Shows the course and gps works great as well. I have mentioned it to 15 golf friends ### 5/5 — A great app *2026-08-20* I’ve never been able to very well use a paper scorecard just because I can’t be bothered to sit down and write a number every single time I sit down in the golf cart, this app makes it easy for me to just on the ride to the next hole or while I’m waiting for my other buddies to tee off to just get a score in and move on. A very helpful little guide around the course as well as a nice scorekeeper as well as handicap keeper. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review 🙌 ### 1/5 — Abo Modell für Testversion ist Betrug *2026-08-12* Trotz sofortiger Löschung der app mit Kündigung des Abos nach einer 10 minütigen Testphase wurde trotzdem das Abo für ein ganzes Jahr berechnet ### 5/5 — Fantastic Golf App! *2026-08-04* I love this app. It makes it super easy to keep score during the round and to capture some statistics (even when you are far sighted as all toggles are large and intuitive to use). It is also super fast in the interface and GPS so that you can plan the next 2-3 shots ahead on the map and avoid trouble or odd distances. The best experience was, however, when I asked customer support to add one of many home courses which was not included in the app with GPS data. They responded within 12 hours and it is now fully covered - 5 stars for the app, 10 for the customer support experience! ### 5/5 — Super app *2026-08-03* Super !!!! **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! 💚 ### 4/5 — Great value for money *2026-07-31* The app is great and it covers the basics at a reasonable yearly subscription. The new handicap feature is a good addition. It’d be even better if it tracked and logged shot distances and dispersion patterns. What are the possibilities of adding those two features in the next upgrade? ### 2/5 — Löcher falsch angeordnet *2026-07-24* Hallo Golf GameBook-Team, ich habe heute die App zum ersten Mal verwendet und bin leider doch recht enttäuscht. Die Features, dass es möglich ist, Schlaglänge zu messen, GPS zu verwenden oder auch die Fahnenposition einzustellen sind wirklich gut. Jedoch sind beim Golfclub Breisgau die Löcher ab Loch 3 falsch angeordnet was die App leider nicht nutzbar macht. Vllt. Könnte sich das mal angeschaut und korrigiert werden. Viele Grüße Thomas H. ### 1/5 — Not worth using *2026-07-13, version 13.7.5* This app is riddled with advertisements at every screen, it’s one of those apps where you click a button and have to see two ads - if you didn’t mean to press that button still have to watch the ad. The app itself is also buggy and showed users in groups but wouldn’t let that user enter a score. There’s better apps for this out there! ### 4/5 — My thoughts *2026-06-27, version 13.6.5* Okay some of these course don’t have maps on the score card so be we can get tee markers for the next hole, would make it easier to navigate. Also some of these courses are goat tracks so maybe animate the fareways and greens so we can tell the difference from hole to hole , some times it’s hard to tell where to hit my shot. And how about giving us a trace feature?!! ### 5/5 — Review *2026-06-22* The first thing that comes out of this equation will probably have a lot of implications on what is actually a very large scale effect in terms on a given population and what it does for people who have lived there and are in their late eighties who live here or in other parts the same age bracket or whatever is going around it in terms and how much of a population the person in question actually lives here in that is in a population and has been living here for a while now so it might have a very large population and it might have an impact in a lot more population AY YO ## Frequently asked questions about Golf GameBook ### What does Golf GameBook do?
