## Who should use which

Choose Traveler if you want a private, permanent history of the trips behind your country map. It also fits if you want return visits kept separately, flights and photos attached to the right journey, or past trips imported from Photos, Calendar, and Google Maps.

Choose Been if you want to mark countries and places as visited without keeping a full record of every trip. It also fits if you want continent totals, map progress, and a shareable visited-country map.
