What I really like: * Excellent scorecard experience: Probably the easiest and least distracting way to keep score on the course. * Great Apple Watch UX: Swiping left/right for additional information like the green view feels very natural. * Fast & accurate distances: Distances appear instantly and are so reliable that I use my laser much less. * Excellent battery management: Very impressed with the Apple Watch battery usage. What could be improved: * Cleaner UI: The overall interface could feel a little more modern, clean, and polished. * More subscription options: The current subscription is the main reason I’m still using the free version. A cheaper “Light” plan or even a one-time purchase option would be very welcome. * Crown changing the score accidentally: Using the Digital Crown to enter scores is quick and convenient, but during swings the crown can accidentally rotate and change the score. It would be great to have an option to use a button/tap instead. * Manual club tracking: Automatic swing detection can remain a Premium feature, but free/Light users could manually record a shot and select the club used. This would still allow basic club-distance tracking without automatic detection. * Quick penalty buttons: On the Apple Watch scorecard, small buttons for things like “Lost Ball,” “Drop,” etc. could make adjusting the score much faster without using the Crown. * Hazard distances: It would also be useful to optionally see distances to upcoming water hazards, bunkers, etc. directly on the Watch. Overall, Golfshot already gets the most important things right: fast distances, simple scoring, low distraction, and excellent battery life. With a few UX improvements and a more affordable Light option, it would be very close to perfect for me. ### 2/5 — Wrong Distances *2026-08-11, version 4.87* Not great. Played my first round with the app today. The distance were wrong on every single hole. ### 5/5 — Helpful *2026-08-09, version 4.87* Works as it should have trouble keeping my phone awake but overall lovely ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-08, version 4.87* I’ve had this app for years and I have all my rounds on it from the beginning. It does everything I need and it’s not too expensive ### 5/5 — Download this ASAP *2026-08-06, version 4.87* This is the best app I’ve used and I’ve been through a lot of them. The stats when you upgrade are amazing! Don’t let the upgrade price scare you, it’s on sale often! 😉 Get this, now! ### 2/5 — Not as described *2026-08-05, version 4.87* Deleting app as it does not calculate handicap. It sends you to USGA to subscribe. Not sure what I’m paying for here. Found it cumbersome to use on the course. To much time to figure it out. Cancelled subscription and deleting the app and continue search ### 5/5 — App review. *2026-08-05, version 4.87* Awesome thank you very much ### 5/5 — Support *2026-08-05, version 4.87* I have been using Golfshot for a couple of years. Recently, the course I play most often added senior ladies pink tease. It was not listed in Golfshot. I contacted them and Alicia was so helpful.. She had me send the needed information and it was updated in Golfshot within 48 hours. Thank you so much.! ### 5/5 — Please create Apple car play version *2026-08-04, version 4.87* Love this app. Now that golf carts have Apple car play it would be great to have a version of Golfshot. ### 5/5 — This is the way… *2026-08-03, version 4.87* I’ve been using Golfshot for several years, and after trying just about every golf GPS app out there, I keep coming back to this one. In my experience, it’s the most accurate, reliable, and feature-rich option available. The GPS distances are consistently dependable, the Apple Watch integration works great, the app continues to improve over time and their customer service department gets back to you quickly. If you’re serious about golf and want one app you can count on, Golfshot Plus is the one I’d recommend. ### 3/5 — Bug in “Tracked Shots” Editor *2026-08-02, version 4.87* Really liking the features of the app, considering getting the full subscription. But the Tracked Shots editor when reviewing after the round freezes the app, so I can’t review the shots or correct them. Would be great if it’s fixed because the rest of the app seems great. Two other feature requests: 1. “Post to GHIN” button to auto post the round 2. When viewing the scorecard mid round or after, click on the hole # to edit that hole. The navigation to edit a score on a hole is not smooth yet. ### 5/5 — Loving it *2026-07-31, version 4.87* Great app, it has helped me improve my game a lot. ### 5/5 — GPS *2026-07-30, version 4.87* Check the units of measure for distances: meters or yards ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No Red Tees *2026-08-13, version 4.88* It’s not working for me. I’ve asked for a refund but haven’t received one as yet. I’ve never got it to give me useful information. May be user error. ### 1/5 — Removed paid for feature *2026-08-08, version 4.87* I paid for full functionality when App was one time purchase. When they move to Subscription based model they put my already paid for features behind a paywall. Unethical. ### 1/5 — Cancelled