### 4/5 — Brilliant

*2026-08-24*

I’ve only put 4 stars because I’ve only been playing golf around 2 years, so still finding my feet and not really confident enough to play a course on my own as I loose too many balls when I do. I found out about the app through friends, I really like the fact that it works out an approx handicap when you input your scores onto the scorecard. Will continue to use every time I play.

### 5/5 — Easy Fun!

*2026-08-21, version 26.8.18*

We’re on our 3rd or 4th year of using Squabbit for our annual trip! Makes scoring easy, keeps everyone competitive, and makes things fun to break down at the end.

### 5/5 — Awesome for golf societies

*2026-08-21, version 26.8.18*

Takes all the admin out of maintaining comp results during the course of the year, lets people track scores in a round and the stats after the round is so enlightening

### 5/5 — Best golf group game app!!

*2026-08-20, version 26.8.18*

Best golf group game app!!

### 5/5 — The Writer’s Cup

*2026-08-20, version 26.8.18*

I have held my own golf tournament for my friends after our men’s club season ends for the past 5 years. I’ve tried all sorts of paper, and spreadsheet methods for managing my outings. I found and used Squabbit last year and am getting ready to use it again in 2026. It’s end user friendly, easy to setup, and fast to render results at the tourney’s end.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-08-20, version 26.8.3*

Love the app. Wish I invented something of this high quality.

### 4/5 — Fantastic app - small tweak

*2026-08-20, version 26.8.18*

Fantastic app - needs an integration with MyEG as I’m sure there is players out there that have their handicap in MyEG (myself included).

### 5/5 — Excellent for large groups

*2026-08-20, version 26.8.3*

We used Squabbit for a 20 man Ryder cup style golf trip with multiple scoring formats. Squabbit has every format you need for scoring as well as any modifications or adjustments you can think of. It was great for organization and the live scoring really added another dimension to our golf trip. Highly recommend it.

### 5/5 — Loving the convenience!

*2026-08-19, version 26.8.3*

Our local league started using Squabbit this year. It is great being able to watch scores in real time, as well as the convenience of following along with handicaps and season standings. 5+ stars!

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2026-08-18, version 26.8.3*

My buddies and I just started a yearly golf trip. Wanted a good app that was user friendly and this app here is amazing. The live scores, leaderboards and how well everything is explained is impressive. Well done on this app and thank you for making golf trip planning a lot easier!!

### 4/5 — Bogey Busters

*2026-08-18, version 26.8.3*

Great app. Fun to see everyone’s scores!

### 5/5 — One of the best apps I’ve used

*2026-08-17, version 26.8.3*

Was introduced to this app last year for an annual golf tournament and I was blown away. It’s better than similar apps that costs hundreds or thousands of dollars. Incredible app.

### 3/5 — League use

*2026-08-17, version 26.8.3*

It’s getting there!  Made many improvements but still seems a little wonky for weekly league matches.

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2026-08-17*

Our group discovered this lovely gem of a scoring app for our golf trips and season long games. Absolutely brilliant! We used it on a recent golf trip to the Columbia Valley in BC and everyone loved keeping up to date on the scores in our matches. 
Highly recommend Squabbit if you have four or more golfers you play with.

### 5/5 — Great tournament

*2026-08-16, version 26.8.3*

It’s a great app, we ill be using it for our league

### 5/5 — Game changer!!

*2026-08-16, version 26.8.3*

Amazing app for group/society golf.  Magic.

### 4/5 — Ryder Cup

*2026-08-15, version 26.8.3*

Created Ryder cup event over 27 holes, worked a dream. Great app. GPS integration would 5 stars!

### 5/5 — Best Free Golf App

*2026-08-15, version 26.8.3*

Excellent app with great features for hosting league’s & tournaments with a live leaderboard.

### 5/5 — Best real time scoring app out there!

*2026-08-15, version 26.8.3*

Best real time scoring app out there! Keep up the good work. 

If you can make it so that a game can be configured to win either gross or net skins but not both, it would make this app perfect!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Really bad

*2026-08-16, version 26.8.3*

Incredibly cumbersome to use. Make this more user friendly. Awful

### 1/5 — Most user unfriendly

*2026-07-24, version 26.7.21*

This app needs a lot of work to make it easy to navigate. I am forced to use it but I hate how difficult to get what one wants

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-06-28, version 6.6.4*

Last year the app was pretty good. They changed it and is terrible. Half our guys can’t get into it. Constantly says duplicate user and round locked.

