Oritabi: Japan Station Log

Log every station you get off at, with a photo, a note and a star rating. No account, no sign-up - open the app and start.

Three steps.
1. Get off at a station and open the app
2. Tap "Record Here" at the bottom right of the Map (the nearest station is picked for you)
3. Add a photo and a note, then save

No need to type a station name, and you can add past trips later. Or say "Record Here in Oritabi" to Siri, the Shortcuts app or the Action button to open "Record Here" right away.

Your records don't disappear:
iCloud sync and a backup you keep yourself - they stay with you
when you switch phones.

Log as many stations as you like, as often as you like, for free - no daily limit.
The app has no accounts, so there is nothing to suspend or delete. Everyone in the family can use it on their own iPhone (with iCloud sync on, your records come back even after reinstalling).
Station data is built into the app, so you can record underground or where there's no signal.
No rankings, no turf wars - collect stations at your own pace.

10,574 station entries across Japan (a station
served by several lines is counted once per line), from
Shinkansen hubs to tiny unmanned stops in the mountains.

ABOUT THE DATA
Station data from ekidata.jp. Railway line data from the National
Land Numerical Information (Ministry of Land, Infrastructure,

NOTE
Oritabi records the stations you visit, not the sections of
track you have ridden.
Full-screen ads appear now and then when you open a station list, never on the logging screen.
