Why Users Are Leaving Top Surveying Apps

Measure Map Pro

Chronic instability after updates with features breaking or being removed from paid versions, combined with terrible customer support that ignores user complaints

"every time it is updated it has new bugs and there always has to be a work around to make it work"

"App worked quite well until latest update which is not loading and consequently stalls the app in a waiting to load mode. App in now useless and no response from developer."

Planimeter for map measure

Completely broken address search functionality for 4-6 months with crashes on app open, making paid version unusable

"Used this App for three years, never had an issue. Now it's broken and has been for about 4-5 months. You cannot type in an address any longer to look a property."

"As everyone mentioned, this app has turned garbage over the last six months. Crashes upon opening in the last 2 months. Crashes when entering an address in the last 6 months."

Property Line Finder

Provides no actual surveying capability beyond free Google Maps data, with expensive dual-fee structure ($20/month + $14/property) for minimal value

"It basically does the same thing Google, Zillow and AcreValue do for free instead of $14.95 a credit."

"Property survey app that doesn't show boundary Lines? You have to pay $20 monthly to have the service and then $14 per search. Do you take me for stupid?"

Major frustration around confusing version naming (Pro vs Standard vs Professional), being charged multiple times for same features after updates, and hidden costs ($20/month subscription PLUS $14 per property search). Users feel deceived by 'free Pro' offers that actually deliver basic versions.

Users demonstrate willingness to pay premium prices ($15-30 one-time, $20/month subscriptions) for professional measurement tools, especially contractors using apps for landscape bids and roofing. However, they expect reliability and feature retention in exchange.
