Amazing support!

Tried several apps and this one takes the cake! Easy to use especially when paired with a watch! Wow! So much great information! No need for the range finder! Support is outstanding as well. My home course recently changed hole order … on a whim, I decided to reach out and see if I could get someone to help. Had it fixed in 24 hours! Just awesome! Do yourself a favor and download. You will not be disappointed!

Love It!

Have you used this app all over the Midwest, and have often times used it with people in my group or my pairing. We all enjoy it, especially the premium version!

Beste kostenlose App, aber…

Alles was man braucht, mit der Option für einen guten Preis diverse Premium-Features zur Analyse freizuschalten.
Leider kam man kürzlich auf die Idee, mir die App in Deutsch aufzuzwingen, ohne vorher zu fragen. Ich würde die Englische Version bevorzugen, kann die Sprache aber nicht auswählen. Daher ein Punkt Abzug. Funktional das Beste was ich finden konnte.

Response from developer

Hallo, vielen Dank für dein ehrliches Feedback! Es tut uns leid, dass die App plötzlich auf Deutsch umgestellt wurde, ohne dass du das wolltest, das ist definitiv nicht die Erfahrung, die wir dir bieten möchten. Aktuell folgt die Sprache automatisch den Geräteeinstellungen, aber wir verstehen, dass eine manuelle Auswahl sinnvoller wäre. Schreib uns gerne an support@golfpadgps.com, dann schauen wir, ob wir dir kurzfristig helfen können und geben dein Feedback an unser Team weiter. Danke, dass du Golf Pad treu bleibst!

Got to be the BEST!

This app…at this price…for a premium app is amazing. It does everything that the higher tiered apps will do and more you can even post your USGA GHIN scores that keeps/uodates your Handicap right through the app. Amazing job GolfPad team. Keep up the good work. PS- This is NOT a paid advertisement… it’s a true assessment of the app, and I’ve tried them all. Get it and you won’t be disappointed.

Best golf app - I’ve used them all

Like the title says, I’ve downloaded and paid for all the popular golf apps over the years. Golf Pad is by far the best. It’s accurate, works on my Apple Watch. My favorite things about the app: being able to export the raw data into a csv file. I’m a data guy so being able to play with my own data however I want is awesome. If you don’t care for that, the stats already provided are more super useful. The thing that keeps me on this app as opposed to a competitor, is is UX/UI. It’s simple and straight forward on the phone and on the watch. This is so important to me during a round, the less “clicks”, button, screens, menus, the better. No need for fancy graphics. GHIN connections is also very useful. No more entering my score on a different app to track my official world handicap.

Response from developer

Wow, coming from someone who's tried them all, this really means something. Love that you're using the CSV export, we added that specifically for folks who want to dig into their own numbers, so it's great to hear it's landing the way we hoped. The GHIN sync and keeping the UI simple on both phone and watch are things we obsess over, so thank you for noticing. If you ever have ideas for what data you'd want to see next, or run into anything, email us at support@golfpadgps.com, we'd love to hear from you.
