Ratings and reviews

This app continues to disappoint. Constant crashing at different points in the app, issues where the map will just stop loading in the middle of a round, no Samsung watch support. Also would make a ton of sense if I could manually update the average yardage of each club in my profile. The fact that I have to pay the yearly USGA membership fee to even use this app makes the poor performance even more frustrating. Running this on a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra for reference.

Have used this app for years with no problems until this year. Whenever I try to use the handicap calculator and change the tees, the app kicks me out and says there is a bug. I have tried uninstalling, restarting, nothing works. It's been very frustrating since I provide our club's handicap for the different courses and tees we play.

It is nice to have but not user friendly at all. If you tilt your phone to see your scorecard the app crashes. If you click '2025 Rewind' it shows year 2024 data. It calculates handicap, and I can use it to keep score, and it has GPS for most courses. It is very useful, just too buggy. For what I pay annually to track my handicap I expect a better performing app.
