### 2/5 — Seems inaccurate

*2026-05-01*

Nice idea, but seems to overestimate the distance by quite a lot, maybe because my finger-drawn line isn’t smooth enough.

### 2/5 — Useful for short distances

*2025-12-30*

If you’re trying to measure long distances, be prepared to either pay for premium, watch an ad to continue measuring, or close the app and measure again. Other than that the app works pretty well with the ability to choose distance units and draw on the map conveniently with your finger.

### 2/5 — problem in map area

*2025-12-03*

south pacific and oceania map area is wrong also 
area above 60degree north in Eurasia is not working properly

### 3/5 — Good app for distance however to much ads

*2025-06-25*

Decent app, really useful creating routes and measuring distance. I use it on a regular basis however the amount of ads there are (never had been a problem) now is ridiculous, every mile created there’s an ad and it’s jarring and it would be for 30sec which in my opinion too long for ads. Other than that it’s good

### 2/5 — Problem with ads

*2024-12-10*

I’ve always loved this app but the ads in it have gotten terrible. They cover the content and there is no way of closing them other than logging out of the app. When you use the Google add menu and you tell it it covers the content, it takes the content of the ad away and leaves a big blank square that you still can’t close

### 4/5 — Very good app, not great

*2024-07-25*

I use it a lot to track all kinds of distances and really love it, would highly recommend. Only reason it’s not a 5star is because the app does feel kind of dated. I also would find it cool if there was a way to lock your finger to draw lines straighter since dragging it makes the lines pretty wavy and slightly less accurate. But overall great app, use it a lot

### 5/5 — Good App

*2022-06-06, version 5.8.7*

Is very helpful!

### 5/5 — Thank you!

*2022-05-21*

I had a different program I used for years but they changed their format so I tried this one.  It works perfectly for our needs.  Easy to use from the first day.

### 3/5 — Finer route lines.

*2022-02-19*

Good app but how can I achieve a finer line after I’ve marked my route out?

### 5/5 — Great easy to use app

*2021-09-23*

I have used this app for several years now several times a week to measure walks or runs. Really helpful and easy way to log distances.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2021-09-15*

Not overly complicated and works well. Beauty!

### 5/5 — Very Helpful

*2021-08-05*

It’s been such a help since I’m not able to get to a track really so I use this to do measure what 100 meters, 200, 400, mile, etc. will look like. Genuinely thankful for whoever made this app!

### 5/5 — 使いやすいです

ウォーキングした距離を測るのに使っています

### 5/5 — Most fun

*2021-04-10, version 5.8.1*

I am a geography nerd that loves to travel. Being able to estimate distances with this app has brought me hours of fun, appreciation, and on occasion real good information relative to my travels.

I really appreciate this app and share it with as many as possible.

### 1/5 — скатились

*2025-08-13*

просит посмотреть рекламу а в итоге рекламы нет

### 1/5 — Ad central

*2025-06-12, version 5.11.11*

Trash , free, but with way too many ads, just like everything else in the App Store

### 1/5 — No longer accurately measuring.

*2024-11-11, version 5.11.1*

Used to work quite well, but now it is off by about 2x the actual distance.

### 1/5 — 素晴らしいアプリでしたが…

*2024-02-13*

2024年の始め頃までは大変便利なアプリでしたが、2月頃からは広告が急増するわ地図が反映されないわで一気に質が急降下したように感じました。
よって辛辣ではありますが、開発者の驕りを重く見た上で最低評価とさせていただきます。

### 1/5 — 垃圾！

*2023-06-23*

外国的都不能看！垃圾！

### 1/5 — App does not work

*2023-04-16*

As far as I can tell this app does not actually work.

### 1/5 — Péssimo

*2020-12-25*

Cheio de propaganda
Mal organizado

### 1/5 — Nonsense app that isn’t intuitive

*2019-07-12, version 5.0.3*

Luckily it’s free so you won’t feel bad when you delete it. Bonus is you will get to delete the climate change spam in the header as well.

### 1/5 — Grottenschlecht

*2019-02-24*

In welcher Sprache diese App sein soll, ist unklar! Deutsch ist es jedenfalls nicht! 
Die Genauigkeit dieser App lässt ebenfalls sehr zu wünschen übrig!
Wieder deinstalliert!

### 1/5 — Measuring crashes app

*2019-01-09, version 3.2.4*

Every time I try to measure something it crashes the app.
