Clean, fast, and private GPS tracker. High-resolution OpenStreetMap maps. Export in GPX. Easy on the battery. No registration. Own OpenStreetMap servers are used to guarantee privacy. The usage data is neither collected nor shared.

User Reviews

Users largely praise Private Tracker for its simple, lightweight design, reliable background GPS logging that conserves battery and records routes, times, distances, and allows GPX export for geotagging photos or analysis. The app is frequently cited as stable and long-standing, with a minimal interface and straightforward Start/Stop/Map/Export workflow. Recurrent concerns center on export access, with multiple reviewers upset about mandatory paid exports or paywalls to retrieve data. Another common gripe is trips being automatically halted when the app closes, with requests for a prompt to continue the same trip. Minor map redraw bugs and feature requests also appear.

Pros

Simple, minimalist UI with no bloat; easy to use and focused on core GPS tracking.
Reliable background GPS logging that runs without draining battery.
Accurate route, distance, time tracking and useful data for records; supports exporting GPX for geotagging photos or analysis.
Long-term reliability and cross-device usage; often reinstalled on new phones; stable.
GPX export and compatibility with external apps (e.g., Google Earth) and easy data export.

Cons

Trips are automatically stopped when the app closes, with no seamless option to continue the same trip; users want a prompt to resume.
Data export requires a paid in-app purchase or paywall to access/export data, which is a friction point for many users.

Recent reviews

1) The app needs an ability to continue trips that have been stopped. I want to be able to continue the same trips. There are times when the app closes and then I have to start a new trip because the app automatically stopped the previous trip. I don’t want to start a new trip. Trying to cover streets that I haven’t driven yet. 2) When the app is closed for whatever reason, the trip shouldn’t be automatically stopped by the app. The app should ask the user if they’d like to continue their trip the next time the app is opened. This is a feature that many GPS apps have, including Waze. 3) The user should be able to see themselves on the map of a previous trip. So, when someone is reviewing a previous trip on their trip history, the user should be able to see where they currently are on that exact map. This would make it easier to identify areas that have/haven’t been travelled yet. Please make these changes. Other than those two important issues, the app’s great. Thank you
