### 3/5 — There is bug

*2026-05-17*

The calculated bike time between two locations is not accurate. I use Apple map with same points and got very different total time.

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for taking the time to report this bug. Could you maybe get in contact with me via app-support@donner.io and I will look into it. Will fix it then asap!

### 4/5 — Good

*2025-10-21, version 4.7.1*

Good App for Trip Planing, should give option of Other Maps

### 3/5 — A quand une mise à jour????

*2021-08-14*

J’adorais cette application, mais depuis un moment, ça ne calcule plus l’itinéraire!!! Alors que c’était le meilleur que j’avais trouvé, capable de me trouver le chemin le plus court pour mes sorties VTT. 
C’est vraiment dommage!!! Vivement un retour rapide et ce sera 5* c’est certain

I loved this app, it’s easy and fast to use. It’s very useful if you want to measure distances or see how long roads are. I loved it

### 4/5 — Shotsnappy

*2020-08-11*

I see potential with the app, it just needs to fix a few things. Especially while setting the pins, it’s always resetting.

### 5/5 — Useful app

*2020-08-10*

The geomeasure area calculator is an excellent GPS field area map measurement tool an app. It helps you greatly in measuring anywhere, while you are traveling someplace if you want to calculate the distance between two points and cities. Easy to download and use, I love it.

### 5/5 — New User

So far, so good 👊🏽

### 1/5 — Make more user-friendly

*2025-08-14*

Difficult to use confusing interface

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review, 
could you let me know what I can improve and what is confusing for you. Write me an email.
app-support@donner.io. Hope I can help you.

### 1/5 — Murks

*2023-09-06*

Umständlich in der Bedienung, sehr unzuverlässig. Mal funktioniert es, mal nicht. Vier bis fünf Versuche nötig, dann klappt es …vielleicht! Was für ein Murks!

### 1/5 — pass

*2022-06-11, version 3.6.7*

create a route and it mysteriously deletes itself. pinpointing locations on the move takes too many steps. real time plotting of route time consuming and lost an entire turn by turn route when i was almost done.

### 1/5 — Schlecht

*2022-04-09*

Nicht empfehlenswert

### 1/5 — Keeps deleting my list

*2020-12-27, version 3.6.7*

I can’t create more than a few items before it crashes and deletes the whole list. Very frustrating.

### 1/5 — Worthless. It doesn’t work.

*2020-12-20, version 3.6.7*

There’s no point to this anyway with Waze, Google maps, etc...

### 1/5 — Makes no sense

*2020-08-09*

I liked the idea of this app, but using it was a frustrating waste of time.  After setting my location, I went to the map to add my destination, but there wasn't an obvious way to calculate the distance.  Going back to the main screen erased my destination and didn't give me any information about how to figure out the distance.  A useless app unless the developer fixes it AND adds a real tutorial instead of the five or six image quick preview of how it's supposed to work.  Also, they need to become more familiar with the English language if it's to be marketed here. "We strive on your suggestions..." makes no sense.  They need to add a landscape option for tablet users as well.

### 1/5 — Not iPad friendly

*2020-08-08, version 3.6.6*

Not iPad friendly. Only displays in portrait. My iPad keyboard case doesn't function standing up on end. Please fix.

### 1/5 — Not working on iphone 11

*2019-11-04, version 3.5*

Ituso annoying l used to love this app

### 1/5 — Useless

*2017-09-11, version 3.5*

Map did not give accurate location. Waste of time. No stars

### 5/5 — Excellent application

*2026-08-20*

I use it since 2017 and I’m perfectly satisfied with it (and the improvements since that time). 
I recently asked for support and got immediate and efficient support from Dennis. In fact it was a cockpit error from my side, the app works perfectly. I resolved the issue very quickly with the author help. Excellent job !!

### 5/5 — Sehr hilfreich für Vielfahrer

*2026-07-15*

Nach anfänglichen Irritationen, die super schnell und freundlich vom Entwickler gelöst wurden, ist die App für Vielfahrer und Reisende sehr hilfreich. Auch das Zusammenspiel mit den Apple Maps ist top. Für mich ist es die 14,99 pro Jahr wert.

**Developer response:** Danke dir, das freut mich wirklich zu lesen. Schön, dass sich die anfänglichen Irritationen so schnell klären ließen und dass dir das Zusammenspiel mit Apple Maps und der Nutzen für Vielfahrer und Reisen so gut gefallen. Das bedeutet mir viel. Dennis

### 5/5 — Pinpoints

*2026-06-18, version 5.2.1*

I used to use pinpoints a lot back in the early days. 

For a while it sat on the back burner because I had found a couple of other programmes that suited me more at that time. 

I recently opened pinpoints up again because of a family discussion and was blown away at how much this app has improved in the intervening period. 

Wow. 

It has become my go to app for all my trip planning as it is so much more logical and easier to use than the competition that I had been using. 

Again, thank you for an excellent, easy to use programme that looks good and performs a task that useful for me.

### 5/5 — Spitze

*2026-05-31*

Hat sich super entwickelt. Bin rundum zufrieden. Tolle App. Für Reisebegeisterte und Zahlen/Distanzfreaks ein mega Tool. 

Sehr hilfreich. Schöne Spielerei und manchmal eine echte Hilfe. Leider gibt es immer noch einen Bug: die Distanz zwischen zwei Orten wird immer in Meilen angezeigt. Auch bei KM Einstellungen. In der Geamtübersicjt ist es korrekt. Aber in der Top->Down Liste falsch.

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für dein Feedback und die netten Worte 🙏! Es freut mich sehr, dass du die App hilfreich findest. Deinen Hinweis zum Bug mit der Distanzdarstellung (Meilen statt Kilometer in der Top-Down-Liste) nehme ich ernst – ich schaue mir das an, damit die Anzeige auch dort korrekt ist. Danke, dass du mich darauf aufmerksam gemacht hast 🚀.

### 5/5 — Ideale Reisevorbereitung

*2025-12-16*

Egal ob Reise oder ein paar Gebrauchtwarenkäufe…damit ist man bestens vorbereitet, da Apple Maps/Google Maps die Route schnell vergessen wenn man zwischendurch pausiert.

Bei der Übergabe an Apple Maps werden die Standorte als „unbekannter Ort“ übertragen, vielleicht kann das noch behoben werden zur besseren Übersicht

**Developer response:** Danke dir — genau für solche Reise- und Zwischenstoppsituationen habe ich die App gebaut. Den Hinweis mit „unbekannter Ort“ bei der Übergabe an Apple Maps nehme ich mit; das ist ein guter Punkt für die Übersicht. — Dennis

### 5/5 — Top Programm

*2025-10-15*

Bin seit Jahren intensiv er Nutzer. Als Wohnmobilfahrer hilft mir das Programm bei meiner Routenplanung.

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank, dass du PinPoints schon so lange nutzt! 😊
Ich freue mich sehr, dass dir die App bei deiner Routenplanung mit dem Wohnmobil hilft. Genau dafür ist PinPoints gemacht – um Reisen einfacher und übersichtlicher zu gestalten. Gute Fahrt und weiterhin viel Spaß auf deinen Touren! 🚐📍

### 5/5 — Sehr genial

*2025-08-24*

Super gutes Tool zum berechnen von Entfernung - völlig egal ob Fahrstrecke oder Luftlinie. 

Einfach super!
Vielen Dank für diese schöne App

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für dein tolles Feedback, das freut mich sehr! 🙏 Es ist super zu hören, dass dir das Tool so gut gefällt.
