### 4/5 — Good handicap app

*2026-05-23, version 3.1.1*

Very easy to use. Unlimited courses. Would like to calculate using my index for a specific course when competing with buddies.

### 4/5 — Simple and Easy

*2025-10-19, version 3.1.1*

Easy to add courses with the lookup database. And simple to add scores

### 4/5 — Handicap??

*2025-10-15, version 3.1.1*

How do u see your handicap

### 4/5 — Golf

*2025-04-01, version 3.1.0*

Good I had to fix it but works find I am a 6.5 handicap

### 4/5 — Easy and Straightforward

*2025-01-06, version 3.0.1*

I like that it is easy to use.  Simple and straightforward.  I had a question when getting started, emailed my question and Nick responded quickly.

### 5/5 — Amazing and simple to use

*2024-11-09*

I searched everywhere and finding this app saved me money.  I have no idea why you would pay other apps/services when this app is perfect!  Easy to use and enter your scores.  Its great to see my handicap calculation being the same as on paid apps.  I’ll support this developer because I want to use this app exclusively.  Great job to the developer.  I’ve used this app for the past two years and I can say without a doubt … it’s the best app out there to determine your handicap with the crazy ripoff prices others ate stealing from you!

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for the kind review! Glad you like it!

### 5/5 — So far so good

*2024-09-09, version 2.2.4*

Love the simplicity of the app. I’m not going to pay $65 for a GHIN account. This works out just fine and $8 a year to back up all my scores is a spit in the bucket. I’ll be interested to see how my scores save from year to year.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2024-09-09, version 2.2.4*

It’s simple, useful and free. Perfect!

### 5/5 — Works well for me

*2024-08-18*

Just getting back in the golf after many years away when the kids were little and didn’t have time. This has been awesome for me to start tracking my Handicap again. very simple to use and add courses. It would be great if the courses were already in there, but I understand that would be quite labor-intensive for the cost, $0, it cannot be beat!

**Developer response:** Appreciate the review!

### 5/5 — Handicap quest

*2024-08-12, version 2.2.4*

Great app for golfers who don’t have a regular club or league. Wish it coach to help lower my handicap.

### 5/5 — Good App

*2024-08-06, version 2.2.4*

It’s easy to use and updates your handicap in seconds. No complaints.

### 5/5 — Simple.

*2024-07-06, version 2.2.2*

It’s simple, easy and free. What’s not to like? I ain’t playing no tournaments!

### 2/5 — Simple handicap app

*2024-06-02, version 2.2.2*

I downloaded this app but it isn’t working properly as it shows  lower handicap than I have. If the developers can contact me it would be much appreciated.

### 5/5 — K.I.S.S

*2024-05-18, version 2.2.2*

KISS is something I’ve always lived by and it stands for: Keep.it.simple.stupid
Don’t over complicate things and make it harder for yourself, and let’s face it; Golf is hard, but working out your handicap is harder still! 
This app makes it easy and is a great way to track your progress as you (hopefully) see your scores getting lower and lower.

### 1/5 — Lost ALL 2025 and 2026 data after update

*2026-08-21*

After the recent update in July I lost all my 2025 and 2026 rounds. I paid for the pro plan and figured that would save all of my data. HUGE mistake. I’ve emailed the address for app assistance 4 times and have received no response. Deleted the app and reinstalled. No luck. I’m BEGGING help and no response. Don’t bother paying any money for the Pro plan since app assistance is non existent. 

I loved the app before this mess.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the review!

### 1/5 — Lost data

*2026-07-28, version 4.0.1*

Just lost two years of data.   What’s up. You charge me for this.

### 1/5 — Hcp not available

*2026-01-22, version 3.1.1*

I just downloaded this app. It says you can get a Hcp with three games….I can’t see a Hcp anywhere!  Please tell me where to look for the Hcp!

### 1/5 — Keeps true handicap big problem

*2025-03-13, version 3.1.0*

Still use it because I gave it a temp email. Otherwise it is 1 star because of daily porn spam coming in from this app. Don’t use real email and you’ll can use it. I used a one-time email and did not click an ad but if I did they should not get the email from an ad click

### 1/5 — *WARNING!!

*2024-08-12, version 2.2.4*

App allows pop-up ads that mimic part of the setup process for installing Simple Handicap. Next thing you know you get a fraud warning from your credit card company. Simple Handicap is a “FREE” app that requires you to enter your cc information with the promise not to charge you. Lesson learned and consider yourself warned.

### 1/5 — Can't find my golf course

*2024-05-14, version 2.2.2*

I want to give it high ratings but I can't find my course on their app.

### 1/5 — Free?

*2023-12-26, version 2.1.3*

If this is a free APP then why do they need my credit card number to get started? One of the first things they ask for. I’ll keep paying for my club’s USGA handicap service although I really don’t use it for any competition/tournaments.

### 1/5 — Couldn’t figure it out

*2023-01-06, version 2.0.4*

Maybe I’m stupid but I couldn’t figure out how to post a score. Not intuitive at all.

### 1/5 — 61MB

*2022-12-25, version 2.0.4*

This simple tiny app is 61MB in size!!! Isn’t it supposed to be 1MB? Must be a lot of junk packed in the app. So many ads, Google ads tracks/collects user data but the app claims “Data not collected”. Deleted it.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2022-12-08, version 2.0.3*

I inputted several rounds and now they are gone. I can’t recover them. DO NOT USE THIS APP
