### 5/5 — This is amazing

*2026-07-10*

I’ve already been using this app in tandem with sanbai and this will definitely be a game changer in terms of goal-setting. (Assuming you have basic course) All of the tools are here at ease of access to help with score tracking and even linked to your Life4 profile to go for those ranks. Highly recommend to those starting out and even for veterans alike!
