Makes you pay

Could at least make the simplest feature free lol. I have never left a review on the App Store, but this annoyed me enough to be the first one.

trash

App is unusable unless you spend money and for a ridiculous price should be a option why would i ever pay money to save myself 5 mins from looking up my own clubs don’t get this app unless you’re rich and love wasting money

Nothing is free

As soon as you make your account and about to start logging your gear, it’s locked behind a paywall.

Response from developer

Hi there. Thanks for the letting us know how you feel. We just released a new version that has many more free features: adding to your pro shop, closet, interacting on the feed, reading the gear drops, and more. We also included a few free gear uploads so you can get a feel for how the app works. The gear uploads cost us money, and when we first released the app we had a lot of users doing bulk uploads and canceling their free trial immediately. So we were forced to go a different route. But we feel we found a good middle ground with the latest release, so please hop back in and give it a try! And if you like it, we’d really appreciate updating your review. Thanks a ton for helping us grow and improve.

No free lunch

You can’t even use it without paying. No free trial. Nothing. Like let me add a single club before hitting me up for some money. Make the app a couple bucks for tracking your bag and then roll out the subscription for more features. 18Birdies lets you track what you have in your bag for free for just inventory purposes. Unusable for free. The subscription could be fire if you wanted to take full advantage, but for a beginner golfer it seems like a waste.

Another BS paywall app

Cool concept but another useless paywall app. No free trial. Skip it.

Overpriced

Honestly a great idea but you have to pay just to use every little feature on the app.

Pay Wall

What loser cares enough about this concept to actually pay for this?

Terrible

They force you to review before you even create an account.

They charge you a premium subscription just to add clubs to your bag

Pay wall

Unfortunately this app is cost-prohibitive. Why do I need another $40/year subscription. Completely absurd price point.

Make it a pay-for app once or add ads or something. Not everything should be this expensive.

Why would anyone pay for this?

Subscription model has gotten out of hand.

An app, that can be replaced by the notes app, but costs $40 a year

I think I’ll just look into my golf bag to see why clubs I have instead of downloading an app

Seriously, this is a type of app that should have ads to pay for your cloud costs, or some freemium model. I’m doubtful that anyone is making it past the subscription screen.

Paid app

Outrageously priced subscription app that you cannot use for free. Total waste of time to download.

Wasted Potential

Screw any app creator that advertises their product without specifically letting users know they don’t even offer a free option until they download the app and find out for themselves. Lame.

Waste of time

You can’t get thru without buying a subscription

Needs a trial. I’m not paying for something without seeing how it functions first

0/10

Paywall

When you first open the app you are asked questions about favorite brands where you buy your clubs etc then you are immediately asking to pay for a subscription without even getting to try any of the app cannot stand subscriptions for these little apps was looking forward to using but will not be paying for it

Not Free

App has NO functionality without paying for subscription. (Not even a trial. Why would I drop $40 on something when I don't even know what it can do for me?) Better off using ChatGPT to make you an excel sheet. Avoid.

Great App!

Golf Gear is a game changer for anyone managing a golf equipment collection or reselling clubs. The UI is clean and intuitive, and the AI valuation engine is where this app really shines. I tested it with my own inventory and the estimated values came back within five to ten percent of my own research within a fraction of the time. The deal analyzer feature is clever and really helps you make smarter decisions on trades and purchases. If you’re serious about golf gear, whether you’re a collector or a reseller, this is worth downloading. Highly recommend. Five stars.

Good app

The app is a good idea and the check deal feature is really cool and the only thing i’d change to the my bag is adding a search bar to find your stuff easily you do have to get a subscription to use but in my opinion it is worth it.

Response from developer

Hey Jackson, I really appreciate the kind words! I’m glad you enjoyed the app and like the idea. I added your suggestion for a search bar on each tab. I want to hook you up with a free year since you took the time to help me improve the app. Shoot me an email golfgearapp@gmail.com. I have a neat feature dropping tomorrow which I think will make the app something we all use on a weekly basis.

Awful!

Do not spend money on this. They value everything way off. The idea is good execution not good at all!

Response from developer

Hi there, first of all I want to thank you for trying out the app! I’m really glad you like the idea. The last few days we received a few reviews like this which urged us to take a deep dive into our appraisal system and make some significant changes. I am happy to give more details, just shoot me a message at golfgearapp@gmail.com. I hope you give the app another shot! Grateful for the feedback, the opportunity to improve and hopefully bring you back on.

Great UI, Terrible Pricing.

Undervalues everything I have put in so far by at LEAST 50% or market value. For starters it said a brand new Ghost Golf cart bag was $198, and a 2024 Cobra Darkspeed driver was $93. Not sure where they are pulling comps from, but needs severe work. Do not recommend.

Response from developer

Hey Jason, I thoroughly appreciate the feedback. On a positive note, I’m really glad you liked the UI! Your callout was extremely valid about the appraisal price estimates. We did a deep dive in our appraisal functionality and found some weak spots that have since been remediated. I really appreciate you helping us improve by providing feedback. I really hope you give the app another shot! Please reach out with any questions, I’m happy to fill you in on some of the finer details on the changes we made and the new value I’m seeing for the equipment you mentioned. Golfgearapp@gmail.com. Hope to hear from you soon. All the best!
