Bushnell Golf Mobile

App is Awful. Round setup, statistics tracking, etc., is annoying. Really wish there was a way to turn off all the round setup and statistic garbage somewhere in the app. Just provide a 'play golf' option without all the setup junk. The new app also ruined the music playback function, the music volume drops and never comes back up. Makes the music virtually impossible to hear. Also used to never have issue with yardages, now it never stops jumping around. Def ruined a great thing.

I use to love the Bushnell legacy app. The legacy app stopped working so had to download this one. This one is terrible. Can't play music and hear yardage at the same time. Music has to be a minimum that way when you push the button to hear yardage, it's not screaming at you. If you up the volume of your music, than press the yardage button, the voice is beyond loud. Both need to be synced properly. If this new app was out when I first got my Wingman, I would have returned it to the store.

I have owned the Wingman for almost a year, stared out great, distance, fly overs, auto advance and music. As of today, just music as the golf portion of the Wingman is not worth even trying, doesn't auto advance and crashes every hole or so with a different error message that I report. I have location all the time and still no fix. Thank you for a great speaker and thank you for fixing the app soon! - Android user

The app when used with the wingman is wanky. Started out ok but when playing music the volume of the music goes up when pressing the button to get yardsges. Making hearing yardage nearly unintelligible. Annoying that when your in the score pages you can't get yardages on the wingman. Have only had the app and wingman for 1 round. Hope to find solutions to fix. Separately on the wingman, the remote device/fob doesn't work from more than a few feet away. It should also have volume control.

I've had this about a year and its brutally bad. I can't even get the app to recognize my phone. Keep getting 400 bad request error message, can't get emails from the account set up, app just is bad. Great when it works but I think it's been successful 2 out of 20 rounds. I just use the speaker for music. I try every now and again to uninstall/install the app but it fails alot. Could be user error too but doesn't take much to download and install an app on a phone.

Originally rated this app a 1 star but recieved a message from Bushnell and they addressed my issues, helping me fix the problem. My wingman with this app works amazing. My only issue now is... if you close the app and reopen it mid round it doesn't save your settings. Specifically, the sleep setting. I had to close the app twice during my round and both times the settings reset and the wingman went into sleep mode. Sleep mode should be off by default in my opinion not on by default.

Setup went fine until I tried to get the yardage for the hole I was on by pushing the wingman button. When the wingman began to speak, it spoke SO FAST that you couldn't even understand what it was saying. It was like the audio was sped up 20 times the normal speaking rate. I thought the unit was defective so I returned it and bought a new one, and have the exact same issue. Oddly enough, when paired to my wife's iphone, it works fine. Please fix this android issue!!!

Bought last April setup worked fine. This year, the Buschnell golf app doesn't recognize my email, which is a Gmail. I can't reset it because it states that email already exists. If I change email to make new account. I can't because the phone# is already connected to the account. The App states nort signed up, but I have an account that can't be updated?? How are you supposed to fix this issue? It's a circle jerk. Customer service is unavailable and hangs up before asking for call back #.

New app won't get past register because it doesn't recognize it as paired. I can still play music, but the hole overview, which I loved when playing an unfamiliar course, and GPS won't open. Basically this app is worthless. Update: Still won't register the wingman, but I backed all the way out and started over as a different device, I believe I used the legacy device, named it GPS. It then brought up the course GPS. It works now, just not under Wingman. So I'll give it a better rating.

Apparently, many people who received this as a gift was extremely disappointed this Christmas. The app issues seem like the beginning of a bad relationship with this product. Couldn't get past registration. App would not send me the code needed to complete the setup. Was really excited but extremely disappointed. Instant return. A product that's been out for this long should work with ZERO issues. READ THE OTHER REVIEWS, STAY FAR AWAY. NOT WORTH THE HEADACHE.

I can only speak for my course, but the mapping is accurate, and I love this app. It works well, and it is a very useful tool. The scorecard works well. Update: I wish this app. tracked club distance. It seems like all the tools are there to do it, but unless I am missing something; there's no way to track club distances to get your average for each different club.

The app now is just bad. If your phone screen times out and you bring it back up, you basically have to restart the app... go back through and choose the course, tees, everything again. It stops sometimes on its own and the screen info just goes away?? This app is just not good. It doesn't give slope either. I just use the speaker now and a good range finder.

The phone and wingman have been exceptional products.......being able to transfer this data to my Galaxy watch would be next level though!!! Especially in cart path only situations where I have to walk to my ball......being able to look at my watch for the data would complete the cycle! Just a suggestion for something to upgrade the product! Otherwise, it is pretty freakin awesome!!!

I've had the app for about 4 rounds now, and the GPS distances are spot on. The one problem I am having is with the audio!!! When the speaker is announcing the distances, it's like I'm listening to Alvin and the Chipmunks. It gets really squeaky and super fast. I wondered if it was just mine, so I had my brother sync to it, and it worked just fine. He has the same thing, so I tried syncing to his and Alvin and the Chipmunks again. My brother uses an iPhone, and I have Android. Help please!!!

I have purchased 2 bushnell wingman views. The first I had to send back do to a few problems. The second one sounds great but the app will not open on my phone. So I can't use the wingman view properly. It says device not recognized: error 53. I have emailed and called bushnell and I have never gotten a response. Too bad. I have froends that use these and This seems to be an awesome device when it works. But if the app won't open its nothing more than an expensive speaker.

I upgraded from the lacking legacy app in 2023. Unfortunately, I have found this version of the app to be almost unusable in real time, as the GPS doesn't sync unless I pull out my phone (rendering the remote pointless) and putting my score in requires me to change the hole 1-3 times before I can put it on the right hole. Lots of potential, but the bugs needs to be fixed, not made worse, as they seem to be now. Also missing Disney Magnolia course somehow.

I like the display. It uses a graphical rendition of each hole so it is easy to see. Some apps use a satellite image which I have trouble seeing when outside in the sunlight. However, it seems to have some trouble getting a GPS lock, as when I'm standing over a shot, the distance shown keeps changing. Also, it thinks I hit my driver 225 yards (not at my age). Really annoying when it thinks I can drive the green a dog-leg par 4 that crosses a stream!
