The App DNA
What makes this app unique?
Users hire the app to estimate proximity for real estate, marathon, and outdoor planning, replacing manual map estimation with digital radius overlays.
For Real estate hunters, marathon runners, and individuals requiring proximity measurement tools for location planning.
Key features
Calculates precise distance from a user-specified map coordinate to surrounding points of interest.
Allows users to add pins via long-press or button tap, with support for custom colors and system-wide dark mode.
Automatically toggles between meters and miles based on device regional settings.
Rebuilt backend architecture using SwiftData for faster data processing and feature implementation.
How much does it cost?
The application is currently distributed as a free tool with no observable IAP or subscription gates.

The app has not received a release in the last 10 months, placing it firmly in the zombie category based on the lack of activity since the July 2025 update. The latest release was a significant overhaul, but the complete absence of subsequent updates suggests development has ceased or the app has entered a long-term maintenance state. There is no evidence of ongoing live operations or feature iteration.

What do users think recently?
The recent review mood reads upset. Users appreciate simple radius visualization helps users estimate distances for location-based games and outdoor activities and multiple profile storage allows users to save and manage different location sets effectively, but report post-update navigation and input controls are broken, preventing users from setting radius values.

Competitive landscape for Radius Map
How's the Productivity market?
Radius Map holds the #31 Free position in its category, but the lack of monetization and recent technical regressions limit its ability to scale against better-funded utility tools.

Key takeaways for Radius Map
Where is it heading?
The utility market is consolidating around stable, multi-platform tools, leaving Radius Map exposed due to its recent technical regressions. If the team does not restore basic input functionality in the next release, the app will lose its remaining active user base to more reliable competitors.
- Broken input controls in the latest release prevent data saving, which directly causes the current rating decline.
- Forced metric units in the latest build alienate US/UK users, creating a persistent source of negative sentiment.
The SWOT
- SwiftData backend enables faster feature implementation
- Simple radius visualization sustains high-frequency utility
- Implement unit-toggle settings to capture imperial-region users
- Add wearable integration to compete with Park with Me

Since the last report: The app transitioned from a stable utility to a declining state due to critical post-update regressions that broke data persistence and location services.
Bottom line
Radius Map provides essential proximity utility, but broken input logic and forced metric units currently render the app unusable for many, so the PM must prioritize restoring data persistence to stop the churn.
