iPinPoint application is used in the Columbia Public Schools in Columbia, Missouri, where students record the angle on pictures that were taken around the school. Here is the link: http://cpsipads.blogspot.gr/2012/06/app-review-ipinpoint.html iPinPoint application is used in the measurement of Hallux Valgus Angles. "...One smartphone application (iPinPoint) was reliable for measurements of the hallux valgus angles by either experienced or nonexperienced observers.." Here is the link: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28231958/ Upgrade to version Pro and enable the zoom feature and the feature to create projects. With iPinPoint you can use the built in camera or the GPS device to: 1) Compute the magnitude of an angle or the length of an object 2) Compute the length of different objects simultaneously 2) Compute the radius, area and perimeter of any circle 3) Compute the area and perimeter of any triangle 4) Compute various angles that are important in Orthopedics, e.g., Cobb, Baumann, and Humerotrochlear angle iPinPoint is an easy to use app to measure the magnitude of angles and length of objects. Use the iPhone camera to pinpoint the dimensions of the object of interest. iPinPoint will give the magnitude of an angle, the length of the object, the radius/area/perimeter of a circle, and the area/perimeter of a triangle You may visit our website for a preview of the zoom feature.

Measure Map is an application that supports a distance calculator to find out the distance between two or more points anywhere on the earth. In other words, the distance between A and B. Click once on the map to place the first marker, and then click again to position the second marker. The distance between the points will then be displayed. You can also build up a series of locations to find the total distance. A minimum of two markers are required to measure distance and a minimum of three markers to measure area. - Distance results will be output in meters, kilometers, nautical miles, feet, miles, and yards. - Area will be output in meters², kilometers², feet², nmi², yards² and acres. - Save and view measurement sessions - Import list coordinates to draw measurements on the map. - Import and export KML, KMZ, and CSV files. - Edit coordinates of measurement and Share them with other devices. + Support to quick change map type: normal, satellite, terrain, hybrid + Support UTM, MGRS, and VN-2000 coordinates. + Support coordinates at your position - The application uses some icons and designs on the website: # icons8.com # freepik.com # clipartbro.com # Pixeden.com # logo reference from alpha.wallhaven.cc/wallpaper/379827 - The Application use third party open source from website: # github.com/scalessec/Toast-Swift # github.com/Alamofire/Alamofire # github.com/volkerv/GeoCoordinateConverter # github.com/AssistoLab/DropDown # github.com/yukiasai/Gecco tutorial # github.com/jonkykong/SideMenu # github.com/groue/GRDB.swift # github.com/CosmicMind/Material # github.com/hackiftekhar/IQKeyboardManager # github.com/tobihagemann/THLabel # github.com/bizz84/SwiftyStoreKit # github.com/Orderella/PopupDialog # material.io/tools/icons/ --- Thank you for using my app!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Measure Map at 79% against iPinPoint's 0%. Measure Map also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (5.3K vs 2). iPinPoint's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

iPinPoint holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Measure Map has 5.3K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of iPinPoint's written reviews are positive against 79% of Measure Map's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

iPinPoint ships an update every 11 months, Measure Map every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
