### 1/5 — Not good

*2018-08-27*

The App crashes, does not seem to allow satellite view, does not show current location! Maybe the paid version works, but the price is set far too high

### 1/5 — Unnütz

*2017-07-26*

Sehr sehr unübersichtlich, sehr schlechte Bedienung und Flächen im U-Format können nicht vermessen werden, da das Programm automatisch Verbindungen zieht.

This is not a very good application.

### 1/5 — Disappointed App Owner

*2015-12-23*

Total waste of money. This app is useless and does not measure distances or compute acreage as advertised. Read Help section many times and it was no help or instruction. Wrote app contact for help and they wrote back to try the help section. Grrrrrr

### 5/5 — nice app
