The x is too close to the top phone nav. ### 2/5 — I way to cancel subscription *2022-10-15* I signed up for the subscription, but no longer want it, there is no way to cancel it in the app and they just keep charging every month! ### 1/5 — Is this developer for REAL? Horrible for new users *2022-08-29, version 1.3.11* I can not believe there is NO basic support for new users and those relatively new to the game. No, this is how you use, set-up, start from the beginning……nothing! Just a gluttonous supply of YouTube videos that are not related to new users directly. Even those that are “supposed” to help are vague and not a specific to a basic setup and overview. I DELETED this app immediately. I am trying to help the developer going forward. You need to remember that some new users are green to this game, too. I’ve been playing for a while and and still found your resources very disappointing. You assume way TOO much, and the lack of basis support is embarrassing, honestly. You need a 101 video for users going though the app from top to bottom…every category! Not a 4 minute video overview. I hope you realize a lot of your negative reviews are fixable. Take more time in making concise content for new users. I believe it will pay dividends in the end for your app. ### 2/5 — It works sometimes *2022-08-28* It will not load in the AD and will just continue to try to for minutes at a time. You eventually have to delete the app and reinstall it so it doesn’t do it anymore. it’s extremely frustrating. ### 2/5 — Don’t get it *2022-06-10, version 1.3.2* Can’t figure how to use the grid so I cabled it you need a good dummy one ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time! *2022-04-19, version 1.3.2* Can not use, crashes. ### 1/5 — Worthless *2022-01-19, version 1.3.2* Worthless when the ad locks up ### 1/5 — App not working *2022-01-03* I use the golf clash app but this app is useless. The wind calculator doesn’t load and keeps trying to push an ad but never does. For this reason I will delete this app. I HOPE IT GETS FIXED ### 1/5 — wind calculator DOES NOT WORK *2021-11-13* Wind calculator is stuck on ad loading. Is this to just get people to pay???? People would be more likely to pay if you allow this to work (try before you buy). App 101: make something that works. If it doesn’t then it will stack up the one star reviews and death to the app. ### 2/5 — Ads don’t work *2021-10-26* This app contains a lot of useful information about clubs, balls and courses, but the wind calculation function crashes when loading an ad. ### 2/5 — Can’t use it ads don’t load *2021-10-19* I have grabbed this app as I have seen it being used on you tube and see it as a good supporting app to the game. I have set up my bag and started to explore how it can be used and then hit a road block as the ads won’t load therefore I try it out to see if it’s of benefit to me. I have not subscribed and will be reluctant to do so when I am unable to test it as a free user. It would be great if this was sorted so people can try it out and decide if they want to subscribe. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Want ads? This has ‘em!! *2025-01-01* Looking for an app that isn’t up to date to match game play and forces you to watch a minute and a half of ads? Well this is the app for you!! That’s right - in less than a year’s time they’ve gone from 30 second ads to use the main feature of the app to a full 80 seconds, and growing! And on top of that, they haven’t even updated it to keep pace with the game, meaning you can’t get accurate feedback cuz you can’t input the right ball stats. The developers do a bang up job of accommodating the ads though, cuz that’s what REALLY matters to these guys - $$$$$$$$$. ### 1/5 — Not free, £1.29 monthly *2024-12-01, version 1.4.2* This only shows basic clubs. Any other club and you need to sign up to monthly fee. Gave 1star as description for app is misleading. Don’t mind all the ads if free but it’s not. ### 1/5 — Ad won’t close *2023-08-24* The x to close ads is in the extreme far right and won’t actually close. So wind charts are unavailable. ### 1/5 — Can’t get out of ads *2023-08-12* Once ad ends the little x to close is too far in screen corner to close. Can’t ever get out of ad screen. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2023-08-10, version 1.3.11* Utter junk! Can’t do anything other than watch junk ads. Waste of time! ### 1/5 — Scam garbage *2023-08-09* Developer put AD closure in far top right of iPhone screen so you can’t get to it even when you’ve earned the “reward”. AD just loops. Complete scam and garbage developer. ### 1/5 — Can’t close ad’s out *2023-08-08* Most of the ads can’t be closed out, making the app useless unless you decide to subscribe. ### 1/5 — Stuck on ad *2023-08-03* Stuck on add in the wind calculator… would never think about buying if I can’t try it out… renders the app mostly worthless! ### 1/5 — Awful *2023-05-23, version 1.3.11* Use Ultimate Golf Caddy ### 1/5 — Can you fix the app? *2023-02-26* When you launch the wind guide, it starts an ad. When it ends, you can’t close the ad and you can never use the wind calculator. Looks like this has been an issue for a while based on other reviews. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Can’t close adds - too close to top of screen *2023-03-23, version 1.3.11* Just started today after add plays the X icon is too far up and ads cannot be closed. Otherwise it’s a great app! ### 5/5 — Nice but *2022-09-18, version 1.3.11* Can you please update this app and include the meshes on iOS? ### 5/5 — A huge help *2022-06-06, version 1.3.2* Most of the negative reviews are due to issues with ads. I just pay the subscription as it is well worth the price. Make sure to watch the tutorial videos as they will show how to adjust for wind direction and distance from max. The only bummer is that when watching the Android version of the app, you realize how much functionality the iOS version is missing. This is not the fault of the dev, but the fault of iOS limitations. One suggestion would be to add the ability to quickly swap clubs in the wind calculator. UG added the ability to change out clubs mid tournament, so adding this to the app would be nice. I know you can add multiple bags, but I’m usually just swapping out one club for a specific hole. EDIT: I accidentally found out that you can swap clubs. You just need to double tap the club you have selected. ### 4/5 — Guide for UG *2025-03-23* Works really well if you set it up correctly and know how to use it. I love it - however…it needs an update! 1 example why: The power slider stops at 11 and UG now has balls with 13 power (maybe 14?) ### 4/5 — Helps me a lot with wind but needs updating *2024-03-16* I have never had any trouble with the ads on my iPhone. This app really helps me with tournaments in judging how many rings to move with wind. It needs updating though. The game has stronger balls now and the choice only goes up to 11 power. ### 4/5 — Update IOS options to match Android PLEASE! *2022-12-17, version 1.3.11* I really like the app. Use it with my UG play, but, the capabilities on Android are SO much more. Can you please update IOS to match? ### 4/5 — Great app worth the asking price *2022-09-09* Very useful app. It does exactly what it’s supposed to do. I use it with calculations I have for secondary wind effect and pulling rings uphill and downhill. I’m still not getting as many drops as I’d like but my TB is excellent. I get a lot of 899’s and 900’s. Plus all videos were very helpful when I first started. Pay for the subscription it’s well worth it. ### 4/5 — Nice but wind calculator won’t open *2021-10-01* Love the guides but the wind calculator tries to open but gets stuck trying to load an ad. Can’t get to calculator as a result. ### 3/5 — Update *2025-12-14* Haven’t had an update in years. Doesn’t have newer courses and ball powers. ### 3/5 — Ad server hangs the app in wind calculator. *2021-10-05, version 1.2.3* Please advise or update so ad doesn’t hang app in wind calculator. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
