- (2021-04-15) Chili Ray: This seems to be totally useless on a Chromebook. None of the buttons are active, and there are no instructions on how to use it. I might as well just stick with Google Maps on my Android phone. I can measure distances with it.
- (2017-07-14) Cash Kesse: Won't load.
- (2017-01-30) Pascal Heitz: Crashes at loading
- (2016-10-29) Sid Withey: It won't load, only a blue screen.
- (2016-08-22) Peter Gagné: Not working at all.
- (2016-07-22) Jeff Man: its not loading for me.
- (2016-07-16) Terra Fur-muh Landscape Management, LLC: No automatic acre calculation and no way to remove or cut out areas. Also not very intuitive to use but is easy once you figure it out.
- (2016-05-14) Vlad Tepes: Very useful tool, of course if the bumbers are precise, I hope so.
- (2016-04-20) Micheal Morgan: have not used it yet but I like the idea of it being free and have some ideas on how to make use of it when I make use of my ideas I will give a more detailed rating of this ffree app
- (2016-02-04) David M Schaedler: I like the fact that you casn actually measure distances traveled. There is a problem in that every time you use your touchscreen, for moving the map or cursor to activate distance, the map changes. Other than that, this app is very useful, good at describing distances in feet, yards, or miles.

- (2015-09-19) Akbar Javed (AJ): very nice
- (2015-08-26) weravuth phongharin: very good
- (2015-08-25) Requires a login to some third party site and attempts to install other apps. Also has some pretty bizarre info-gathering requirements. Privacy nightmare.
- (2015-05-08) John Lecitron: Better then "Google Maps"!
- (2014-04-08) Dario B.: Good but still needs a lot of work. I was looking for an app like this to measure area and distances in any photo given a linear reference. This is the closest app that I've found. I believe there is a lot of potential in something like this.
- (2014-03-15) donnie harold harris: to hard to use.Could not get it to stay on and magnify an area to track.
- (2013-12-17) Tomasz Ścisło: great
