### 1/5 — Bait and switch

*2025-04-10*

I purchased this app years ago (2022) and it was never updated and in fact disappeared from the store.  Now it’s active and updated and dev wants subscription.  My app will not work even though couple of my friends who bought same time have a working app.  Dev has not responded to email nor my review.  Developer gets a big zero.

**Developer response:** Hello. Sorry about that. It should not have charged you again. That is a dev mistake. It was supposed to honor previous purchases but for some reason did not. Please contact me and I will make it right. Landon at LandonSwan dot com.

### 1/5 — Subscription?

*2025-02-12*

I purchased this app a few years ago. It hasn’t had an update in 9 years. Then out of no where the developer pushes an update that makes the app unusable without a yearly subscription using the description “Minor Bug Fixes”. Just google golf skins calculator and use the websites that come up free. This was a sleazeball move to make an app I had already paid for unusable.

**Developer response:** Update: I didn't realize you subscribed. It should not have charged you again. That is a dev mistake. Please contact me and I will make it right. Landon at LandonSwan dot com.

### 1/5 — Subscription? Haha

*2024-10-09*

Developer pushed out an update to charge a $4.99 annual subscription. What a slimy move. I don’t subscribe to calculators bro. You have no cloud data or costs. What was the point of this besides a money grab?

Update to Dev: I had already purchased the app mostly because there were no subscriptions. To push out an update that makes the app unusable without subscribing is a lowlife move on your part. Refund me then.

**Developer response:** Update: I didn't realize you subscribed. It should not have charged you again. That is a dev mistake. Please contact me and I will make it right. Landon at LandonSwan dot com.

### 1/5 — Unscrupulous business practices

*2024-09-27*

Bought this app 4 months ago and today am hit w a $4.99 subscription charge and the app is disabled! What gives? WARNING Don’t trust the developer!

**Developer response:** That should not have happened. Apologies. Please reach out and I'll make it right. Landon at LandonSwan dot com. Thanks man.

### 1/5 — Subscription? Haha

*2024-09-24*

Developer pushed out an update to charge a $4.99 annual subscription. What a slimy move. I don’t subscribe to calculators bro. You have no cloud data or costs. What was the point of this besides a money grab?

**Developer response:** So don't subscribe. The app works incredibly well and its $5 a year to save you dozens of hours trying to figure out who pays who after a round with buddies. Leaving a 1 star review on something that works perfectly because you think it is too expensive is the slimy move.  I made this app because my friends and I needed it and I thought others might too. It cost a few thousand dollars to build and I'm just trying to break even over 10 years lol. Save 1 star reviews for scams or stuff that doesn't work, not things you don't want to pay for that actually do what they say they do. Be cool man.

### 1/5 — Only 4 players

*2020-12-05*

App was advertised to handle up to 8 players.  It only goes up to 4 players. Many times we play as a fivesome it’s of no value to me.

**Developer response:** This is not true. You can do up to 8 players.
It defaults to 4, but use the dropdown to change it to up to 8

### 1/5 — Awful

*2020-06-30*

This app wasn’t even close to accurate. Waste of $2

**Developer response:** It is perfectly accurate for dog-eat-dog style betting like skins and many other golf games. I feel bad for your group if you're the accountant!

### 3/5 — Bait and switch

*2025-08-24*

I purchased this app years ago (2022) and it was never updated and in fact disappeared from the store.  Now it’s active and updated and dev wants subscription.  My app will not work even though couple of my friends who bought same time have a working app.  Dev has not responded to email nor my review.  Developer gets a big zero.

Update:  after 2 tries developer did contact me.  Tried to make it right via promo codes etc but none of them worked.  He has graciously offered to pay my subscription with cash to me but he cannot fix the ultimate issue that the subscription update bricked it for those of us who bought it years ago.  I gave 3 stars for effort to fix even if he was not able to fix it.  It’s not worth the effort even though the app did work.

**Developer response:** Hello. Sorry about that. It should not have charged you again. That is a dev mistake. It was supposed to honor previous purchases but for some reason did not. Please contact me and I will make it right. Landon at LandonSwan dot com.

### 5/5 — What is the formula for this app?

*2026-02-08*

What is the formula for this app?

### 5/5 — Most efficient  way to settle bets!

*2024-10-17*

Easy to use. Efficient. Let’s you enjoy the golf, quickly settle bets and get on to the 19th hole!

**Developer response:** Glad you like it! Hit em straight :)

### 5/5 — Finally

*2024-10-04*

This app has saved us, we use it every week in the 19th hole to settle our bets, so easy and accurate!  Must have when you are a little buzzed and can’t do math!!  It’s priceless

### 5/5 — Love it

*2021-08-03*

Miss the banter after a round of how bad we all are at math when we did it manually.  This thing is great and super easy.

**Developer response:** Haha love it. I built it because my group needed it. Very happy that others enjoy it as well. Hit em straight!

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2017-06-16*

Why the hell have I not used this before. Turns a 20 min exercise into 30 seconds!

### 5/5 — Saving time and brain drain

*2015-05-13*

Thanks goodness. I no longer have to spend 10 minutes figuring who owes what to who after a day of drinking on the course.

### 5/5 — I'd play skins against Tiger with this app!

*2015-05-13*

I've tried new irons. I've tried GPS finders. I even tried the "cart girl special".  My friends, nothing compares to this app. 

Picture it-- a 14 handicap sticking it from 167. Friends cringing in pain as they watch a 21 ft double breaker drop for an air-press birdie doubler!  Boom...$1600 straight out of my degenerate buddies' (don't judge--I'm one too) Venmo account. That's $1598.01 profit after app cost if you ask me. 

You can't make this up...and you can't count all those skins...unless you have this app and the almost metaphysical pathological powers it will put on your next gambling golf game. 

Actually...forget what I said. I hope you don't get this app. Just let me know when you're ready for a game of $$ skins!

### 5/5 — Awesome app!

*2015-05-12*

Saves so much time after a round of complicated bets. Simple and easy to use. Thanks!

### 4/5 — Finally!!!

*2015-05-22*

Awesome app!  So easy I can't believe I just found it it!  No more waiting on the math challenged, self appointed game master to waste your precious time in the 19th hole figuring out how much he owes everyone!  Well done my friend.
