### 1/5 — Bad app

*2025-08-15*

This app just crashes every time I try to update a course. Haven't been able to update in over two years and now my Golf Buddy is 25 yards off half the time. From here on out I am using a cheap app on my phone and a range finder.

### 1/5 — W12 not supported

*2025-06-14, version 2.0.24*

Why is the Aim W12 ( newest version of this watch) not supported by this app?

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-06-05*

This has to be one of the worst app/device combinations I’ve ever used. I have the AIM W11 watch model and it’s cumbersome to update courses. Also, I can’t even get the course search function to work half the time, so I can’t load courses before I arrive.

### 2/5 — Limited use app

*2024-06-20, version 2.0.24*

I love the wristwatch gps. The app is disappointing. I assumed that it would record scores and steps, but it doesn’t seem to do that

### 1/5 — Won’t connect to iPhone 15

*2024-05-19*

Works great with iPad. Connects to W10 immediately. Won’t connect at all to iPhone.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2023-11-24*

I keep getting a “Server error.” message when I try to login, and this means I can’t download a course to my GolfBuddy aim W11 GPS watch

Quite frustraing

### 1/5 — W11, no casting

*2023-10-10, version 2.0.24*

Not a lot going for this app. No casting feature and Apple phones not supported.

### 1/5 — GOLFBUDDY voice 2S +

*2023-10-08*

Just spent 90 bucks on this and it will not sync to this app and not compatible ? I can, however, install the latest ridiculous download to my laptop, only which it doesn’t sync there either or connect correctly. This thing is worthless. Do not trust it running in the background on my laptop being connected to the web globally ! No, thanks to many hacks could get into my laptop
Too glitchy, but the GPS is accurate !  If it is compatible post the instructions to connect it

### 1/5 — Aim W12 doesn’t connect

*2023-08-29, version 2.0.24*

How does a company biting out a new watch in their range and yet has not set up the infrastructure to use it to its full potential? Looking to return my watch now

### 1/5 — Why

*2023-04-19*

Why is this app still in the store if it no longer works?
