An editorial reading of the saved reviews

Footpath is loved for exactly what people get it for, drawing a route with your finger and instantly seeing the mileage, perfect for runners prepping for a distance in an unfamiliar city, and the iPad drawing is called excellent. It breaks on reliability, after updates it gets stuck on the splash screen, freezes and loses drawn routes, and navigation and offline maps are locked behind the paid version.

What people use it for

Runners and cyclists who need to draw a route for a target distance and see the mileage

What reviews praise

Finger-drawing a route with instant mileage, planning runs for a specific distance, excellent drawing on iPad, simple and clear planner

What reviews complain about

Stuck on splash screen after updates and won't launch, freezes and loses drawn routes, navigation and offline maps paid only, route doesn't sync between watch and iPhone, support doesn't reply

What users experience

2 excerpts from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.

The map doesn’t follow a natural curved path. It snaps in a straight line so it’s hard to get an accurate distance
The drawing function - on an iPad - is excellent, and the app is really well designed
