Does not work

I draw a line then after moving the the map to the next section, I tap on the wiggle to continue with the route but the previous Line disappears so I’m basically back where I started. I’ve tried time & again but it won’t let me continue to plan my route. I’m annoyed because I’ve paid £ 1.99 for it. I’m going to try get in touch with Apple & try get my money back.

Response from developer

Thank you for reporting this and providing detailed steps to reproduce the issue. New version 4.4 was updated based on your feedback to continue planning your route while drawing a path after moving the map around.

Time waster

Not useful at all. No clear information on how to use the App. Drawing an accurate line with you finger over a phone screen map is near impossible and you have to know the direct way to go!

Great for distance running!

I use this app often for planning a lot of my runs. Very easy to measure distance

Response from developer

Thanks! Glad to hear it. What new features would you like to see added?

Great app

Love it

Response from developer

Thank you!

Very easy

Simple tool but saving you walks isn’t. Useful for when your pedometer is not accurate.

Response from developer

Thanks for downloading Farness and the nice review! Your walk will be saved if you tap Options > Save. You can recall it again later by tapping the Folder icon. I will look into making that more intuitive.
