## What is Golf Hits Counter?

Simple Golf Hits Counter does exactly what the name promises: it helps you manually count every stroke on the golf course, hole by hole.

No complicated setup. No account. No distractions. Just open the app and start counting.

Use it on your iPhone, or make things even easier with Apple Watch. Keep your iPhone in your pocket, or leave it behind, and track your strokes directly from your wrist while you play.

For every stroke, simply tap +.
Made a mistake? Tap - to remove a stroke from the current hole.

When you finish a hole, tap NEXT to move on. Need to check or correct an earlier hole? Tap PREVIOUS and adjust your score whenever needed.

Your score is saved automatically whenever you use the app, so your round can be restored if the app is closed or your device restarts. When your iPhone and Apple Watch are paired correctly, your data is continuously synchronized between devices.

There is no registration, no sharing, no advertising, and no in-app purchases. Just a clean, simple golf counter that works right away.

To export your data, swipe left in the iPhone app to open the scoring screen, then tap the export button in the top-right corner.

### 3/5 — Keeps closing

*2023-07-07*

The Apple Watch app keeps closing constantly so I have to reopen it for every stroke.

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2019-12-15*

The app is terrible and doesn’t work.

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear, but as I can tell it works like it should.

### 4/5 — Multiple users

*2019-05-24*

Simple and works, but any chance to add multiple players?

### 5/5 — Golf Counter

*2019-03-26*

This is a simple and very easy to use app with a very clear display on the Apple Watch. The Apple Watch display also shows your scores after 9 and 18 holes but these totals do not appear on the iPhone screen for some reason. When you save the file to the cloud using Excel the scores are re-numbered with the first hole being zero and the last 17 - a bug? That said it’s a very good app and if you’re looking for a Golf Counter then I would recommend you use this one.

**Developer response:** We have now implemented subtotal to the iPhone app too.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2018-10-30*

Nothing fancy about this app, but it does the job!!!

Love it :)

Thank you!

**Developer response:** Glad to hear 😊
