### 5/5 — これ

*2025-01-15*

めちゃくちゃ良い

### 1/5 — App won’t load

*2024-04-26*

This app used to work with no issue. Now it closes as as soon as I open it and shows tons of adds when it does open. Not really worth the trouble of keeping.

### 1/5 — １回だけ

*2024-04-08*

アプリを入れた直後の計測はできましたが、翌日には開けなかったので削除しました。

### 4/5 — O

### 5/5 — Muito top

*2023-08-15*

App muito bom, ajuda muito a tirar medidas de grandes e pequenas áreas!

### 1/5 — Not intuitive at all!

*2023-07-12*

You need to supply some (any!) instruction on how to use this! 
Typical
 App designed by Apple staff—zero comprehension of customer needs!

### 1/5 — Bulk waypoint input is really nice: all the rest is extremely limiting

*2023-05-17*

Waypoint input is really nice: only apps I saw with it.
 All the rest is extremely limited so useful really

### 4/5 — 衛星写真

*2023-02-25*

他のアプリ使ってましたがこちらのアプリに乗り換えました。
とても良いのですが、衛星写真で水田面積を図ろうとした際に、丁度雲が掛かっている写真のため面積測定が出来ないところがあります。定期的に衛星写真を更新して頂くと非常に助かります。それと、一度保存した座標の編集機能（保存名など）があると助かります。
どうぞよろしくお願いします。

### 5/5 — Muito bom

*2022-11-17*

Melhor app para medições, uso muito na área rural! Seria melhor ainda se atualizasse as imagens do satélite, as que tem são antigas!

### 4/5 — Please update map on this app

*2022-08-03*