### 1/5 — App sucks donkey

*2026-06-19, version 6.6.3*

Will not let me put in my GHIN. Being forced to use this for a casual tournament in a couple weeks. Can’t wait to delete it.

### 1/5 — Won’t support the app

*2025-05-14, version 5.5.1*

Won’t support the app. Wants users to add their own courses.

### 1/5 — One of the BEST GOLF APPS out there if not THE Best!!!

*2023-08-12*

Our club started using it this year & it is amazing. It has just about every conceivable golf game/format/side game bets possible. Games I’ve never even heard of. The best part is it keeps track of EVERYTHING. No more keeping it on your scorecard card for every side game. Nassau’s, Match Play, Irish Rumble (a fun & different game), Nines. 😱. Anyone who has ever kept score for 9’s on there scored knows it looks like a bad math/science project gone wrong. It uses players handicaps, allows for %’s. Knows which holes to give it & adds all the points up as you go along. For the nines alone it is amazing. Give it a try it’s amazing & you won’t be disappointed. And yes the App owner/developer responds quickly to all questions. GREAT JOB, Keep it free.

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed review! Glad you're getting use of all the functionality. There's tons more to come too.

### 2/5 — Not intuitive

*2026-08-14, version 26.8.3*

Tough to use out on the course

### 2/5 — Good, not great

*2026-04-11, version 6.4.2*

Excellent when you can get everyone on the app. I don’t think they understand some people want it to be easier. When starting a round or tournament, please implement a scannable QR code, so I can just pass around my phone to the group and get the round going

### 2/5 — Confusing

*2026-03-26, version 6.3.7*

Confusing app

### 2/5 — Unfair to social golfers

*2025-09-20, version 5.9.2*

Squabbit fails to consider that for social golf clubs not all players have 20 rounds and therefore taking your 2 best rounds only does not consider how a player plays overall and unfairly allocates a much lowers handicap.
It should take the average of all rounds and if after 20 rounds differing rules can be applied.

### 5/5 — Midnight golf

*2026-09-03*

This is the easiest app I have ever used in my life. Self explanatory with ai help that’s amazing.

### 5/5 — Nova Scotia Senior Golf Tour (NSSGT) Loves Squabbit!

*2026-09-02*

As league organizers running 5-7 events per year with fields of 112 per event we needed a platform that could handle not just live scoring and leaderboard management but front end registration functions with back end financial rigour. Squabbit has been a game changer for us enabling massive workload efficiencies while delivering an engaging, user-friendly experience for players both on and off course.  We now arrive on property at our host sites as a “plug ‘n play” tournament running like a well oiled machine with very little required from course staff. It hasn’t been without a few bumps in the road but we’ll chalk that up to seniors and tech not always getting along. 🥴 Thanks for creating an amazing platform Orrie!

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2026-08-26, version 26.8.18*

Simple and v easy to use during a round

### 5/5 — Great app for casual tournament!

*2026-08-25*

It’s free so deserves 5 stars. 

Could use some UI enhancements. Some features are a bit confusing on how to setup.

### 5/5 — What an app

*2026-08-23, version 26.8.18*

Beats any golf app

### 5/5 — Great for tournaments

*2026-08-23*

We had a small tourney, eight 4-man teams, and used Squabbit to keep score and have a leaderboard visible to everyone. It worked great, no hiccups!

### 5/5 — Health and Physical Education Teacher (36 years)

*2026-08-23, version 26.8.18*

Can’t beat the app.  The best app for competitive groups/tournament golfers.  Literally does everything for you.

### 5/5 — Great Golf App

*2026-08-22, version 26.8.18*

This app is awesome for setting a group outing and organizing your games.  Very easy to use and have my first tourney using it next week

### 5/5 — Squabbit is a game changer

*2026-08-22, version 26.8.18*

I host a buddies trip / tournament every year. No other app offered the customization and features we needed. Squabbit has everything. Game changer for all my trips going forward.

### 5/5 — Incredible!

*2026-08-21, version 26.8.18*

This app is phenomenal. We used it for a 12-man tournament we held one weekend this past spring and this app was so cool. It’s pretty easy to use. It gives everyone live notifications of leaderboard updates. Plus you can set up mini games like closest to the pin, long drive, etc. I highly recommend using this app for a group outing. You won’t be disappointed
