Unreliable. I don't mean to put down the hard work of the creator(s), but this app does not give consistent measurements on distance. On two different days, it gave a roughly 45 meter difference on the same route. It also seems incapable of following curved paths, instead shortening them to straight lines, resulting in a more then 400 meter difference on another longer route. It has potential, but in its current state is essentially useless.

Hi Eric! The application relies on the phones GPS receiver for positioning. Uncertainty in the measurements is therefore unavoidable, but as the size is increased, the error will be of less relative importance, especially for area. The app is therefore recommended for areas of size no less than 1000 square meters.

I've only used this once since installing so only giving four stars for now... I walked about 200 yards, then cleared the tool and walked straight back to starting location. Both measurements were the same. I turned on the map function (Google maps) and it pinpointed my actual standing location within about 3 ft. I understand that this is not enough data for a true study...but my initial impression of the app is extremely positive.

Did not work on Galaxy S9+. Don't know if took a while for sattelites to catch up with app but on full signal this app never added up the first few metres after setting off to measure. The first time I tried it, it never registered first two metres, after that each time used sequentially it got so bad that at one point I walked 5 metres before it started recording. Gave up and just bought a 30 metre tape measure.

Thanks for your comment Judith. This application is not intended for small areas or indoor use. Use for areas larger than about 30x30 square meters.
