4/5Best Gamify Your Life Map App
This is the best map app for sure, other ones are bulky and lack features. Mapcred is clean and has great game center integration. The only problem I have is importing workouts takes forever. I am currently doing it 5 workouts at a time, out of 275 workouts, because it doesn’t crash that way.

5/5The best map app :)
I love that it doesn’t just show you where you’ve been, but how often (the heat map feature), making it more fun to go places repeatedly. App seems to be more stable and modern than any of the others I’ve tried. Speaking of which, I have tried a couple of the others (Strut and Fog of World) and hated that Strut locked me in so I couldn’t export my data, and Fog of World didn’t have leaderboards or any social features and was super expensive. MapCred addresses the shortcomings of both of those (super smart to use GameCenter to share with your friends!), and it is just great overall!

5/5Fun location app
I really enjoyed seeing the heat maps of where I’ve been. And it’s fun to compete to be the king of a particular location (although I’m only the king of my living room for the time being) Overall, it’s a great app that does exactly what it promises. You compete to see the world.

2/5Promising, lacks functionality
I really wanted to like this app, unfortunately it takes too long when you open the app to process your travels. If you leave the app closed for longer than a day, you’ll be waiting minutes to hours for it to process, and only while you leave the app open on screen. You cannot do anything else while it processes or it will never process.

5/5Best Map app !!
This is hands down the best map app I’ve used. It tracks your progress great and is much cheaper than the main competitor. It also allows you to zoom in and out, which the competitor does not allow.

Import flow reliability is also improved with safer CSV cleanup and better handling for iCloud Fog of World downloads. Under the hood, location prediction in the Kalman filter is smarter, heat map rendering is now deterministic, and new tests were added to cover queue persistence and motion filtering edge cases.
