Ratings and reviews

Has some good features like the hole by hole scoring option and favourites. Some issues like radio hung at one point and the shot tracker visuals are very poor compared to similar PGA Tour or Masters features. Cannot compare shots of players playing in the same group. The AM featured video seemed to disappear yesterday for the final few holes of the Lowry/Scheffler/Morikawa group. The Open should have the highest quality digital experience but it fails in significant key areas to achieve this.

Good app but could be better. No shot tracker like pgatour, masters and US Open apps. No highlights of shots for players on most holes, click on hole and get their shots. Whoever decided on the scorecard to NOT use a different colour to denote bogey vs +2 on a hole - should be sacked straight away. No a good visual at all. Could be a much better app.

Still not as good as the Masters app. The fact you can see every shot from your favourite player on The Masters app and still can't do it on The Open app alone makes it poorer. The Highlights are limited also. Most other golf leaderboard apps when you highlight your favourite players put's them at the top rather than scrolling down or searching for them.
