1. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   This app is unusable on iOS 17. This app is unusable on iOS 17 unless you update your device, but I don’t want to update iOS. At the same time, I can’t update the app without doing so, and without the update the app simply does not work. Very disappointing and frustrating.

2. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Wrong borders and regions. You have to check the maps and make sure they are correct

3. ★★★★★data, history or progress disappears

   Data Disappeared. I've been using Skratch for years, and I just logged in to check my Want-to-Visit list, and a ton of my data is gone. All of my "Trips" are gone. All "Attractions" that I marked (either as Visited or as Want) are gone. Many of the countries I've marked as "Want to Visit" have been unmarked (and some countries that I unmarked are back to being on my "Want to Visit" list). I don't know what happened, but I'm very upset and disappointed.

4. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Not as Advertised. I can not figure out how to add multiple countries to a single trip.

5. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Eh?. I like the idea behind this…but I’ve found it confusing, if not impossible, to use all the features. I paid the fee to unlock everything but I can’t get it to work. I might change this rating if I get this straightened out.

6. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Only allowed to mark a certain number of places for free?. Ridiculous, I’m not paying you to let me mark places on a map. I hadn’t even finished logging the places I’ve already been to before it cut me off. Guess I can’t travel world now

7. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Too many things to go through. Didn’t like this app! The app makes it hard to pick and tap everything. The process can be a lot more simple but it seems like they tried to make it hard as possible to work the app.

8. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Can’t sign up. App doesn’t send the sign up link to email. Tried two different addresses and nothing.

9. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   App keeps crashing. Every time I open this app it crashes without even loading for a few seconds. It used to work but I guess they no longer care to fix bugs

10. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Locking features after paying. Paid 6 dollars originally for the app. They now want 9 dollars to access the regions function which they recently pay walled.

11. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    You have to pay….. You have to pay to use the only feature that allows you to mark and track where you’ve been….

12. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Horrible. When I first made an account, it worked but when I exited put of the app, it signed me out. Then, when I tried to log in, it told me there was no account. I will never use this app again. I would rate it a 0 star if I could.

13. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Violating UN rights!. This app shows "Abkhazia" and "South Osetia" as the independent countries, which is violating of right of sovereign republic of Georgia - these territories of Georgia are recognized only by occupier: Russian federation.

14. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Looks cool but sign up doesnt work. Doesnt work

15. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    App freezes when creating account. App freezes when trying to create a new account. Top right shows loading icon forever

16. ★★★★★slow performance and long loading times

    Activation issue. The app is extremely slow and hung during setup. From that point on, the activation flow fails despite following the latest activation emails (link or code), it simply stuck in an endless loop and wouldn’t activate but kept sending me activation emails. Very frustrating experience. Bottom line, I loss all confidence of the app and its ability to handle my personal data.

17. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Prorussian! 🤬. This app promotes Russian state propaganda about Russian occupied territories! It's not an accidental bug, I contacted them and they refuse to update maps to reflect international borders. Abkhazia and Samachablo is Georgia!

18. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Doesn’t work. This app doesn’t work at all. Literally couldn’t get past verifying my email.

19. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Not worth it. Would only down load memories if I took it with my new phone and would not let me up loud any other photos

20. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Uslesss. An app that asks you to give up your email to use the app, is a useless app. That’s my personal opinion, it’s an app to scratch off countries you visited. So why the email ? And why an email verification method? Just so i get my email rained with spam emails and marketing from other companies and the list goes on. That’s my review.

21. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Ipad Version ??. Why no IPad version ?? Nearly everyone who has an IPad travels with it. You could make so much more use of the large screen . Will it still come ????

22. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Data mining.. If you can’t use the app without providing email or phone then all they want is your information. Immediate delete.

23. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Is this for Non travelers??. I just downloaded the app and paid for all access … honestly just a waste of money. They have VERY limited cities you can pin. You can see them on the map but if it’s not on the apps “list of cities” there is no way to pin. Shouldn’t there be a way to add a city ?? Or if it’s on the actual map… it should be available to pin.

24. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Can’t actually login. Had made my map and registered but when I go to come back and add more I hit log in and it never works. So basically it’s pointless

25. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Too pricey. Cost too much to get the features

26. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Stay away!. This app is not only incredibly buggy, but also selling our personal data to 3rd party companies. Deleted the app immediately after detecting the data breach.

27. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    No states unless you pay $6.99. Downloaded because others said it supported states. Apparently a new upgrade to the app makes it so you now have to pay for these. It’s not clear when you try to add them either it just keeps going back to another screen and ask you for power ups.

28. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    stupid app. you have to pay if you go somewhere unless you check the app while you’re there. stupid. don’t download.

29. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Abkhazia and south Ossetia is Georgia. I’m from Georgia Tbilisi and your map is wrong. 20% of our country is occupied by Russia !!! Abkhazia and south Ossetia is Georgia!!!

30. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Abkhazia is georgia. Your maps is wrong, abkhazia is georgia hole world know
