Distances To vs DistancePinner

An honest comparison based on real user reviews. Both are popular Distance Calculator apps — but which one do users complain about less?

Distances To

Main Weakness

Complete and persistent app failure - cannot locate any cities or load Google Maps for 45%+ of users, with no developer support or fixes

"Like me I've seen many people with SAME COMPLAINT where like myself the app simply stopped working and no matter what cannot get it to find starting or final destination."
"I really liked this app several years ago but NOW it is useless!! Database can't rec ven pull up my hometown, Denver CO"

DistancePinner

Main Weakness

No address search capability whatsoever - users must manually scroll to find locations on map without any text input

"This app is completely useless. Cannot search with it. You are expected to know exactly where to drop your pin."
"Why can't I search an address and then pin it from there? You're expected to know where on the map you want to pin and then drop it there, which makes no sense"
