Profile

Can’t update profile. No matter what phone number I enter I am asked to enter a valid phone number. App does not move from hole to hole on my phone watch. I have to constantly restart and scroll to the next hole.

So far so good

Finicky and unreliable

I downloaded today and played two nines (play started on 10). The app tracks shots and saves distance… except when the screen times out or to accidentally tap anywhere else on the screen while carrying the phone. I’ve lost 1/2 of the yardages today because of this defect. And then multiple times during the round the app crashed and I had to reopen and hope my round progress was somehow saved. Finicky and unreliable.

Poor button design

Using this app to gauge yardage at my local driving range. The range has flags at various yardages and the GPS gives the distance you are from the flag. Each flag is a hole on the app. The problem I am having is the buttons are too small to move between flags. I have an iPhone 12 mini. I can use the back arrow to go back on previous flags, but it is almost impossible to press the forward button to cycle through holes(flags). Update: the app no longer works. Nothing loads on my iPhone 15. The screen spins like it is looking for local courses and doesn’t load anything. Update: I uninstalled and reinstalled the app and it is working well! I am not experiencing any of the issues above.
