### 1/5 — Wish I could give it zero stars

*2023-04-27*

Sadly I bought a 3 yr membership. After entering a score incorrectly and finally figuring out how to contact someone to try to correct it I received this reply: “ You can no longer use the app to generate a USGA handicap. It can only be used to record scores. Have a great day”.
 Ummmm The name of the app is USHandicap. Yet it can’t be used to generate a handicap. Wish there was a way to get my money back.

### 1/5 — DON’T BUY

*2023-04-23*

Signed up and paid the annual fee. Then realized that it was no good to get me into the tournament I was trying to play in. Went thru their process of cancellation (no refunds) so that I wouldn’t get charged again in a year. Buyer beware - lesson learned. Only to see 1 year later another non-refundable annual charge added to my cc. Went thru app again to see why they ignored my previous cancellation. Had to call AMEX and put a vendor block on this vendor so as not to get charged again. Terrible experience- read all reviews. I ordered too fast trying to get a handicap # for a last minute entry into a tournament - it has now cost me $60 to never use it. Wish I could rate a zero star.

### 3/5 — What’s wrong with app

*2023-01-10, version 3.2.6*

Used this ap for over 8 years no issues, yesterday the handicaps disappeared, can’t log on still have a valid subscription. Can’t find a support email to request help. If they don’t fix this, will go somewhere else. Otherwise been a great ap first issue with it.

### 1/5 — Run away do not walk.

*2022-12-22, version 3.2.6*

Similar to others I have attempted to cancel my subscription multiple times with zero response or effect. Moreover the system itself requires substantiation from a third party if not a club member.  My next step if they do not respond is to alert our state AG to their scam.
One star only because zero is not an option.

### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY

*2022-10-06, version 3.2.6*

As mentioned by several other people on here, your subscription may work for a year or two, but then it auto renews and you’ll suddenly be considered “free” member. When you try to upgrade through the app, it tells you no memberships available in your area. Tried to contact customer support but no response. Save your money and purchase any other handicap app on here

### 1/5 — Do NOT use this handicap tracker!

*2022-07-21, version 3.2.6*

I have issues even giving it one star… There is absolutely no customer service available at all! It is very difficult to find anything about how to cancel your membership. There is an email listed but after sending three emails to cancel my membership I never got a response indicating such. I had to cancel the credit card that was on file so I would not be charged. That is absolutely ridiculous! This is obviously a complete hoax and just a way for unsuspecting customers to be trapped in a membership they don’t want. Complete and total waste of money!

### 1/5 — Golfers Beware!!

*2022-06-15, version 3.2.6*

This app is a total scam and the customer service is nonexistent. I signed up last year and upon realizing this app does not provide a GHIN (which you must do through a club) I contacted support to cancel the same day. Fast forward 1 year, I get charged and have contacted support three times over the past 2 weeks with no response! There is no way for you to cancel membership on your own and when you send a support ticket in, you are not provided a ticket number or confirmation email to track the issue. I would never recommend this app to another golfer ever!!

### 2/5 — Needs an update!

*2022-06-08, version 3.2.6*

I like this app for my handicap, but like the review above, customer service seems to be non existent. I’m afraid that when I do cancel my membership, I will continue to be charged! It’s also in major need of an update. A lot of courses on here that don’t even exist anymore.

### 1/5 — DON’T BUY

### 1/5 — Long Term Con

*2022-05-25, version 3.2.6*

I purchased this initially in March 2021 and everything worked fine, handicap was generated and able to be referenced by others.  With this success, I allowed the app to renew in 2022.  Suddenly upon my renewal the app claims that there is no longer a club in my area that would allow my handicap to be calculated.  Despite reverting to the free version, the app still charged me for the full year.  I have sent 3 different support requests to the company that have all been ignored.  I am now out the cash charged by this app, as well as the fees to register in the GHIN as a result of this apps incompetence.

THIS COMPANY IS JUST CASHING THE RENEWAL MONEY WITHOUT PROVIDING THE ADVERTISED SERVICE!  Pay the extra for the GHIN to avoid this con
