### 1/5 — Obnoxious

*2025-08-30, version 2.0.0*

The radius input is only in miles. Not meters or half miles. I’m sure there are radius that could measure to 1.3 miles but I will never know using this app because after I input the closest mile as 1 I get a review pop up as if everything I wanted to do has been done.

### 1/5 — Liked old version

*2025-08-26, version 2.0.0*

Older version ever

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-07-25, version 2.0.0*

Since the update the app no longer works.

### 1/5 — Was Good

*2025-07-21, version 2.0.0*

In the latest update you can no longer choose any other option but miles. And you cannot enter decimals either. No longer useful for me.

### 1/5 — Latest update is rubbish

*2025-07-17, version 2.0.0*

Can only add pins in miles. No option to add decimal places in when adding radius.

### 1/5 — What’s the point of this App

*2025-02-22, version 1.1.0*

Doesn’t do distance in miles, no even an option to change to miles.. app is completely useless! Don’t download.. this is a super waste of space. 🤔

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2025-01-21, version 1.1.0*

How does this work?

### 1/5 — Awful

*2024-11-08, version 1.1.0*

Can’t change units and the measurements are inaccurate

### 3/5 — Help

*2024-01-11, version 1.1.0*

How do I get this app out of meters?  The United States, utilizes, standard, or imperial units and not metric units. What was this app only made for people in other countries??

### 1/5 — radius

*2024-01-10, version 1.1.0*

Where’s the mileage radius from address entered. I understood this app gives the radius miles from a point like an address. I can’t find it.

### 1/5 — Add other distances

*2022-11-27, version 1.1.0*

Look the whole world doesn’t work in metrics.   It could be 5 stars if you just add different options.   Most need Miles or Kilometers.  But no on earth measures large diameters in meters.  Apparently no one is updating this app either since people have mentioned the same things years ago on here.

### 1/5 — Distance

*2022-04-27, version 1.1.0*

Hard to find how to set a distance you want and then when you do, it’s in meters, so now
I have to use Google to convert meters into miles. Hard to use.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2021-09-11, version 1.1.0*

Doesn’t work

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 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

### 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.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-09-28, version 2.0.0*

Since the update the app no longer works. The GPS needs fixing. Sadly a good app ruined.

### 5/5 — Good alternative

*2021-10-08, version 1.1.0*

Great alternative to RonaRadius which is now broken.

### 5/5 — Very Handy App

*2021-08-07, version 1.1.0*

If all you need to know how far you can go, this is your app. 
Easy to use. 
To delete a point, swipe left. 
Half swipe to rename. 
You can have two or more areas intersecting.
If it’s not doing what you want, turn it off and restart it. (I had an issue where I deleted some areas and they had gone from the list, but were still showing on the map.) a restart of the App fixed that.

A great little App.

### 5/5 — Excellent for drones , can you done this though....

*2021-06-13, version 1.1.0*

Excellent for drone pilots who need to mark out clearances in meters. But can you add to setting to change he default distance. So for example I want to mark 30m across a boundary by tapping around quickly. But noticing at the moment I have to keep changing the 50m to 30m which is slowing the process down drastically. Can it be done? Thanks

### 5/5 — Very good

*2020-10-25, version 1.1.0*

But can’t rename listed items yet!!

### 4/5 — Best radius app so far

*2022-04-23*

I’ve downloaded them all. I really like this one. 

Suggestions:

1) allow imperial measure instead of just metric (I know I know…the US is backward)

2) allow labeling of each dropped “pin”

3) allow searching of the labels of the pins from #2, as well as the name of each radius map 

4) allow some selection of “fill” colors instead of just outline colors 

Overall, I love this app

### 4/5 — It is Useful

*2021-09-20, version 1.1.0*

I haul agricultural so i need to determine air miles around my current location.  It does and it allows me see where I am currently at in relation to the radius.

However, there needs to be an option for using miles.

### 4/5 — Can’t work out how to delete dropped pins

*2021-07-23, version 1.1.0*

Otherwise good.

### 4/5 — Only measures in metres

*2021-05-13, version 1.1.0*

Slightly annoying that for the UK we can’t convert the measurement to miles. It’s simple enough to ask Google to convert miles to meters then enter the meters into the app though. Fabulous app and shows correct distances.

### 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.

### 3/5 — It works but doesn’t do it in miles

*2024-12-03, version 1.1.0*

It does its job, the only problem is that it doesn’t use miles… so you have to convert the mileage
