It is over priced but I wish I could get it ### 3/5 — Swing Coach *2026-06-20, version 1.7* when is the AI swing coach going to be available that was the only reason I got the app ### 1/5 — Does not support Apple Watch *2026-04-19, version 1.4.0* You know how many more people like kids you could get to use this app if you allowed Apple Watch but you don’t so 1 star ### 1/5 — Sort your Content *2026-04-01* Hi Guys, used to love watching your content and was great but now it’s just this app. It’s not even good as well. Having to spend £100 a year for an AI caddy is ridiculous. You’ve ruined your channel by reposting this app on your channel instead of giving good content. Don’t get this app and just use 18 birdies **Developer response:** Thank you for the candid response. We'd love the chance to make it right. Email us at support@getscratchai.com and we'll sort it out directly, whether that's a refund or walking you through getting more out of the app. Thanks again for the early support of the channel. ### 1/5 — Paywall *2026-03-14, version 1.4.0* Makes you have to pay 18 birdie dont do that way to get me into the app ### 1/5 — Payment *2026-01-18* First it asks for all details like normal ones like what clubs are in your bag and how far they go and stuff then it has the audacity to charge me 100 quid per year to use a caddie like you can get Scottie’s caddie for that much 18 birdys is 100% better **Developer response:** Thanks for the honest feedback - We offer a 14 day free trial, so you can use the caddy with your full bag dialed in before paying anything, and cancel anytime during the trial at no cost. If you want to give it a proper go or had any trouble with the trial, email us at support@getscratchai.com and we'll sort you out. ### 1/5 — Needs work *2025-12-08, version 1.3* Put in all my distances and the app still was telling me to hit 3 clubs more than the allotted distance required. Very generic, bad AI, this is a rip off of 18 birdies or any other GPS caddy with a cheap AI bot attached. If your gonna spend $100 + just go get arccos ### 1/5 — Waste of Money *2025-11-12, version 1.2* Extremely expensive and does the exact same thing as much cheaper options on telling what clubs to hit and when. Wish I cancelled before being charged $145 for the subscription. ### 1/5 — Bad *2025-10-20* Cannot cancel my subscription ### 1/5 — Subscription issues *2025-10-20* I signed up up for the 1 week free trial but then I could not find anywhere, how to cancel the subscription. Now it’s trying to charge my $300. Please if anyone knows how to fix this help me out ### 1/5 — No trial *2025-10-19* No trial option, right away they’re asking for a 1 year subscription. I’m not paying if I don’t even know how it works and if it’s good **Developer response:** Thanks for flagging this - There is actually a 14 day free trial included with the annual plan, so you can use the full app before being charged anything and cancel anytime during the trial at no cost. If the trial wasn't showing up clearly on your end, email us at support@getscratchai.com and we'll help you get set up. ### 3/5 — Decent App, improvements necessary *2025-10-17* App concept is very cool, and worked well in some cases. AI caddy disregarded obvious hazards (hitting over houses off the tee), did not make any adjustments for lie and obstacles (directed me to hit a 3 wood from the rough while directly behind a tree, directed me to chip from the fringe just off the green). App also had the wrong tee boxes in some occasions, resulting in being directed to hit 3 wood whereas driver may have otherwise been suggested. Overall I think the idea is fantastic, and I acknowledge that the app is new, and imperfect. Recommendations: Allow to have the lie be taken into consideration, (rough, fringe, up or down in rough, off hardpan, below feet, above feet, etc), allow user to manually move position to correct tee issue, allow for edits to club yardages after rounds (made a mistake when entering 60 degree yardage, and cannot find where to edit it). **Developer response:** Thank you for the review! A few updates for you. Based on feedback like yours, we've added the ability to provide context to the caddy on lie before getting a recommendation, so the 3 wood from behind a tree scenario should no longer happen. Manual repositioning to correct the tee box issue is actively being built and will be in an upcoming release. And on the 60 degree yardage, you can edit all your club distances anytime under your bag setup in the app settings. If you hit any trouble finding those or want to flag anything else, email us at support@getscratchai.com and we'll get you sorted. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — AI analysis is useless *2026-07-12, version 1.7.1* Telling me to hit my driver, then my SW and then make the birdie putt doesn’t really help. Lack of realism makes app a joke. ### 1/5 — Swing Coach *2026-07-10, version 1.7.1* when is the AI swing coach going to be available that was the only reason I got the app. Last posted this Jun 19th 2026 and still no response. Last repost July 10th. Still no response. Nobody is managing this app and they don’t care. ### 1/5 — Anmelde Verweigerung *2026-07-03* Mein Problem ist, dass ich die App heruntergeladen hab das Abo gekauft habe und jetzt wird mir ein Bildschirm angezeigt. Auf dem steht mit Apple anmelden was aber leider nicht möglich ist. Warum gibt es keine anderen Anmeldemöglichkeiten? ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-07-02* I took the 2 week free trial option and still it changed my card after I cancelled it right away so I only use it for the 2 weeks ### 1/5 — Swing Coach *2026-07-01, version 1.7.1* when is the AI swing coach going to be available that was the only reason I got the app. Last posted this Jun 19th 2026 and still no response ### 1/5 — absolutes Desaster *2026-06-30* Keine Ahnung ob die App was bringen könnte, ich kann sie nicht ausprobieren, da beim öffnen jedesmal das "einmalige Angebot" erscheint und ich von dieser Maske nicht mehr wegkomme. Ich kann noch nicht einmal Grundfunktionen testen. Dann bitte gleich eine App zum kaufen anbieten. So ist das nichts... ### 1/5 — Pay to use *2026-06-29, version 1.7.1* Just use 18Birdies for free ### 1/5 — Couldn’t sign in *2026-05-11, version 1.5.2* The only way to sign in and make an account is via signing in with Apple. But since I’m 12 it won’t let me, and there is nothing I can do. Would be great if they would let me sign in with Gmail ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-05-09, version 1.5.1* Would not let me continue I was very excited to use this on my next golf round and it failed on me ### 1/5 — Wish there was free version *2026-05-01, version 1.5.0* Wish there was a free version without a subscription were you could cases everything besides the coaching and still use all the other features like the AI caddy and gps tracking ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 6767 *2026-07-02, version 1.7.1* Great app love how accurate it is ### 5/5 — Must have *2026-04-14* This is an amazing app and deserves more recognition and the creators that made it ### 5/5 — Good golf app *2026-03-22, version 1.4.0* The best golf app that I have every used ### 5/5 — Beginner at golf *2026-01-29, version 1.3.3* Am already so confident with my golf game, this is helping me out BIG TIME. ### 5/5 — Best golf app *2026-01-01, version 1.3.1* The best golf app around, as a beginner it’s been super helpful and a good start to understanding golf ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-12-16, version 1.3* After putting in distance for clubs it even adjusts with the wind ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-12-08* The quality of this app has been amazing so far, the design and layout of it all is truly next level compare to others I’ve used ! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-10-16* Awesome app. Worth it even though I don’t golf as much as I’d like during the year - it keeps me improving and makes my rounds more fun ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-10-16, version 1.1* Love the guys that made it and love the app. Almost like you have tiger as a caddy giving you perfect advice. ### 5/5 — Great app, love the idea *2025-10-16, version 1.1* I’ve used this for a couple rounds an genuinely love this --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
