Are you a hardcore traveler who loves discovering new places? Or do you simply want to know how many countries you have visited?
Then the Skratch app is tailor-made for you! With a practical and fun approach, Skratch allows you to transform your smartphone into a digital travel diary, helping you calculate how many corners of the world you have explored and, why not, see how you stack up against your friends.
How does Skratch work?
The idea behind the app is simple yet brilliant: creating a personalized map of the countries you have visited. Once you have downloaded the app (available for both iOS and Android), you can start tracking your travels in two ways:
- Manually selecting visited countries: Just one tap is all it takes to color in the places you've been on your map.
- Importing geotags from your photos: Skratch can sync with your smartphone gallery to analyze the geolocation information of your photos. In this way, every shot becomes travel documentation and automatically contributes to building your map.
The social side: Compare yourself with friends
In addition to being a personal diary, Skratch has a strong social component. You can connect with friends, share your map, and compare your progress:
- Who has visited the most countries?
- Which destinations do you have in common?
- Who has been to the most exotic locations?
Furthermore, the app includes global rankings that allow you to see how you rank against a community of travelers from all over the world.
Why use Skratch?
- Organize your memories: With Skratch, every trip finds its place. You can add notes, photos, and personal details to every country visited.
- Motivation to discover more: Seeing your map with spaces still "blank" acts as an incentive to plan new adventures.
- Gamify your travels: With the social component, traveling becomes even more fun thanks to healthy competition with friends and acquaintances.
Who can use it?
Skratch is suitable for everyone, from expert globetrotters to those who have just started exploring the world. Whether you have visited 3 countries or 30, the app helps you keep track of your experiences and share them.
How to get started
Downloading Skratch is simple: go to the App Store or Google Play and install the app. Once registered, you can immediately start building your map and, if you wish, import photo geotags with just a few clicks. You don't need to be a tech expert: the interface is intuitive and accessible to everyone.
Skratch: your travel companion
In an era where sharing experiences is an integral part of traveling, Skratch offers an innovative and engaging way to remember and celebrate your journeys. Every trip tells a story, and with Skratch, all these stories find a home on your personal map.
So, if you're ready to find out how much of the world you've explored and challenge your friends, all that's left to do is download the app and start coloring your map. The world is waiting for you!
