Latest reviews of Location Distance Finder app for iPhone and iPad

Good idea.
GoogleMap shoud probably have it. Thanks for fixing their shortcoming. I would add distance in nautical miles or have choice. Can "Find" also search like googlemaps?
Not a bad product
This app has great potential. It helped me locating a needed distance. However, I concur that a search functionality is important especially for unknown locations. I too agree with the choice of selecting meters or miles. Not worth the $1.99 as of yet but could if enhancement were made quickly.
Difficult to use not getting better
Obscure operation with no instructions. Good idea with poor execution. This revision added no instructions to the ap. Dont waste your money
A for effort but not enough
It would be nice if you added way points. When your driving a car distance is not a straight line.
Good Idea, Horrible Execution
Great idea for something that Maps should already do. Absolutly •••• execution of said idea. Designed by monkeys.
