The new version is much easier for shot tracking. Not sure about the suggested clubs. That hopefully will get better as I enter more data. Haven't found where I can see average distance for each club. Been using the app longer now. Except when the GPS on my phone wasn't working (old phone problem) this app has helped this new player a lot. Love being able to look back and see how I did at a particular course. The only thing that it would be nice, is if you could look at your history at a particular course. Without scrolling through every round.

Thank you, Ilja, for the great review and feedback! We have received requests similar to yours regarding history at a particular course, so that may be something we can implement in future updates.

The amount of ads is rediculous. Every few minutes you'll get prompted to upgrade to premium. No other free app I've used gets in your face as much as this. If you can get past the constant ads it's a great app, but the ads will get in the way of your game and intentionally pop up at bad times and are annoying to dismiss. Ads don't sound bad until you're on the course just trying to mark shots with the sun glaring off the phone.

Edited below...Samsung galaxy S7. I like the interface and the ease of scoring each hole. Sometimes during play...with the phone riding in the golf cart...it would change to the score summary page and I was unable to return to hole. There is a < left arrow up at the top of the screen, but nothing happens when I tap it. [Edit] this has been fixed with the most recent update. [End Edit]
