Radius Around Me: Map Radiusv5.9.0

Released August 2, 2026Major

Android

The latest update introduced new premium features and UI adjustments, but resulted in a 0.12 star decline in the Android average rating. While the core 150 mile radius tool remains effective for users, sentiment is currently dampened by complaints regarding subscription pricing and ad frequency. The overall impact remains neutral due to the limited volume of post-release feedback.
