★★★★★ 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!

Been using with the Tags for 4+ years now. Way better deal than Arccos or Garmin. The tags make it super easy to track shots/distances/scoring. The GPS is very accurate when compared to a shot scope. If you use it for long, the club distances are very accurate. I love being able to look back at a round on the map. Stats tracking is very helpful. The only reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5... Would be amazing if it had greens maps and Strokes Gained against different handicaps.

I have been using the app for the past five years and have tried out quite a few others during that time and none of the others can compare with the amount of features (scoring, games, statistics, etc.) available on this app and how well they work. If there is ever any issue (and I have only encountered one major issue so far), tech support responds very quickly and stays with you until the issue has been resolved.

I've used this app prolly a good 5 to 6 years. I am a pro membership and it's a great one that will allow areial view of the course and look at all the hazards and freely see distances from where you are at. It's very useful and seems most simple to utilize. Downsides are as follows; handicap holes are hard to know (app automatically calculates your handicap). Statistics are sub-par, I've seen really nice stats from 18 birdies but I don't like the whole cluttered visuals on 18 birdies.
