Dear Explorers,
It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the end of our “exping the world” journey. Despite every effort we have made to find a path forward, the challenging business environment have led us to this tough decision. Effective Dec 31, 2024, 23:59(GMT+8), exping app will no longer be available on the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or any other app marketplace, and the exping web will also be inaccessible.
This is not a step we ever hoped to take, and we share in your sadness as we say goodbye. In line with our original commitment, you will be able to access and export your data right up until the final day of service.
We are incredibly thankful for the community. Each pin on a map represented a story, and we are honored to have been a part of those stories. To all of our exp+ subscribers, we are especially grateful for your trust and support. We will be issuing refunds for any services that cannot be fulfilled.
We also want to take this moment to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our team. Thank you for your unwavering dedication and for making this “To the Moon” journey one we will never forget. Together, we’ve built something truly wonderful.
Although we have to mark our last pin, we hope the places you’ve explored, the experiences you’ve mapped, and the stories you’ve expressed on exping, will continue to inspire your adventures.
Thank you once again for joining us. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact our support team at hello@exping.world
