Play the Odds. Not Strokes. - LevelGolf allows golfers to play Matchplay or Nassau using either the new Odds system or traditional stoke per hole allocation method, as a foursome at any golf course in the USA. LevelGolf is the World's first alternative golf leveling system to the traditional stroke per-hole allocation handicapping method. LG is a proprietary Odds-based golf match leveling and wager tracking platform that rewards golfers using a revolutionary Odds scoring system. Our software converts handicaps into odds-points per-hole for each Golfer, no confusing stroke math required. ***Future releases will provide; auto-GHIN population and more games using both Odds and stroke per hole allocation.

Read the mountain before you walk it. ShedGuide turns private shed history, licensed field evidence, and 10-meter terrain data into focused mule deer and elk search areas across the Mountain West. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Your shed locations and saved areas are visible only to you. • Shared models learn from accepted contributions without showing another hunter's points or hunting areas. • Searches, notes, selected areas, and map views never train the shared model. • ShedGuide does not collect photos or record background routes. BUILT FOR SHED HUNTING • Switch cleanly between mule deer and elk terrain. • See your private shed markers above the prediction surface. • Import reviewed shed waypoints from GPX, KML, KMZ, and CSV files on your phone. • Read always-on, labeled elevation contours across the map. • Create fixed prediction areas sized for your membership. • View each area's highest-priority terrain instead of an overwhelming statewide heatmap. SAME PREDICTION, DIFFERENT TOOLS Standard and Pro use the same shared prediction and 10-meter score. Pro adds larger prediction areas, greater area capacity, selected terrain-driver layers, and advanced map controls—not a more accurate model. CONTRIBUTE WITHOUT GIVING AWAY YOUR SPOTS Real members agree to license accepted mule deer and elk shed coordinates to a restricted training corpus. The shared model may use terrain characteristics and a protected, low-weight spatial pattern. No other member can retrieve your coordinates, saved areas, searches, or map history. Annual subscriptions are available through the App Store. Selected states lock for the subscription term, with one support correction allowed within seven days. Restore Purchases, subscription management, account export, and account deletion are available in the Account tab. Terrain Match Percentile and Shed Terrain Priority are planning tools—not a calibrated probability, navigation, access advice, or a guarantee that a shed exists. Always verify land access, regulations, closures, weather, and field safety independently. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
