Useful, but

Ads containing porno makes app NSW. If there was a No Ads option I would consider buying. As is, I had to delete the app.

Terrific distance in area measuring app.

I've been using this app for years, both on my iPad and iPhone. The iPad version is full screen. Select two or more points and it gives you the distance in metric, imperial or nautical. Connect points and it will give you the area estimation. You can add and delete points as desired and save your measurements for later reference.
It's incredibly easy to use and I found it to be extremely accurate even when measuring very small distances and areas.
The ads are not intrusive, but you can purchase the option for no ads.
