### 1/5 — Unbelievably inaccurate

*2022-02-17, version 1.01*

Standing still, the app says I’ve traveled 6 meters. Wow.

### 3/5 — Needs more units of measurement

*2021-10-25, version 1.01*

I was using this app to try and locate my property markers. I know the distance from my survey map but needed a way to match that measurement and locate the pins. I had to google metric equivalents so I knew how far to walk. I this having an option to change to a different unit of measurement would be very helpful.

### 1/5 — Stupid

*2021-08-26, version 1.01*

Stupid app wontLet you convert to any other unit of measure than meters I’m immediately deleting it

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2018-02-10, version 1.01*

Complete waste of money.  Multiple times I have started the app and stood completely still and watched the meters increment.

### 4/5 — Only Meters

*2017-12-05, version 1.01*

I shoot yards, not meters. More units of measure is defiantly needed. Just cause of my curiosity I wonder why it was released with only meters. Common sense dictates that if your going to make an app that measures distance you include a way to change it to a preferred unit of measure. I do really like that it measures your actual walking distance and as the crow flies. Please add additional units of measure, I’m getting tired of asking Siri to tell me what I want to know.

### 1/5 — Of little use to Americans

*2017-12-05, version 1.01*

Only calculates in meters. No way that convert to feet.  You need to use a converter program.

### 2/5 — Limitations

*2017-12-03, version 1.01*

App freezes and crashes after my old iPhone 4S (iOS v9.3.5) sleep and wake up. I don't want to keep it in to use the app. 😒 Also why meters only?

### 1/5 — Perfect Design, Missing key feature!

*2017-10-25, version 1.01*

So simple, so useful, so useless without being able to change units!! I don't want to switch to my calculator for every measurement... please please please add unit selection

### 3/5 — Good

*2017-07-18, version 1.01*

Please update to give this ability to use feet or yards or miles. Very useful tool but converting is a unnecessary step

### 5/5 — Doesn't get any better than this.

*2017-06-11, version 1.01*

I wanted to measure out 40 meters on the track. I found this app and took a shot. The app is so easy to use, I couldn't believe it! Would 100% recommend this to anyone who want to measure a walking distance in meters!
