User Reviews

Reviewers praise Distance Tool for accurate pin-based distance measurement and practical use across neighborhoods and areas, with ease of use. However, recurring concerns about pricing/subscription models, reliability glitches, address search reliability, and pin-management quirks hinder long-term usability.
Pros
  • Accurate, pin-based distance measurements.
  • Easy-to-use tool for measuring distances.
  • Practical for real-world tasks like fencing, farming, and spacing.
  • Covers multiple areas and mapping contexts (neighborhoods and Europe).
Cons
  • Pricing and subscription problems: free trial not free, sudden charges, price hikes, and paywalls that limit saving multiple routes.
  • Reliability and UI issues: glitches, unresponsive pin controls, and failures to save measurements.
  • Address search problems: unreliable searches and results not appearing.
  • Pin management usability problems: dropping pins is overly sensitive and deleting pins can create new pins.

Want to know how far it is around the block? To the store or gym? Just drop some pins and find out! I’ve charted 1.4 miles around my neighborhood, 2 miles, if I include two blocks over.
