### 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.

### 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.

### 4/5 — Stagnant

*2025-08-12, version 2.30.7*

Great product and excellent auto shot tracking using an Apple Watch but if you have a query or support issue expect to wait several weeks before you get a response. Feels stagnant when you see other apps constantly working to add new features.

### 4/5 — A Great App with Great Potential

*2025-04-14, version 2.30.7*

I’ve been using this app for around a year now and I love it. It’s helped me improve my game and the range finder on the Apple Watch is invaluable.

A few features feel unpolished such as recording shots on the green, and it also thinks I’m using a lob wedge when I’m 200 yards away from the pin… I look forward to seeing it improve in the incoming years.

### 3/5 — Pretty good, easy improvements needed

*2024-09-21, version 2.20.8*

I had high hopes for the app and overall I would say it’s “good,” but lacking in easy areas. This review is after only 1 round so keep that in mind. 

What is needed, and somehow lacking, is a simple “add shot” button!!!! I like the “+” it gives you when it thinks you hit a given shot (I don’t have an Apple watch), BUT ONCE YOU SAY NO to that suggested shot, it’s gone and can not be added again. WHAT?? I found this extremely frustrating time and again. So my suggestion is, never say no, just say yes to the suggested shot areas and move the shot to the spot you hit it from. 

But developer team, come on!! So simple, so needed, would make user experience so much better. Maybe a simple long hold adds the “ + “ and you can edit from there. 

A couple other areas I found to be buggy. Twice it had me for 1 more stroke than I scored and it refused to let me take it off? When I tried to use the rolling score feature to roll down to lesser #, it told me I had too many strokes GPS-ed ….. so then I went back to where it showed all my shots and it wouldn’t allow me to take it out?

### 3/5 — Decent App But Much Needed UI Improvements

*2024-08-15, version 2.20.8*

I use a lot of golf apps out there and found this one to stand out most with its unique hole history data and graphics. The process of entering club data could be tedious and at times distracting from the actual game. I have done away with it by using smart sensor to detect clubs data but I still occasionally use the app because of the history function. However, I am quickly losing interests with no major updates and the dated UI could use a major facelift. I am hopeful that these will be done in due time. For that reason, I would recommend holding off on the subscription.

### 5/5 — Best golf app

*2024-07-28, version 2.20.8*

IF you like stats and don’t like to fiddle about entering the data this app is perfect.  The AI/Apple Watch usage is excellent. 
Love the post round output and the visualisation is perfect.

### 2/5 — Recent update is buggy

*2024-07-18, version 2.20.8*

This app worked perfectly until the recent update a couple of days ago. Now the app keeps aborting when trying to edit a completed round. Please fix.

### 2/5 — Just want simple distance. Maybe once becomes easy will move on to more paid options.

*2024-07-11, version 2.20.8*

Need 1 year of simple free distance to hole and Then may buy more options

### 5/5 — Best Apple Watch app

*2024-06-08, version 2.20.1*

Starts automatically or manually. Simple to use. Gives useful info. Easy to advance holes on your wrist w/o having to fumble looking for phone. That is the best feature. I’ve tried others but this is easiest to use.

### 3/5 — Not as easy as it makes out

*2024-06-04, version 2.20.1*

I’ve tried this and although works well tracking (some) shots it becomes hard to use if you forget to record the shot with no obvious way to go back. Once you enter a score it guesses where you took shots if missed and often wildly out. Although can be corrected after the game, I find it difficult to do so and don’t bother. I have been wondering to upgrade to a paid version but don’t want to commit if it doesn’t help these issues.

### 4/5 — Worked great until…

*2024-06-01, version 2.20.1*

This app worked well until it changed to Roundabout. Note when looking the round summary or hole by hole the app crashes. Looking at the scorecard seems to work fine. Maybe just an update is needed. The Apple watch function is great, yardages are spot on.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — 1st use

*2025-04-04, version 2.30.7*

Not easy and could finish as exit on watch ended round on eight hole. No way to get back in

### 1/5 — Scoring.

*2024-08-27, version 2.20.8*

Doesnt mark your scores on Apple Watch.

### 1/5 — Version française

*2024-04-08*

Existe-t-il une version en Français et si oui comment la télécharger ? Merci

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2024-04-01, version 2.14.17*

Can’t load the courses!!

### 1/5 — Worst App Ever - No Way To Cancel

*2023-11-13, version 2.14.17*

This app is a ripoff. They take your money then give you no way to cancel your auto-renewed subscription. Their office is group workplace. Buyer beware.

### 1/5 — Impossible to cancel

*2023-10-14, version 2.14.17*

Be careful when you subscribe - there is no place to cancel from getting auto charged a renewal - not in the roundabout app… the Apple App Store or iTunes.

### 1/5 — App locks when you play

*2023-10-12, version 2.14.17*

Lose time with this app which locks on watch

### 1/5 — Convoluted.

*2023-08-22, version 2.14.15*

Even though I have a subscription (par) some score cards can be signed and others not. Wednesday Thursday Friday?  App prompts to upgrade to sign cards. Then the sync between watch and phone is mediocre at best. Canceling membership and trying something else.

### 1/5 — Very difficult

*2023-08-22, version 2.14.15*

Difficult in every way.  Shot tracking is poor, editing is poor, order of operation to add a penalty stroke (it just deletes shots).  Just very frustrating waste of my money.

### 1/5 — Too complicated for me

*2023-08-19, version 2.14.15*

Im a high handicapper and have been using a Garmin Venu for yardages for a few years but wanted to change to an iwatch. This app came out well in reviews but I just find it too complicated and a nuisance that I have to take my phone on the course and have to keep entering my score to be able to move on. Also while my regular course is included there are only options for white and yellow tees but not red. Shame.

Love the way it records my swings.

### 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
