| 2024-05-05 |  | | Was pretty great back when Google had removed its measuring tools. Now you can't move the map (two finger drag used to do it), so unless you are standing in the center of what you are trying to measure, you are SOL. Last updated in 2022 so def look elsewhere for a ruler app, all you will get now are ads and frustration. |
| 2023-09-05 |  | | Ads now far too intrusive for what the app actually does (it was a good app but pretty basic), and I can do the same thing and more with any OSM mapping app. Uninstalled. |
| 2023-06-26 |  | | This app is extremely useful for hiking, kayaking, or expeditions of any kind. From seeing how far you walked your dog, to planning week long kayaking trips, this app makes tracking distance easy and fun. |
| 2023-03-07 |  | | Promising. Needs pop-up baloons with instructions and options and tips, as for now one nust learn by "dare try and fail". But useful, in the end. Only, as of now, learning how to use it needs time: 13 min. to become a basic user. I am keeping it, and keeping learning. Thank you dear creators. I have not encountered any ads, so far: which is one more great reason to download and install it and use it. |
| 2022-10-24 |  | | I used this app 2015 for mearsurement of catchment area about 1450 squarkilometer which hase 5000 points then edit points position as correct position then save and load marked map and take screen shot and print screen shot but i am not knowing how to print this marked map on scale for submission of hard copy of map please show proses of map printing or add feauter of printing or email maps |
| 2022-02-13 |  | | Extremely useful app, although it does take a bit of getting used to. Just moved to a decent piece of land, and combining with another mapping program I was able to get GPS accurate property markers set up. Whoever designed this app, pure genius! |
| 2021-10-31 |  | | This app used to be great. Now every time I use, it has sooooo many pop up adds, it's become unusable. They pop up while your touching the map so it immediately redirects you to the adds website. Or when it does give you the option to close the add, the "x" that you press is sooo tiny that when you try to close it, it redirects you to adds website. Sooooo many adds.... It's become complete and total garbage money grab. I do not recommend. Not worth the hassle. |
| 2021-03-31 |  | | This app does exactly what I needed it to. I can plan workouts, or map previous ones that I wasn't loving. It's also super simple to navigate. |
| 2021-01-23 |  | | Great app. Only thing I'd change, move the delete button a bit further from the other buttons so you don't press it accidentally when you're half way through tracing a complicated route! |
| 2020-11-15 |  | | Works well. Accurate. I wish the way it saved and labeled saved routes were more intuitive but its good. Keeping me on task for my half marathon while I explore the city |
