### 4/5 — Freezes

*2026-08-26, version v19.0.17 Pegasus*

Great app, but freezes when trying to add new golfers

### 4/5 — Grint Crashes

*2026-08-25, version v19.0.16 Pegasus*

My Grint app keeps crashing everytime I click on someone's profile picture, Click on comment button under the scorecard, or just trying to click my own profile. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling multiple times. Updated my iphone to latest SW as well but nothing seems to work.

I tried logging on my computer and it is working fine. Not sure what is happening as this started happening a couple of days back.

### 1/5 — Horrible UI

*2026-08-24*

Use a different golf app.

Absolutely terrible UI design. Even the most basic functionality is impossible to find. My friends and I try to use it to track our rounds together and every single time it takes us multiple tries and 2 full holes to work around the bugs and poor design to actually get a round going with proper score tracking. Half the time we give up and just track our scores on our own.

**Developer response:** Hi! We apologize for the trouble you have had with the App.
Can you please email us at contactus@thegrint.com and tell us more about what specific issues you have encountered? We would appreciate it if you can send me details of the UI Design you don't like or simple tasks you can't find. 
We will be waiting for your email.

### 5/5 — TheGrint is Great

*2026-08-14, version v19.0.15 Pegasus*

I started using TheGrint it has a great UI to track your score and advanced stats like puts, etc. It has a GPS feature that provides distance to the pin as well as the ability to manually measure distances on each hold. Once I record my round it automatically loads it up to GHIN for my handicap. This is a top app.

### 5/5 — Ideal for game improvement

*2026-08-12, version v19.0.15 Pegasus*

If you believe in practicing, on or off the course. This details and stats this app provides if you input the corrects stats during a round is amazing.

### 2/5 — Too much personal data

*2026-08-07*

Sorry I’m got giving you my date of birth

### 4/5 — Kind of a good app

*2026-08-06*

While the info the app supplies for you whilst on the course is exceptional the only downfall is how you track your shots. The biggest gripe everyone has is slow play in golf nowadays and with having to enter your club used, walk to your next shot save that current shot enter your next club and so on. So when you get in and around and on the green it becomes slow play having to do all this. Select your club,hit the shot walk to the next get your phone out enter your next shot and so on. Be nice if you could edit/enter all this stuff after your round. You can edit fairways, greens hit etc but not what club you used. Pretty much everyone knows what they did in that round and where they roughly played from on the course given the app has gps. So if you’re a slow player then this is good for you if you like ready golf then maybe not.

### 5/5 — Johnny

*2026-08-04, version v19.0.14 Odin*

Excelente

### 5/5 — Ez Puttz

*2026-08-01, version v19.0.14 Odin*

This app is awesome!

### 1/5 — Worst update ever

*2026-08-01, version v19.0.14 Odin*

Don’t pay to upgrade. Get another app. Wish I can give negative stars. 

Whatever they have done in some of the latest updates is so bad. Have talked to support. I have been patient for updates.  But despite updating latest version it’s a mess.  Got so frustrated today while playing a round it actually impacted my game since I was annoyed and distracted and had the worst round in 3 weeks. 

- GPS feature keeps crashing the app within a minute. 
- won’t work with Apple Watch anymore properly. It used to be just fine. It just ignores the score on Apple Watch and doesn’t record.  Won’t advance to the next hole either after I enter the score. 
- doesn’t load my clubs. So I can’t track distances. It loads all generic clubs including hybrids and clubs I don’t even own. 

These are just the issues I have noticed so far. Today I ended up using free version of 18Birdies that was fine - even worked with Apple Watch. I used to be a long time
GolfLogix user and switched to Grint last year as my friends are on it. Bad mistake !!
