Driving range works 1% of the time/ Awesome golf simulator app 1000x better
Terrible app for driving range and tracking shots. You’ll be lucky if it works at all. It will either load at a black screen, load into the driving range successfully and track a few shots then go back to a black screen, or start flashing after a shot and eventually go to a black screen. I have to troubleshoot every time I want to use the garmin app and have spent 10-15 mins every time I use it. None of the solutions garmin offer work at all. I have restarted my r10 and phone, and disconnected/reconnected Bluetooth what feels like a 100 times now in the month I’ve owned it. My advice is to download Awesome Golf Simulator. It is a subscription but completely worth it if you don’t want to waste your time with the garmin app.

Needs an Apple Watch app for course scores and GPS distances
Would be nice with a lifetime pay once purchase with an addition of an apple watch app then I would buy it. I’m looking for a golf gps app for the watch and this is the closest thing. Maybe also pair with an optional small yearly fee to update courses if desired
What have you done?
This app used to work sporadically, but at least upload to Strava. Now it doesn't either it's utter garbage And apparently Garmin doesn't care.
Fix it or lose a long-term customer

Can’t connect watch
It’s impossible to connect a device on this app. The pairing dialogue box doesn’t open the keyboard so you can’t type the code in. Utterly useless
Eh
My biggest problem with this app is that it doesn’t seem to automatically identify statistical outliers for yardages. For example it claims my max drive is 450 yards - and I think the only way to fix this myself would be to scrub through every single hole to find where it thinks this happened and deleting that shot. It’s really frustrating that garmin can’t identify obviously wrong data and omit it from stats. Would LOVE to see this improved.

Map screen black
Can't even use the simulator or practice purpose of this since the screen is always black you can't see your ball flight. At good point it provides nothing extra that a $200 device does. They need to fix this because half the function doesn't work.
Range help
When the app is working properly, it’s a fantastic tool. It gives you serious data to help. Adjust your swing and contact. Unfortunately the device sometimes stops working and like most Garmin products. The charging system is very old-school using micro USB. Unfortunately in Hawaii in a marine environment, all of my previous Garmin watches and bike equipment, charging system rust out. I won’t use Garmin again after this stops working. Otherwise it’s fantastic.

Great… when it works
Love it for using with my R10, but I have to uninstall it and reinstall it about every other driving range session because of black screen. Annoying! Fix it!
Practice display goes black?
Anyone else having trouble with the practice field image going black? I’ve cleared my default browser history and website data, reinstalled the app, and made sure I have 100% battery. Just started happening after the last update…
Garbage App you should fire your devs
The Garmin R10 hardware is decent. The software is absolute garbage.
Nothing says “premium launch monitor” like standing on the range deleting the app, reconnecting Bluetooth, recalibrating the device, and praying it records a shot. Half the time I’m troubleshooting Garmin’s bugs instead of practicing golf.
The most frustrating part is that these are clearly software failures, not user errors because after that ridiculous recovery loop it works again. Garmin should be embarrassed to ship an app this unreliable and then leave customers to waste range sessions fighting with it.
I regret buying it. Do better, this is a pathetic product.

Good app
I like the app overall it helps recall the round.
I don’t get it
No way this is a >4 rated app. You have to pay $100/year to get distances where other apps provide it for free. Plus it wants me to enter all stats on my watch which is a bit small. No thanks - deleted.
Poor set up
Unable to create account because it constantly says invalid date format
Lost watch can’t enter total score
I would love to continue using this app, but I lost my watch. Until I find it I cannot enter my total score if I have forgotten to enter it whole by hole on the course. It is so annoying.
Giving this a 1 till it’s fixed
Avoid for now. Last year I had zero problems, worked 100% besides the odd sim misread. This year? I’m lucky to get 20 shots in before the app crashes or Home Tee Hero freezes. Whatever they changed was a massive back step.
Disappointed
I’ve been using the app for well over a year and am left with nothing but disappointment. My watch (Approach S70) is a great lifestyle watch but when it comes to golf it is a huge let down. Forget any reasonable stats on chipping or putting unless you have sensors. No allowances for positional or recovery shots where you may be playing to get back into play thus falsely showing info on club distances. The app falls well short of the data provided its competitors. I also have the Garmin laser finder and there is often big distances shown on the watch/app.

Why can’t garmin stop my s70 from disconnecting?
When I’m in the middle of golfing, I go to check the wind and it keeps saying unable to connect to Golf app. I have to restart the app and the wind will show again for an hour and then it happens again. I have tried giving my location full access not just when using the app, but the issue still happens. This started after updating the app months ago. Before then, it was working fine for about a year as it was happening before that. Garmin, please work on this issue. This is a $700 watch. The watch is great app functionality not so much

Virtual Range Black Out
The virtual range shows me a black screen where the driving range is supposed to be. I can still toggle into other modes, but this critical feature is gone. It used to work. No longer does. Frustrating to be a paying user for a broken product.
Klasse App
Ich arbeite wirklich sehr gerne mit der Garmin Golf -App und bin sehr zufrieden. Allerdings wird seit dem letzten Update die Golfschlagkarte nicht mehr regelmäßig angezeigt, dass ist sehr ärgerlich .
Great bit of kit
Superb kit to use
