### 4/5 — O

*2023-11-20*

good app but I hope you can update the map please

### 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。

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

*2022-08-03*

All thins are good but map are not updated

### 3/5 — Good idea, poor execution.

*2022-04-26*

Purchased the 1 year to support developers, and get rid of the consistent 3 ads that covered the screen. Saving a project as you go isn’t a thing. Making multiple, separate area boxes on the same map isn’t a thing, and even after setting to ft and sq ft, it always reverts back to meters. Bummer of a purchase because it wouldn’t take much to make it usable for my whole company.

### 3/5 — Interface can’t be seen.

*2022-01-31*

Two things.

I would very gladly pay for a version that has no advertisements. 

The user interface at the bottom of the screen is so dark I almost couldn’t find it.

### 2/5 — رائع

*2021-01-11, version 3.7.10*

### 3/5 — Review

*2020-01-10*

To many ads

### 4/5 — Very good, but...

*2019-12-26*

This is a very good app which I have used quite a lot. However, the app crashed while I was in the middle of placing a lot of pins. When I reopened the app, all of the pins had gone which means I’ll have to start all over again and hope that it doesn’t crash this time.

### 3/5 — Ok

*2019-09-10*

It’s ok, but the imagery NEEDS an update. It soooooo old. Other wise, great app

### 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.

Typical
 App designed by Apple staff—zero comprehension of customer needs!
