Built for every group you play with. RipScore is the golf app for your regular game and your not-so-regular game - the same crew every Saturday, or a one-off round with people you just met on the first tee. No scorecard math, no "wait, what were we betting on again?" RipScore keeps score, tracks who's up, and settles the debate before you're off the 18th green. SET UP YOUR GROUP ONCE Save your regular playing partners as a group. Next time you play, fill in everyone's name, avatar, and handicap with one tap - no retyping names round after round. 24 GAME FORMATS + SIDE GAMES, FOR EVERY KIND OF DAY Stroke Play, Skins, Wolf, Vegas, Stableford, Bingo Bango Bongo, Best Ball, Round Robin, Match Play, and more - for individuals, teams, and full multi-foursome tournaments. Pick a format, and RipScore keeps score, tracks mulligans, and shows exactly who's winning, hole by hole. 7 SIDE GAMES, RIGHT FROM THE SCORECARD Closest to the Pin, Sandies, Barkies, Greenies, and more - run alongside whatever format you're already playing. Track who's owed what hole by hole, and settle up automatically at the end of the round. JOIN A ROUND WITHOUT AN ACCOUNT Start a round and share a simple code. Anyone can join instantly from a browser - no download required to play along. Joining an existing round with a share code, no account needed. Everyone sees the same live scorecard update in real time. LIVE GPS DISTANCE TO THE GREEN Log in to unlock GPS distance-to-green for front, center, and back of every hole, pulled from real course data. SEE THE HOLE FROM ABOVE Log in to pull up a satellite view of any hole, right from the scoring screen - a real look at the fairway and green before you commit to a shot. OPTIONAL HANDICAPPING, DONE RIGHT Turn on net scoring and RipScore calculates each player's strokes per hole automatically, based on real handicaps - fair games for mixed-skill groups, without anyone doing math. RIPSCORE INDEX AND GHIN LINK Log in and play eligible rounds to build your RipScore Index - an unofficial, in-app estimate of where your game is trending, calculated using the same public formula real handicap systems use. Link out to GHIN to post official scores whenever you're ready. LEADERBOARDS JUST FOR YOUR GROUPS Every group gets its own shared leaderboard - separate from the general public rankings - so you can see who's actually been winning all season, not just today. A RECAP WRITTEN FOR YOUR ROUND Finish a round and get a short, funny, AI-written recap of what actually happened - the comeback, the collapse, the photo finish - built entirely from your group's real scores, not a generic template. SETTLE UP WITHOUT THE ARGUMENT RipScore calculates who owes who automatically, and can pull in Venmo handles so you can actually settle up before you leave the parking lot. FINISHED ROUNDS SAVED, RUNNING STATS AND HISTORY Every completed round is saved to your history, with your stats tracked over time - so you always know where your game actually stands. Whether it's a casual Saturday game or a full club tournament, RipScore keeps the math out of your golf - so all that's left is golf.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: RipScore Golf at none against ForeScore's 2. ForeScore's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
