Hole19 responded to my concern!

Update - a few days after my below review - Hole19 contacted me to let me know they updated the app to include the full set of my home course tee box distances. THANK YOU! Oh - I did subscribe to the app - it is VERY useful in my on the course shot planning - especially on other courses when we are playing in competition.

Previous review
I purchased the app - used it for a year free... The one thing that BUGS me is Hole19 only shows 3 tee box choices for my home course of Heritage Hunt Country Club in Gainesville, Virginia... Not like the data is not available - the USGA app on my phone show TEN different tee box options... Please update!!!

Thanks for updating your review! We’re glad the tee boxes are now showing correctly and even happier to hear Hole19 is proving useful for your shot planning!. Thanks again for giving us the chance to fix it, and for subscribing! 💙 Team Hole19

Kleines Manko weiter

Ich nutze Hole19 nun seit einem Jahr. Äussert zufrieden. Standalone auf dem Mobiltelefon, denn Apple Watches sind mir zu klobig. Also klappe ich die Schutzhülle meines Trolleys 3x pro längere Bahn auf, lasse die Gesichtserkenumg laufen und lese die Distanz ab. Dutzendfach also. Leider vermisse ich weiter eine optionale akustische Ausgabe der Distanzen zumindest bis Grünvorderkante. Wenn man also stehenbleibt, was das Gerät eh weiss. Müsste einfach sein. Damit das nur gezielt kommt wenn man es hören will, empfehle ich das per Siri steuern zu können.

Hi! Thanks for being with Hole19 for the past year and for sharing such thoughtful feedback! It’s great to hear you’ve been enjoying the app. We completely understand how useful an audio distance option could be when playing without a watch. We appreciate the suggestion and will make sure it’s shared with our team. ⛳Team Hole19

Good app but often doesn’t pair with watch

When it pairs with my iOS watch it’s great. But the watch app often doesn’t pair with the phone app, and it won’t work without the phone. So good thing I have a range finder

Auto shot detection?

Got the intelligence. At the end of each hole it asks how many shots? That’s what I thought it was supposed to do?

Removed Features

Was a good app till they removed handicap calculations from the premium subscription - money hungry it seems

First review ever of Hole 19….love it….uae it every round….

watch bru

bru, i got it on muh watch bru. It didnt download on muh watch bru, now da app is stuck on my watch bru. I was thinking bout suin but forgot i had no money bru.

Waste of money

The app is a pig on battery. You’re lucky to get 18 holes. Then you have to drive home with a dead phone battery. It’s very difficult to use. Not intuitive at all. You waste time trying to use the app rather than playing Golf, terrible. I wasted my money don’t bother with this app.
I already reviewed this app as garbage, and it didn’t show up in the reviews. So I’m trying to gain.

Hi there, sorry to hear about the battery drain and the frustration with usability. A few quick tips: lowering screen brightness and closing other apps during your round can help extend battery life. If you let us know your device model, we can share more specific tips too. For the review not showing up, that's likely just an app store delay, not something on our end. We'd really appreciate the chance to help directly at help@hole19golf.com. 😊 - Team Hole19

Spam central

I have received unsolicited texts and phone calls about golf since joining this platform. You cannot opt out out of anything until you’ve accepted their terms. What a scam! I want my money back!

Response from developer

Hi there. Hole19 doesn't send text messages or make phone calls (we don't ask for phone numbers anywhere), so those are coming from somewhere other than us. If you can share any details about them, we'd like to look into whether something is misusing our name. You can also turn off any email or push notification from us at any time in the app under Settings, without accepting anything further. Write to us at help@hole19golf.com, and we'll help however we can. Regards, Team Hole19

Difficult to Use

Cannot find anywhere in the app how to change tees from default. I also click on track shot but it never shows the distance when I arrive at my ball. Wish I would have stuck with the free version as the pay version is not very user friendly or worth the cost

Alles wie es sein soll

Habe ein Jahresabo für 35€ bekommen. Dafür ist alles da. Ziemlich intuitive Bedienung, gute Anzeige auf der Uhr, sehr geringer Akkuverbrauch (Handy GPS und Scoring aus Option (was immer das bedeuten mag)). Auswertung ist auch gut. Weiter so!! Ob‘s 70€ wert ist für effektiv 6 Monate weiß ich noch nicht.

Hi! Thanks for the detailed feedback! It’s great to hear that you’re happy with the usability, watch display, battery consumption, and stats. Regarding the renewal: just send us a quick email at help@hole19golf.com, and we’ll review your subscription with you, so you know exactly what will be charged and when, and how you can adjust it at any time. And yes, golf is seasonal, but course data, updates, and improvements continue all year round. Keep it up! See you out on the course! ⛳ Team Hole19

Auto Zoom doesn’t work

I cannot get Auto Zoom to work whether it’s turned on or off. The automatically going to the next hole part works fine.

Works well

I find it works easy, I can find distances to obstacles and more. I use the free version but it will track drives in fairway, putts. And a little more. Tells me I am losing 3 to 4 strokes a round of to my putting…

I love this golf app

Honey bun

Shot Tracking????

GPS works fine. Scoring has issues. Shot tracking is horrendous. Recommend setting auto hole advance to off to keep score or you will enter scores on the wrong hole. Doesn’t allow combo tee selections. Tee box selection is hidden behind profile picture on second page when setting up round. Shot tracking rarely allows you to set teebox. Usually defaults to where it thinks teebox should be and is usually off by up to one hundred yards. If teebox is forward of where app thinks the teebox is, app doesn’t let you set teebox making shot tracking for hole worthless. Missed cancelling trial by a couple of hours I guess so was stuck with paying. Not worth renewing.

Great app but some features can be of more use

Great app and even the free version is very useful and has helped me break 80 for the first time. I would like to see the array distances, that can be used as an option in preview, be used during a round to see your shot distances when you are not dead straight.

Best in the US

Best tracking app available in US market and globally. Tried many. Good for tracking and as social with friends to share your round

Game changer

Superb little app, tell me exactly what I need and want to know 10/10

Awesome golf app

Love this app, so easy to use, accurate and easy to read, and works with Apple Watch.
