| 2025-01-02 |  | | Was great until the most recent update. Mostly works, however, Can't open a lot of older scorecards on the app, yet they work on the Web page. I play regularly with a friend and had all of his scores as well, during the last update it lost all that data and renamed him as just "player", there's about 5 different versions of it with multiple scores all over the place. Slow, laggy and tapping map to find distances is a mission in itself, the distance pointer is never where I tap. Hopefully fix |
| 2024-12-26 |  | | The app is great, but the GPS is slightly inaccurate at times (a two foot putt can be recorded as a 15-footer, etc.). Some of the features can actually slow play (slow tag response time, marking the flag, etc.). I love the app...and have seen at least a dozen of my friends and playing partners download it on my recommendation. I hope that these little inconveniences can be improved. |
| 2024-12-05 |  | | Best by far! I started with the free version and quickly moved to the premium. This is my 3rd year using the premium service. I'm able to enter all my shorts through my smartwatch or phone but use the watch 99% of the time. Also, one of the only ones out there that works for Android and iPhones. Unlike the other "18" apps.... Gives me a club option and plays like a well as front/middle/back yards. |
| 2024-11-23 |  | | TERRIBLE update! Used to love app. Now can't even use it cuz standing on the teebox struggling w/ the app is annoying the sht out of my golf buddies ☹️ -can no longer exit/minimize from the splash screen -difficulty swiping up to reopen from lock screen -app keeps coming unpinned -keep getting error message to configure smart lock, even after just configured -dots at top of QuickScore screen no longer work. used to tap them to jump between holes, now must scroll thru every hole -Cuts&Snips is g |
| 2024-11-20 |  | | Unfortunately, courses do not come up at all now. I had trouble 11/18 (before I updated app), but eventually got the course up. Then had trouble again 11/19, so I checked for updates and sw there was one, so I updated. Still cannot get any courses to come up - on its own or by searching and we live adjacent to courses and neither show. I only get an error message that tells me to tap ro retry. Yes, location services are on for this app. |
| 2024-11-18 |  | | I used to love golf pad. Its yardages were accurate. It's plays like yardages were spot on and it's a recommended club fit me exactly. Since the most recent update, however, the basic yardages are off, plays like yardages are way off and the recommended club is not even close. The recommended club for the same plays like yardage is completely different than it used to be. Today it wouldn't save the round. It just kept stopping and restarting and I could only discard the round. I'll need a new ap |
| 2024-11-18 |  | | New update is horrific! I cannot see anything while playing. Everything is too big and scrunched so you can't read it; shot tracking, recommended club etc. Entering players to a game is no longer alphabetical so it takes a long time to find my regulars. I wish I could go backwards to b4 version 20.0.39. V 20.0.50 has fixed the above except for my golfing buddies still not alphabetical. |
| 2024-11-17 |  | | Edit: update 11/2024. The team has implemented some good features. Flyover option being back is wonderful. The team is very quick and responsive to their members' inquiries. It's still the only app I'll use. Would like to see measurements start at the selected tee box instead of the tips only when using the app at home to preplan rounds. |
| 2024-11-09 |  | | I absolutely love this app EXCEPT they removed an awesome feature. While playing a hole, if you forgot to track your tee shot, you could add it before your second shot. I emailed help support and got an unusual response. It said we emailed you an answer and did you get it. That was odd, there was not an answer but if I was ready to bang my head against a wall , I could repeat the question. Again, I love this app and I am a multiple year user. Just want the tee shot add feature back. |
| 2024-11-08 |  | | Revised review: The 10-21-2024 update created many new issues, so I left a 1 star review. I then emailed the support staff of the app. Since then, I have communicated back and forth daily with them. They respond within hours and are correcting issues daily. I am very impressed with their openness to correct new problems and improve the app. Their responsiveness and resolution of issues has now earned them a 5 star rating. Keep it up! Thanks for listening and responding to a diehard customer! |
