The best and getting better
I’ve tried a lot of the golf apps and VPAR is overall the best. They’ve improved a couple of my bugbears and keep releasing new updates. Keep up the good work!
So good
This app has every golf need in one place.
Over complicated
This app has so many features and non standard terminology it makes it soooo complicated I have given up after 2 rounds. I want to pitch up at the club, tap a few buttons whilst walking to the tee and off we go. But you have to click play, add a game, name a game, add a leaderboard 🤷🏼select a course with the right number of holes, select a time, view the scorecard then and only then can you view GPS to see what you are driving into. Then you have to close the GPS to add a score and if you don’t open the GPS it forgets which hole you are on 😤 It’s a bit too much for me perhaps I am not techy enough 🏌️♂️Bit more work needed I think OR less work needed, haven’t even touched all the other masses of other stuff in the app that I don’t think most people would find useful.

Response from developer
Hi Mark, thanks for your review and feedback. We have been working on a 'quick start' option, so that if you are not interested in your game format or leaderboards, starting a game will be quicker. we also have a 'GPS Only' mode which means you can skip all of the set up that you mention and just select the correct course. If you are happy to provide some further feedback into the terminology and where you are finding the app complicated, to help steer our future development, please could you contact the team on support@vpar.com.
Not user friendly and glitchy
Swapped from hole 19 to vpar and got to say I wish I won’t be renewing . It’s an endless faff starting a game. Once your through that it doesn’t automatically start on your watch so you have to start your watch too . More endless faff and then it won’t recognise the game you’ve started on your phone. It won’t let you mark down your friends scores on your watch either which you have to get your phone out for defeating the object. Also yardages flicker about constantly . You have no idea how far you are from the green . It’s a mess

Hi Richy, thanks for your review and feedback. We have been working on a 'quick start' option, so that if you are not interested in your game format or leaderboards starting a game will be quicker. We're also improving the steps needed to start the game on your watch. Currently you cannot score others on the watch due to the amount of space, but we have also been working on a soltuion to this too. I'm not sure why your yardages were flickering, this certainly shouldn't be the case, so the team will look into this. If you can provide any further info on this please contact them on support@vpar.com.
Doesn’t work with older Apple Watch
The GPS doesn’t work with an older Apple Watch which makes the app pointless and average if time
Improved My Game
Love this app! The premium version has all of my golf needs in one place. Scores, GPS, handicap, live leaderboards to play with your friends, club recommendations etc.
Would recommend this app to any golfer of any ability who wants to improve!

Great app
Made our Ryder cup of 24 guys so exciting, clean and easy to use interface, big ups whoever backended this. Just made golf with the boys somehow even more enjoyable.
Top App
Really enjoyed the ease and detail of this app - Thank you 🙌🏼👌🏼⛳️😎
Best golfing app
Can’t get enough of the app. Scoring, gps, stats for every course. Highly recommend.

Lyndhurst Cup ‘25
Thanks again to Will@vpar for setting up our golf weekend - such fun having a proper overnight leaderboard and real-time match updates just when you want it as the tournament closes out👌

@golfaddyventures
it’s honestly a brilliant app, not just for keeping score but for really understanding your game. You can track all your stats (GIR, putts, fairways, sand saves, etc.) and it builds up a clear picture of where you’re gaining or losing shots.
It also doubles up as a GPS, so you’ve got distances and course mapping right on your phone perfect for plotting your way around. Plus, if you’re playing with mates, you can set up live leaderboards and track each other’s scores in real time (makes a casual knock about feel like a proper event).
There’s a free version if you just want to give it a go, but the premium opens everything up and is 100% worth it if you’re serious about improving

Best golf app out there
Best golf app by far. Logs all stats, has gps and great interface.
Disappointing
If it works nice this app is great.
I set up 4 rounds for a 4v4 Ryder cup style game. The app got the matchups wrong and didn’t work they way we expected. We ended up keeping score on the scorecard instead. Big waste of money

Course selection crashes on current version
Generally this has been a great app but on the most recent few version the app immediately crashes if you try and access the course list
This app is a must for all golfers.
The GPS is spot on and works great with my apple watch. Very easy to use and set up games. Plus all the stats you get at the end of the round is good to see how I am getting on. I would recommend this app whether you are a beginner or even a pro.
Leaderboard filter
App is great for scoring with our society, and is much better than manual cards. But the order of the leaderboard is based on nett strokeplay vs VPar HCP, and not based on Stableford points.
For example, team A with 16pts appear in 1st place, despite team B having 18 pts. This is because team A’s VPar net score is +16 and team B’s is +22.
But format is a fourball stableford, so should show team with most points in lead.
Is there a way to change this setting?

Updates made but now have errors
Have used for a few years, and it has been great for our groups. Mine updated a few days ago… and now I am unable to change the Handicap allowance from 100%. Also it won’t keep the tee time I have entered.
Great App
The best Golf App out there.
Worked perfectly on my trip to Spain.
10/10 recommend to everyone.
