This used to be one of my favorite apps, clean UI, super useful. Then an update rolled out some time ago and when dropping a pin, it goes to a random point +- 20 yards from where your finger was. ### 4/5 — Chris *2025-10-21, version 4.7* Great app so far ### 5/5 — Facile *2025-08-31, version 4.7* Cette application est simple et permet d’avoir un bonne précision de son trajet. Votre montre intelligente ou votre cellulaire vous permet d’avoir votre trajet précis. Mais si vous êtes comme moi, soit que vous ne l’avez pas avec vous ou vous n’avez pas démarrer l’appli. Bref petit outil pratique ***** ### 5/5 — Very Helpful *2025-08-31, version 4.7* Everyone that I show this app to loves it. ### 3/5 — Pretty good *2025-08-28, version 4.7* I like the measurement tool, but I wish you could create multiple start points on the same map and I would love if you could see the measurement as you drag a point ### 3/5 — It's ok, not great *2025-06-14, version 4.6.5* Today's competition in apps is huge. That means people have expectations about UI and performance. The UI is ok but not great. I tried it for about 10 mins, made note of things that could be better, then cancelled the 3 day free trial. ### 5/5 — RTS AG BUILDERS *2024-10-29, version 4.5.4* I love it I build fence around all kind of places and it does the best thank u ### 4/5 — Decimal point in cost per mile *2024-06-09* Need way to enter a decimal for day .22 cents per mile as an average for car per mile price expressed as cost per mile. **Developer response:** Hi Bubba Bunch, Thank you for your review! I just tested this and it seems to work ok if you put 0.22. Can you please reach out to apps@applorium.com with more info on this and we'll fix it for you! ### 5/5 — R be *2023-06-04, version 4.4.0* Dc ### 5/5 — Farmer *2023-05-21* Great for measuring paddocks on the farm ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — About the free trial *2025-09-13, version 4.7* Great App, but the 3 days trial is not free! You will get charged for the full month right away. ### 1/5 — Distance tool *2025-08-24* Uso este app já alguns anos, nunca me decepcionei ao que ele oferece, fico grato pela seriedade de seu trabalho! ### 1/5 — Worthless and wrong *2025-08-15, version 4.6.5* Terrible app ### 1/5 — Really *2025-07-22, version 4.6.5* Can’t review app 15 seconds after opening it, and it seems very silly of the developer to expect that ### 1/5 — DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR $$ ON THIS APP. Does not work properly (see details in review below) *2025-01-26, version 4.5.1* This app is glitchy doesn’t work properly, waste of money I am really upset that I wasted money on this app. I should have done the free trial first or something. When I try to drop pins to measure a distance between two points it only lets me drop a pin from where my GPS location is. Not a new point on the map, which is… stupid. I tried to disable my location to get around it and the button to disable my location doesn’t work/ doesn’t respond even after uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Also there is a red button at the bottom of the screen that says “Hold to add pins. That button also doesn’t work, yet another useless button on the app that doesn’t work properly. I feel scammed out of my money by a substandard developer with no quality control over their work. ### 1/5 — WILPOL *2025-01-25, version 4.5.5* I thought I’d try it for about an hour, and it was supposed to have a three day trial., The system tacked on a full year before they expired. I had to go for Apple to cancel it not happy. At all found a much better app and does not cost as much be careful clicking the try before you buy. ### 1/5 — Distance tool. *2024-07-01, version 4.5.3* The pin drops are way too sensitive to remove. If you drop a pin and try to delete it, in doing so, it drops a new pin. Thus is a shame because I use to use this app a lot. If they could fix this issue I would rate the app 5 out of 5 because it’s ear of use is better than any other by far. This issue causes the app to be useless. I emailed the company but they haven’t fixed the problem. They are always easy to work with and always get back to you if you email them. I hope they fix this problem. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t allow for input of two addresses, and the pin drop feature is useless *2024-06-14, version 4.5.3* Need way to enter a decimal for day .22 cents per mile as an average for car per mile price expressed as cost per mile. ### 1/5 — Do not download *2024-04-10, version 4.5.3* It is very hard to unsubscribe from their subscription service ### 1/5 — Very Disappointed *2024-02-13, version 4.5.2* This app was great until they raised the price for extra features form 3.99 to 39.99, or a subscription. just another big company trying to take your money from micro-transactions. Very disappointing ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent Measuring Tool *2026-04-09, version 5.1* This is an excellent addition for any landowner to measure area’s inaccessible. ### 5/5 — Keep up the good work *2026-01-25, version 4.7* Keep up the good work ### 5/5 — Outstanding exercise planner!!! *2026-01-12, version 4.7* Want to know how far it is around the block? To the store or gym? Just drop some pins and find out! I’ve charted 1.4 miles around my neighborhood, 2 miles, if I include two blocks over. ### 5/5 — Denver *2026-01-10, version 4.7* seeing the streets & roads in various Europe areas I have walked/traveled ### 5/5 — January 2,TH 2026 *2026-01-02, version 4.7* February 13,TH 2026 ### 5/5 — Distance *2025-11-07, version 4.7* Great app and excellent and accurate measure. ### 5/5 — Does what you need *2025-10-10, version 4.7* Get it, exactly wot on tin ### 5/5 — Melhor app! *2025-09-18* Melhor app! ### 5/5 — Perfect tool *2025-09-13, version 4.7* Works perfect for measure distances for planting, farming, spacing ### 5/5 — Review *2025-09-01, version 4.7* pretty good --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
