Awesome App
Great App! I wish it was compatible with Apple Watch to get distances and score instead of having of having to open the app everytime on my phone. I have seen reviews saying it can be done but I haven’t found a way to get it to work!
Aside from that this app is fantastic! Sure it takes a while to gain points, but none of the other apps do that and if I’m playing golf anyways, why not add another perk to the game.

Great app for golf activity
Real useful app. I recommended a couple locations and fairly quick they appeared on the map. A lot of cool features. Free spin always manages to find that last bit of momentum to land on tickets which is no surprise. Haven’t a
Had much opportunity to earn points but overall decent golf companion app and the only one with some kind of rewards system for using it.

Daily spin
Just a warning to everyone, the daily spin is the most bs thing ever i literally 30 seconds ago had it slow down to the speed that it stops at, and it kept going until it got to the 40 tickets option. I’ve had it where it has almost stopped on memorabilia or a club multiple times but as soon as it should it’ll go to the tickets or point pass. Honestly one of the biggest scams ever. And the cheapest membership is like $15. I’m switching to 18 birdies, they’ll give me less cortisol spikes than this bs. And you have to play at least 10-15 rounds of golf a week for multiple weeks if you wanna get enough points to order a club.

Great golfing app!!
Love this app. Lots of cool features and the ability to earn rewards which can be exchanged for golf gear!
Great app!!!!!
Love this app for tracking rounds and also earning tokens along the way. The constant improvements are extremely impressive and the prizes that you can redeem and win on Press your luck are awesome! Can’t wait to see what comes next! Hats off to the team behind GolfN!
Golf app with rewards
Great golf app that rewards playing the game we all love (and hate). Starting to build enough points now to get something really cool from the pro shop, which for little effort or cost to me is real value for money. Well worth a download!
Promising app
I’m new to the app, but it seems like a great community so far. It’s similar to earning credit card points for playing rounds of golf.
Free gold gear for playing golf!
I’ve not spent a penny on this app and just received my 180 dollar Cleveland wedge for just playing golf. I got lucky and got a free month of silver, however I would have gotten my club just would have taken a couple more months. I do have a friend who is doing the monthly silver pass for 50 per month and he has already gotten a lab putter and soon a Cleveland wedge.

Daily spins are a joke
Got it for the rewards. Not worth it… daily spins are clearly rigged so you only get the 40 tickets(not the same as points that you redeem). Just had one basically stop right after the tickets and it slowly clicked all the way through every other option. If you want points to redeem you need an expensive membership. Very clear that it’s way more worth it to just put that money away each month and buy whatever you want with it. Tracking is decent. Might as well just get 18 birdies at that point

Clunky UI/UX - Inconsistency with points
As a mobile app developer I can say without a doubt the UI/UX is clunky. Key actions blend in with normal visuals and are not as prominent as they should be, such as changing courses, the action button blends in with just a 2px border around it, it doesn’t stand out. It’s not as intuitive as it should be, it’s geared way more towards selling memberships than utilizing benefits of shot tracking to which it is lacking, great you can enter a score, but what’s clubs and distances. GPS is free because they want you to buy memberships, people may be more inclined to if the UI was More intuitive and functional.
Daily spins are a joke, the randomization is keyed into points passes and tickets, several videos showing different speeds and how the randomized will stop one before and then jump to a ticket or points passes, or will go consistently without stoping to one or the other. Maybe another tactic to get users to buy memberships and placebo effect of “maybe I have better chances with a membership”.
This app needs a new designer or development team lead that understands user interactions and how to make a clear action item stand out. Even just adding a white background with some opacity to make certain action buttons standout would be a huge improvement. I will say this fails the UI/UX standard guidelines produced by Apple in their development guides.

Great App & Concept - Spins Come Across Scammy
So I want to start by saying the app and concept are awesome. I’ve had a great time using it and it’s been really cool to compare the data to my Garmin. Overall, I have really enjoyed using it.
My only gripe is the spin system. While I 100% realize it is RNG and likely not predetermined in any major way other than potentially favoring memberships. However, I’ve had quite a few instances where the spinner seems to fast stop on tickets one day, and then sloooooow roll from a diamond membership to tickets today. As in this literally just happened.
It’s not so much that I am upset by the outcome, it’s random. But more the manner with which the spinner itself seemingly favors landing on tickets and clearly a difference in the speed it was spinning when it landed. Maybe this is by design to surprise you when it fast stops or slow stops on a cool item. Either way, still a dope app all around.

Now constantly crashing
Previously used without issue, now it’s been crashing immediately on opening for the last 3 days.
Mapping works well and mimics the features on many of the other apps.
Also worth noting for UK users, postage costs on the items are extremely high (£20+ regularly) which somewhat ruins it

It’s good I guess
Not a bad app to use, it does what it states I just wish it had better estimates at distance or target points but if you factor in wind slip and club it’s almost spot on. My only true dislike is the daily spin , I have recorded it quite a few times when you hit the spin button it starts off fast get slower and slower and then unless it’s gonna land on a point pass, tickets ,or the very minimum monthly subscription, it will quickly speed up to get to one of those three .. not only have I seen it, My wife uses the app and she’s seen it happen . On top of that I’ve recommended quite a few friends to use the app and they have all noticed the exact same thing.. so don’t worry about the daily spins and just use it for a rangefinder I guess

Great Golf app (but)
I would say it’s a super awesome app love the concept and still use it for a number of things the only complaints I would have is the spins don’t win anything but tickets and passes that I can’t use! Also the way you earn the points is too inconsistent! You should be able to trade in points passes for actual points!

Rewards program
I don’t how legit this app is but I do know that it gives you points for playing golf which would be insane for people like me that get 40 rounds a year. Again I just downloaded this app and don’t know if you actually get rewards but I really hope it’s legit and is not a scam

Not accurate for some courses and rigged
This app is ok, but very mediocre and deceiving. It’s like most apps nowadays where you have to spend a fortune to “win” things or get the most out of it. Definitely freezes or very slow most of the time. The free spin is rigged to land on the apps “golf cash” or “tickets” unless you pay membership. Which if you do pay a membership, then it will land on the “higher membership” tier that you can only use once. Haven’t seen anyone land on the jackpot or the items to win, like the putters, golf balls or memorabilia. Seems rigged IMO, but I guess it’s ok because you can win things it just takes forever with and without the membership.

Need the membership
They start you out with a free membership which allows you to earn a decent amount of points but it only lasts 1-2 weeks. After that you barely earn any points without paying for a membership. Even when I finally earned enough points to get a free dozen balls I was going to have to pay $15 for shipping.

Response from developer
Hi Matt. Thanks for trying GolfN and leaving a review. Just to clarify, the reward you earned was a premium dozen golf balls with a retail value of over $50. The $15 charge was for shipping and handling, not for the balls themselves. Totally fair if paying shipping made the redemption less appealing to you, but we do think earning a $50+ box of golf balls on a free membership is still meaningful value. The free tier is designed as an entry point, while paid memberships unlock faster earning rates and more rewards. That said, we appreciate the feedback.
Finally a golf app that rewards users
I’ve been using all kinds of caddie apps for a nearly decade. GolfN is the first one that is doing something new that I’ve seen in quite some time.
The GPS in the digital caddie is really good: some of the best mapping out there. They also haven’t feature-gated anything so you don’t have to pay for “plays like” or arc targets or advanced analytics.
But what’s awesome is the whole points system and social features. You legitimately want to play more golf and socialize because the more you do the more points you earn and you can convert them into all kinds of stuff.
The app is in open beta so I’m eager to see more features come out soon like GHIN sync and Apple Watch. But their initial launch has a lot to like.
