### 1/5 — Cancellation process impossible to find

*2024-04-20*

Barely worked for me and the return process is a secret

### 1/5 — 90% measurement and then mandatory payment

*2024-02-21*

I was almost done with one single measurement, and then before I could finish it popped up a permanent payment box that won't go away even if you kill and reload the app. Don't label the app as FREE when I can't even complete one measurement before the paywall. 👎🏼👎🏽👎🏾👎🏻👎

**Developer response:** I’m sorry that you don’t have 0 USD for a free trial period up to 2 weeks.

### 1/5 — AVOID AVOID AVOID SCAM

*2023-10-27, version 6.2.2*

Upon subscribing to this pretty much useless app it is near impossible to unsubscribe from. Literally no option to do so

### 3/5 — Tracking vehicle

*2022-12-18*

I downloaded it hoping to be able to follow my tracks for a repeat trip.

**Developer response:** Please check out the new major version 6.0!

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2022-03-15*

Don’t waste your time with this app. I used it for less than five minutes and it glitched the whole time. Waste of time and storage space.

**Developer response:** The bug is fixed!

### 1/5 — DO NOT DOWNLOAD

*2021-07-04*

After your first 20 feet of measurement the app demands money and you can't use it again until you sign up for the "free trial" with recurring payment after the first week. Complete garabage STAY AWAY

### 1/5 — Terrible app, not accurate

*2020-11-12*

Measures +/- 5 feet, needs to be more accurate. Even when you end up at your distance that number is way off.

### 1/5 — Easy to use, but not accurate

*2020-08-11*

Does not seem to have a true zero point.  I set it on a post and hit “start”. Walked about a hundred meters and stopped.  The display took a bit to catch up, but never stopped registering longer distance, even after 5 minutes standing still. Turned around and back tracked to my starting point and the display said I was 6.6 meters from the start point and continued to gradually increase, though my phone was still.  Nice idea, but missing something from the algorithm.

### 2/5 — A dollar for yards only?

*2020-07-07*

App summary: you can use gos to measure yards only. Other units are not available, except meters, which is supported in a different app.

### 1/5 — Can only go in a straight line

*2020-05-15*

I tried to use this to measure meters around my neighborhood for running sprints but when I turned the corners it started measuring backwards. Useless.
