| 2025-01-28 |  | | i have been using the free version for about 2 years. Last year, game adds would show up when starting the app. After the adds started showing, something is using the battery at a very accelerated rate. My 100% charged Samsung S23 ultra will be completely dead by the 13 or 14 hole. The only time I have this problem is when I use the Golfshot app. I would be happy to pay for it, but I'm not sure that would stop it from killing my battery. |
| 2024-10-30 |  | | First time using it and I wasn't impressed. Shot tracking is ok but not when am trying to look at the distance to the hole from my watch. Seems like you need your phone a lot unlike smart caddie which I can see all I need on my phone. Paid for pro version. Will see if it gets better. Auto hole advance doesn't work |
| 2024-07-21 |  | | Pretty decent app. One issue. I have ot on my Galaxy 6 watch Classic and every time I look at my watch to check distance, I have to back out of the app and go back into it to get a reading. I just went into settings and noticed that the GPS was set to snooze after 5 minutes. I think that I set it to never go into snooze mode, so hopefully that will fix the issue. |
| 2024-06-12 |  | | I've used this app for 9 years and I've always been happy with using it. Lately my app has not been working properly. I've opened a case with tech support and and I've been very unhappy with the level of service. They have been absolutely no help whatsoever. The support people constantly say they don't hear from me despite my many emails to them. The support people try to close the case even though it's not resolved. I have downloaded other golf gps apps and will drop my golfshot subscription. |
| 2024-04-16 |  | | The phone app for Android is not working. Update. Golfshot did get back to me. I'm just waiting on when they plan to release the Android fix. UPDATE!!! The Android fix came out and it works well so far! There are new features such as shot tracking that works with the wearable! Also, the wearable GPS keeps accurate distances when you are away from your phone. I have never seen an OEM be so truthful and transparent about an issue with their product! Hats off to Golfshot !!! |
| 2024-02-10 |  | | The app on the phone is very good. I like the hole view. However, there are issues and with no update since November, I'm concerned they won't be fixed any time soon. First, if you start on the back nine, it assumes the round is over at 18 instead of going to 1. Second the watch app needs real work. Won't show yardages if you turn your wrist, and the app closes at random times. Bones are there. Needs some flesh. |
| 2024-01-04 |  | | I have the free version of this app and extremely happy with it. Seems to be very accurate and have never had an issue with any lag time. Live in Florida each course I've played is been on this app and very accurate. Would highly recommend it. Just a weekend hacker so don't need all the bills and whistles with the paid version and the free one does a very good job. |
| 2024-01-02 |  | | Since the recent update the watch will not display the distance automatically anymore. It only shows the distance in the beginning but if you put it into idle for some time it stops showing the distance. Only way to get it to show is to shut down the app entirely then restart it again. So now i have to do this for every shot. Please fix! Other than that it's been great and it is my go to golf tracking app. |
| 2023-07-04 |  | | So far the best app I tried but still not perfect. The app keeps closing on the watch and has to be opened again and again - it's a real pain looking at your watch for distances and having to first open the app again. Starting a round on the 10th tee doesn't automatically carry on scoring from the 1st - instead it ends the round. This was the biggest deal breaker. It should ask which is the starting hole. Not talking about shotgun starts |
| 2023-06-07 |  | | I used this app and liked it a lot. Now it doesn't work. I Uninstalled it and re installed it with no luck. The app doesn't work with my watch anymore. Very disappointed now and Uninstalling for good. I contacted customer support and we tried to fix the issue. It still doesn't work. It is very frustrating. The app doesn't deserve 1 star. |
