### 1/5 — Demand a refund!

*2021-08-18, version 1.0*

I am not sure if this complaint should be directed at the developer or Apple for fraud?!?

I was excited to utilize this app, and was alright with the $1.99 price tag, however it doesn’t work!  And it wasn’t until AFTER paying / downloading the app that a message displays stating that the developer needs to update in order for it to function on the current version of iOS.  

Where is the consumer protection???  A warning should flag PRIOR to purchase within the app store.

### 3/5 — App update needs fixed to work.

*2021-07-21, version 1.0*

This app is great but it is not working with the newest update on apple phones.

### 4/5 — Productive tools

*2016-01-13, version 1.0*

The app store needs more of this sort of thing.

The tools allow you to do some simple technical analysis of maps or imagery.  Seems like a simple task but there isn't much out there.

I like it - it provides capability that is otherwise missing from my phone.

I would make the following recommendations for the developer:
1) give us a way to contact you through email in the app so this sort of stuff doesn't get put here in reviews
2) when exporting to SMS, the measurements between points aren't always populated correctly (a simple four point path had the distance between points two and three as "2 - 3" instead of the actual distance like for the other points)
3) allow multiple radius 'things' at a time. right now it deletes the active one when you touch anywhere else (to make a second one)
4) allow multiple independent paths / areas to be displayed
5) allow saving of paths / radii and grouping of overlays into 'multi overlay views'
6) allow customization of paths and radii (color, opacity, display text on map or not...)
7) make it easier to determine what is on and off (distance, route, area... maybe green text is on and red is off)
8) separate 'circle tool' from just 'angle tool' - maybe just the triangles are needed for some applications where the circle distance tool would be better for others
9) continue development! this is good stuff and is a vastly under-served area of the store. Please keep improving.

### 2/5 — Disappointing

*2015-04-14, version 1.0*

Can't even use current GPS location to create waypoints. The menu is confusing and it's very difficult to read the distances between points. This app needs to be completely redesigned before I consider it worthy of download.
