User reviews

Average, not pro quality

App works as advertised. Buttons in design to pay upgrade options. No 5 star app does this for me. time lost in interface because of this. Plus watch link is awkward when starting a round.

Stop messing around with it - used to work fine.

Won’t open, just spins and then freezes. Remove/delete and re-download. Log in. Agree to terms and conditions and it just closes. No nothing. Can’t open it. For the past decade or however long the app has existed it worked just fine. Stop trying to be what you’re not and adding features that ultimately screw everything up. Just have the thing work to create handicaps. That’s all we need it to do.

“My Bag” is useless!

I don’t know why I can’t input the actual yardages that I hit my clubs! Your algorithm is useless! Please give us the ability to disable the distances you think we should hit our clubs! It’s ridiculous that you think you know better than the golfer!

Greens Map Not Working Today

I’m a fan of the app. Not so much today. The greens map is unavailable on a course I play regularly.

Good App, Lacks in Some

The app overall has so much good going for it. The stat tracking is great and the GPS is fairly good. It is a little disappointing that the GPS rendering is flat 2D course models when the free version of 18Birdies has fully rendered, 3D satellite image rendering. I feel that is something that could be improved since you are paying to use the app. That is really my only did on the app.
