Get golfing with this scorecard app for FREE. QuickNine is your new golf scorecard and GPS Tracking app. A modern simplified take on the iPhone golf scorecard which at every turn is aimed to do one thing. Get out of the way and let you play golf. WHY WE'RE HERE. Two things ring true for the golf scorecard market that we didn’t like. Ever notice that the first thing most of these apps do is make you create an account and require your email address. And then when you investigate more you notice they are collecting a whole bunch of data about you. Why?! And then once you do sign up, they have an absurd amount of tutorials and cluttered interfaces to step you through an overly complicated learning experience just to get you started in their busy screens. Shouldn’t we just get you out playing golf? WHAT WE DID. We set out to make a FUN app with some very powerful features and some great stat tracking, but we wanted most of that to just be out of the way so when you are doing what you love to do, you aren’t spending all your time remembering how your app works. Use the app all you want with our FREE basic interface. And when you are ready, step up to Premium for more features including the easy to configure GPS rangefinder and map and course based statistics. FEATURES. • Quick Score Entry System • Detailed scorecard display after round • Track stats including Putts, Penalties, Fairways Hit, and GIR • Catalog of 1000s of Golf Clubs (limited) • Efficient Course Entry System • Share Rounds with Email, CSV, or QuickNine file • Share Courses PREMIUM. • Full GPS Rangefinder with Map • Quickly add your own points for distance tracking • Unlimited course catalog downloads • Course Based Statistics • Handicap Scoring • Stableford and Skins scoring • App Icon Choices • No Ads COURSE CATALOG. Our catalog is comprised of hundreds of hand entered courses, some with built in GPS locations, and then thousands more from a top golf course data source. We plan to expand that both by purchasing thousands more courses worldwide from the same source as we get premium users, and by asking our users to submit completed courses they create in the app for inclusion. Note: Please try to enter as much information as you can as accurately as you can for submission. We have built out the course entry system to be so streamlined, it takes about 10 minutes or less to do an entire course(we’ve used the app to enter the existing ones). Or you can enter a new course hole by hole the first time you play it with the app. WHAT WE AREN'T We aren't trying to get you setup and into our accounts so we can track you and your golf rounds. We also are going for simplicity so haven't buried you in shot tracking and loads of extra statistics that make most apps very confusing and clunky to play along with. Not to say we won't add more of these things, but it will be in the right way....We also wanted to get the application to market, so haven't yet approached Apple Watch use, but we love that idea too, and hope to bring it to you with the same simplicity sometime soon. So most importantly, we aren't done yet... SUBSCRIPTIONS. Both yearly and monthly Subscriptions are available with a 14-day free trial to access the Premium features. Cancel at anytime in iPhone Settings. Or purchase the Lifetime option to get all premium features and all new features for the life of the product. Terms of Service: https://www.birdsoft.biz/terms.htm USER TIPS There are some shortcuts built into the app that we wanted to point out. One is that when entering scores, you can swipe to go to previous/next hole, tap the yards/par to edit the course data, and tap and hold on a player to use the menu to set the score directly. We also use swiping on some items from right to left and tap n hold, to use Apple's convention to give you options on what you can do in certain situations(like removing players or editing some items). Let’s play some golf!!
