A once great app - ruined
I have used this app for years, loved it. And then the upgrade happened. Features removed. Vague promises of their return. Constant ‘upgrades’ but yet zero progress on returning these features. 18Birdies is a few $$ more, but has much better features and value. I tried contacting the developer - they have stopped responding I guess they can’t handle constructive feedback from customers. Such a shame.
First to Worst
Ever since the “upgrade” a year ago, the interface went from the best among peers to one of the worst. Difficult to access stats across more rounds than the last ten, user interface is counternintuitive, and it shows all 9 hole rounds as incomplete. Son uses 18 Birdies now; I’m thinking of switching as well.
Update doesn’t load par 3 holes
After the most recent update, par 3 holes do not show correctly. No hole map, no yardages, etc. Nothing happens. Frustrating! Especially for the paid version.
They destroyed this app
They pushed a new version of the app this season and it does not work whatsoever. You go to open the app on your next hole and it just stops working then reloads and says you’re 50’ from a hole when you are standing 175 yards from the green. It’s horrible how bad they have screwed this app up. I have used it for years. My last 3 rounds this thing has not worked. Not worth the 49.99 I pay for a yearly subscription! Save your money and find a different app that actually works!
How do you set tournament mode?
This is incredibly frustrating. Where can you select rules compliant mode in order to use the iPhone version of the app in a tournament?
Nope!!
Does not show pictures of the hole on watch. Canceled and back to Golfshot app
GPS off
Nice features but the yardage is off by about 20%. So I can’t use it in Colorado
Updated Version
This was a great app before it was updated. 5/5. Gone is the satellite view, choices for entering drive accuracy reduced, cannot view elapsed time during game. Entering score is slow having to tap data several times. I don’t understand why such an app was downgraded. I’m looking for another app.
Charged for Inaccessible Premium Services
If I wasn’t charged for something I couldn’t use, this would be 5-stars, but because this bug has persisted for what seems to be a few months, I’m giving it 2. This should have been fixed, and I should be refunded. I tried the weekly subscription for $6.99, then tested it out on a course I know well the night before playing… worked great. Got to the course the next day, and all the premium options were unavailable and I was continually prompted to buy the premium features. When I clicked on the weekly subscription again, I received an error message saying “You are already subscribed to Premium” but all the features were still locked.
7 day trial????
I was looking forward to using this app to see how it worked…the features seemed awesome. I started my round and was really enjoying what the app offered, until I started the back nine…at that point it locked the distances and made the app virtually useless. WTH is the point of a 7 day trial if you only get 9 holes worth of readings. Sorry, but as much as I wanted to pay for a subscription, you lost me.
Not as good now.
Lost years of information after update. Also green reading feature is not as user friendly as prior version. The geolocation does not load the greens properly. Looking for a new app.
what happened to this app
This app was great for multiple years. Now its barely usable, kills my battery, features aren't as good, and I'm curious of it will still work without phone service (if you download the course beforehand.) I never paid for green breaks but now i have that?
