ScoreLynxPro is the next generation of the popular ScoreLynx app. ScoreLynx was the first and best golf leader board app available. But move over ScoreLynx because ScoreLynxPro is here. And now introducing the next generation of ScoreLynxPro. Version 1.2.x (y) is a major migration. See the What's new section. Along with this next generation version of the app I've also introduced a web version of ScoreLynx. This can be used if you have players in your game that use other mobile devices, or if users want to participate from a computer, or any device that has a browser accessible. The web version is a very scaled down version of the Apple application, so it can just be used for selecting a group/game, and then viewing scorecards, posting scores and viewing leaderboards. ScoreLynxPro builds on the legacy ScoreLynx experience of over 1 million scores, 10’s of 1000’s of users, and 1000’s of games played since its inception, to bring you a best of class golf leaderboard application to support all your group golfing needs, and also to support the management of game and skins payouts. ScoreLynxPro is also collaborating with top golf instructors to allow them to leverage your playing data, to tune and customize golf instruction to your particular needs. With the ScoreLynxPro leaderboard you will always know where you are in the field in casual or tournament play. The leaderboard will also show you up to date Skins game results as well as game and skins payouts as the game progresses. For wagering keep up on the competition even if they’re not in your foursome today. Supports a spectator mode, allowing you to watch a game even if you are not participating. Great for parents of junior players or if you just can’t make one weekend and you want to keep an eye on your golf buddies.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: ScoreLynxPro at 100% against Golfmetrics's 16%. ScoreLynxPro also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.8) and in-app purchases (none vs 13). Golfmetrics's advantage is ratings volume (122 vs 17) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
