User reviews

Ruined by ads

Honestly, the UI leaves a lot to be desired but the ads ruin it. Why? I have 4 apps on the store - little ones - and they are free. This isn’t worth money. But, if you think it is - and Google Maps does it for free - then charge for it. This is just a poor user experience.

Point to point

Great app because u can hit the + at each turn to get a very accurate measurement.

Great potential ... BUT

The adverts are irritating
There is no Search facility
Lat/Long display for the cursor position would be useful

and ... it just crashed, losing all my work

O.K. ... I will restore it by pasting back the coordinates from the eMail that I sent myself as a back-up : That doesn't work !!
[the list gets populated with zeros]

Update: The coordinates need to be pasted back in exactly the right format ... i.e. WITHOUT the text from the eMail.

Great App!

This app does exactly what I want and what it says. A few things for the developer to make it 5/5:

- When trying to save an image, the app crashes. I have to text a pucture of it to myself to save
- Have the ability to switch on/off the blue auto-locator, and the pinpoint vertical/horizontal lines
- Have the ability to rename saved paths

I still really like this and is very useful. I can live without a search area, but would definitely enjoy having it available.
