Leave a Review Golf Pad GPS Rangefinder
Great App -How do we request course updates?
I love using this app - the resolution of the flyovers is so good - you can spot any hazard. The course I regularly play on has had a lot of work done and 1 or 2 of the holes have changed. How do I get these changes into the app? Also the course looked like a building site when you grabbed the photographs of the holes, can this be re-done too? Overall, great app and great integration with Apple Watch.Show lessSteve_J_UK
Overall I really like the app
I have been using this app for several years now. First I just used free version to keep score and tell me distance to the hole. About a year ago I upgraded to be able to use all the functions and see my statistics. Recently I bought the tags to track my shot distances. There was one course we play frequently that was not available on the app. Last night I decided to see what I had to do to get it added. Turns out it was really simple. They have a tool where you can map the course on google maps and submit it. Took maybe 15 minutes to do. When I got up today I had an email reply that the course was added. I opened the app and there it was. I was very impressed with the quick turnaround.Show lessPapa DL
The price is right
I purchased a rangefinder and was not at all satisfied. I happened to be golfing recently and we were paired with a guy who showed me a rangefinder app on his phone.......and said it was FREE!!
When I got home I immediately downloaded Golf Pad. I tried using it the next time I played and was very satisfied. I had a few questions and Customer Support provided very timely answers. My questions were also answered very appropriately by Valentina so I didn’t have to ask them over and over.
The app performs many many functions but, at this point, I only want to know how far I am from the green. The app handles this preference admirably.
Needless to say......I quickly returned the other rangefinder and got my money back. Golf Pad is free and is much easier to operate. Well worth the 30 seconds to download!!Show lessBill Marvin
Lovely app - needs work
Firstly I believe this is the best tracking app on the market and for £20 a year it’s nothing compared to £30-75 for a round of golf for 4 hours..
I do think the Apple Watch compatibility is good. However, it doesn’t allow you to start and end rounds on your watch it just mimics what’s one the app screen, if there was more options on the watch it would be better.
Overall great app, can’t wait for updatesShow lessgeorgethengorge
Awesome and a few changes
This app is amazing for golf way better than Golf Logix. The two things they need to work on is track shot and have the fringe as an option and also when you edit the yardage on a certain tee it changes the yardage for all the tees.
By the way their customer service is the best ever. Cindy at golf pad is the lady to talk to. I was supposed to get the tags for my birthday and the tags were on back order so she sent a new box on overnight the day before my birthday and said I could keep the extra set free of charge. Amazing right!
Keep up the good work Golf Pad.Show lessThink010
Good but will not close and kills battery
Generally the app is ok. When you end a round it continues to stay open and active on every version of the Apple Watch I have owned. You must manually turn off your watch and restart it to close and end this app. It is a pain that has been told to them multiple times and they will not fix it. Updates do not fix it for the past 2 years. Company gets the money and refuses to find a way to close their app. I have given up trying to use this support. This is the only review for an app I have ever done, so you can tell how utterly frustrating this app has remained. If there was a half way comparable app I would pay double for it and delete this app forever.Show lesscastyles011
Great App
As a beginner to golf, this has helped a lot with score tracking, shot selection and club distance history. As soon as I started using it I’ve reduced my game on average by 7 shots for every 9 holes.nnnnnnniko
Great App, tags on iPhone not so much.
Updating my review as I have the tags now. The app works great on Apple Watch without using tags, but using their tags causes the app to crash on the iPhone. It’s done this for months now. If you don’t want to use tags and an iPhone you’re ok.
This app is easy on the iPhone and Apple Watch battery (read their FAQs), accurate, helpful on the course and simply works. I tried the app alone and it worked well. Yardages were spot on and updated quickly. The setup for registering each club swing on the phone is well thought out. Since I have an Apple Watch, I tried their premium trial today. Watch app worked great (turned off watch’s heart monitor as it eats battery) and had 77% battery left after 18. The plays like distance takes into account elevation and weather, including wind, somehow and saved me on a par 4. We had some wind and the app was telling to hit about two clubs less off the tee. I followed the app’s advice, normally would have hit a club less. If I had hit one club less I would have been in trouble. Later I logged into web site to see uploaded round. Love the stats and I think I will be purchasing their club tags soon just to make registering club swings a little more convenient to pinpoint club distances and tendencies. Prior to the trial I emailed a few questions to the company and received quick and helpful responses. Nothing but a great app with good support.Show lessCboss34
Awesome
I got the tags for some friends and myself. 1 game in, and I love it. Tons of stats to see where I’m doing well and failing. I am eager to see improvements as I focus in on the weaknesses. Fourth year playing and getting a swing developed that works, but needs consistency.
I did have to play with the brightness setting on iPhone, as the battery saver was too aggressive at times making it difficult to see the screen in sunlight.
Excited to get more rounds in for the data. I especially enjoyed screen shot of a birdie sent to friends that didn’t join us, and doing flyovers with friends the next day at work.Show lessJeffelburn
Great Golf App
This app is so easy to use during your round. I don’t like messing with electronics while playing but found this to be so quick and simple that it’s not distracting to my game. The amount of data it provides is amazing. It’s so interesting that I usually spend an hour or more after I play just looking over my statistics for the current game and the averages for all games. The best aspect I like though is that it clearly shows what part of my game I need to work on. Challenges me to do better each time I play.Show lessCherimark
