## What is Motocaddy GPS?

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2026-07-11, version 2.3.9*

This app is all MOST golfers need. I play with players who have hand devices and WHY I don’t know. This app tells you what you need for FREE. Distance. I really don’t keep up with other features and maybe I will later. I keep a card, but use this app for all shots. I’ve used it for over 2 years and very satisfied.

### 5/5 — Free iPhone App 5*

*2026-07-09, version 2.3.9*

Very easy to use ideal for planning where to drive for an easy approach. Doesn’t kill your battery, Apple Watch connectivity would top if off

### 1/5 — Not a happy customer

*2026-05-27, version 2.3.9*

I have been trying to get Motocaddy to update my local course for around 4 months using the in-app request feature. I’ve now sent about 5 requests and still nothing has been updated or acknowledged.

What’s the point of having this feature if no action is ever taken? I paid a lot of money for this GPS trolley, but I barely use the GPS because my local course information is incorrect.

Very disappointing customer support and service.

### 1/5 — No Apple Watch functionality

*2026-05-17, version 2.3.9*

One of the points of a remote trolley is you don’t have to keep it close to you. This renders the GPS on the trolley as pretty pointless. Why doesn’t the app link to the watch like other systems.

### 5/5 — Excellent free app

*2025-12-02, version 2.3.9*

Was shown this a few months ago and I use it all the time now. Opens very quickly and is very accurate (checked with Garmin watch and rangefinder). Fly Over function is terrific. Recommending it to all my mates now.

### 1/5 — Rounds don’t save

*2025-12-02, version 2.3.9*

Can’t save my rounds and CPR button has vanished??

### 5/5 — I like it

*2025-07-10, version 2.3.9*

I have a Motocaddy trolley but it’s the basic SE Lithium. So I just use the app on my iPhone which I attach to the trolley and it works wonderfully.

### 2/5 — Good for distance but bad for keeping round history

*2025-07-02, version 2.3.8*

Am not able to keep a record of my scorecards.

### 1/5 — Now almost unusable

*2025-07-01, version 2.3.8*

When I first got my trolley it used to connect straight away when I plugged it in at the golf course. Not anymore you can spend an hour trying to connect and all you get is the circle of death even though the trolley works it’s now just an electric trolley with no yardages. I’ve deleted the app and reinstalled numerous times and sometimes it works once but never a second time.

### 2/5 — Very unreliable

*2025-05-29, version 2.3.5*

More often that not it fails to connect . Frustrating .
