Ball Finder does not work at all! Maybe it worked when it was tested in a controlled setting, but the reality on most courses is that the sun is too bright for you to be able to see your screen when adjusting the filters. I feel the score card was added to this app, just so people couldn't complain that they paid 99 cents for an app that does not work. And to think this current version has been updated for iOS 9... How bad was the last version to warrant an update ?? ### 1/5 — Golf ball finder *2015-09-25, version 4.0* Not effective. Does not work as described ### 1/5 — Waste Of Money *2015-01-20, version 4.0* What a load of rubbish, load all the details of a golf course, went back to the app to use the course and the app won't open the scorecard, as for the ball finder you could see just as much with a blindfold on, USELESS !!!!!!!!! I don't want to give any stars but I have to to be able to submit the review, obviously don't want honesty ### 1/5 — Ball Finder *2014-12-08, version 4.0* I need an app to get my buck back. Terrible! ### 1/5 — Worse than rubbish *2014-11-02, version 3.2* Wish I had read the previous reviews before completely wasting 69 pence!! Doesn't work at all. Even with the ball lying on my living room carpet!! Don't bother ### 1/5 — It doesn't work. *2014-10-27* Just installed this app and found that it doesn't work at all. I don't know whether it properly works with other ios version. But, it never works with ios8 at least especially the ball finding function (blue filter camera). I strongly ask the company or app store to refund $0.99 immediately. ### 1/5 — Won't open *2014-10-16, version 3.2* I paid money for an app that crashes as soon as I push the find my ball button..... Really!!!! ### 1/5 — This app doesn't work *2014-09-21, version 3.2* I tried to use it the other day and the camera popped up but it didn't show me where my balls were. It never changed colors like it does it the picture. Don't recommend it. ### 1/5 — VÖLLIG NUTZLOS !! *2014-08-09* Die App wäre selbst geschenkt zu teuer. Habe postwendend bei Apple reklamiert und eine Gutschrift angefordert. ### 1/5 — STOP *2014-07-25, version 3.2* Do not buy this, it's a COMPLETE waste of time, does not work. ### 1/5 — Hmmm not sure about this *2014-07-20, version 3.2* It's basically the same idea as the blue ball finder glasses out there. The ball has to be visible to the naked eye anyway. You're probably going to see it regardless. Doesn't track balls in flight. Glad it was only a buck. :-) ### 1/5 — Possibly the worst way to spend 69p?? *2014-06-05, version 3.2* Not only am I ball-less. But I am also 69p worse off aswell. This app couldn't even find the golf ball on my tiled (black tiles) kitchen floor. Infact, it actually made it harder to find! ### 1/5 — Ne marche pas *2013-10-27* N'espérez pas retrouver vos balles de golf avec cette appli ça ne marche pas du tout. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2013-09-29, version 3.2* Couldnt find a ball on the fairway 2 foot away from me ### 1/5 — Awful *2013-08-31, version 3.2* Cannot even start to tell you how bad this is! If there was a minus star rating it would be -5! Awful awful awful ### 1/5 — Golf ball finder *2013-08-23, version 3.2* Appalling gimmick. Do not buy even for 69p. Just applies useless filter, grass type selector does not work. ### 1/5 — Nutzlos *2013-08-22* Ohne große Erwartungen getestet und noch enttäuscht... Nicht einmal im Ansatz ist die Funktion zu erkennen, geschweige denn fähig einen Ball im Rough zu finden! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 全く使えません *2025-01-16* ゴルフ場でボールが見つからなくて何か良いアプリを探して購入しました。 全くボールに反応しません。 ### 1/5 — The worst 89p I’ve ever spent in my entire life *2022-10-12, version 5.1* Don’t do it. Even if you’re thinking how bad can it be for 89p, trust me, it’s not worth it. ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2018-10-26, version 5.1* Absolute dog **** ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2018-09-28, version 5.1* Stupid app waste of $. They should pull this as it doesn’t help or work in anyway! ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2018-07-24, version 5.1* Read the reviews but thought it was worth a try. End result ........ 99 pence down the drain as it can’t find a ball on my lawn at my feet. Avoid!! ### 1/5 — Garbage *2018-06-03, version 5.1* Waste of money ### 1/5 — Don't waste 99p *2017-07-24, version 5.0* Shocking doesn't work one bit ### 1/5 — Rick Peterson *2017-07-18, version 5.0* I am constantly losing golf balls so I was excited when I find this app. Unfortunately you will trip over the ball before this app will find it. I simply doesn't work at all. ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2016-06-29, version 4.1* I have never downloaded a piece of crap like this ....can barely find a ball in my back yard within 6 feet...I've adjusted everything ### 1/5 — Hahaha *2016-06-13, version 4.1* Idiots ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Cool App *2014-06-14, version 3.2* I just got it and I tried it in my backyard and it worked well. I can't wait to try it on the golf course! ### 5/5 — Works better than the glasses! *2012-07-26, version 3.0* Been using the blue tint glasses for some time, but now swapping over to this. Better than the glasses as you can adjust for sunny / dull weather. ### 5/5 — Great! Found My Ball. *2010-02-02, version 0* Easy to use. Made my friends very jealous! Found my ball, and no Penalty... ### 2/5 — Crap *2017-08-27, version 5.1* Crap ### 2/5 — Scorecard glitch *2017-06-24, version 4.1* Lost data on many occasions due to a glitch on the scorecard set up. If you press the cancel button during a selection on yardage or player score the software crashes and all date is lost!! Extremely frustrating, needs an update. Yet to try the ball finder facility, fingers crossed, hope it can see through water too :-) ### 2/5 — Remove sound *2012-09-22, version 3.0* Please add option to remove sound as there is no way you could use this on a golf course making the current noise ### 2/5 — Bof *2010-11-12* Je suis decu en plus 3,99€ pour sa on ne voit pas la difference dommage --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
