Pin Points Distance Calculator for Negative User Reviews

✓ WorthlessI wanted to make travel plans and needed to know the distance between two cities, for that purpose this app is totally worthless..Brad333Version: 1.0

✓ OK but needs workDoes a fairly good job of calculating distances, but needs work. 1) Distances shown in miles have shorter distances shown in meters, not feet. 2) Once a pin is set, it can't be moved. You can put a pin down and move it around, but once you tap the + to set it, you can't move it. You can't even see it (#3). 3) You can't see your pins on the map. Set your start, add a pin, then go to add another pin and the previous pins are hidden. 4) Once you set a pin, when you go to set the next pin the view zooms out to the North American continent, so you have to pinch/zoom in several times to get back to where you can see the next point for your pin. This isn't a problem if you are calculating distances between cities in the US, for example, but a real pain if you are trying to find the distance of a local hike or on another continent. If you can live with these shortocmings, it will do the job..PsmytheVersion: 3.5

✓ Problem right from the startThis app looked very worthwhile (although I guess I could do the same thing with one of the GPS apps I have). However....when I put in my location and another whose distance and best route I know very well, pinpoints routed me on a longer route (29 miles instead of 22) that would take me more time. Thinking that was a blip, I tried it again a half dozen times and it only gave me the best route three times. I KNOW these routes, but if I didn’t know one and entered it in this app, it’s 50-50 that I would be driving more than I needed to. I won’t comment on the rest of the app except to agree that there MUST be a Help and/or FAQ page. And the how-to video needs to be slowed down a LOT. I hope the next update will include greatly improved routing. I’d like this program to work..Bought FourVersion: 3.5

✓ It's not badHowever, it needs a "clear history" button..JinksedVersion: 3.1

✓ Only metric?Yes, I know you can choose between miles and kilometers, but I choose miles, pinpointed a short distance, and get meters instead of feet or yards..JDnALVersion: 3.2

✓ Doesn't workCouldn't enter pinpoints on my iPad Air 2. Kept showing me a blank pinpoints list. Never got the calculate button. Deleted..YggizVersion: 3.5

✓ PassCreate a route and it mysteriously deletes itself. pinpointing locations on the move takes too many steps. real time plotting of route time consuming and lost an entire turn by turn route when i was almost done..DuncanAppReviewVersion: 3.6.7

✓ Limited usefulnessIt's a good concept, and nice beginning. Hopefully it will drastically improve. It would be nice to have a + button to be able to easily have multiple routes saved. To make a new route, you have to manually delete each waypoint of the existing route, and start over. Also, as others have mentioned, each time you want to put in a new waypoint, the map zooms out to a continental scale. Now, every time you calculate the route, it becomes a new route. There should rather be a simple distance given by each route when in the list mode without having to recalculate each time..JHarralVersion: 3.2

✓ Good startSuggestions 1. A version for iPad with better analysis would be very useful. 2. At the list, an Edit action with Rename, Rearrange and Delete options is necessary. Naming the calculated trips is the only way to be able to remember and find one in the list. Good start..George CLEVersion: 3.1

✓ Makes no senseI liked the idea of this app, but using it was a frustrating waste of time. After setting my location, I went to the map to add my destination, but there wasn't an obvious way to calculate the distance. Going back to the main screen erased my destination and didn't give me any information about how to figure out the distance. A useless app unless the developer fixes it AND adds a real tutorial instead of the five or six image quick preview of how it's supposed to work. Also, they need to become more familiar with the English language if it's to be marketed here. "We strive on your suggestions..." makes no sense. They need to add a landscape option for tablet users as well..Flightguy2014Version: 3.6.6

✓ UselessMap did not give accurate location. Waste of time. No stars.Laptop y hilangVersion: 3.5

✓ Not working on iphone 11Ituso annoying l used to love this app.AlexQRVersion: 3.5

✓ No exportingI think the idea is great and fits a need but you can't export it to anything to share with friends or family. One star.AsfgjkVersion: 3.2

✓ Great appDoes not work. Tried to reboot the app but does not work. It worked in the past but not anymore, and that’s the reason for two stars. Fix it and I’ll give five stars..Danzy the PanzyVersion: 3.5

✓ I don't get it...I can add one point but I absolutely cannot figure out how to add another. There is nothing intuitive about this app at all. If I were asked I'd say, "Put some controls on the map." "Make it remember I want a hybrid view so I don't have to change it every time." "Give me a way to rewatch the tutorial because I sure can't figure it out." "A control on a different page that does only one thing is useless. I don't want to go back and forth. And all it does is save one point, not a whole trip." "Put some troubleshooting info in the description or on your web-page - which I had to go back to the App Store to find." I guess I'm disappointed because this looked like an app I could really use. I do see there is one other review that agrees with me - also on an iPad Air 2. So that gives me one more thing to say, "Test." Sorry, no stars..Anti-(fill in the blank)Version: 3.5

✓ UselessThis is a useless app. Plug in an address and it will not allow any usage..IateitallVersion: 3.2

✓ Keeps deleting my listI can’t create more than a few items before it crashes and deletes the whole list. Very frustrating..Montev2Version: 3.6.7

✓ Can't quite wrap my mind around itI like the simplicity of the app, but it's also too simple. It needs some more controls. How does it do anything?.MacGrandpa2.0Version: 3.3

✓ AwfulHate it.Bossy35Version: 2.0

✓ Worthless. It doesn’t work.There’s no point to this anyway with Waze, Google maps, etc....DamronhimselfVersion: 3.6.7

✓ Non functionalCan not get this app to pinpoint multiple locations. Was hoping to use it as a road trip planner visiting national parks across the country. This app is useless. Does not even function as it did the first time I opened it yesterday. Waste of time and money. Tried to contact developer support and that did not work either..IPad.will.travelVersion: 3.2

✓ No good for POI's and BusinessesYou can only get directions by manually imputting the addresses for each point, i.e. you can't just search for "Pizza Hut" and find it, you have to know the address. If you want to browse the map, it always starts with all of North America, then you have to zoom in to your state/city etc. The current location button doesn't work—it thinks I'm in the middle of the ocean!.KatnissPeetasonVersion: 3.2

✓ Not iPad friendlyNot iPad friendly. Only displays in portrait. My iPad keyboard case doesn't function standing up on end. Please fix..Bill5239Version: 3.6.6
