Reviews of GHIN

Most RecentHighest RatedLowest Rated

Posting hole by hole is broken.

For the last 2 seasons I used the app as a scorecard, posting hole by hole while playing… enter hole scores 3 at a time then save, then hit post & finish round, enter the next 3 holes & repeat this process until finished. For the last couple months when I try to do this the app frequently loses the saved hole by hole scores. I have also had a number of cases where I set up an 18 hole round, complete the first 9 holes, hit post & finish round to enter back 9 holes only to have the app re-open the round as a 9 hole round with no ability to enter back 9 hole by hole. Something broke! I like the app but these 2 problems have greatly diminished its utility.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback and for bringing this issue to our attention. We have resolved the hole-by-hole issues in our latest release. Please update the GHIN app to the latest version to experience these enhancements. If you continue to have any issues, please reach out to us through the "Contact Us" page in the GHIN app or email us directly at customersupport@usga.org.

Almost works…

Had the app for a couple of years and it mostly worked fine. The app would occasionally shut down during use but upon restart you could pick up where you left off and the scores for holes you played would be retained.
In the past 6 months something has changed. When the app restarts all your scores are gone and it only shows the first 9 holes. So basically you have to record on a paper card while using the app. Kind of defeats the purpose of electronic scoring.
When I tried to get help via their email I get no response. So I can’t recommend paying for this app which is kind of a shame because when it works it has some nice features.

Apple Watch app needs work UPDATED

UPDATE: Both issues were fixed in the latest update! I changed my rating from 3 to 5 stars.

Please allow for disabling turning the grown to switch holes. My glove turns the crown, so I’m always on the wrong hole. Also, the app keeps closing, even if I set Return to Clock to 1 hour. I need to reopen the app on the phone and hope it syncs with the phone app, which is still tracking a round. Find out how the other golf GPS apps make it work.
