* Common user mistakes:-Do not try to test the application by pacing around in the same small area.-Please note that satellite GPS uses a lot of battery power.-Satellite based GPS location does not work well indoors or near large structures. Many apps use network based location because it does work indoors, but it is not accurate enough for use with this app. If the location icon is not solid in your status bar, that means your PHONE can't acquire a satellite GPS fix in that area.
Features:-accurate to within 1 percent when compared to most car odometers under normal driving conditions.-includes a timer-includes pause/resume for each trip-each trip can be started and stopped independently and multiple trips can be running at the same time-includes a lock to help prevent accidental reset/stop/start of your trip. After unlocked, it locks back in a few seconds, or you can lock it yourself.-includes displacement readout (straight line distance from your starting point)-approximates distance travelled in some GPS dead spots such as driving through a tunnel by adding the as-a-bird flies distance to your trip.-resumes tracking after restart (You must enable this feature in settings)-2 widgets available: Simple (3 x 1) and Detail (4 x 2)-supports landscape mode
Options:-choose between average or current speed-receive notifications at given distance intervals-custom calculator. Uses include taxi fare and calories burned while exercising. Each trip can have a different custom calculator.-receive a notification to turn off after no movement for some time (the 2 minute option is only recommended for testing)-keep screen awake-lock screen orientation-2 themes: light and dark (note that light does not work well on older devices)-3 coordinate options: decimal, DMS, DM-specify widget update interval
distance units include: kilometers miles nautical miles meters feet yards
speed units include: kilometres per hour miles per hour nautical miles per hour meters per second feet per second
What this application does NOT do:1) Does not record your route. Each trip has a start location (to calculate displacement), a last location, and a next-to-last location. No record of where you go is saved other than that. Only distance and time.2) No location information ever leaves your device in satellite only GPS mode.3) No maps. Only distance.4) Will not well if your trip is limited to a small area. For example, driving in tight circles or gardening on a normal size residential property.
Other notes:Move to Sd card is disabled because widgets will not work if the application is installed on the Sd card. The application is small, so please understand.
Please let us know if you discover a bug.

The app functions just fine and it's easy to use. When you're done with app and return to home screen or wipe it away from recent, it still is on and drains battery terribly.
Does what it says. Nice lock feature prevents accidental taps on screen. Shows distance traveled as well as your displacement from the starting point.
Nice app when you're using it, but 99% of the time I'm not wanting to measure distance. Even with GPS turned off and the app "off" it's still the biggest power consumer on my phone. Had to uninstall it.
totally unreliable. checked it a few times aling the exact same route and the differences were crazy. kilometers apart.
Until recently, the app worked great still does but i don't know why, it gives me notification every few seconds showing the distance i travelled, how do i stop it from doing that
Works fine, but it has no map. Most applications of this kind allow you to see your trip on a map. To people who complain about battery drain: you must stop the trip, not just exit application, when you're finished using it.
Good handy app especially for runners practicing for marathon etc. Also for people participating in triathlon or any sport activities without incurring addition expenditure.
Used it on a windows phone and was as accurate as vehicule's information. I will use it on android and see how it goes.
This is the best Odometer app in the market! Very accurate and awesome widgets and features. If they add the ability to manually override the Odometer value this app would be perfect.
Can't see a way to stop adds. Removed
Can you add screen on/off feature? This mean that screen will off when device not move in a specific time and auto turn on when device is moved.
Does what it says. Love the fact that it runs in background and accurate. On LG G3 battery life is great.
This app works awesome. Recommend this highly!
It drains my battery to fast & there are too many ads.
Fitness is challenging enough! I want a basic accurate pedometer and this app delivers!
It just help me to run my last rallyes !!
Kept running when not moving
I think it great , it's a great bit kit well done and works well
It is very helpful in my walking. I love it.
Stopped when I selected help.
Absolutely bulletproof, works every time!
Does just what it is supposed to do.
Used this for some time - seems to work okay.
Simple and precise.
Works well and appears to be accurate. Unfortunately it does not provide a way to transfer data to another device as far as I can tell. Also, if the trip is not manually stopped the battery of your device will be drained quickly.
