I had high hopes for the app and overall I would say it’s “good,” but lacking in easy areas. This review is after only 1 round so keep that in mind.
What is needed, and somehow lacking, is a simple “add shot” button!!!! I like the “+” it gives you when it thinks you hit a given shot (I don’t have an Apple watch), BUT ONCE YOU SAY NO to that suggested shot, it’s gone and can not be added again. WHAT?? I found this extremely frustrating time and again. So my suggestion is, never say no, just say yes to the suggested shot areas and move the shot to the spot you hit it from.
But developer team, come on!! So simple, so needed, would make user experience so much better. Maybe a simple long hold adds the “ + “ and you can edit from there.
A couple other areas I found to be buggy. Twice it had me for 1 more stroke than I scored and it refused to let me take it off? When I tried to use the rolling score feature to roll down to lesser #, it told me I had too many strokes GPS-ed ….. so then I went back to where it showed all my shots and it wouldn’t allow me to take it out?
