### 4/5 — Nice app but search would make it much better

*2026-05-18, version 9.2.3*

I’ve been using the Expert Golf book for years. It presents golf’s rules in very much simpler, straight forward format. The app does a good job of bringing that format and ease of use into the app. 

One of the things that is severely missing is a good search function. The search only searches the section headers. It should search the full text of there complete guide. 

For example, suppose you wanted to verify the type of relief you get from a cart path. If their search function worked as it should, you would just type in “cart” or “path” or “road” and it would bring up a the text that had that word in it. 

But with the search only searching section headers, you need to know that cart path relief is part of the abnormal course conditions section. 

Add a better search and this is easily a 5 star app.

### 1/5 — Crooks !!

*2026-05-05, version 9.2.3*

Okay, not to give me updates. But not okay to make the existing and paid version non-functional.
Apple, why are you guys not doing anything about this?

### 5/5 — très pratique!

*2025-10-25, version 9.2.3*

très pratique et rapide à consulter sur le parcours . J’ai toujours trouvé une réponse à ma question

### 3/5 — O

*2025-03-10, version 9.2.3*

Actualización hasta el 2023 y no están en español.

### 1/5 — Fregatura

*2024-03-24, version 9.2*

Non acquistatela, sono le regole non aggiornate, se le vuoi aggiornate devi acquistarne un’altra che per di più non c’è la lingua italiana, truffa

### 2/5 — Non in lingua italiana

*2023-11-12, version 9.1*

Purtroppo con l’aggiornamento alle regike 2019 è sparita la lingua italiana

### 1/5 — Download

*2023-11-03, version 9.1*

Just purchased app but it doesn’t load!!

### 1/5 — Unverschämt

*2023-07-19, version 9.1*

Ich habe vor 2Jahren für 9,99 € die Regeln gekauft. Für immer, dachte ich. Aber seit die Regeln leicht geändert wurden, muss ich ein upgrade machen, sonst lassen sich die Regeln nicht mehr öffnen. Kostet wieder 9,99 €. Das ist unverschämt und auch sicher nicht rechtens.

### 1/5 — Crap app

*2023-05-09, version 9.0*

This app doesn’t work never worked and is now blocked because they want another $20 for updated rules.  The rules from prior to update don’t work even though I paid for the app.

### 1/5 — Update

*2023-05-07, version 9.0*

Vorsicht wenn sie diese App kaufen, müssen sie auch alle weiteren Updates erwerben. Denn bei einem Update kann die gekaufte „alte“ Version nicht mehr genutzt werden. Das halte ich für eine Frechheit.
