What Pin Traveler does well
Pin Traveler nails the simplest possible version of a visited-countries tracker: drop a pin, tick a country, see a map. For travelers who want a no-frills checklist and a clean shareable map, it does exactly what it promises without overcomplicating things.
If your goal is just to answer 'how many countries have I been to' with a pin-on-a-map visual, Pin Traveler is a perfectly serviceable tool and stays out of your way. It is the minimalist pick in the visited-countries category.
Where Voyy pulls ahead
Voyy keeps the visited-countries map at the center but treats every trip as a memory, not just a pin. 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. Pin Traveler does not offer trip-level pages at all.
The share layer goes further too. The viral flag calendar turns your year into a grid of country flags made for Instagram Stories, Reels, and TikTok, and faceless sharing lets you post your stats without revealing personal details. Pin Traveler does not offer comparable export formats.
On the tracker side, Voyy Pro is the only iOS travel app with full European regional coverage — Nordics, Balkans, Mediterranean — plus 400+ subdivisions across 6 countries. Pin Traveler treats the world at the country level; Voyy lets you go 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
- Faceless sharing for privacy-conscious travelers
- iOS 26 Liquid Glass UI and home screen widgets
- Free city tracking in the free tier
Who Pin Traveler is for
Pin Traveler is the right pick if you want the simplest possible visited-countries pin map, do not care about trip memories or share formats, and just need a clean scorecard of where you have been.
Who Voyy is for
Voyy is the better fit if you want your travel tracker to double as a memory journal — with photos, notes, Spotify soundtracks, the flag calendar, and the most granular European regional tracking available on iOS. If a plain pin map feels thin, Voyy is built for you.
Verdict
For a pure pin-on-a-map visited countries tracker, Pin Traveler is fine. For an iPhone travel tracker that turns every trip into a memory — with Spotify, the flag calendar, European regional depth, and a modern iOS 26 UI — Voyy is the modern alternative.
Frequently asked questions
Is Voyy a Pin Traveler alternative?
Yes. Voyy and Pin Traveler both track visited countries on a world map, but Voyy adds a memory-journal layer Pin Traveler does not have: trip pages with photos, notes, Spotify soundtracks, the viral flag calendar export, and granular European regional coverage.
Is Voyy free like Pin Traveler?
Voyy is free to download and includes country tracking, city tracking, trip pages with photos and notes, the flag calendar, and home screen widgets. Voyy Pro is an auto-renewable subscription that unlocks European regions, US states, 400+ subdivisions, advanced travel stats, unlimited trip photos, watermark-free sharing, and cloud sync.
Does Voyy require GPS?
No. Voyy is manual-entry by design — you add countries, cities, and trips yourself. That means no background battery drain, no location history required, and the ability to backfill past trips from before you had the app.
Can I track cities and European regions in Voyy?
Yes. City tracking is included in the free tier. European regional tracking (Nordics, Balkans, Mediterranean) and 400+ subdivisions across 6 countries are part of Voyy Pro — the most granular regional coverage on iOS.
What is the flag calendar?
The flag calendar is a Voyy-exclusive export format: your year rendered as a grid of country flags, showing which country you were in every month. It is the viral share format taking over travel Instagram and TikTok. Light and dark mode, watermark removed on Pro.
Is Voyy on Android?
No. Voyy is iPhone only and distributed exclusively on the iOS App Store. There is no Android or web version.
