SG Tracker turns your round into real, actionable data—using the same Strokes Gained method as the pros, built for players who want honest numbers about their game. Enter each shot in seconds as you play, and get the full picture the moment you step off the 18th green: discover exactly where you are gaining strokes, where you are losing them, and which part of your game to practice next. HOW IT WORKS Every shot you log is compared against baseline expected-strokes data across five key categories: Off the Tee, Approach, Around the Green, Recovery, and Putting. That comparison is Strokes Gained—a metric that reveals not just what you scored, but how every shot actually performed. BUILT FOR THE COURSE - Fast, Minimal Entry: Designed for quick taps between shots so it never slows down your play. - 100% Offline: No Wi-Fi or cellular signal required—works anywhere on the course. - Automatic Tap-In Detection: Putts inside 2 feet are recognized automatically, saving unnecessary taps. - Bunker & Holed-Out Tracking: Simple one-tap flags for bunker lies and holed-out shots—checking "Holed Out" skips putting entry entirely. - Putting Detail: Log putts with optional slope and break entries for deeper green-reading insights. - Hole & Round Notes: Jot quick notes on any hole or the whole round—pin position, conditions, swing thoughts—for context later. DEEP POST-ROUND ANALYSIS - Category Breakdown: See total Strokes Gained broken down by Off the Tee, Approach, Around the Green, Recovery, and Putting. - Trend Tracking: Monitor performance over any date range to verify if your practice is paying off. - Hole-Type Performance: View Par 3, 4, and 5 stats separately to identify your most costly hole layouts. - Approach Precision: Review pin proximity and landing position breakdowns on approach and par-3 tee shots. - Easy Sharing: Share round summaries with your coach or friends in a single tap. YOUR DATA, YOUR PRIVACY SG Tracker works completely offline with no account required. Create an optional free account only if you want to sync your rounds seamlessly across your devices. No ads. No clutter. Just clear answers on where your game stands.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SG Tracker at 5.0 against CIF's 2.7. CIF's advantage is ratings volume (22 vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
