Simple and easy to use. Select course and enter your score, bam, HCP calculated, chronologically. I only wish it could grab and import values from a given course instead of having you click a link to open a search page to manually read and enter the data in yourself, but that would probably cost for the dev to have API access to the website, and thus cost end users. Once you've imported courses once, you don't have to do it again.

Thanks for the great review! You are right, course DB API is very expensive and would love to remain a free app. The handicap is just a number you need to play against your friends. Shouldn't have to pay for one. Enjoy!

Pretty basic but I like it, easy to use and does the job. Suggested improvements: -Put a * next to the scores that are currently being used in the calculation. -Add a graph on the dashboard that shows the handicap after each of the last 8 or 10 rounds. -Being able to output the data as a .csv file would be a nice advanced feature to add at some point. Thanks for your efforts dev.

This app is off to a great start and has a lot going for it - straightforward interface, good usability, and lives up to its name (Simple Handicap). However, it's missing some fundamental aspects of golf that hold it back from really being a go-to handicap app. (I will award more stars if these are added!) 1. There is no notion of tee boxes in this app. As every golfer knows, there are multiple tee boxes per course, each with its own course rating and slope. As it stands, you need to create a new course for each tee box. 2. 9 hole rounds aren't supported, which is a big drawback. 9 hole rounds are a fact of life for golfers. Even if you only play 18 hole rounds, 9 hole rounds happen due to weather issues, darkness, etc. Also there's some great 9-hole courses that stand on their own merits. 3. The app needs to have a handicap history chart and more stats. 4. There's some other small things, like the course list should be alphabetized, etc. This app has such potential and I'm looking forward to seeing future versions!
