Apps and services to keep track of visited states in the U.S

In this article, we've compiled the best services and apps to check off U.S. states visited.

Apps and sites are indispensable when traveling. Facilitating navigation, finding places of interest, reviews of hotels and vacation areas - all this is the merit of modern services. But they are useful not only during the trip. For avid travelers, it's important to mark places they've been before, keep statistics and share them with friends.

Traveling to the U.S. often requires the use of separate services. After all, states or unique attractions are not displayed everywhere. To this end, many sites and apps have been created, both for simple note taking and full-fledged note taking, goal setting, etc.

Three of the most popular state counter apps are 'Places Been - Travel Tracker', 'Countries Been: Visited Places', and 'Visited: Track Your Travels'.

The map can be scaled, colors and design can be changed. After creating it, you can download the picture, share it in social networks or place the link on your personal site.

** Cons**:

• Green - spent a lot of time sightseeing or returning several times.

U.S. states not visited are grayed out.
