new country. A one-time Remove Ads purchase hides them. There is no subscription.
QDo I need an account?⌄
No. There is no sign-up or login, and we never ask for an email address.
QWhat devices are supported?⌄
iPhone on iOS 26 or later. There is no iPad-optimized layout.
QIs there an Android version?⌄
Not currently.
QWhy does it ask for a home country?⌄
It is the baseline for narrowing records to international travel. Your home country counts as visited and is left out of destination suggestions.
QCan I change my home country?⌄
Yes, at any time from Settings. The change history stays available on the trip records page.
QHow many trips can I keep?⌄
There is no limit, and trips can run side by side.
QCan I add trips from the past?⌄
Yes. Choose the dates and record an earlier journey whenever you like.
QCan I edit a trip later?⌄
Yes — title, destination, dates and notes can all be changed afterwards.
QHow many photos can a trip hold?⌄
You can attach photos to a trip record; the app's own screens show how many apply.
QHow accurate are the borders?⌄
They are a simplified representation based on the public-domain Natural Earth dataset and Apple MapKit, and do not represent any political position.
QWhat do the statistics show?⌄
Country counts, how many times you visited each country, and days. There are no city counts or region-share charts. Records are country-level.
QDoes the map need a network?⌄
Yes, for map tiles — the satellite, terrain and road imagery behind your records. That uses Apple's MapKit.
QWhere is my data stored?⌄
Data is stored only in an on-device database. No one, including the operator, can access it.
QHow are photos handled?⌄
The app uses iOS's standard photo picker, so only the photos you choose are passed to the app — it never accesses your full photo library. Chosen photos are resized and compressed on your device to save storage.
QCan I use Tripory offline?⌄
Aside from loading map tiles, core features such as viewing and editing records work offline.
QCan I sync across devices?⌄
There is currently no sync between devices. Each device keeps its own data, so please back up before switching phones.
QCan I export my data?⌄
Not currently — there is no export or import.
QHow do I delete my data?⌄
Use "Delete all data" in Settings at any time. Uninstalling the app also removes the data stored on your device.
QCan lost records be recovered?⌄
No. Because everything lives on your device and there is no export, the operator cannot restore it if you change phones or delete the app.
QAre there ads?⌄
Yes. A Google Mobile Ads banner may appear on tabs other than Me. An interstitial may appear after you first log a new country. The app asks for App Tracking Transparency; declining does not lock features.
QCan I remove ads?⌄
Yes. The one-time Remove Ads purchase in Settings hides banners and interstitials. Restore it on the same Apple Account.