Subscription *2026-08-05, version 4.87* I was a long term user, but this year, they increased their subscription price by 40%!! It’s no longer worth the price. ### 1/5 — Score higher *2026-07-30, version 4.87* Why is it adding strokes to my actual score??? ### 1/5 — Pure greed drove my cancellation *2026-07-30, version 4.87* I just cancelled this because they raise rates at the worst economic times by $10. Far too many great apps to keep paying such a premium. ### 1/5 — Watch function poor *2026-07-30, version 4.87* I remember the watch working much better ### 1/5 — Tracks all my warm up shots *2026-07-29, version 4.87* I used to like this app but now I spend all my time between holes deleting my practice swings. I’m better off filling out the score card manually. I’ve contacted support numerous times only to be told that they have fixed the issue. Nope! I’ve updated the app, done everything they suggested, and still, it records so many swings that it shouldn’t, and frustrating my play. I sure hope they get their act together, because I have another year of this mess before I go to another app. ### 1/5 — Too Much Advertising *2026-07-27, version 4.87* I upgraded to one level, and lo and behold I keep getting messages to upgrade further, which I find particularly annoying! I just want to play golf and get yardages and fill in a computerized scorecard! Before I was able to keep it on my watch, but that has changed for some reason! I will not be renewing my subscription when it expires. I’ll find a simpler and better alternative!!! ### 1/5 — Stick with Garmin *2026-07-24, version 4.87* I found this app too confusing and difficult. Support is non-existent and you get no reply to your emails. I am going back to my Garmin Approach. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work for me *2026-07-24, version 4.87* I have the pro version. Tried it for five rounds now. Recently it was updated to include automatic putting tracking. Scores cannot be edited on the watch, if a shot is not recorded it needs to be adjusted on the phone. Bottom line, the app doesn’t automatically record the number of shots and putts. Last round I had 48 strokes including putts for 18 holes on a par 71 course. The score is also recorded as plus 8??? So I have to manually adjust on my phone as I go round. That’s not what I had in mind at all. I may persevere but I need it to be easier than this. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 3 Years now *2026-08-22, version 4.88* App has been fantastic to use and very easy to use and/or to adjust your score/shot/club. ### 5/5 — Handicap Canada *2026-08-22, version 4.88* It would be fun to be able to get an handicap in Canada ### 5/5 — Such a great app *2026-08-20, version 4.88* This is very dependable app ### 5/5 — Texas Par 3 *2026-08-14, version 4.88* Great day ### 5/5 — Golf Shot app *2026-08-13, version 4.88* Very helpful ### 5/5 — Great Golf App!! *2026-08-12, version 4.88* I just started golfing again and Golfshot is making my comeback much easier and fun. I haven’t used all the features yet but I’ll slowly learn as I play more. ### 5/5 — Amazing Support *2026-08-12, version 4.87* Just wanted to put a review out there of this great app and its support team. I’m new to golf and this app has helped me out a lot. Everything from the club suggestions, course previews to all the online contact that comes along with it. Recently I noticed that one of my local courses had changed things around and the app didn’t quite line up with it. I went into the support section of the app and started a chat with Alicia and Elena. Gave them the info. Guess what? They messaged me right back and told me the course would be updated in 15 mins and to re sync the courses. Course has been updated and looks great on the app. Amazing App, amazing support team. You got my recommendation!!!!! Thanks again ### 5/5 — best golf app with watch! *2026-08-10, version 4.87* i have been using this app for years & i believe it is the best- ive tried a bunch of others. the auto shot tracking and advanced swing ID stats sets it apart from its competitors. also the green heat maps are very helpful. customer service is super fast & friendly too (i had a couple times when needed to upload new scorecards to remap gps & both were done next day). highly recommend to serious golfers looking to keep all their stats or anyone just keeping scores. ### 5/5 — Best Golf App I Have Used Just Wish It Had One Feature *2026-08-09, version 4.87* This is the best app that I have used to keep track of my score and read yardages on the course. The only thing that would make it better would be live activities on the lock screen to show yardage and to enter your score, shots, etc. ### 5/5 — Good GPS *2026-08-09, version 4.87* Works well for basic yardages. I am not using the premium, only the free app. Basic front back and middle yardages. Courses we play have GPS already, so the app is helpful when away from the cart. One other added benefit is that it syncs with Apple Watch and Apple Health, so I have yardages on my watch and will get credit for exercise. The only drawback is that the battery on the watch gets drained. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
