### 3/5 — Decent App but used to work better

*2026-08-23, version 3.0.6*

This has never been a feature rich app but it did accurately tell you current distance to green front, center and back and keep score for you.  They have recently add some features to catch them up to literally every other major app because they were behind in features and to pay for it they now want charge a monthly charge.  Now the app hardly ever changes holes automatically based on your position like it used to to.  Now you mostly have to manually change the hole to the next.  I liked the old way better.  It’s an incredibly mediocre app.  Not to say it is a bad app just very vanilla and not as easy to use as it used to be.

### 3/5 — App is bugging today

*2026-08-15, version 3.0.6*

I usually have no complaints. But today I am using the app and can’t click on the screen to move the white circle for distances. My phone is also working fine

### 4/5 — Latest update bugs

*2026-07-20, version 3.0.6*

Up until the most recent update they had a solid app.  Worked all golf season syncing/tracking scores using both the ion watch and the speaker… it connects and shows both devices connected but won’t share the scores I’m entering from my ion watch.  Very frustrating

### 3/5 — Latest update is trash

*2026-07-19, version 3.0.6*

I have loved this app for years, but the recent updates have ruined it.

### 2/5 — Nouvelle version décevante

*2026-07-13*

J’utilisais cette application gratuite, simple et efficace depuis plusieurs années. Malheureusement, la nouvelle mise à jour l’a rendue complexe et peu pratique. Il faut d’abord passer par la proposition d’achat qui prend un certain temps à chaque ouverture. Puis la présentation est beaucoup moins lisible et trop complexe pour l’utiliser sur le parcours. Très décevant
Il manque également des golfs dans la base de données tels que Ozoir ou château de Rochefort

### 2/5 — Was great

*2026-06-16, version 3.0.5*

When I bought the speaker, it was awesome as I was forced to update the speaker due to issues now I can’t see the front center or back pin. And is now causing me issues to locate golf courses I’ve already played on.

### 2/5 — Great concept, horrible execution

*2026-06-12, version 3.0.5*

I am paying for the premium app and bought the wingman view and neither has been consistently functioning. I pay $100 a year for the apps features and it’s disappointing when you can’t even sign in to your own premium account.

### 4/5 — Link to GHIN

*2026-06-10, version 3.0.5*

This is a good golf app. Would rate higher if it linked to GHIN.

### 1/5 — アプリとPRO XMが接続できない

*2026-06-09*

アプリとBluetooth接続時にどうやら先にiPhone 本体と接続されてしまってアプリ側ではエラーが出る
接続解除して何度も再チャレンジしてもダメ
数字を入れるところまではいくが、入力後にエラーが出る
何とか改善してほしい

### 3/5 — Teures Produkt, wenig Qualität

*2026-06-07*

Traurig das es so eine Firma nicht schafft ihre Software vernünftig zu pflegen. Trotz Einstellungen werden Entfernungen in Meilen statt Kilometer angezeigt. Texte manchmal in Englisch statt Deutsch. Button über Support funktioniert nicht, man landet immer auf der d  as laschen Webseite und manchmal auch im Store. Wahrscheinlich um das nächste teure Produkt zu kaufen.

### 3/5 — Meter not shown

*2026-06-02*

Overall a great app but since a few updates ago it doesn’t show the meter distance, even though it’s on meter in the settings. That’s very annoying! Please change it back! 

Use the Bushnell phantom and that’s perfect.

### 1/5 — Update is pure trash & doesn’t work correctly

*2026-06-02, version 3.0.3*

ADVISE USERS HOW TO BACK OUT THIS UPDATE & GO BACK TO PRIOR VERSION!! IT’S ABSOLUTELY AWFUL & TOTALLY UNUSABLE!! Doesn’t track holes properly, advances ahead to incorrect hole (1 or 2 ahead) & if you mistakenly enter a score there’s no way to clear it (X out) & go back to proper hole unless you have 5+ mins to screw around trying to fix scorecard. Every time you try to do anything the App spins & takes MINS vs secs to complete what you’re doing. Have no clue what App is connecting to nor why. When you get to 10th hole you’re unable to go back & view scorecard for holes 1-9 much less correct any scores…seriously??!! When entering score screen has THE WORST use of landscape I’ve ever seen on any App. HUGE boxes that force you to scroll around rather than enter a #… seriously??!! What the hell were these developers thinking? Clearly, they don’t play golf. App is totally unusable so there goes another device I bought that’s now totally useless because they ruined the App you’re forced to use with it 🤬

### 2/5 — Not Pleased

*2026-05-31, version 3.0.2*

I like last year’s App, but the new changes wants the paid upgrades.

### 1/5 — My Bag

*2026-05-25, version 3.0.2*

Having the My Bag feature tied to Foresight is tragic. Why cannot I create my own bag inside the bushnell app and manually input my distances that I have taken hours at a range to sort out? No instead I have to download a secondary app and create my bag there and the link the accounts. Surely I can then manually add my distances then, nope somehow I have to find a local range or shop that has foresight launch monitors or go BUY one and redo all the hard work I have already established over the many hours already spent at the range!

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-05-24, version 3.0.2*

Cannot connect through Bluetooth, so I have no idea if the Wingman mini works on the course…

### 1/5 — 買って失敗

*2026-05-22*

アプリというよりデバイス自体が使いづらい。買わなきゃ良かった

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-05-14, version 3.0.2*

This update is pure trash. Make the previous app available again.

### 2/5 — Read my putt feature

*2026-05-13, version 3.0.2*

I like the app, but the new paid features aren’t worth it. It takes a long time for the app to “read” the putt and since I have to place the pin location and my ball, it’s accurate enough for it to be worth the time or delay on the green. If the gps knew where I was on the green, then maybe it would be ok. And it s been kicking me out of the read my putt so I’m constantly reloading the info. As is, too much of a pain.

