Is this in the plan? ### 3/5 — Issues with new iOS update *2024-11-29, version 2.3* As above. Crashes ### 4/5 — Good app *2023-03-04, version 2.3* Il faudrait développer l’appli pour Apple Watch ### 1/5 — Outdated *2022-08-10, version 2.3* App doesn’t have all the courses, and there is nowhere to update ### 1/5 — Buggy App *2022-07-17, version 2.3* Slow and crashes during a round losing all data! Buy a Garmin! ### 2/5 — Stops working *2022-07-08, version 2.3* Stop periodically for no reason ### 4/5 — Apple Watch support *2022-03-31, version 2.3* Would be great if Apple Watch integration was available ### 1/5 — App version update *2021-12-28, version 2.3* How much longer do we have to wait? If it’s an other year or 2 say so!!! Don’t just be blabbering “soon, soon!” If it’s not true!!! I think even the cheapest app developers would have had results by now!!! ### 3/5 — Great app when it worked… *2021-07-29, version 2.3* App worked great until I changed my login credentials and never was able to use it again. Wasted $30 because customer service didn’t get back to me. Good app, a little buggy, but poor customer service. ### 1/5 — Freezes during play *2020-10-02, version 2.3* Since iOS 14 was released this app started freezing while on the course. I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app several times. Frustrating. ### 1/5 — GT2 *2020-07-18, version 2.2* Been working with the Tech support for a few months to figure out why the app and GT2 unit don’t work. Mostly just excuses and not much action. Multiple tickets submitted with slow response or just additional requests for info. Don’t bother. ### 2/5 — Can not connect *2020-06-13, version 2.1* I get to the course and try to get the app to connect to the internet and sometimes it works but most times it doesn’t, there’s a clear sky and other sites on the internet are working So it’s very frustrating to pay for something you can’t count on. ### 1/5 — Simply doesn’t work *2020-05-30, version 2.0* I was looking for a mobile app to replace my garmin golf gps device. I thought I’d try Sky Caddie. But at the golf club that I play at there is no mobile coverage like many in Devon. So all I see is Sky Caddie needs an internet connection to work. I guess no download of courses in advance then. App deleted. ### 4/5 — No Apple Watch option *2020-05-12, version 1.12* Good but doesn’t work with Apple Watch unlike other apps ### 4/5 — Needs an Update *2020-05-11, version 1.11* Love the app, but you have to restart the app each time the phone comes out of “lock mode” .... hugely inconvenient. Are there any plans to update/support this app or have we seen the end of this version as we did with the previous one? ### 1/5 — Won’t work with newer iPhones *2020-04-30, version 1.11* I have a iPhone 11 and for a year now app has not worked correctly. Once idle for no more than seconds it goes back to you having to pick course and hole. Waste of time ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Do not recommend *2026-04-06, version 3.5* App quit working before subscription expired. It will not load any course. App is now useless. Tried to get help thru listed phone number. I was told app does not work thru Apple iPhone 16. The service was of no help ### 1/5 — Do not recommend *2026-03-21* App quit working before subscription expired. It will not load any course. App is now useless. ### 1/5 — iOS app doesn’t work keeps crashing every time *2026-02-15, version 3.5* App continues to crash every single time even if you reinstall multiple times and power on and off your device multiple times ### 1/5 — Wasted my time *2025-06-19, version 3.3* This app is not capable of properly saving my dexterity. No way it’s gonna be beneficial for playing golf. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-07-28, version 2.3* Downloaded this app after years of using a handheld SkyCaddie that eventually went end of life. Couldn’t get this to work at all - screen kept freezing on me so reverted to a different app. I will be asking for my money back ### 1/5 — Sky caddie mobile upgrade *2024-06-18, version 2.3* Was offered the app on a promotional rate of 18.99 but was charged 22.99 cannot get a reply from the App Store ### 1/5 — Avoid *2024-05-01, version 2.3* Conceptually a good idea but execution was poor. Garbage app. Canceling after one year. ### 1/5 — No update in 2 years… *2023-04-30, version 2.3* Doesn’t work, support promised an update for over a year. It never came… 👎👎 ### 1/5 — App crashed *2022-12-16, version 2.3* Can’t login in or use the App. Worked great for several years ### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY! *2022-12-11, version 2.3* the app may work for a few rounds but it will fail on you. This has happened to me multiple times. Please learn from my mistakes! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Works Great *2026-02-09, version 3.5* I recently used this in South Florida. I had no issues. If you have pin sheet you can add hole locations. Pretty neat feature. ### 5/5 — Thank the lord!!! *2025-03-03, version 3.2* Finally after 4 years an update to the app! My membership was up this month and I planned to cancel. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw an update. I used it on the course today and was very impressed with the new features in the app, HUGE improvement! SkyGolf you may have just saved yourself a few customers. I’ve been one since 2010 and had given up… ### 5/5 — Apple Watch *2021-07-22, version 2.3* I really like this app and would like to have it on my Apple Watch as well. ### 5/5 — Great App *2019-10-01, version 1.11* I have used a sky caddie GPS device for over 5 years. A few years ago I started using the app on my IPhone instead. Just easier and works great. However, after the last update IOS 13 the app crashes after each hole, basically requires me to choose the course and hole each hole. Please fix ASAP. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Nothing to complain here *2019-09-15, version 1.11* I own a Skycaddie Touch with a Double-Eagle plan. I’ve downloaded this app on my IPhone Xr. Once logged in with my Skycaddie account, the app works flawlessly. In fact I prefer using the app on my Iphone better than using the Touch itself, because the screen is much bigger and far more pleasant to the eye. A 4 hour round uses 20-25 % of the battery and very little data. I’m very very pleased with this app ! ### 5/5 — Good App and Doesn’t Drain Battery *2017-11-25, version 1.10* I really expected this app to eat battery like crazy... it doesn’t. It only seems to grab your location when you open it up without running in the background. It’s a really good basic gps range finder that is reasonably accurate for a weekend type golfer. ### 5/5 — Great with my Linx Vue Watch *2016-07-01* Loving this app with my Linx Vue Watch. Use watch when just need green info and Phone when need more info like bunkers or water. Pair them with Bluetooth and phone uses watch GPS so phone uses half battery compared to just using phone GPS. Defo recommended! ### 5/5 — Zoom in to see targets *2015-08-26, version 1.4.2* I have used all of golf app and this is is the best. The maps are easy ton see outside innthe sun and being to zoom in on a hazard to find distances is really cooil ### 5/5 — Keep the improvements coming! *2015-08-26, version 1.4.2* Well done on adding new features the app keeps getting better and better... ### 5/5 — shot tracking *2015-08-25, version 1.4.2* The new shot tracking feature is cool. It shows me how far I hit each shot so I can better plan club decisions. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
