Works great on the others but the images are about 3 years old. ### 2/5 — Kann Marker nicht mehr löschen *2019-11-27, version 1.98* Hat anfangs gut funktioniert. Seit einiger Zeit (letztes iOS Update?) kann ich auf meinem iPhone 8 die Marker nicht mehr löschen. So sammelt sich mit der Zeit überall auf der Karte „Müll“ an. Daher leider nur noch 2 Sterne ### 4/5 — Hazard distances *2017-05-23, version 1.98* Love the app! The easiest to use I've seen. I'm not into micromanaging my golf this is just a perfect tool for for distances to anywhere on the greens or hazards. Excellent for golfing at new courses, awesome situation awareness when planning on course tactics. ### 4/5 — Future *2016-09-18, version 1.98* I truly enjoy this app. I can see the hole for the first time and get good distances to the hole. I hope this app will have an Apple Watch 1 iteration. Is it possible to link the watch and phone so I can check distances on my watch? Thank you for this golf app. ### 2/5 — GPS not accurate enough *2016-07-09, version 1.96* The iphone's GPS is not accurate enough for measuring your distances on the course. I compared Golf GPS with a telemeter, when the telemeter showed 70m, the app showed 85m, almost 2 clubs difference. ### 3/5 — Good app but *2016-05-20, version 1.96* The map is NOT up to date... Please update using newest google earth for new courses. ### 2/5 — almost useless *2014-09-13, version 1.93* it's an almost useless golf gps app. to install others to save ur time. ### 4/5 — Great App - could be better! *2014-05-31, version 1.93* As simple as you could ask for. Adding compass data to rotate the map to where you point the phone would be fantastic! ### 5/5 — Simple and precise (6.5 Hdcp) *2014-04-24, version 1.93* Great app to use on the course. Very accurate, especially on the scale of amateurs. +/- 2 yards seems to be a fair margin. I made my first hole-in-one while using this app!! ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2014-03-05, version 1.93* I use this as a quick range finder for shooting. It pins within 20 yards of my location so it's not dead on but still much better than spending 300 bucks on a rangefinder. ### 5/5 — Genial !!! *2013-09-21, version 1.93* Te permite meter señales de distancia donde tu quieras ( agua, bankers, green, ...etc) , puedes estudiar un golpe a realizar analizando distancias a cualquier obstáculo...dado q utiliza imágenes de satélite vale para cualquier campo, yo antes de jugar en un campo lo busco y le meto las señalizaciones de distancia q desee y quedan guardadas hasta q las borres. Conclusión una pasada mejor que muchas de pago. Propongo una mejora: que se puedan editar las señales de distancias por ejemplo "hoyo1, hoyo2,..." Así cuando juegues localizar mejor aquellos greenes q están muy juntos y no equivocarte con la medición. ### 4/5 — Awesome! *2013-09-05, version 1.93* Great app! Just downloaded before teeing off as my golf buddy ran out of juice. It worked like a charm and finished the whole round and plenty of battery on my iphone! Bye bye golf buddy! ### 5/5 — Greg app !! *2013-07-28, version 1.93* Just downloaded this today and I'm playing on a course in northern Michigan near Cadillac. Currently waiting out the rain on the 8th tee. I have 2 bars on my Verizon signal and the App has worked perfect ! Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Perfetta! *2013-07-11, version 1.93* App veloce e precisa, non perdi tempo e in un attimo hai distanza e visione della buca dall'alto. Consigliatissima. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Frustrating, doesnt work after a while..!! *2016-08-08, version 1.98* Downloaded the app, it worked for a while, now i get a pop up on my iPhone saying (Geo error-204, opration could not be completed) deleted app and downloaded again. Same problem. Is there anything else i could do? or just delete and forget it. ### 1/5 — 설치시 참고사항 *2016-04-15, version 1.96* 글쎄요 설치 안하시는게 정신건강에 좋을 듯합니다 ### 1/5 — Gps *2013-11-03, version 1.93* Non funziona GPS, ha uno scarto di 120 mt. ### 1/5 — A bit off *2013-08-02, version 1.93* Just downloaded and opened. It showed I was in my neighbors house. I put the arrow where I am in my house and I was 23 yards away. Went outside and it showed I was in my neighbors house across the street 39 yards from where I