### 3/5 — Does not work with iwatch

*2017-04-09*

Looks cool.  But what's the point, if you want iwatch support.

### 1/5 — Reasonable Idea - lacks accuracy

*2016-02-27*

I tried out this golf watch app but was disappointed with the accuracy of the distances displayed. On my home course (where I also live) the tee distances were off by as much as 30 yards. And on a new course I played this week, the distances displayed matched neither the score card nor either of the 2 other GPS devices in our foursome. Both of the other devices from separate manufacturers were in agreement. 

Don't waste your time on this app.

### 5/5 — Free!

### 5/5 — Rochester Golfer
