Review summary

Users find the app easy to use, accurate, and helpful for measuring distances and managing travel, especially for work and educational purposes. However, many reviews highlight issues such as inability to enter locations by typing, forced switch to satellite view without option to change back, lack of offline maps, inconsistency in distance units between road and air measurements, and limitations on usage such as daily measurement caps and occasional crashes.

Pros

Easy to use and convenient for measuring distances.
Accurate calculation of distances, useful for work and geography lessons.
Good for measuring road distances and helping manage travel time.
App provides both road distance and air distance (in some versions).
Helpful for new road work and general mapping needs.

Cons

Cannot input location by typing; only allows dropping pins on the map.
App switches to satellite view after placing a pin and does not revert back to map view.
Air distance is only displayed in kilometers and not miles, causing inconsistency.
Lacks offline functionality; requires internet connection to use.
Measurement features are limited per day and app can crash after multiple measurements.

2022-05-27	G.*****	There are 4 major problems with this app. There is no provision for typing in a location. If you have two points marked on the map and ask for distance, it deletes the points forcing you to find them again. After selecting a point, the display always switches from map to satellite which uses more data. When distances are provided, the driving distance is in miles and kilometers but the air distance is only in kilometers. With a little attention to details, this could be an excellent app...
