Very Poor

By comparison to previous app, this appears to be a rushed update
which simply isn’t fit for purpose. Clearly wasn’t tested ahead of launch

If it’s not broke, don’t fix it

Had to install the new app. Tried twice to subscribe both times went to bank successfully paid but app won’t recognise it- now left with no working app

Appalling

With all the reported faults, can i ask how the application ever passed your quality assurance to be released? Did you perform any kind of pre release testing? How is it that the his badly performing application has such a hold on golf clubs who still keep insisting members endure this poor application? Yesterday, all of sudden you couldn’t enter your scores post application updates!!! Then all previously booked competitions disappeared!!
In the name of Christ perform testing before release of a major software update !!

A very retrograde step that has barely improved

This was previously posted regarding yet another update and still it didn’t function properly. It stated - All golf club data and personal information lost or inaccessible at previous updates and whilst that is fixed, competitions appear and disappear randomly, members are unable to enter competitions, I’ve been dumped out of competitions more than once too. Leaderboards and results boards also appear or not depending on who knows what criteria. For a paid-for app this falls so woefully short of acceptable it should be embarrassing for the developers. It comes as no surprise that my club are looking at alternatives, paying for this garbage is an utter waste of money.

Update - our club has now ditched the app in favour of another platform as it’s performance and reliability has become totally unacceptable

Improved since last review.

Latest update has fixed many of my original reviews concerns they have still not reintroduced the eclectic gor the courses you play but it is getting better. What I would say is they have gone the extra mile to fix the main issues and even rang me to understand one of them so hats off to them for that level of service.

Spamming with junk

I’ve used HowDidIDo for years to log competition rounds and see the results. When the new paid for version landed I even paid for a subscription.
Sadly the new version seems to be more focused on spamming me with ad filled messages about stuff that has nothing to do with my golf club or me as a player, even when I turn all notifications off.
What makes it worse is I get zero notifications about the club or competition I’ve played in, which is kind of the point of the app, the clue is in the name.
Won’t be renewing the subscription and would delete if it was not for the need to use it for comps.
Yet another app ruined by “improvements”

Update. I received a reply from the developer suggesting I needed to update to the latest version. I am on the latest version and ensure all apps are kept up to date. Sadly, no better than before and still flooded with pointless drivel but never the things I want such as club competition results despite the settings being focused on those.
But always easier to blame the customer rather than accept your product is not up to scratch.
Also seem to be getting even more adverts than content since the last release. What’s the point of paying a subscription to still get flooded with ads?
Apple really needs to introduce a zero star rating option

Attestation- score verification

Scorecard attestation a shambles- still doesn’t work. Very annoying why wasn’t the app tested properly before implementation?

Rubbish

This app which we have to pay for is awful, the old FREE was and is still better. Not worth the money. Results are always 24 hours after old app no access to live scoring and booking a tee time is non existent!

Response from developer

We're sorry to see your low rating. Competition Results should be published to both apps at the same time and you should still be able to book a tee time if configured correctly by your club. Please contact us at support@howdidido.com, and we'll be happy to investigate this further for you.

Competition scores

New update and it is still near impossible to view competition scores due to text issues. How about the developers listening to the feedback given. Please change ASAP

Definite improvement

Has been well documented about the terrible older version and then the issues with the updated version but seems to have settled down and works very well for me now

Response from developer

Thank you for your review. We're glad you've seen improvements. We're continuing to make enhancements and appreciate your feedback as we work to make the app even better.

Bar card auto top up

Re-Bar Card auto top up. Can’t delete expired credit card details. Neither can I add new credit card details!

Getting there

The app has come a long way from when it was released and has improved hugely, hopefully they keep it up and continue to apply positive improvements

Response from developer

Thank you for your review, Sophie. We're glad you've seen improvements. We're continuing to make enhancements and appreciate your feedback as we work to make the app even better.

Amateur Product

This software has clearly been built incrementally over a period of time until it got to a point of being almost unusable. The new versions have been released with insufficient testing.
Clearly haven’t invested in usability expertise and to a great extent cobbled a number of functions together into a UI that actually fits on a phone screen.

Such an opportunity for somebody to build something that is usable effective and robust to compete with this product.

It’s improving

Still room to go but it’s much better than it was.

Very stressed

Over the years I’ve had to use some pretty crummy bits of software, but I can’t remember any as bad or infuriating as HDID. On the rare occasions it works it’s fine, but the number of times it fails in simple tasks is unbelievable. Initially I was prepared to give the ‘new’ app the benefit of the doubt, but it clearly has fundamental flaws, has had zero stress testing before being dumped on its users and is simply not fit for purpose. It’s only got one star as I can’t give it a negative score ….

Five stars until update :(

Used to be really great. Now its clunky, glitchy and confused. I assume someone didn’t consider end user experience and usability necessary. Its dire!

Misleading

Why does the home page show a different tee time for the same booking as on the golf page ? Highly confusing

Still not working properly

Still got a lot of issues
Not loading
Not transferring to England golf so get a penalty score
Sort it out
😡😡😡😡😡😡

Too many frills but basics not working

Frustrating in the extreme. I cannot book a round without having to divert to the club’s website. I cannot check a tee time for a comp. Pre release testing just not done. A terrible app as it stands
