Find another app

Data entry is intuitive and helpful to dig into analysis but i can’t enter my scores on my home course as the app crashes. Worse, ive followed up with their support team for four months on this - only received one response the entire time, only saying they cannot replicate my issue.

Good App

Good for getting strokes gained info. Would be nice if it was satellite map based rather than fake map. Easier to place shots relative to landmarks that way. Also would be nice to see all tee boxes regardless of chosen tee box. Some courses have no fairway or no green which skews the data.

Putting in penalty shots seems challenging as well.

Greens autorotate when putting which is pretty annoying.

Low quality app, not worth paying for

This app is just poorly made. The software company Broadie partnered with should be ashamed.

It's very sloppy. There are typos. The tutorial doesn't load the visuals. Nothing is intuitive.

They need to go back to the drawing board. For something that costs $100/year, the quality should be WAY better. It is a bad look that they charge for an app of this quality.

I miss the old Golfmetrics

It used to be perfect. No frills, easy data entry, gave you all the insights you’d want from a strokes gained app. Unusable after the refresh. I wish there was an option to go back to the old version.

Often re-entering shots

Frequently, after finishing entering all my shots for 18 holes, I’ll confirm the submission, but when I review the data, several holes will be completely missing. So I have to go back in and enter all those shots again. Frustrating.

Doesn’t work

I tried multiple times and the app would crash after one hole. Submitted error through the app and didn’t get a response. Unable to restart the round where the app crashed and would crash when “edit round” was selected.

App malfunctioned before I even got it set up!

You know it’s a bad sign when you can’t even get logged into the app the first time. I went through the initial part of putting in my info, name, email, etc. Then the app freezes and won’t let me tap “get started”. I got the email from golf metrics welcoming me. So I close out the app and go back in and log on. It takes me back to putting my information in, but when I get to email it says it is already in use. So I close the app and log back in. Same thing. Close the app and try to start like a new account, same thing. So I’m in an endless loop of not being able to even log in and get started. I wanted to try this app based on hearing about it on “Chasing Scratch”, but after this experience and seeing other terrible reviews since the app made an overhaul, I guess I won’t be using it.

Hot garbage

More than a year ago, Broadie’s app was the best golf stats app on the planet. But it was manual numbers enrty, very old school. Then they switched to a visual entry system, and ever since the app has been terrible. I just went back in after several months, started a round and could not place my first shot on the hole. I’m done.

Tape $5 to App

Tape $5 to the app before you throw it away so that it will be worth something. Old version was great. New version is a great example of greed prioritized over functionality.

No Customer Support

I have used this app, and its predecessor for years and up until a month ago it was awesome. Unfortunately when I logged in last month there appears a paywall that doesn’t work no matter which option I selected. This has made the app unusable. I’ve reached out via the app and instagram and utilized the help menu but haven’t gotten a reply in 5 weeks. I can still see all my data but can’t enter new rounds. It’s very surprising as the response time used to be excellent.

Great comeback!

This app is back! It was down and out after trying to be fancy and cool with its gps features. It’s now rock solid. Manual data entry is easy and quick and great breakdown of results.

Can’t get past Start Improving button

Just straight up broken

Stability Improvements

The stability recently has been great as of a few weeks ago. Before, this the app was very unreliable for what seemed like a year. Now, there are no more crashes and good updates to the all skills tab when looking back at rounds adding up and down stats and further categorical stats. Thank you for the effort!

Crash City

Since the update about July 1, the app is unusable. Crashes on startup every time.

Impossible to use

This app made me lose faith in humanity. How could they decide to release this garbage? Strokes gained can and should be incredibly simple. Why are we forced to bring aware of the existence of this monstrosity of an app?

Gave it another shot

Used to use this app all the time. Gave up on it after they updated it to the new map layout style. Gave it another shot today, still buggy (lists the 4th hole at my course as 900K yards long), and just crashes. Real a shame because I really liked it before. Will not renew again.

How many 1-star reviews will it take?

This was a great old-school app that worked because of its simplicity. Data entry was straightforward, data analysis was truly amazing. Yes, it was geeky and the app needed a fresh look, but not this!
This monstrosity and disaster of an app needs to be completely re-thought. The Golfmetrics people are smart people. How did they think this was an improvement when so many things went sideways?
It’s both embarrassing and sad. A great, amazingly functional app has been ruined.
How many 1-star reviews will it take before they lose their devoted data geeky followers to other competitors?

Terrible now

This used to be a great app. The new updated version is basically unusable. It crashes all the time. It won’t load. Basically you waste 15 minutes restarting, closing the app just to look at the data. Do not purchase.

App Crash from Scorecard Screen

If i click into any latest round, then click a hole from the scorecard, the app immediately crashes every time.

Disappointing

The original app was basic but worked efficiently and provided all the info you need. This version of the app is clunky and crashes every time I use it.
