This app does not work with Samsung smart watches, the primary reason I selected it. In addition, several features did not work such as automatic hole advance, swing count and shot tracking distance. Perhaps a connection to another device is required for this functionality but since it doesn't work with my watch, which was not disclosed anywhere in their descriptive information, I can't attest to that.

The X button that closes ads is too small to be functional, it forced me to click on ads and thats the last thing I want 3 holes into a round. The free version is unusable. why should I pay you for a subscription to fix YOUR problem with the app? Just fix your app so the ads actually close. Good luck converting people to subscriptions if they can't even use the app.

I really love this app compared to every other golf mapping/stats app out there. The gps is more accurate and faster than 18 birdies and taylormade app. As i have used the app for the entire year, it would be nice if there were more ways to sort your stats (by year, golf course, etc) more than just your last 5 and 20 rounds. Also the strokes gained stat would be a nice feature to add for the advanced rounds, in its current state, there's no real need to ever do an advanced round

This app is nice because it give GPS data on your watch. If you want to use this app for shot-by-shot tracking, this app not recommend. To track your shots, you'll need to take your phone out of your pocket for every shot. You cannot track shots through your watch. This is a major disappointment! Also, this app is every slow in saving your shot to the app. This slows down game play and takes your focus off your round, because you need to spend so much time interacting and waiting on the app.

Enjoyed the free features, even got the smartwatch (android). Since then, took advantage of the deal to upgrade to the premium. Have never seen any of the premium features on the watch, can't even keep score on the watch. I've asked for help, to no avail. Works good, basically, if you carry your phone. But can't get the watch to work.

The scoring and GPS features are extremely useful. I love using this app while playing. The only downside was the "shot by shot" feature. It is a really cool concept and if used correctly can be really useful, but it was a little confusing and too distracting during the round for me and takes too long to input each shot during each hole. I definitely recommend this app over other golf apps.

Inputting scores is a horrible experience. I signed up for the trial and the watch app gave no options to enter strokes. Being able to use my watch was my primary use case. So, I used my phone. First, needing to take my phone out for every hit was a distraction and a pain. First unlock, then there was the prompt asking if I wanted to switch to GPS only mode (every single time). Keeping track of putts kept switching to a club recommendation despite standing on the green. The app lasted 5 holes.

Downloaded and tried the app hoping to use it with my watch. In principle ut has everything you need but the user interface just doesn't make sense. It has no proper flow or navigation. It's not clearly labelled at all and it takes way too much time trying to figure out how to change holes, capture scores and move on to the next hole. Sorry - maybe my expectations are too high but other golf apps works much better. Would be happy to provide feedback if you tell me where.

I like the app,but it quit finding courses so I had to unistalll then reinstall. Lost my last 4 rounds history. Still has my first round and even updates to my profile-just not the rounds. Very disappointing. Update. App will not stop after saving round. Keeps saying round in progress. Very buggy compared to when i first used it. Edit 9/8 now there is a totally obnoxious ad interrupting every screen movement. I could live with ads but this is ridiculous. If it continues I will be installing.

Enjoyed using the free app until the latest update. Yardages in the large numbers no longer change as you move about the fairway. You have to physically touch a little circle on the screen to get the current yardage. Very frustrating for players with difficulty reading small print. Update 7/6: thanks for fixing the bug. Works good again. Just downloaded the latest update, so will see if that causes any issues.

Got this for use mainly on my OS watch. Keeps losing the distances on the watch and then I have to go back open the app on my phone, which will allow to watch the work for a couple of holes and then it locks up again. Also tracking does not work well on the watch. Lastly, a complaint I've seen in other reviews. The distances on the watch keeps reverting to the GPS on the phone, which is useless when you have your phone in the cart and have to walk to your ball.

Started out working great! But... Lately, everytime I look at my watch for distance (Samsung Galaxy Watch4) the app asks me to start a round on the phone. It didn't used to do that. It got to too frustrating, so had to switch apps. Would love to see a fix for this. (I'm using the free version so maybe that's my issue. However I don't see that stipulation anywhere in the discription). Would like to give a 5 if this is resolved. Yep. Thanks so much for the help. Reinstalling did the trick.

I downloaded this app and did the free trial for the shot-by-shot mode. In principle, it's perfect. But it has issues. For some reason it would automatically record two puts when I hit the button, no option to change or input anything. Then when I would try to edit it, the app would crash. The app will also just randomly crash for no reason too. Very frustrating to use because of that. If that stuff was fixed, I would easily pay for this app. The data and insights you get are awesome.

So so. 2.5 stars. Can be difficult to find your way around the app at first. The free version is pretty good. Minimal intrusion from the ads, which in and of itself is worth recommending the app. I was thinking about the premium version, but based upon few comments here, and that fact that it's $50 A YEAR, there's no way. That amount of money on a yearly basis for a premium upgrade that is spotty is ridiculous. It's rediculous even if the premium upgrade works flawlessly.

I've used this app for about 3 years now and I wasn't having any issues till this year. The issues are, it's not locating my position so it can't find the course that I'm playing to download even though I've played on them before and everytime I try to type it in it just tells me that there was an error but it doesn't say what the error is. App works great when it's working but lately it hasn't been. I've uninstalled the app a couple of times and redownload it again it does the same thing.🤷♂️

Wow. GPS, great statistical information. For Free! Better than the stand alone GPS I had before. Love the statistical analysis. Statistics are gone. Lower rating. I upgraded to Premium since my original post. Premium not only restored the statistics from before, but the shot tracking provides true on course yardage by club which gives me more confidence in club selection. Very satisfied with my decision to upgrade.

Pretty good app. Pro's: Accurate distances, good stat tracking, easy to score holes. Con's: Premium version (doesn't auto switch to next hole, maps still very poor quality), course explorer could be greatly improved (can not touch for yardage unless you begin the round). Overall, probably wouldn't use this app if it wasn't the only golf app available for Wear OS.

good app with distances. club/shot tracking needs work. while trying to edit shots off the course the gps is pretty glitchy and can register a shot 500 yards away. as much as i like to think i can hit a 7 iron 500 yards i would rather have accurate distances. if your always perfect and hit the button when you approach your ball every time then its great, but i missed one shot, tried to add it from the clubhouse, it regestered 500 yards and i had to manually input every shot into a new "round".

I use to love it. Totally reliable. But now, Everytime I get any notification, my watch freezes and I have to reboot. I tried uninstalling/installing the app, but nothing seems to fix the problem. 8.27.23. Update. After the latest update, everything started working according to plan. I'm absolutely loving this app again. Thanks so much for fixing.

Love this app. I'm now using it on a Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 and it works great. The distance updates in an acceptable time and an 18 hole round uses 10-15% battery. There are a few minor changes I'd like (1) ability to switch between watch & phone GPS without starting a round (2) ability to check current score, maybe an option in the settings menu (3) ability to delete courses I've downloaded. The course I play the most is usually the one that gets removed when more space is needed.
