### 1/5 — Don’t buy

*2019-08-05*

Absolutely terrible. Does not give correct distance

### 1/5 — Terrible App

*2019-06-12*

This range finder shouldn’t have been approved for pay. This is genuinely a poorly designed and coded app. It’s 100% inaccurate and I would fork up a lot if money to original designers to prove to be that this is accurate at all. It’s a scam, apple store should be embarrassed for this and I will unlikely purchase from this store again. Reputation was ruined forever.

### 1/5 — Junk

*2019-04-18, version 1.2*

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money

*2019-04-13*

GPS never connects

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2018-09-30, version 1.2*

Waste of money, gps is always red.. never worked.

### 1/5 — Junk

*2018-09-21*

The gps never connects

### 1/5 — Useless

*2018-04-17*

Do not purchase this app, it seemed like a good quick way to see distances, until it said I had 3900 yards to the hole. Utter piece of rubbish

### 1/5 — Wtf

*2017-03-13*

Just got this and doesn't even load am running iOS 7.2.1 or there abouts

### 1/5 — Pure & Simple:  Worthless!

*2017-01-29*

Tried the calibration and it's still off by 12ft+.  We triangulatde our readings by staking 3 poles of equal distance, then we used a lever to ensure that when we stepped away to the side at least 6ft away, we will be in-line to the target.  The margin of error is unacceptable for practical use.  The app still requires a lot of work.

### 1/5 — This app is horrible.. do not waste your money

*2016-10-03*

Do not waste your money..,is not accurate
