"Planimeter - GPS Area Measure" - popular Android app for measurements on maps is now available for iOS.

We have had many requests from users about developing iOS version of our popular map measurement app - “Planimeter - GPS area measure”. The app has been available on Android platform for some time  and received very positive feedback.

We are proud to announce that the first version of "Planimeter - GPS area measure" has been released and available on the App Store.

This version of the app is not exact copy of the Android tool in terms of functionality. Android version of Planimeter has evolved over time (with kind help, feedback  and suggestions from the app users) from a simple tool for manual distance estimation on Google Maps to the tool with many handy features used by professionals on a daily basis.  The first iOS version of the app uses Apple Maps and already offers plenty of features for comfortable and productive work:
