### 4/5 — Good but needs work

*2026-09-04, version 13.9.1*

Downloaded after seeing great reviews on social media and tried for the first time today and no gps on the whole course. Not helpful at all when trying to use it for yardages as well as scoring. I hope this gets addressed and sorted so the smaller courses don’t get left out. Everything else seems to be working as it should.

### 4/5 — New golfer

*2026-08-29, version 13.9.0*

I am new to golf and was told about this app  and it has been very easy and fun to use going on my 4 th round and at different courses.  Shows the course and gps works great as well. I have mentioned it to 15 golf friends

### 5/5 — Love the App

*2026-08-16, version 13.8.1*

Great App
Can there be a change to allow what hole gets a stroke because there are caps on the number of strokes we allow?

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2026-08-15, version 13.8.1*

Great app. Don’t have to have a scorecard. You and your playing buddies can follow each others rounds.

### 5/5 — Great for groups

*2026-08-15, version 13.8.1*

App looks really good. Easy to use some great features and really good if you’re playing in groups.

### 5/5 — Good app

*2026-08-15, version 13.8.1*

👍

### 5/5 — Awesome App

*2026-08-14, version 13.8.1*

This app is fantastic. We have a large group that always play and this app allows us to track and follow all action. There are minor things we wish it could do, but it is the beat we have right now.

### 5/5 — Excellent app we use all the time

*2026-08-14, version 13.8.1*

Could do with a few improvements : 1- allow option to specify name of contest, and which holes they can be used on with specific handicap range 2- allow specification of multiple handicaps per player. 3. Add our own named contests I.e Leary

### 5/5 — Great app but could be better

*2026-08-14, version 13.8.1*

I can’t see why the app can’t work without being connected to the internet

### 5/5 — Handicaps

*2026-08-12, version 13.8.1*

You need the ability to calculate handicaps. Other than that its great

### 4/5 — Good App

*2026-08-12, version 13.8.1*

Sometimes tricky finding game modes. Pretty user friendly and well priced subscription.

### 5/5 — Best Golf App for small to large groups and now you can run multi-day tournaments.  Outstanding!!

*2026-08-12, version 13.8.1*

Introduce this app to every group I play with and they all love it. They are now using it in their clubs.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-08-12, version 13.8.1*

Here from good good

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-08-11, version 13.8.1*

Great app for overall green mapping and measuring distance.

### 5/5 — Good useful app

*2026-08-11, version 13.8.1*

This app gives me most yardages on my home course and is very good as it gives me a realistic handicap

### 5/5 — Top app

*2026-08-11, version 13.8.1*

Great app easy to use and great for keeping scores

### 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!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Just simply a RUBBISH app

*2026-09-06, version 13.9.1*

The fact that the top YouTube players put their behind this shows they will do anything for a bit of money. GPS tracking the worst I have ever seen and there’s no way I would ever give up 18Birdies for this. Nothing more than a glorified digital score card

### 1/5 — Massively flawed

*2026-08-26, version 13.8.5*

First time I attempted to use on my local course I lasted 3 holes. Noticed the score card was completely wrong so I went back to my usual app. 2 holes par was completely incorrect a par 5 made into a 3 and a 3 into a 4. 
Second time on the same course GPS hadn’t a clue what it was doing. It thought the green for 2 holes was the tee box for another hole. 
Shouldn’t need to contact them to fix these issues. 
I suspect these issues will be found on a lot of other courses so uninstalled and got refund.

### 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

### 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!

### 1/5 — one big ad

*2026-06-12, version 13.6.1*

Brutal design and one giant ad for brands and good good. Extremely annoying UX, wrong course handicaps and score cards all the time. Had to use it for a tournament and it was a disaster

### 1/5 — Home Course All Wrong

*2026-06-08, version 13.6.1*

When the location of my home course is spelled wrong, Chrstchurchn (Christchurch).
When a par 4 on my home course is listed as a par 3…
I know this app is not for me.
Uninstalling now…

### 1/5 — Useless without expensive subscription

*2026-05-31*

For almost everything you need to pay. Even for adding multiple people to the scorecard.

### 1/5 — POOR

*2026-05-23, version 13.5.2*

It’s does not show all the courses.  The GPS is not accurate hence the poor rating.  Be good if they update the app regularly with new courses

### 1/5 — Ads, Promotions, Subcriptions

*2026-05-18, version 13.5.1*

Focuses more on ads, promotions, and subscriptions before providing you any value

### 1/5 — Not the best. Don’t bother!

*2026-05-02, version 13.4.5*

You have to pay and become a paid subscriber to be able to use the GPS feature. Other golf apps out there have GPS and score card included for free. This app is garbage. All about $$. Deleted my account and the app.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Greatest golf app

*2026-09-06, version 13.9.1*

This app helps you create Golf communities and be able to follow your friends and manage statistics with ease

### 5/5 — Best out there

*2026-09-05, version 13.9.1*

My go-to for everything golf related (scoring, gps, handicap). Been using it since I first started back in 2019ish and will continue doing so.

### 5/5 — Mark

*2026-09-02, version 13.9.0*

Great App and very simple to use.

### 5/5 — GameBook

*2026-09-01, version 13.9.0*

Love this app! Say goodbye to keeping old scorecards. We use GameBook to keep track of our skins and stableford points from a foursome to as many as 60 players! Great product.

### 5/5 — Only Golf App you need

*2026-09-01, version 13.9.0*

Love the app. Deleted all the others I’ve tried. Found some courses that were not on the list. Emailed them and the add them on pretty quick.

### 5/5 — A great app

*2026-08-20, version 13.8.5*

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.

### 5/5 — 2nd time user

*2026-08-19, version 13.8.5*

This is only the second time I have used this app, but I have to say it is very helpful in many way, the scoring is easy and gives you up to the shot handicap performance, the GPS is incredibly accurate and helps with shot choice but is also changeable if you wish to take a different approach. All in all a great tool to take on any golf course. Thanks.

### 5/5 — stockfade

*2026-08-19, version 13.8.5*

cracka app

### 5/5 — Ledge

*2026-08-18, version 13.8.1*

Great app, great for large groups

### 5/5 — Top Draw

*2026-08-16, version 13.8.1*

We use it for our society the live leaderboard is brilliant
