Review summary

User reviews mainly lament the shift from a one-time, feature-rich purchase to a subscription model, with loss of previously bought features like satellite imagery, map layers, and property lines. Key recurring complaints include the high ongoing cost, trouble restoring purchases, and updates that replaced the paid app with a subscription. A few notes mention farm-field usefulness and external hardware providing precise positioning, but the overall sentiment is negative.

Pros

Historically offered a one-time lifetime license, which many early buyers appreciated.
Provided GPS-based area measurement and field mapping useful for farm or land plots.
Included satellite imagery/topographic map layers (satellite view) as part of its feature set.

Cons

Forced subscription model, with ongoing costs to use features that were previously paid.
Loss of access to satellite view/topo layers and property lines after updates, reducing functionality for existing buyers.
Very high subscription price, with reviews calling it expensive and not worth it.
Restore purchases feature often does not work, causing loss of access to prior purchases.
Auto-updates replaced a paid app with a subscription version, with calls for grandfathering lifetime licenses.

2025-11-11	Pr*****	You deserve no star. Uninstalling.. Update after developer's reply: No, my paid IAPs are not available. There is no practical use without satellite imagery or at least basic topographical map layer. All of these layers were available previously as a paid app. The app developers became greedy and instead of adding new features for IAP purchase revenue, they decided to milk their existing app users. Google needs to STOP 🛑 this kind of robbery. Reaction 2 response: Ok, refund.

2025-07-17	Ge*****	Hi All, we just tried to use the GLRM RTK Receiver general-laser.at/en/glrm-en for enhanced GPS accuracy in the Planimeter app and it worked out well. The position is determined with one centimeter precision, what is amazing. For that the so called location mocking feature of Android must be used. The guide for that workflow can be found on the General Laser homepage under the Resources section. I’m curious what applications and use cases can profit from that.

2025-07-15	Ti*****	I've had this app installed and subscribed to since 2017, paying for a lifetime subscription back then. I've rarely used it in the past year. But now, when I want to use it again, I have to resubscribe, and the price is quite expensive

2025-02-08	no*****	This app used to be awesome. I even went ahead and paid for all the features. Now they want us to subscribe? No thank you. This app is 100% not worth $5 a month.

2024-12-27	Gr*****	Bought this app years ago. Now, as usual, the greed comes, gotta recharge people for a garbage app, that now is no different than every other mapping app on the play store. What made this app differentwas the property lines. This is a joke now. How are you supposed to map out properly without PROPERTY LINES. The new MAP is garbage, give us (RE) PAYING CUSTOMERS our lot lines back, please, or atleast give us the option between the old style and the new one. Thanks Greg

2024-11-22	Za*****	کیا ہمیں اس ایپ پہ سالانہ 13500 دینا چاہیے جس کے zoom میں zero رزلٹ ہے۔ ابھی تک مجھے صرف دو Apps ہی Best لگی ظیں۔ ایک Measure Map Pad pro اور دوسری Agro measure map pro. ان سب کے علاؤہ ابھی تک تو تھوڑی دیر انسٹال کر کے پھر ڈیلیٹ کرنی پڑتی ہیں۔
