### 1/5 — Not doing what it’s advertised

*2026-04-26, version 2.0.0*

Not actually providing me with a radius.

### 1/5 — Terrible navigation

*2026-02-12, version 2.0.0*

I never can figure out how to see the radius at different feet, less than a mile

### 1/5 — Version 2.0 unusable

*2025-12-30, version 2.0.0*

Unusable after the upgrade.

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2025-12-28, version 2.0.0*

I have used this for years. Now using it is cumbersome, and even the "arrow" icon to locate yourself on a map doesn't work but spins continuously.

When I look at location settings, the only option is "when I share"--not when in use or always. 

I've never seen this before

### 3/5 — Lost Functionality

*2025-12-07, version 2.0.0*

This is a great app if you don’t need to go too far, but I lost a lot of functionality with this app when the range was substantially limited compared to previous versions.

### 1/5 — New Version not as good

*2025-12-05, version 2.0.0*

You lost the ability to pin a radius in meters or anything in fractions of a mile

### 1/5 — New update is useless

*2025-11-07, version 2.0.0*

The new update has made this app useless. Also the radius circle is hard to see when on satellite view. What o shame.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-11-05, version 2.0.0*

Doesn’t work
😖

### 1/5 — No good

*2025-10-18, version 2.0.0*

Don’t waste your time

### 1/5 — Loved until now

*2025-10-15, version 2.0.0*

Please make it optional to choose whether you want meters or miles. I use this app and need meters but can’t choose that now, it forces miles.
