### 5/5 — App review

*2026-07-10*

I’ve been playing with the free version for a while’s decided to try the pro version. So far, I like it a lot. Primarily for layup and carry distance for hazards. The watch scoring is flawless and on the pro version, having the green map on my watch is really helpful. I would recommend this app very highly.

### 5/5 — Perfect way to drop shots

*2026-07-08*

The new strokes gained features are some of the best i've seen. Highly recommend to anyone serious about improving their game

### 5/5 — Simple and looks great

*2026-07-07*

Love how the scorecard looks. I’m able to set mine and opponents handicap to get the net score. The gps is just as accurate as my Garmin.

### 5/5 — User friendly, easy to navigate, GPS works great

*2026-07-02*

After using their alignment disc, I started using the app as my scorecard and putt count. Then they released the GPS update, for free, and that’s been a game changer. I would use my range finder along with the GPS at first to verify distances and it’s very accurate. Love this app.

### 5/5 — Best On Course Tool

*2026-06-27*

Have used several apps - this one does it all and does it incredibly well

### 5/5 — Great For Any Golfer

*2026-02-07*

Easy to use app for any golfer. I’m new to golf and this helps a ton with understand course management and will help me grow at the pace I want to grow at. Love it so far.

### 5/5 — This app is the real deal!!

*2026-02-06*

Hands down best golf app that I have used.  The jointed distance feature is really cool!!

### 5/5 — Amazing app…honestly

*2025-12-27*

Really helpful and GPs is awesome. I lost my range finder and this is better than having a range finder. Really useful. And easy to use

### 5/5 — Stats

### 5/5 — Super easy to use

The best thing about this app is the UI. So easy to navigate between the scorecard and performance tracking screens. This app is a must-have if you’re a die-hard golfer.

### 1/5 — Looks nice but can’t use it at home course

*2026-06-03*

Looks like a nice app but can’t play my home course in my area because it says “no tees found” and does not give me an option to add them.

### 1/5 — Sell sell sell

*2026-05-14*

There are better golf apps out there. Most of what this app offers is useless stuff.

### 1/5 — Scammers!!!

*2026-04-26*

They did a promotion for a drawing saying you could try the app for a period of time and cancel within the window if the drawing.  Instead they just charged my card immediately and refuse to refund.  Scammers!!!

### 2/5 — Are there instructions?

*2026-07-11*

I love my why golf products, so I thought i would try the app. I could not find how to actually use it. It says things like “ log each shot” but, if there are instructions on how to actually log a shot. somebody please let me know and I’ll try again. The aim feature is cool and I looked at it a few times. But, a little instruction might be nice. Maybe I’m just old

### 4/5 — Why Golf app

*2026-08-22*

I used to use Grint until I found this app and I like the precise yardages to the cup on every hole. You can place your preferred shot on any fairway so you can plan your shots accordingly. I have used the app 7 or 8 rounds and I do prefer this app better.

### 4/5 — Instructions

*2026-08-13*

Looking for instructions for using my the app.  Played 9 holes yesterday and could not find a way to end the round.

### 4/5 — John

*2026-08-13*

Great Approved with lots of good tips, stats and tools that others charge for. I have used other Apps that end up being only a score card.  Why Golf makes it easy to use and keep focused on each shot.  Which keeps mistakes to a minimum and stay focused.

### 4/5 — Scorecards don’t match for 27 hole courses

*2026-07-27*

Two separate courses I’ve played have 27 holes, and while the GPS and pictures match correctly, the scorecard does not which gives me incorrect information about pars, bogeys, etc. I love everything else about the app!

### 4/5 — User friendly?

*2025-08-10*

Was hard to figure out but after playing with all the buttons and stuff i f figured it out

**Developer response:** Hey there, thanks for the feedback. We've since added a bunch of tutorial vids that you can access from the home screen. All the best! -WhyGolf Team

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-08-23*

Very easy to use. I may switch to from Golf Shot to Why Golf App. I have switched to Why Golf from Golf Shot.   I’ve been a golf shot user for many years. Why Golf was easier to navigate the score.

### 5/5 — Easy to use Holf HOS and Scorecard App

*2026-08-21*

Accurate GPS yardage for every shot, easy to use and keep score.  Also syncs with GHIN for automatic handicap updating.  Highly recommend !

### 5/5 — Companion golf tracker in your pocket

*2026-08-06*

Downloaded WhyGolf to help me begin to track my rounds and shots - seems very intuitive and helpful so far. 6 rounds in and climbing.

### 5/5 — Golf app

*2026-07-30*

I’ve used this app numerous times, since downloading it!  I belong to two golf courses in Northern New York, Malone Golf Course and Highland Greens Golf Course in Brushton, New York.  At Malone, the app is working great!  In Brushton, the back nine are working great, however, the front nine are off by one hole!  WhyGolf has been advised of the situation!  The front nine shows the first hole as a par three!  In reality, it’s hole number nine and the Tee Box is where the cup is located!  Hole number one is actually hole number two, a par four.  Each hole after that is off by one!  I was able to work around it though, by posting my score on the proper hole!  So far, I love the app,  just waiting for the app to be updated!

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2026-07-29*

Great golf app! The graphics are clean, simple, and easy to read. Yardages are accurate, making club selection much easier. Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Great golf app

*2026-07-28*

Love this app great GPS five, keeps score and at the end transmit it to the USGA. I got it easy and I just use the free version!

### 5/5 — First Time Using WhyGolf

*2026-07-26*

First timer using Why Golf App.  It’s very accurate because I compared the distances with my playing partner who had an expensive range finder.  I was very pleased and impressed!!

### 5/5 — GPS oops

*2026-07-23*

Highland Greeen Golf Course was great…the only thing missing was the number one hole is now number nine, therefore,all the holes in between are off  by one!  The number 2 hole is number one!

### 5/5 — Best golf app out there

*2026-07-20*

I’ve tried every golf app out, nothing beats it.

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2026-07-19*
