How about the developers listening to the feedback given. Please change ASAP ### 2/5 — Amateur Product *2026-08-13* 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. ### 2/5 — Too many frills but basics not working *2026-06-27* 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 ### 1/5 — Not fit for purpose *2026-06-22* This app should have been tested better. The old app worked much better ### 2/5 — Continues to look good but disappoint *2026-06-19* Despite regular updates/fixes, the app continues to underperform. Lagging when opening (nothing to do with my super doopa wifi), displaying a blank white screen and allowing more tha. 1 team into the same slot whilst booking team competitions, leaving both users unclear which team has been successful until after exiting. I think an app with an average rating of 2.6 needs to take that on board and fix it. It’s all very well you responding to my app review stating ‘it should not being doing that’ (displaying a white screen during the team competition booking process and allowing multiple people into the same time slot)…I know! Why can’t you do something about it as the old app doesn’t suffer with the same functionality issues. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. Please feel free to share any specific issues through the Support & Feedback section in the app. The app should not be displaying a blank screen, so any additional information would help us investigate this issue for you. ### 2/5 — Pushing spam *2026-06-11* Unfortunately this app or their admins don’t respect the notification settings. Getting unrequested push messages even though I have these turned off. I have reported via feedback. Let’s hope they take GDPR seriously. ### 1/5 — Update *2026-06-11* Just updated and the only screen I can open the explore tab, all the others are blank. I have 2 notifications but they do not work anymore ### 1/5 — Update poor *2026-06-11* Tried to update app does’t work! ### 1/5 — Update needs fixing *2026-06-11* The app has just automatically updated, the home section now doesn’t load, following the update. General usability of the app is poor. ### 2/5 — Synchronisation of handicap with WHS is not working *2026-06-11* Playing events that have direct input to WHS are not relayed to HowDidiDo app allowing the potential for disqualification due to use of incorrect handicap in club competitions ### 1/5 — New App Limited *2026-06-10* Trying to book open competitions on other course not available and now can't get access in to the old app. It's all a bit of a mess ### 1/5 — A very retrograde step *2026-06-06* Yet another update and still it doesn’t function properly. 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. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. When viewing on an iPad, you are seeing the iPhone application, which is why only a small window appears on the device. We are working on the iPad and website versions, so please check back on your iPad in the coming weeks. ### 1/5 — Absolute Rubbish *2026-06-04* The app kept freezing so I deleted and reloaded it. Now it won’t give me the OTP to sign in, after a while an error message comes up. I’ve tried rebooting my phone, deleting and reloading the app but nothing works it’s rubbish. It was rolled out before being properly tested, no wonder it’s getting so many bad reviews! **Developer response:** On Saturday 2nd May, some performance issues were caused by the Upcoming Competitions list in the app which impacted users seeing upcoming or booked competitions. This was resolved shortly afterwards and is now working as expected. We apologise for any inconvenience caused. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Spamming with junk *2026-07-29* 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” ### 1/5 — Very stressed *2026-07-07* 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 …. ### 1/5 — Five stars until update :( *2026-07-05* 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! ### 1/5 — Misleading *2026-06-30* Why does the home page show a different tee time for the same booking as on the golf page ? Highly confusing ### 1/5 — Still not working properly *2026-06-27* Still got a lot of issues Not loading Not transferring to England golf so get a penalty score Sort it out 😡😡😡😡😡😡 ### 1/5 — Triple bogey! *2026-06-26* Paid £10 for an app which is a lot worse than the free one it replaced. Literally everything is harder to do than on old version. I feel cheated! ### 1/5 — Updated App *2026-06-24* Very poor ### 1/5 — Can’t be designed by golfers *2026-06-23* How difficult is it to show who you are playing with in a tee booking? I could go on… I would advise any club considering this app, look elsewhere before committing. ### 1/5 — So bad *2026-06-23* It’s so bad they don’t even publish the review rating !! **Developer response:** Thank you for your review, and we are sorry that you feel the new app is worse. We have made significant efforts to ensure the app is easy to use, provides all the information you need, and is easy to navigate. If you have specific feedback, please feel free to reach out using the Support and Feedback section in the app. ### 1/5 — Poor app *2026-06-22* Rarely works properly without closing down and reopening. Crashes easily. My club has problems putting up the results of competitions. Poor. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Getting there *2026-08-13* 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 **Developer response:** 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. ### 5/5 — So far so good *2026-06-11* To be honest I have been impressed so far. Found booking easy and love the addition of Knockouts where you enter results and see who is next opponent. Like new look too ### 4/5 — Definite improvement *2026-08-19* 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 ### 4/5 — Long par 5 to go! *2026-03-15* Pre launch testing clearly insufficient, still reverting to old systems is the easiest way to book either times or enter competitions sadly, really think you should consider withdrawing the new app until you can ensure it actually delivers on all fronts & give everyone full & free access to the old platforms. This would at least retain your credibility. Good luck! ### 3/5 — Bar card auto top up *2026-08-13* Re-Bar Card auto top up. Can’t delete expired credit card details. Neither can I add new credit card details! ### 3/5 — It’s improving *2026-08-11* Still room to go but it’s much better than it was. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review, Ian. 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. ### 3/5 — So so *2026-06-24* The updated app is a lot better than the original, but a clear issue is that is someone else books a time and adds me in to the booking, that booking does not appear on my list of next tee times even though I can see it in the booking sheet. ### 3/5 — Bring back Eclectic score *2026-06-11* Please bring back the stats ### 3/5 — Poor App *2026-05-03* This latest update has confused me. They had an app that was starting to function (although still very frustrating you could see the direction). They have managed an update where they have taken it backwards and it’s literally 1994 dial up load speed and IF YOU HAVE PATIENCE- it then does t work- without doubt the worst app on my phone it was terrible before - but new levels of rubbish achieved **Developer response:** On Saturday 2nd May, some performance issues were caused by the Upcoming Competitions list in the app which impacted users seeing upcoming or booked competitions. This was resolved shortly afterwards and is now working as expected. We apologise for any inconvenience caused. ### 3/5 — Seems better laid out but needs work *2026-01-15* I prefer this to the old app for layout. It's new so I'm sure it will be improved over time. Two main issue points for me. 1) you can only see numbers of people entered into comps not who. 2) would be good if you could choose your own Home Screen layout I.e. remove elements your club doesn't use and add others instead. I've fed this back in the app so hopefully an update will sort both. **Developer response:** Thank you for your positive feedback. We are working hard on the app and are currently releasing weekly updates to improve it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
