★★★★★ 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!

I contacted customer service about some of the changes they made in the last update. They were very responsive and said 1 of the issues will be resolved and the other issue will be a future release. Pretty happy with them, great app, the club recommendations are awesome, would recommend getting the Tags. Had a video call with one of the team members to help me with setting up a tourney. Very helpful and easy to work with.

Samsung Watch updated and app won't stay open during round. Keep having to go to previous apps. Slows play. Never used to do this, needs fixing. Update: this response has nothing to do with what I'm talking about. I enabled show notifications when I updated. Still not fixed. For 30 bucks a year, you'd think it'd work. Will be looking elsewhere for next year's season.

The app on the phone works great. It's nice to be able to tap to see distance to bends or hazards. However, the companion app for the Galaxy Watch Active 2 will only let me track shots/putts for about 3 holes before it freezes, even when the phone is in my pocket. When I update my shots on the phone, sometimes the app reconnects and sometimes it doesn't. If the watch app worked consistently it would be 5/5.
