Map Ruler Touch App Reviews

Too bad that after paying the money one finds that the app IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH iPAD!! It will not display in landscape, which makes it very unattractive to me. The maps are VERY SLOW to re-display after a zooming function. I hate giving an app such low marks, but the fact is that Im completely sorry that I made this choice. Perhaps theyll get with it shortly and let iPad users enjoy looking at the screen in the manner they choose.

Easy, quick distance estimates when I dont need full directions and just want to have an idea of how far away a place may be.

Just what I was looking for, easy to use and handy for getting distances of trails

Im not really sure what that previous poster was talking about. It runs great on my iPad. I do have to agree that it might be nice to have support for both orientations, but other than that it was real fast and easy to use.

Crashes everytime when you try to change the brush color. Developer, How can you not catch this? Took me about 30 sec within using the app to find this.

Cant complain about an easy to use app that only costs $.99!

Love the app, enormous help when I need it. Would be even more useful if I could search for a location directly in the app, and perhaps add directions and bookmarks. Another useful feature would be a legend/ruler visible at all times on the map.

Great for measuring hiking trails. Have bought numerous maps, including backpacker-this app is the easiest one and suits my need.

Great little tool to have!! Kudos to the developer :)

The app seems to load everything except the actual map... Please fix!!

The concept is very nice to map out rides and runs. The app seems to work well if you are lucky enough to make it through your route without crashing. Once that issue is resolved I think this will be a very good app. Please fix!

Just bought it...10 minutes into first usage it crashed. Not good start. Also doesnt have ability to take photo of measured map. Seems to have potential but needs update to fix problems.

Wont stay open. The program closes after 20 sec. Please fix.

Absolutely marvelous thanks!

Previous version gave blank page (no maps) after pressing location icon. I waited nearly six weeks before updating to current version to give time for developer to correct "closing after 20 seconds" mentioned in another review. Latest update does indeed close after a few seconds on iPad 1 with IOS 5.1.1. Many GPSers prefer iPad 1 because it is the most robust of all the iPads. Screen is almost immune from damage due to rough handling, especially when compared to later versions of iPad. iPad 1 cannot be upgraded to IOS6, and Apple will apparently not be supporting iPad 1 beyond 5.1.1. I will wait 30 days for usable version. After that I will be compelled to delete, as there are other similar apps that work well. Developer please take note!

Every time I start a new measurement the map location takes me to middle of the Atlantic off coast of Africa. Dont know how to change.

Just purchased for my new iPAD to chart and measure run routes; locked up within minutes; only does single straight line measurements, no grab and drag to move the map and keep measuring, and no map rotation. no true route mapping like on google earths PC version; if you go to options, and then go back to main display, half the screen remains white. Overall, pretty sucky app and not worth paying for.

Simple

One of the few "go to" apps that I find myself using all the time. Great for finding out how far I go on my walks. Works perfectly and has never failed me.

Zoom feature is not responsive enough to get an accurate trail mapped out at street level. A snap to roadway feature would be helpful in order to offset the randomness of where the lines end up
