Distance Meter Pro App Reviews

I love the concept. Unfortunately, there is one major flaw in its execution. If there is ANY interruption during your run/walk/bike, your current workout is wiped out and started over. Imagine, you are on your morning biking commute, trying to devine the most effective way to traverse the 7.5 miles from your house. You start your trek on the app and midway you receive a phone call. You chat with the person on the call and continue on your way. On arrival at your destination, you open up the app to check your mileage and it says you have been traveling 1.2 miles in the last 15 minutes! This is NOT an unusual experience with this application. If you are serious about wanting to track your workouts, look elsewhere. If it something you would like to do for your entertainment, fair enough. I have stuck with this app waiting for improvements that never seem to come. You would think with multi-tasking these issues would finally have been resolved. No such luck and I am finally going to give up on it and have deleted it from my phone. it does do a reasonably good job interfacing with on-line site and does appear accurate with distance, time and distance/time during the periods it operates.

Distance Pro works very well. I like the interface; it is simple and easy to read. The GPS locator and tracker only works if you have turned on Location Services on your iPhone.

Download this crappy app if you DO NOT have a need to see the route - its a blank, white screen with no route no matter which option I choose and Ive tried everything. DistCalc pulls up the route via satellite immediately. I WANT MY MONEY BACK!

Awful app! I wish I could get my $$$ back. If you run longer than 5 miles it doesnt seem to have the ability to stay on. Do not waste your &; unreliable!

It was a waist money... Not iTunes friendly app. It doesnt continue to run when you bring up another app. Not very practical for jogging and listening to music

Its not my iPhone 4 cause I have plenty of bars. I am out in the open and still no GPS signal. This app must start up right away from open and continue to run for as long as workout session. Please fix sooner than later. Great concept terrible usability for the moment.

… it dumps all distance calcs when I shuffle my playlist. UNSAT! please fix - could be a great app.

Not worth the money. It only works when it is open. If you get a text, call or want to listen to music while using the app stops working. Wish I could get my money back.

You want an app that is literally dangerous and requires disabling your phone. Ive used this app for a year now in both free and proversion two to three times a week so I think Ive given it a fair chance. The screen contrast is so poor its impossible to read in daylight. I actually sprained my ankle on the edge of the path once trying to read it while running. App will also stop running if you get a call or alert, so using it requires disabling your phone. App designers answer to that is locking the screen, which turns screen black with barely discernible instructions to tap 3 times to return to app, thats right you cannot see progress while screen is locked. Basically it turns your expensive smart phone into a crappy running app. I doubt the designer has ever used it outdoors. Really a poorly designed app that is dangerous and useless.

I want my money back. The cost if this app is a half hour of work for me. Is this considered internet theft. Way too many problems to write down. How is this crap allowed????

This app stops every Te I get a phone call. It isnt worth the price.

I recently purchased this app to help me track my biking trips; route, speed, and calorie burning. The app touts it can do all. I have tried it five times and each time a finish my ride the app contains no information it states that it has been interrupted. When I am cycling I do not want to troubleshoot technology, that is what i do at work. I want an app that works. Distance Pro does not work - AT ALL. If I could get my $2.99 back I would try to get it. The only thing I have to say is DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.

Ive only successfully used this app once. It always turns off by itself. I wish I could get a refund. Super unsatisfied customer

The app might keep track of distance, but not time. While it says that the workout is uploaded, they dont appear on the online site. A failure in mot respects.

This app does not word as per the description. Its just a waste of money. The application turns off by itself. Please skip this one. I wish I did not but this application.

The app was working for the first 10 mimutes then shut off. It asked to resume, and whem it did, it said i went 2 miles less than what i last saw. And the calories were way off from last seen. Waste of money.

I tried this app for the first time today. I was excited to try something that not only maps for me, but links to Training Peaks. The app shut off after two miles. I thought it was due to the passcode lock, so I tried using the screen lock in the app, then alternating to the map and time, to make sure the iPhone 4 did not lock. It happened again around mile five. And then again about two minutes later. And each time the data is gone. And I found that stopping the time resets everything as well. This app is useless.

I used the free app and I was super happy with it. I bought the upgraded version and it didnt work. I shouldve read the reviews first.

This app shuts itself off even with the screen lock on. So, it pretty much does nothing it is supposed to do. I hope they push updates to fix it soon, because otherwise the app is a metaphorical boat anchor.

When the iPhone goes to sleep, this app either a) loses the GPS and stops counting the distance or b)resets itself to zero. Either way, its worthless.
