Cycling through all six. Tap any point to stop.

Measured on six things

Find every country you've been to in your photos and collect a passport stamp for each one.

Security

HTTPS enforced, frame protection, secure cookies, SPF and DMARC in place (7/13 header checks). No HSTS, CSP, Referrer-Policy or Permissions-Policy. On-device-only photo handling is a real privacy win, but no audit or bug bounty is published.

Stampsy App

About this app

It's easy to lose count of the countries you've been to. The trips are there, spread across years of photos, but nobody keeps the list. Stampsy builds it for you. It reads only the place and date of each photo, on your phone, finds every country you've been to and gives you a passport stamp for each one. Photos never leave your phone. You can also add countries by hand. Free: your world map, a passport stamp for every country, your first photo scan with every country it finds, a wishlist of places you want to go, and share cards in every style and color. Stampsy Pro, pay once or yearly: Autopilot (new trips stamp themselves), every scan after your first, states, parks, UNESCO sites and airports, every trip with routes and timelines, regions in every country you visit, countdowns and Home Screen widgets. Free on iPhone and Android.

Scout Review

Written by AI from measured evidence, scored out of 100.

Stampsy is a countries-visited tracker that reads place and date from your camera roll on-device and turns each country into a passport stamp. The pitch is sharp, the visual identity is genuinely distinctive, and the site is fast enough to make most competitors look bloated. The scan-confirmation flow ('Were you here?' with per-country Not me / I was there) is the kind of detail that separates a thoughtful product from a privacy policy nobody reads. Where it falls short is proof and polish: two homepage sections ship blank phone frames, store screenshots contradict each other on the country count, security headers are half-configured with no audit published, and the app is localized in exactly one language with a single App Store rating behind it. The idea is good and the execution is above average for its stage. It just needs the last 10% finished.

Measure by measure

Usability

The scan flow is the star: 'Were you here?' with per-country I was there / Not me makes a privacy-sensitive step explicit and reversible. PRO badges flag paid features early. One language, one App Store rating.

Design

Judging the app UI and store material: the stamp motif is genuinely ownable and carries from homepage to app. Two homepage sections ship empty white phone frames, and store screenshots disagree on the country count.

Speed

Lighthouse mobile 100/100 with LCP 934ms, CLS 0 and TBT 10ms; desktop 98/100. The marketing site is genuinely snappy, and the product itself is native rather than a heavy web wrapper.

Security

Accessibility

Lighthouse accessibility 100/100, with one failing audit on visible text labels lacking matching accessible names. No WCAG statement published and the app is localized in a single language, which caps it below the top of the band.

Growth

Real, specific problem with a demonstrable wedge: automatic on-device photo scanning beats Visited's manual marking, and stamps/share cards give it a social hook. Category has room, but adjacent players loom.

Improvement areas

Two homepage sections ship blank white phone frames instead of screenshots
Security headers incomplete (no HSTS, CSP, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy) and no published audit
Single-language app and a single App Store rating — almost no real-world usability signal

Design & Usability

The design work here is better than most indie travel apps: the perforated stamp, the postmark, the three-letter country codes — it's a coherent identity, not a template with a logo swapped in. The homepage hero ('How many countries have you been to?') plus a tilted phone showing 31 countries explains the product in one glance, and the 'Were you here?' scan screen does more for trust than a paragraph of privacy copy. The cracks are executional: two homepage sections render blank white phone frames where screenshots should be, the store screenshots disagree on the country total, and the app's bottom bar crams seven labelled tabs plus a floating action button into a space that wants four. Usability-wise the core loop is well-signposted — PRO badges appear before the paywall, the scan confirmation is reversible per country, and the free tier is genuinely usable. The gap is evidence: one App Store rating and one language means nobody has actually told us how onboarding feels in the wild.

Speed & Security

Speed is the cleanest win in the profile. Lighthouse mobile scores 100/100 with a 934ms LCP, zero layout shift and 10ms total blocking time; desktop lands at 98. For a marketing site whose job is to push you into an app store, that's exactly right — no heavy SPA, no video hero stalling the fold. Security is more mixed. The probe confirms HTTPS enforcement, frame protection, X-Content-Type-Options, secure cookies, SPF and DMARC across 7 of 13 checks, but HSTS, CSP, Referrer-Policy and Permissions-Policy are all absent. The product's actual security story is stronger than its headers: photos are read on-device, only place and date are extracted, and nothing is uploaded — a claim the site repeats consistently and that the scan-confirmation flow visibly supports. What's missing is third-party proof: no SOC 2, no pen-test summary, no bug bounty, no security page. For a consumer app handling photo metadata that's a reasonable stage-appropriate gap, but it's a gap.

Accessibility & Growth

Accessibility scores 100/100 on the automated Lighthouse audit, which is a real result and not nothing — but one failing audit remains ('elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names'), there's no published WCAG statement, and the app ships in a single language. On device, the seven-tab bottom bar plus FAB is a tap-target concern the automated audit can't see. Growth is the interesting one. The problem is real: people genuinely lose count of countries, and the photos already hold the answer. The wedge against Visited is concrete — Visited makes you mark countries manually, Stampsy reads them off your camera roll on-device and turns each into a perforated stamp you can share. That's a demonstrable differentiator plus a social hook, which is exactly what the 51-65 band describes, and the travel-logging category has visible headroom. What holds it at 63 rather than higher: the moat is thin. Photo geolocation is not hard to copy, the social layer is share cards rather than a network, and adjacent products (Polarsteps, Google Maps timeline) already own pieces of this. Traction is early — domain registered October 2026, one App Store rating, Instagram only — which is context, not a verdict.

Conclusion

If you travel enough to have lost track of your countries — which is the entire premise — Stampsy is worth the download, and the free tier is real: map, stamps, first full scan, wishlist, share cards. The Pro tier (states, parks, UNESCO, airports, regions, widgets, autopilot) is a reasonable pay-once or yearly upsell for people who actually care about the numbers. What would move this from 'good indie app' to 'recommend without caveats': finish the two broken homepage sections, reconcile the store screenshots, add HSTS and a CSP, publish a short security page explaining the on-device model, and ship a second language. None of that is hard. All of it is currently missing.

Suggestions for improvement

Replace the two blank white phone frames on the homepage ('Collections', 'Arctic Circle') with real screenshots — they currently read as broken.
Reconcile the country totals across App Store screenshots (31 vs 32) so the listing looks intentional rather than stitched together.
Add HSTS, a Content-Security-Policy, Referrer-Policy and Permissions-Policy — four headers, maybe an hour of work, closes most of the 6/13 gap.
Publish a short security/privacy page documenting the on-device scanning model and any third-party audit, even a self-assessment.
