### 5/5 — Roundabout Golf Tracker

*2026-08-19, version 2.30.7*

Simply the best - all you need to know about your round and where to improve

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-08-15, version 2.30.7*

Love the way it records my swings.

### 2/5 — Stops working during game

*2026-08-11, version 2.30.7*

On many occasions the app seems to stop receiving signals from the Apple Watch.  Net result is you are missing 6 to 8 holes a score. Sometimes it catches up and loads afterwards.

Have followed Support recommendations and makes no difference

### 2/5 — Was great until now

*2026-08-10, version 2.30.7*

Loved this app and recommended to everyone, until recently when I got a new phone and i guess the newer ios or version of the app suddenly took away a lot of the features that were available with the free version so it’s kind of useless now except for distances. Will be using a different app from now on

### 3/5 — Issues

*2026-07-24, version 2.30.7*

Im having issues with the free version, the watch and phone are not on the same hole. And question, at my golf league we sometimes start on the last 2 holes of 18 with 3 course choices. Is there a different way to put in the course other than exit and starting again?

### 2/5 — Not what I expected

*2026-06-04, version 2.30.7*

This app sucks the life out of the game. It is not intuitive and wish I had not subscribed and thrown away $60. The only thing I like is the watch portion of the app which does provide fairly accurate distance to the pin and the only reason I gave it 2 stars. It limits the clubs you can play and track which is ridiculous. I'm sure this app was developed by an online gamer or a data analyst and not a golfer. O was hoping for something much simpler. I spend times between holes trying to enter my last fairway info and it is inaccurate most of the time. This isn't for the average player looking to get basic info on your game. This is for the serious player who wants to spend his time on course with their face in the app and missing out on the experience and enjoyment with friends.

### 5/5 — Great with Apple Watch

*2026-05-30, version 2.30.7*

I’ve been using Roundabout for 3 years.  I think the watch interface works well.  I probably clean up less than 6-7 shots per round.  I use the birdie version and like seeing how Ive been playing a hole.  It does help with strategy to see when I score better from. Be

### 2/5 — Inaccurate par listing

*2025-12-30, version 2.30.7*

The listed pars for holes at Shadowmoss Golf Course in Charleston, SC are incorrect.

### 4/5 — Ventura Golf Club

*2025-11-25, version 2.30.7*

Love the app, just needs an update for the course.

### 5/5 — Roundabout Golf Tracker

*2025-10-02, version 2.30.7*

Simply the best
