Great App

Downloaded yesterday because I had a round coming up. Easy to use, saves all your data, fairways, bunkers hit, penalties incurred. Better than taking notes!

Gps terrible now

After having the app for several years this year the gps is extremely slow to catch up and gives the wrong yardage for several seconds most times i have to background the app and open it to fix it, just paid for renewal in April and they refused to refund the renewal since I bought The Grint which is cheaper and a far superior app
