★★★★★ 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!

The new version and update of Golf Pad is excellent.!! In combination with the use of Tags, I get excellent feedback from every single round. My Golf Pad information analysis of each round has helped me cut at least two to three strokes off my next round. Over the last month I've dropped 10 stroke. This is an awesome app and a great bang for the buck compared to others that are on the market.

Absolutely love the app especially paired with the tags. I golfed a lot as a teen but as I grew up I had less and less time to play. So when I got back into golf fairly seriously the last year or so, I didn't have a clue what my club yardage was. Once I got the tags on and played a few rounds I was able to not only dial in my distances but be able to look back at every single shot and hole to determine where I was losing the most shots. The only bummer is you have to keep your phone on you.

Honestly the best app for tracking your golf shots. I looked at Arccos and it was insanely expensive for what you get (199/year and hardware required). Also felt very bloated in comparison to this app. I think it has a place but for $30/year GolfPad combined with the watch app is the best thing for my game right now. I ended up buying golf pad tags to help my tracking workflow too. They basically just tag the location on the map you hit that club. I'd love it if I didn't have to tag it.
