Everything you need

Very good app. Everything you need to play and track your game. Course maps, actual and adjusted yardages, shot tracking…..all easy to use. Premium version is very reasonably priced. Customer service is top-notch, addressing any errors and issues quickly and accurately.

Great. Compare to others to see how great

I have been using this app for 3 years and I love showing all the features and how much I’m paying for mine vs. theirs. All of their features I have and mine are easier to read. Once it finds your distances it is very accurate. I am always pin high (just can’t get them straight to land the green). It takes a few rounds to really dial them in. I wish the dev would put a ball strike option on the app (like when I hit it fat or thin). Love the app and love how easy it is to work with.

Basic

I only have the basic at the moment which I use on my Apple Watch. I expected a little more than the front middle and back of the green yardages. I thought it would be more like the Garmin free basic information that gives hazards distances. That’s all I want, I don’t need pictures, but definitely don’t want to be tied in into a paid contract for that. On the first use I couldn’t move to the next hole on my watch but on the second use I could move through the holes, just a learning issue I guess.

What a great find

My range finder bit the dust so I thought give this app a try! WOW! Use on watch, phone lots of options. Can’t go wrong!

Excellent Golf GPS

I’ve been using this app for a few years now. I play 6 days a week and take my golf game rather seriously. The details provided while playing, and post game stats are a game changer.

I play courses you’ve never heard of unless you live in the area, despite that fact, the gps is always extremely accurate. I’ve even tested distances with high-end range finders, with no discrepancies.

The cherry on top is the price. if your penny pinching like me to be able to afford daily golf, this is the app for you. Premium pricing is dirt cheap when compared to 18birdies, and the Grint.

Mr

Good look and easy understand

Laggy on Apple Watch

You get what you pay for.

Upgrade Version

I purchased the upgrade so I could post direct to my GINN Handicap system. This feature isn’t working for me since I can’t verify my email address. The app crashes and support isn’t very helpful.

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.

Great Easy app

What an easy to use. Golfing buddy told me about it. Been using it for two years now.

I sold my rangefinder I could never get that thing to work well.

no matter where you’re standing on the course this app shows you the yardage to the front of the Green middle and back. All I need

Deal Breaker

GolfPad Review:

I started using GolfPad when it first came out. I really liked it as it gave basic distances—front, middle, back of green—and kept score easily but for only one person. Then it added scoring for up to 4 people, and over time eventually the geeks took over, changing the interface and adding bells and whistles endlessly. It became quite frustrating when I didn’t play golf from November to April to be on the course for a new year and not be able to figure out all the changes while trying to play a round of golf. I eventually gave up on it about a year ago, but have not been able to find a simple, basic golf app, while most want a subscription to get endless bells and whistles that have little to do with playing golf, like posting photos, sharing online, etc.

So, I recently decided to give GolfPad another go. I also purchased an Apple Watch 11 in January, and with the other apps I’d tried, it was convenient to have distances on my wrist. So, when I set up GolfPad, started a round and discovered I could not use it on my watch without granting access to my Health App. Now, this an true deal breaker! Why on earth would I share sensitive medical information with a gold app? It could at least be optional for those who maybe don’t even use Health, but for me at age 74, Health stores all my prescription drug information and a multitude of health data that is protected under HIPPA laws. Should have thought that one through folks.

So, still looking for a simple, basic distance and score keeping golf app. Or, waiting for GolfPad to realize the error of their ways.

Bad update

Since the update it skips ahead a hole and Is the most annoying thing while your playing

Great App

I have used this app for a few years and it is great! Easy to use and accurate. I recently had an issue as my course switched the front and back nines. After this it wouldn’t automatically post the score to GHIN. I contacted them and received a response within one day on how to resolve the issue. It was a very easy fix. Good customer service is rarely found but theirs was great.

Easy to use!

I’ve been using this for 3 weeks. Our club has changed front & back so the GHIN GPS isn’t working. My friend told me about this app and I love it. Gives you front, middle & back distance free. The GHIN app doesn’t do this unless you pay $49.99. This app premium is $29.99 and with that you can post your score directly to GHIN.
