This seems to be totally useless on a Chromebook. None of the buttons are active, and there are no instructions on how to use it. I might as well just stick with Google Maps on my Android phone. I can measure distances with it.

No automatic acre calculation and no way to remove or cut out areas. Also not very intuitive to use but is easy once you figure it out.

Requires a login to some third party site and attempts to install other apps. Also has some pretty bizarre info-gathering requirements. Privacy nightmare.

Good but still needs a lot of work. I was looking for an app like this to measure area and distances in any photo given a linear reference. This is the closest app that I've found. I believe there is a lot of potential in something like this.
