Latest reviews of Dixtance app for iPhone and iPad
Works as stated. Nice design too.
A really nice app that is easy to use and works. Since it runs in the background with iOS4, I can use a iPhone camera app other than the standard camera and later geotag photos on the PC. The GPX files/tracks the app creates work with GeoSetter(photo geotagging program) and they load in Google Earth fine. It doesnt store waypoints, except for the begining and ending points and all the other points it stores are standard GPX track points. The program can transfer the track to the iPhone Maps application for directions. The app works so well at what it does that the developer probably doesnt need to add anything too it. :)
It is simple. And it is just 0.99$. It has all necessary features like time, speed, map tracking. But it has a big error. When I save my tracking information, it saves time twice as long as it tracked. For example, it displays 2m 57s, but it saves 5m 4s. It is critical error.
Great app does what it says
It shows an elapsed time that is double the actual time. Hopefully this is an easy fix until then I will just have to divide by two.
