How do I cancel my Journey Tracker Pro subscription?
All Journey Tracker subscriptions are managed directly through Apple's App Store. To cancel, go to Settings → [Your Name] → Subscriptions on your iPhone or iPad, find Journey Tracker Pro, and tap Cancel Subscription. You'll retain access until the end of your current billing period.
We are unable to cancel subscriptions or issue refunds directly — all billing is handled by Apple. For refund requests, visit reportaproblem.apple.com.
I purchased Pro but the app shows the free version. How do I restore?
Go to Settings → Subscription within Journey Tracker and tap Restore Purchases. Make sure you're signed into the same Apple ID used when you originally purchased. If the issue persists after restoring, force-quit the app and reopen it, or contact us below with your Apple ID email and we'll investigate.
Can I use Journey Tracker Pro on multiple devices?
Yes. Your Pro subscription is tied to your Apple ID. As long as you're signed into the same Apple ID, you can use Journey Tracker Pro on your iPhone or iPad. Use Restore Purchases on each device if needed.
Can I plan a route without Pro?
Planning a route on the map is a Journey Tracker Pro feature, along with unlimited saved routes, route replay, and repeating any walk. The free version records Strides on a live map, keeps one saved route, and lets you share any walk. Your recorded and planned routes always remain yours, on your device and in your private iCloud, whether or not you keep Pro.
What happens to my data if my trial or subscription ends?
Your data is never deleted when a trial or subscription ends. Journey Tracker continues with the free version — the last 90 days of measurement history, your two most recent lab visits, dose, symptom, and fasting logging, Strides, two PDF reports, and iCloud sync — and everything you've entered stays on your device and in your iCloud. Older history, every lab visit, the other reports, widgets, and other Pro features return as soon as you subscribe again.
Data & Privacy
Your data and your rights
Where is my health data stored?
All your health data is stored locally on your device using AES-256 encryption via iOS FileProtection. If you have iCloud enabled, data syncs to your personal iCloud account through Apple's CloudKit framework — stored in your iCloud, not any server we control. Journey Tracker developers do not have access to your health data in iCloud.
How do I delete all my data?
You can delete all Journey Tracker data in three ways:
In-app: Go to Settings → Privacy & Security → Delete Account & All Data — this removes all on-device data immediately.
Delete the app: Deleting Journey Tracker removes all local data from your device.
iCloud: To remove cloud backups, go to iOS Settings → [Your Name] → iCloud → Manage Storage → Journey Tracker and delete the data there.
We do not retain any of your health data on our own servers — there is nothing on our end to delete.
Why does Journey Tracker use my location?
Location is used for one thing: mapping your walks while you record them with Strides. Journey Tracker only ever asks for "While Using the App" access — never "Always" — and location is collected only during an active recording, never in the background otherwise. While a recording is in progress (even with the screen off), the iOS location indicator stays visible the whole time.
Your routes stay on your device and in your private iCloud. They are never sent to our servers or any non-Apple third party. You can revoke access anytime in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services → Journey Tracker.
How do I submit a privacy rights request (CCPA / GDPR)?
To exercise your privacy rights — including the right to access, correct, or delete personal information — contact us using the form below or email support@journeytracker.app with the subject line "Privacy Rights Request". If your request concerns your subscription record, please include the Support ID from Settings → About (tap to copy). We will respond within 45 days as required by applicable law. If an extension is necessary, we will respond within 90 days total and notify you of the extension.
Technical Help
App & sync issues
My data isn't syncing across my devices. What should I try?
Journey Tracker syncs via Apple's CloudKit. Try these steps in order:
1. Ensure all devices are signed into the same Apple ID.
2. Go to iOS Settings → [Your Name] → iCloud → Apps Using iCloud and confirm Journey Tracker is toggled on.
3. Check you have available iCloud storage (Settings → [Your Name] → iCloud).
4. Force-quit and reopen Journey Tracker on both devices.
5. If issues persist, toggle iCloud off and back on for Journey Tracker and wait a few minutes.

HealthKit isn't reading my weight data. How do I fix this?
Go to iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Health → Journey Tracker and confirm the data types you want to share are toggled on. You can also manage this inside the Apple Health app under Sharing → Apps → Journey Tracker. After granting permissions, return to Journey Tracker and pull-to-refresh on the weight log screen.
Does recording a Stride with GPS drain my battery?
GPS does use more battery than normal app use, but only while you're actively recording a Stride — the same as any walk or run tracker. The moment you finish (or discard) a recording, location stops entirely; Journey Tracker never tracks location in the background outside a recording. For a typical 30–60 minute walk the impact is modest, and recording with the screen off helps.
