★★★★★ 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!

Not as fluid after the latest update and not loving it anymore. Before when you used to zoom in on hole you could click to show the distance. You can still do that, but you then have to zoom back out to see the yardage when before it would if you your yardage at the point you click. This is just one of the changes that don't love. Also what's with the arrow when looking at the yardage and where did the distance to front/back of green go? I wish I could go back to an earlier update? :(

Hey Ron, these are great catches and we are working through them right now. Because of the scale of the update, there were certainly going to be things we missed. We are working quickly to get this resolved!

I absolutely love this app EXCEPT they removed an awesome feature. While playing a hole, if you forgot to track your tee shot, you could add it before your second shot. I emailed help support and got an unusual response. It said we emailed you an answer and did you get it. That was odd, there was not an answer but if I was ready to bang my head against a wall , I could repeat the question. Again, I love this app and I am a multiple year user. Just want the tee shot add feature back.

Hi William, this is on the way back soon! I checked your ticket, we had a support team member reach out to you personally so I believe that's what they were referring to. I have made a note to the team and will update you when I hear if it's in the latest update!

I like the fact it doesn't need a data connection on course. I start it with a wifi connection, update the map and go. I like it enough to upgrade to 14 day trial. I expect to keep it. Lots of good info on club distance and green contours. The more I use it, the more comfortable I get with the app functions. Club recommendations are very good. I like that I'm able to edit out bad hits so that I get a more accurate number for each clubs distance.
