Frustrating . ### 2/5 — App doesn’t live up to TROLLEY *2025-05-14, version 2.3.5* Great to keep the score on course but if you make a mistake you cannot correct scores or fairways / greens hit post round. Pretty poor compared to every other app out there. ### 2/5 — Hopeless *2025-03-31, version 2.3.2* No matter what intent I cannot get me trolley to update nor can I pay the subscription for the hole view, so annoying. ### 2/5 — Bluetooth *2025-03-10, version 2.3.0* My trolley S5 fails to find my iPhone, worked well for years but l think Motocaddy app update has caused problems 🤬 ### 4/5 — Excellent app *2024-10-25, version 2.1.0* Have used the Motocaddy app for over 2 years and find it very accurate. Wish it would work with Apple watch but apart from that it’s an excellent app and free to use. ### 1/5 — Can not save score card!!! *2024-06-12, version 2.1.0* You close the app… and loose your score card… begin to strongly regret my M5 GPS buy… need to spend 60$ for having my score with the performance pack? Somewhat ridiculous… ### 1/5 — No Support *2024-05-01, version 2.1.0* Sent a couple of support requests, no response. No point in giving an email link if nobody is behind it to action. ### 1/5 — No longer supports Apple Watch *2024-04-07, version 2.1.0* Used to work fine with Apple Watch but not available now ### 1/5 — No longer workable *2024-03-21, version 2.1.0* Useless now, have to keep deleting & reloading ### 1/5 — M5 Motocaddy *2024-03-17, version 2.1.0* I have to delete the app and download and reload every time I use it with my new trolley.☹️ ### 1/5 — What’s wrong with App *2024-02-17, version 2.1.0* So bought an M5 connect which uses this app to connect to for pin and distance etc. I might has well have bought an M1 as to connect to this app is really difficult. Out of 10 games I’ve used the trolley, I’ve managed to connect the app twice. The connection between the phone and the trolley is ok as it comes up every time, but trying to get the app to work is a complete waste of time. Not sure why, but I’ll never buy another Motocaddy again and this is my third one. If Motocaddy are going to expect players to use their app, then surely they can get it to work 99% of the time. I could have saved myself a couple of hundred £££ and the stress of knowing whether I can use the trolley for my distances or not. Feel very let down ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — Rounds don’t save *2025-12-02, version 2.3.9* Can’t save my rounds and CPR button has vanished?? ### 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. ### 1/5 — Poor Service *2025-03-14, version 2.3.0* Have requested an update on course I play for several weeks now including sending an email with pics and nothing back. It has basically rendered the GPS worthless on the trolley. Basically would have been better just going with a standard remote trolley. Hopefully somebody sees this reviews and reacts. ### 1/5 — Terrible App *2025-02-14, version 2.1.0* Never again will I purchase a Motocaddy GPS, the software is terrible and unable to link with the site. ### 1/5 — Fails to connect *2024-10-04, version 2.1.0* Bought a new trolley in December, was sketchy getting the phone to connect and pair. Now the app won’t connect at all, just the whirling ball. Use the app as stand alone is okay but having bought a gps model trolley I would expect it to work. ### 1/5 — App Bluetooth connection appalling *2024-08-10, version 2.1.0* Connection between the App and Trolley constantly drops, and now won’t connect at all. Was intermittent until a few weeks ago; now the ability to connect has gone. The benefits of the M5 are seemingly reduced and not worth paying the extra. ### 1/5 — Poor App *2024-07-25, version 2.1.0* I just bought the M5 GPS. It GREAT on the course in my experience BUT the App is rubbish. - you can’t show the entire round on one screen, not even 9 holes - it shows on the summary page Fairways hit and greenhead, but even though I entered the data, the overview per hole shows an X at every hole - Doesn’t seem to be any aggregate analysis information overtime…eg progress in the last month, this round compared to last round. Basic stuff you see in may apps I’m disappointed…. Given the success of the product itself, this software backbone needs to quickly and urgently be brought up to par (no pun intended). It wouldn’t seem to me to be an expensive upgrade as all the data is there. I would also suggest to have a ‘cancel y/n’ step on the cart after hitting ‘Clear Round” ### 1/5 — Sue *2024-07-18, version 2.1.0* I paid £49.99 for subscription and now will not update. Been on to technical support 3 times. Still no joy. I have asked for a refund. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 ### 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. ### 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. ### 5/5 — Simple and effective *2024-12-13, version 2.1.0* Functions included that are paid for in other apps. ### 5/5 — Great app. *2024-12-13, version 2.1.0* Works as expected. No complaints from me. ### 5/5 — Easy to use, clear maps. *2024-09-30, version 2.1.0* I’ve found this free version to be an excellent GPS system. It’s simple to use and visually clear. ### 5/5 — Wonderful & colorful app, totally free, no ads *2024-06-06, version 2.1.0* I've used this app for years. I can't believe there aren't more reviews. It's a unicorn--a fully free golf GPS app that doesn't spam you with email, doesn't ask you to create a membership, doesn't have expensive upgrades for full functionality, and doesn't invade your privacy. The app itself is accurate, has every course I've played (even my new home course in the country I moved to), and it colorful and nice to look at. It's not even that hard on the iPhone's battery. ### 5/5 — Pairing Fixed *2023-12-10, version 2.1.0* Pairing seems to have been fixed now, can use trolley as intended ### 5/5 — Does what it says on the tin *2023-05-27, version 2.0.9* Works well had no trouble at all on either my phone or my trolley if I had anything to ask is that it worked on my watch as well so when I’ve not got my trolley I don’t have to rely on my phone but apart from that works just fine --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
