★★★★★ Great app!
I've been using this app for a few years now and have never had a problem with it. The accuracy compared with a range finder is spot on. I've played 27 holes using this and still had plenty of battery power left. Great app!

I started using the premium version of the app 4 months ago and it worked really well on my Galaxy watch 6. However, the last few weeks have been hit or miss. When using my watch, I get a "waiting to connect" message. if I close the app on my watch and open it again, the distances update and I get my yardage. After hitting a shot to input the data it goes back to "waiting to connect". I open and close the app about 50 times a round just to get distances. Extremely frustrating.

This app is phenomenal! All the tracking features have really helped me improve my game! Also love the live leaderboard feature. My friends and I can track our scores as we progress through the course. Keeps things exciting and competitive. Premium is also worth it! The scoring methods, team modes and the strokes gained analysis are brilliant. I would like to input a custom strokes gained benchmark figure. Would be nice to track against my target handicap as opposed to an average PGA player

I've tried many and like this the most. I don't want a bunch of junk in the app while playing to distract me. This app makes the most common actions front and center so it's easier to use on the course. The recent addition of posting USGA scores to your GHIN account is wonderful. Use at home in Phoenix and used in Vietnam. Both work equally well. support is responsive. recommended.
