Changelog and roadmap
What we have built, in order, and what is on the way. Plans can change, so nothing on the roadmap is a promise.
Updated 10 November 2026
Now is built and waiting to ship. Next and Later are plans, in no promised order and with no promised dates.
Built and waiting for the next release of the app.

Things we would like to do.
When you share explo.world/@yourname, the preview card shows your map.
Plan, not a promise
Newest first. Each entry says where it stands: Live on explo.world today, or finished and in the next release of the app.
Add a trip in a few steps: where, when and for how long, coming up or already taken. Each country gets a prep card with the entry rule for your passport, the best months, plug type, currency and public holidays on your dates. Turn on Travel reminders and Explo nudges you a week before you go.
Country pages and trips show the UK Foreign Office’s travel advice, from no warnings to avoid all travel. Turn on alerts to get a notification when the warning is raised for a country on your list or in a trip, or when entry requirements change for a trip. The advice is written for British travellers, and the checks run on your phone, usually about once a day.
Mark US states, Canadian provinces, Czech regions, Japanese prefectures and more, in 25 countries. Marking a region also marks its country as visited.
Publish explo.world/@yourname as a link for your social profile. It is off until you press Publish, shows the countries you have visited, and shows your want-to-go list and past trips only if you switch them on. The page itself is already live on explo.world.
Write down the best meal or the month to go. Notes are private and sync with your account.
Two new pictures to share: how your country count compares with other Explo users, and club cards at 10, 25, 50, 75, 100, 150 and 197 countries. Rank appears once you are ahead of at least half of Explo users.
Explo follows your iPhone’s language. Pick any of the 11 languages in your account to switch.
Choose Night, Cobalt or Ocean from Map settings, and cream or lime for the countries you have visited. The map itself is cleaner too: flat colours and no glow.
Colour in the countries you have been to or want to visit, right in the browser with no app needed, then make a picture or copy a link.
Answers to the common questions, and this page: what is built, what is on its way and when.
See how many countries you have visited without opening the app. Small and medium widgets show your map, and Lock Screen widgets show the count.
Explo reads where your photos were taken, on your phone, and lights up those countries with the year you first went. You choose what goes on your map. Nothing is uploaded and no photo is copied.
Optional. When you land in a new country, Explo tells you the entry rule for your passport, the currency and the plug type. The country is worked out on your phone, and your location never leaves it.
Optional. A reminder when a place on your want-to-go list is at its best, and your map to share at the end of the year. Everything is planned on your phone.
Send a link and your friend sees your countries, laid over their own map in the app. The link carries your list of visited countries, and nothing is stored on a server.
Post straight to Instagram Stories, send it in Messages or save it to Photos. Pictures carry a small QR code to explo.world, and a new Year picture recaps your 2026.
The country guide shows each plug type, A to O, as a small drawing so you can see what to pack.
Answers on backup, arrival notifications, entry rules and deleting your account, with a contact address.
Your passport opens on a cover with your map and stats, followed by your Visited, Want to go and Not yet countries.
Make a picture of your map, sized for Stories, with your countries, percentage and flags.
A short walkthrough shows how to mark a country and watch the map light up. Replay it any time from your account.
Practical guides on entry rules, passports, the best time to go and planning a trip. There are 15 so far.
English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Czech.
Mark the countries you have been to and the ones you want to visit on a world map, and see how many of the 197 countries you have covered.
Tap a country for its best months, weather, entry rule for your passport, currency, plug type, public holidays and what to see.
Search countries and cities, see where is at its best this month, keep a wishlist, or tap Surprise me.
See whether a country is visa-free, visa on arrival, eTA, e-Visa or visa required, and how many countries your passport opens up.
Sign in with Apple or Google to back up your map and move it to a new phone. Without an account, everything stays on your phone.
