### 4/5 — Great App but…

*2023-11-20, version 1.0*

Simple, easy to use, distance to hazards all easily accessible but occasionally I need to move my phone or turn my body away from the target in order to view the hole. Still, it’s good enough and I’ve deleted all other tools. I’ve tried all the most popular (based on numbers of reviews) and free golf GPS apps. Others have more features (like scoring) but this add free app gets you an accurate distance. Now, if it was only available on my Apple Watch ; )

### 4/5 — Simple yet Fantastic

*2022-09-17, version 1.0*

Great go to when getting horizontal measurements, but I wish I could choose/adjust the yardage banner font size. I find I’m having a hard time reading the screen, especially on very bright days, and yes, I have to pull out my reading glasses….
When you have that option in the settings, I’ll give it that fifth star.

### 5/5 — Outstanding app

*2022-07-14, version 1.0*

I love this app. Well done, simple and strait forward.   Seriously this is exactly the kind of app that makes having a smartphone just awesome. I was thinking about getting another range finder after mine stopped working but this app makes that not a pressing issue.

### 5/5 — Simple ... too simple?

*2021-02-03*

I gave this app 5 stars for doing exactly as designed/described. 
I was going to take off a star for not refreshing when the phone powers off, but that ended up being caused by my settings, not the app. 
Pro tip there. Lol. 

I use this app because all the popular golf apps have my course all wrong. This app eliminates the need to rely on course information. 
Very simply it can accurately supply you distance of targets as well as a very easy to use shot-distance function. 

Yes It lacks all the added features of a fully equipped golfing gps app, but in my case those apps are useless, or frustrating at best as the course information is wrong.

### 5/5 — It’s the best

*2020-11-29, version 1.0*

This is the best GPS for golf.
It is simple to use
It gets 5 stars from every user.
Try it you will not be disappointed.