### 1/5 — App can not be paired with Wingman HD

*2026-05-09, version 3.0.2*

I can’t type pairing code in the app while Wingman HD is displaying the pairing code. Purchased but can’t connect. Regretting purchasing Wingman HD speaker

### 4/5 — New Update Doesn’t Work

*2026-05-08, version 3.0.2*

I just used the updated app for the first time today. What a disaster. I can’t keep it on the same hole I’m playing and it won’t update the yardage unless you switch holes back and forth on your phone. Not to mention the nonstop effort to sell me something. Used to be such a great app - I would suggest the developers go back to that.

Update (5/26) - fortunately the updates to the app since my review have mainly solved a lot of the issues that I had. The Wingman and app are working much better now.

### 1/5 — App issues

*2026-08-04, version 3.0.6*

Won’t connect, error 147. Wingman HD keeps freezing up. Having all kind of issues with this app and product.

### 1/5 — Problems ever since new app version this year

*2026-07-27, version 3.0.6*

Ever since Bushnell updated this app I’ve had nothing but problems. Hasn’t been a round at my course in which I didn’t have to manually change to another hole as the mapping is horrible. It waiter stays on the precious hole or jumps to the next  even when nowhere near those holes.  Attempts to get this corrected by sending emails with the problem holes have not been addressed. Reinstalling the app has not worked either. Very disappointing.

### 1/5 — Only updates Wingman HD when app is Active (Foreground)

*2026-07-23, version 3.0.6*

Wingman HD will NOT  update yardage distances when location settings are set to “While Using the App” and iPhone screen is off. You need to have app location settings to “Always” for it to work in background. Other golf apps I’ve used all work in the background with the location set to While Using. 
Also was slow to sync distance from iPhone app to Wingman HD.

### 1/5 — The update ruined it

*2026-07-01, version 3.0.5*

This was a five star app before the update.  Now it is garbage.  It often gives bad yardages and can’t tell where it is in relation to the hole, requiring a restart.  It often will not give yardage to a chosen fairway spot and then the yardage in from there.  Very disappointed.  All for a money grab too.

### 1/5 — Worst Bluetooth Connect Process

*2026-06-28, version 3.0.5*

The new app update completely messed up my BT connectivity.  

The setup is incredibly complicated for a product in 2026 and I seem to have to fiddle with it every time I play. It’s not worth the effort.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t advance holes

*2026-06-19, version 3.0.5*

Used to be a great app, now it doesn’t advance holes.  If you aren’t paying attention it is on the wrong hole with the wrong yardage

### 1/5 — Updated app is garbage

*2026-06-19, version 3.0.5*

The updated app doesn’t work. I loved the previous version to supplement my Bushnell range finder. It was great to find distances to hazards, etc. The new version just locks up on me. Is Bushnell trying to get us all to buy the plus version? So disappointed.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-06-15, version 3.0.5*

This app used to be great. However now it constantly pushes subscription features on pop up screens and they lock basic features. Wish I never bought their products. Just more greed by this company.

### 1/5 — Unstable Bloaatwar

*2026-06-13, version 3.0.5*

Previous version of this app worked flawlessly with Wingman devices. Early in 2026, they released a new version filled with features I can’t imagine anyone requested. Since then, the app freezes or crashes regularly. Opening another app on a phone running this app will cause it to crash. 

I have had a support case open for months. No response since the initial acknowledgment. I will not continue to use Bushnell products based upon how badly they’ve managed this one.

### 1/5 — App does not track rounds

*2026-06-11, version 3.0.5*

App is great for distances and general hole mapping. Horrible at tracking, entering and saving rounds. Spend less time promoting purchase updates and update the app to be useful for round tracking. Does not work, never has.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Keep it Simple

*2026-04-26, version 3.0.2*

I like the free App better than the pay for upgrades. The graphics and green reading features are nice but I didn’t feel they were necessary. Too much information making it a bit overwhelming. I’m sticking with the basic features

### 5/5 — Excellent Golf GPS App

*2026-04-16, version 3.0*

I have been using the Bushnell Golf GPS app for years and the recent redesign is seriously impressive. They introduced a free trial to explore new features, and it didn’t take long to see how much the experience improved. The 3D mode is a standout and gives a completely new perspective on each hole and I’ve also been using the green heat maps, which have been very helpful in understanding how putts break and have definitely cut down on my number of 3-putts. Overall, this is a great example of a company stepping up and investing in new technology to improve their customer experience…I highly recommend it!

### 5/5 — Too big now

*2026-04-12, version 3.0*

The app takes up far too much phone memory now. I get the all singing and dancing. But a lot of users I know do not need or want this. Why not have a basic version as before just to be able to use existing devices

### 5/5 — Wow!

*2026-04-08, version 3.0*

This new update is incredible!! I upgraded and love these new features!

### 5/5 — App

*2026-02-06, version 2.6*

Outstanding golf app works great on courses you may not play often and gives great feedback on yardage

### 5/5 — Need iWatch functionality

*2026-01-28, version 2.6*

Great app for iPhone and Wingman HD but Bushnell should add an iWatch option for players that have these devices.  

Please consider adding this feature.

### 5/5 — Golf

*2026-01-14, version 2.5.2*

Great

### 5/5 — Navy Marine Golf Course

*2026-01-12, version 2.5.2*

This app keeps me right on track to success

### 5/5 — Bushnell

*2025-12-06, version 2.5.2*

Best app ever for golf.

### 5/5 — It’s great

*2025-11-08, version 2.5.1*

I love it. It’s great
