Location Distance Finder app review

Reviews

Introduction

How often do you find yourself trying to figure out the exact distance between two points? The Location Distance Finder for your iPod touch, iPad, and iPhone will do all the calculations for you and give you an accurate answer. You'll be able to find the space/distance between two points even if it is a circle. These points can also be located anywhere around the world and the app is able to use your current position. You can even share the distance calculation by email with friends and family.

Accurate Calculations

Not everyone has the ability to figure out the distance between two locations with ease; in fact, most people just make an approximation or a guess. There’s no need to guess anymore because the Location Distance Finder will do all the work for you. The app uses your current location automatically and then you can draw a line to your ending point. After doing this the app will provide you with the information. Remember it can measure any two distance points in the world. Keep in mind all of this information can be emailed as a screenshot. The information can also be saved on your device so you can access it.

For all its pros this app obviously has a number of negatives as well as it scores just two out of five stars from users. The app hasn't been updated in three years now, with the last update featuring enhancements to the search function.

The User Experience

So what is the user experience like with the Location Distance Finder app? Well it’s a bit of a mixed bag. There are a number of apps in this category and I find that this one doesn't "measure up" to a lot of them. It has far fewer features than the average one does and yet this one isn't even free. I do like the fact you can draw a line as your route and I like that it figures out the shortest distance between any two points but outside of that, where are the rest of the tools?

I find the user interface to be a bit muddled and not very modern. It just isn't what most people expect nowadays from their apps. I do appreciate that the app can be navigated using the tabs along the bottom of the screen but that doesn’t make up for the overall disappointment here.

Final Thoughts

The Location Distance Finder app for your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch can perform very basic calculations but it really falls short overall and leaves users wanting a whole lot more.
