Simple, Powerful, User Friendly

The only hurdle is learning how to track Strokes Gained data. Get through a few rounds with this and you’ll have a dataset most companies charge $$$ to create. This app also allows full exporting of data without a premium sub. 10/10 thank you devs and team.

Good app

Great app. Easy to use, conveys useful information for round summaries. I also like how you can enter without seeing your overall score, you have to click another button to display that. Really helping me learn some more about the game. 7.4 index.

Great App

If you are into your personal stats, this is a great app and worth the money. It does take some time to load every shot so I just use it as a baseline over the course of the year when I’m out playing by myself, especially when you are behind 2-4 golfers. Once the round is done, it shows you much of what the tour players see in their game and you know what part of your game needs improvement

Would be 5* except for major putting metrics defect

Update a year and a half later and adding a star : coming back to this app after using shotscope, arccos, garmin, and a host of Apple Watch apps (hole 19, 18Birdies, GolfPad, Golf Shot, Tangent). This app is great but now has a subscription, which I would happily pay if there was an Apple Watch version w GPS so I don’t need to be constantly have my phone out during a round. The stats reports are simple, clear, useful! The putting metrics are fixed. Still love best shots and awful shots and the green/red color coding. None of the other solutions I tried presented this useful information so well, kudos!

—————————-

This app is pretty great. I love the metrics it gives you when tracking shot by shot. I would give it 5 stars except for a major defect in the putting metrics. I track by yards, and on the green it asks you how many feet away you are. At the end of the round it saves the data and calculates the metrics. Everything is good except the putting metrics think the feet distance I entered for putts on the green are meters! So if I one putt a 12 foot putt it shows that I sank a 12 meter (35 foot!) putt. Fix this and the app is easy 5 stars, though a report showing distance by club instead of distance to hole would be really nice. As it is, you need to do math to know how each hit was, i.e., how long you drove it off the tee, or how long you hit your 7 iron, etc.

Bugs fixed

App works great now! Great for tracking stats!

Do not buy!

Update to app today. Still does not work. Can’t find location, thus making app useless. If developers would ever respond to emails, would not have to post review. But they never respond, for 2 months!

Response from developer

Hi, Thanks for your review. During the last few weeks we've had some nasty bugs in the login process, we have been working hard to fix them and we believe everything is working fine again in the last version (1.9.01). Please update the app and let us know if everything is ok! Sorry for the inconvenience!

Courses and Play Features not working

The app seems to stop working when I click on Courses and Play even with the new update. Have my location on for the app and was trying to use it for a round but it never worked.

Response from developer

Hi, we had a bug in the app that has been solved in the last version, please check again and let us know if everything works well for you. Thanks!

Golfity

Fairly user friendly app with loads of data on pro version. However, I’ve had an issue with loading scores for the last week and there has been no customer support. They Have not responded to my questions.

App not working

First stuck in authenticating, then stuck in login, now stuck in finding courses. Giving 5 stars because when there are no bugs, app works great for stat tracking. But app seems to be in one issue after another. Developer really needs to fix ASAP or people will just go to more stable app.

Use to be 5

What use to be a great app is not plagued by everyday app. Subscriptions! People started using the app and get all the data for free…. But now you have to pay even if you were here before that. Should’ve offered a lifetime subscription rate. I’ll just move on and find an app or website that offers the same for free.

App not working

App is stuck on “finding courses” and every once in a while “authenticating”. I’ve forced closed it several times and same thing happens each time. I sent an email to customer support with no response. Disappointing

Allows data export

This huge for me and really appreciate that. Ty!!

Needs some key updates

I just started using this product so overall I’m pretty happy. A few function updates for the product backlog. 1. Proximity to the hole. 2. Distance of putts made per round (you can easily pull this data based in inputs). 3. Only use driver holes for average driving distance. If driver is not selected for the tee shot do not pull that shot into average driving distance as it throws it off.

Kevin

I am really enjoying the Golfity app. I’m only 3 rounds in with this app, but the app layout is intuitive and easy to use now that I’ve learned how to navigate the various screens.

I love the way you can easily compare your strokes gained stats vs different benchmarks because this gives me added insight on where the skills differences are for instance between 5 handicap and 0 handicap golfers.

Today I may have stumbled on a potential huge benefit of this app for me, but I need more rounds played to substantiate my hypothesis. I am finding that this app is helping me to focus on the current shot at hand as opposed to thinking about how I am doing on the hole, or how my overall round is going. I honestly didn’t know what my score was on either the front or back nine today until I typed shot by shot detail into golfity. By the way, I played 5-6 shots better than my handicap and it’s only round 3 of the season. If that added “focus in the present” turns out to be a consistent theme, this app is giving me much more benefit than stat tracking.

Response from developer

Thanks a lot for your great feedback, Kevin. We're glad the app is helping you improve your golf, keep going!

Really helpful, great quality for a free app

But they need to fix “Recovery” as currently it counts the same as “Rough” rather than being more penalizing than “Sand” as it should be.

Unable to get data or connect a profile.

The app loads and then I’m unable to connect to a server or get data and I’m in an endless loop on the profile section or course selection section. When I hit play I can’t connect to a server. How does anyone get this app to work?

Terrible app

The app doesn’t work it just says getting data. No button on the app ever works, would not recommend.

Great app

Lots on useful information within the app. Would love to see “left, right, short, long” selections added to the tee balls and approach shots.

Still worth using with every round. Great insight into what area of the game you need to improve.

Response from developer

Hi, "left, right, short and long" have been added to the app, you can enter it for any shot and then you will get stats for the different kind of shots. We hope you like it!

Awesome

Great app!! Super easy to use and great for keeping track of stats. Well done.

Nice

awesome app. takes a little getting used to but once you do, it’s good to go. Terrific analysis, feedback that is in depth. well done.
