What Countries Been does well
Countries Been nails the visual wow factor. A rotatable 3D globe with your visited countries highlighted is genuinely fun to show off, and the app stays focused on the core 'where have I been' loop without piling on extra surfaces. For travelers who want a single elegant globe view and a simple scorecard, it is a strong pick.
The team has shipped the modern aesthetic some legacy visited-countries apps are missing, and if all you want is a clean globe plus a country checklist, Countries Been covers the ground.
Where Voyy pulls ahead
Voyy matches the modern visited-countries aesthetic — including an interactive world map — and then adds a full memory journal layer Countries Been does not have. Each trip gets a cover photo, city list, notes, and a Spotify soundtrack you can replay later. Voyy is the only travel tracker on iOS with Spotify integration.
The share layer is a major differentiator. The viral flag calendar turns your year into a grid of country flags made for Instagram Stories, Reels, and TikTok. Faceless sharing lets you post stats without revealing personal details. Countries Been does not currently offer equivalent export formats.
On coverage, Voyy Pro is the only iOS travel tracker with European regional groupings like the Nordics, Balkans, and Mediterranean, plus 400+ subdivisions across 6 countries. If you care about how your map reflects the actual regions you have explored in Europe — not just which country you landed in — Voyy goes several layers deeper.
- Memory journal layer — photos, notes, Spotify soundtracks
- Viral flag calendar export for Instagram and TikTok
- European regional tracker: Nordics, Balkans, Mediterranean
- 400+ subdivisions across 6 countries

- iOS 26 Liquid Glass UI
Who Countries Been is for
Countries Been is the right pick if you want a clean modern visited-countries tracker with a beautiful 3D globe and do not need trip memories, Spotify integration, or detailed European regional coverage. It is the elegant minimalist in the category.
Who Voyy is for
Voyy is the better fit if you want the same modern visited-countries core plus a full memory journal — Spotify soundtracks per trip, the viral flag calendar, detailed European regional tracking, faceless sharing, and advanced travel stats. If Countries Been feels like it stops one layer too early, Voyy is the fuller tool.
Verdict
Countries Been is a beautiful minimal visited-countries tracker. Voyy is the modern iPhone alternative that keeps the same visual polish and adds a memory journal, Spotify soundtracks, the viral flag calendar, European regional depth, and advanced stats.
