## Description

Radius Around Me helps you draw, visualize, and manage custom radius circles on maps in seconds. Create unlimited circles with precise distance units (miles, kilometers, feet), personalize each circle with custom colors, drop multi-colored markers, and tap to view coordinates or calculated area. Simple controls let you drag markers, change colors, delete items, and switch map styles (Normal, Satellite, Terrain) for clearer spatial insights.

Premium features add dynamic circles that follow your live GPS location and a circle-fill toggle for cleaner visualization. Use current-position tracking, zoom/location controls, and intuitive marker management to plan delivery zones, define service areas, measure distances from points of interest, or quickly estimate coverage for business and travel. Fast, lightweight, and built for practical mapping tasks.

## Review summary

Radius Around Me is praised for its simplicity, usefulness for various professions (drivers, drone operators), and responsive developer support. However, users commonly report issues with the app failing to center circles around the current location, map glitches, and limited functionality for managing multiple radii. Improvements desired include better UI labeling, map view options, and enhanced features for drawing and customizing distance markers.

### Pros

- Simple and easy to use interface appreciated by many users.
- Helpful for specific professions such as truck drivers, agriculture workers, drone operators, and recovery drivers.
- Provides useful features for trip planning and setting radius distances for various applications.
- Responsive and supportive developer interaction.
- Ability to switch measurement units (metric to imperial) and use colored pins in updates.

### Cons

- App fails to center circles on user's current location, reducing usefulness.
- Some users experience app glitches, such as map glitches and 'reading radius data' freeze.
- Limited functionality in drawing multiple radii or overlapping circles simultaneously is requested by users.
- Settings and buttons are sometimes unmarked or awkward to use.
- Some users desire more map options like road, satellite, or terrain views and features like straight line distance measurements.
