Fibonacci Golf
Read full descriptionHide full description
FibonacciGolf turns your group's round into a running side game where the stakes climb the Fibonacci sequence. It's a scorekeeper and settle-up tool — not a casino — so you can stop arguing about who owes what and get back to golf. Here's the game: everyone antes the same buy-in into a shared pot on each hole. Win the hole outright and you take the pot. Halve it and the pot carries to the next hole while the per-person buy-in climbs the ladder — 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13 and up. The pot grows, the tension builds, and one clutch hole can swing the whole round. THREE WAYS TO PLAY • Classic — flat stakes, the plain skins game. Every hole is the base buy-in; a tie carries the pot to the next hole and a win takes it. • Fibonacci Flat — a tie climbs the Fibonacci ladder and carries the pot; the next win collects it and resets the ladder to the base. • Pure Fibonacci — the relentless version. The buy-in climbs the ladder every single hole and never resets. KEEPS THE MATH EXACT • Tap the winner of each hole (or Tie) — the pot, the ladder, and the standings update instantly. • See who's up and who's down at a glance, with a clean settle-up that keeps who-pays-whom simple. • Save every round with the course and date, search your history, and undo or edit any hole. • Set any starting buy-in — tap a preset or type your own. • Play 9, 18, or keep going into a playoff. BRING YOUR GROUP • Add friends in one tap — text them an invite link; when they open it, you're connected. No account or sign-in required. • Start a shared game and everyone with the app follows the same live scorecard, with who-won-the-hole alerts. • Share a finished round as a crisp image or a link your friends can open in the app. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No ads, no trackers, and no third-party analytics. Single-player scoring stays entirely on your device. The optional friends and shared-game features use a minimal service that stores only what's needed to connect you — a random ID, your display name, and the shared scorecard. FibonacciGolf only keeps score; it never handles real money. Settle up or Climb the ladder.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Fibonacci Golf at none against SmoothSwing's 1. SmoothSwing's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
