### 5/5 — Fitbit was always Better than Apple Watch-Golf4Watch makes Fitbit lead even bigger

*2026-05-11, version 3.1.8*

Love this app for my rounds of golf.  Does exactly what you need for your game from distance estimates, scoring and other tracking.

### 2/5 — Help.

*2026-05-04, version 3.1.6*

I get error that it’s not in correct format. Can anyone tell me why?

### 1/5 — So many challenges

*2026-03-07, version 3.1.6*

Watch app was clunky and inability to correct during a round.  I tried a number of times when playing with different settings, and could not get the right hole,the right score.  Love the idea.  Hate the implementation.

### 5/5 — Works great on Apple watch

*2026-02-25, version 3.1.6*

Simple and precise on Apple watch. In addition, my golf club was not referenced in the database, I was able to implement the course information on the website with the help of the very responsive developer. And here again it works very well.
[UPDATE 2026] Still as functional two years after the first use. Again the possibility to modify the courses thanks to the great responsiveness of the developer. This allows you to have a specific golf application on Apple watch without having to have another means of measuring distances and recording the shots played. I say it again, this application is perfect!

### 1/5 — Michael Gasparini

*2025-05-27, version 3.1.6*

Terrible app also cannot cancel subscription. I’ve tried multiple times to cancel. I’ve emailed, I’ve googled how to. Nothing works. They will likely get $1 a month from me for the remainder of my life.

### 5/5 — Top App, super Support…

*2024-11-10, version 3.1.6*

Der Titel sagt alles :-)
Der Entwickler reagiert super schnell, um Fehler zu beseitigen. 
Ansonsten hat mir die App doch schon sehr geholfen, um mein Spiel intelligent zu verbessern, Vorschläge für eine Schlägerwahl zu machen. Insgesamt super gelöst…. Vielleicht nicht so extrem Feature geladen wie Konkurrenz-Apps, aber „keep it simple stupid“ hilft auch.

### 3/5 — Loved it but.,,

*2024-10-22, version 3.1.2*

For the last 6 weeks
Or so the app drops out of The round and I have to restart. Annoying it no longer stays in the round.  Was great, now, not so much

### 4/5 — Great but..

*2024-09-17, version 3.1.1*

Love the app. Used it on a number of courses. Very accurate. But how do you change the hole?
It’s fine when I’m starting on 1, but sometimes we start on 10. It does not recognize where I am and I can’t get it to 10 or wherever I am.

### 5/5 — Superb

*2024-07-25, version 3.1.1*

This app is fantastic. I have used Arcoss for a couple of years, but this app suits me better. All the information you need hole to hole. So affordable, reliable and great support.

### 5/5 — Awesome app!

*2024-07-04, version 3.0.7*

I had been scrolling through all of the watch apps in the  App Store and watching videos but every app was bloated with club selection; videos of the course; score keeping etc etc.  All I wanted was an app to see the distance to the green &/or the hole.  FINALLY I found this app!  You can have all the bells and whistles but you can turn them off to get a rangefinder on your wrist!   Thank you!