was. I'm thinking this thing is worthless ### 1/5 — Not accurate *2013-06-18, version 1.93* It is not accurate it says something 10 yards away is 40 yards away ### 1/5 — Diminishing Performance - Poor Load Times *2013-05-01, version 1.93* I started using this app on its initial release. I loved the idea… so simple and yet very quick and powerful to obtain distance for your shot and it performed extremely well. Unfortunately, I did not keep the first release. As new versions were put into circulation by the developer, the performance got slower and slower. Now this latest version is so slow it is unusable (attempted to use it yesterday). The app plots "your spot" on the map pretty quickly, but the map takes several minutes to load (so you have a blue dot on a black grid, which is no help). I suspect this is partly due to the app connecting to the now included ads (I've used other map GPS apps at the same time and those maps load fine). There has been increasingly slower map loadings in each subsequent release, which may be caused by "additional features" that the developer added (mark the ball, etc.). I don't want or need those features, just give me the ability to quickly get my yardage. If the developer released a version in which you could select the features you want (say only yardage) and it performed as well as the first version, I would happily pay more than the current price of the app. As it is now, I will not try to use this app anymore. I will start searching for a golf GPS app that loads quickly and gets me the info I want fast.. and I'll even pay for it if need be. ### 1/5 — 헐~~ *2013-04-23, version 1.93* 헐헐~~~~~ 별이 아깝삼~ ### 1/5 — 환불요청 *2012-09-05, version 1.91* 확대안되고 사용법이 없음 ### 1/5 — Don't bother! *2012-08-20, version 1.91* Useless app if you can't see the google map of the course in the middle of the day on the screen. Very clever idea to reverse the yardage lines though! ### 1/5 — Quit working *2012-05-22, version 1.8* Quit working two days ago. Deleted and reinstalled, still not working. Update - Still not working. Used to work great. Don't know what happened. Other golf gps apps that I have work fine. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2024-04-23, version 1.98* Such a lightweight app that checks off all the needed for a rangefinder functionality. Versatility of moving the flag/pin to any desired location, and this allows you to see how far you hit the club once you get to the ball. No download needed and just simple interface makes this my all time fav golf app for finding the distance. A bug needs the developers attention. Once the flag is placed, cannot be removed and the app shuts off. Please fix this. Thanks. ### 5/5 — Apple Watch *2020-08-28, version 1.98* Sarebbe molto utile la versione per Apple Watch. The apple watch version would be very useful. ### 5/5 — Simple, quick, full control *2020-01-23, version 1.98* If you want to simply measure the distance to the pin or other feature(or even to the 19th hole) this is a great app. Manual selection of target. No logins, downloads or score tracking. Good zoom. Just what I wanted. Only problem is I can’t work out how to delete previous tags but I can move them out of the way. ### 5/5 — Clearing yardage markers??? *2019-12-04, version 1.98* I love everything about it, but i realized that there is no button to delete all the yardage markers that I put, can somebody help please. ### 5/5 — Great Simple App *2018-06-10, version 1.98* Played today and this helped me shoot a 2 under 34 on a tight windy course in Texas. Thanks again for creating this little beauty. Steve ### 5/5 — Simple and effective *2016-09-02, version 1.98* Excellent app. Simple effective and cheap. No expensive subscriptions required. ### 5/5 — Super !!! *2016-01-16, version 1.93* Fantastic! You can measure distance to any point such as bunker, hazard.... But please enlarge the number showing distance. It is too small to see while walking. ### 5/5 — Use it for Shooting *2015-08-29, version 1.93* I use this app to make a quick and dirty Range Card. Works great! ### 5/5 — Simple. Effective *2015-01-08, version 1.93* Very easy to use and accurate enough to determine the right club. Would recommend. ### 5/5 — Buenísima *2014-10-14, version 1.93* Genial --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
