### 1/5 — Paid app with Ads

*2025-09-06*

Paid for the app and greeted with a big banner ad at the bottom.

### 1/5 — Always crashes everytime I try to map

*2023-07-30*

Every single time I try to map out a distance, the app always crashes and stops working and freezes completely

### 1/5 — Used to be perfect!

*2022-05-13*

I have used this app for years and it was perfect.  I was prompted to pay to be able to use the distance ruler which used to be free.  Glad to do so because it worked well.  But not now!!!  I can draw a line, like I used to, but no distances appear.  Why screw up a great app?

### 5/5 — Recommended!

*2022-01-13*

Don’t know how you got that opinion. I used it to map out a 2 mile run and it worked really good. No hidden fees.

### 1/5 — Horrible app. Don’t waist time or money

*2020-02-11*

I don’t recommend this at all, it crashes all times and you have to pay

### 1/5 — Good concept, but doesn’t do what it says on the tin

*2019-03-28*

Great concept for someone who plans running routes, but you can’t zoom in/out whilst you are drawing, so unless you want to measure 500m or less this app is completely useless

### 1/5 — Alun

*2018-05-01*

Absolutely useless almost impossible to use
