## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Always pretty bad, now awful

*2017-02-05*

I don't think anyone is maintaining this app anymore. I've had it for years and it's progressively gotten worse. It used to be difficult to use, but functional. Now it won't even do its basic functions (measure distance, area). Whenever I want it to work I have to delete and redownload it.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2016-09-21*

After marking out area doesn't show what the square footage is.

### 1/5 — AWFUL

*2016-07-17*

Don't bother.  Doesn't work. Junk.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work properly

*2016-07-06*

Not only is it difficult to navigate the app between where to touch, drag, double tap, etc., the app doesn't even work. When I try to measure a distance, it gets stuck and won't calculate and further.

### 1/5 — A waste of 99 cents

*2012-05-09*

Yet another cheap app that does not work!!
This is such an easy way to rip people off, Im sick of it.
Apple should be ashamed to be partners in this crime.

### 1/5 — No sat. view function

*2011-03-20*

This is almost worthless without the sat view.

### 2/5 — OK

*2011-05-15, version 1.1*

Good app for calculating the distance of a particular route.  However, it lacks the function of saving your routes for future reference.  The app could use an undo button (not just a 'clear all' button) as well.  I would rate 5 stars if it had these 2 features.

### 3/5 — Basic but does the job

*2011-04-08, version 1.1*

Very basic but does the job I needed. Markers are a bit annoying having to clear them all rather than being able to remove individual ones or even being able to move them around would be a nice addition. 

With a few mods would be great.

### 3/5 — Basic at best...

*2010-09-06, version 0*

The app was useful, but difficult to work. It does the job it's required for, but only barely. In summary, it could be better. 
- hybrid map.
- search, or location system.
- the ability to delete the markers individually, instead of having to delete them all. 
- increased sensitivity of marker placement.

### 5/5 — Excellent, simple and powerful 

*2012-01-10*

This is a great app, has always worked perfectly for me. I don't understand the other review - seems meanspirited, or maybe representing a competitor?  I've tried other apps but their input method for plotting the course isn't as fast. And I miss why not having sat view is a big deal, unless your trying to measure something in the country away from all roads or paths otherwise shown on Google Maps. I think this app is just right for most purposes anywhere near civilization.
