Golfshot Plus for Negative User Reviews

Poor QualityBeen using on and off for years (updated) yet they have all the holes on my course measured incorrectly. Better apps out there I guess. Shame really because it started off well. To be fair, got a response asking me to email course updates even though I had already told them and now they want me to do their job too. Shockingly bad really..Version: 5.81

Still BuggyNot sure why but paying the addition monthly fee allowed me to connect the app to my iWatch. I thought purchasing the $30 Pro option gave you access to iWatch capabilities!? Now that I’ve used it for 2 weeks, 6 rounds, I find that I love the features but hate the bugs it seems to have. Too often the both phone and iWatch will show the incorrect distance. Closing out the app and returning does not help. It returns to incorrect distance. Also the iWatch will lag behind such that I have to return to the cart to get the distance from the iPhone. I will drop out of the monthly program..Version: 5.17

The Vines EllenbrookHoles 15 to 18 have wrong GPS co-ordinates and fairways pictures does not corespond to the course. Please fix. Thanks Andries.Version: 5.31

Putting PleaseYes there are a lot of things to like about golf shot and there was a time I would’ve rated the app five stars. But if 50% of golf is putting and chipping then why aren’t there more optional statistics in those areas. Golfshot’s stats are supposed to help you get better but very little effort has been made in this area. As a low handicapper these would be more helpful. Another app has spent a lot of effort on putting but your interface is far superior. Please allow for more statistics and let low handicappers improve their putting !!.Version: 5.26.4

Auto tracking loses gps signal and swing idKept loosing connection even with my watch and phone with me..Version: 5.83

DO NOT BUY. BATTERY DRAINER APP.IPhone battery can't handle it. lasts 8 holes from a full charge. My iPhone is 2 months old with no problems. Great interface and functionality. Just not usable..Version: 0

What happened?I used to really love this app. Used it all the time and told whoever would listen, they should by this. Then I install the latest upgrade and now it won't even open!! Please get this fixed ASAP..Version: 3.3.4

Apple watchThe app performs badly with the apple watch. Watch drops out constantly. Screen disappears every time you need to check distance. Developers don’t seem to have tested this on a physical device. I wont bother using the watch with it until there is an update. App works well otherwise..Version: 5.14

Watch app not workingSince the update the watch app won't work. Are you doing anything to fix it.Version: 5.0

Not impressedJust spent $30 on the app and it won't open or allow me to register, not very happy.Version: 3.1

DisapointingThe mesure are not right. I've tried it on every hole and the mesure were very far from reality..Version: 2.5

Tracking needs tons of workLove the simplicity of the old version but had to turn off auto tracking after the update. Even after manually correcting yardages for clubs in the settings, the app assigns the wrong club to the shot 90% of the time and I couldn’t find a way to correct that on the fly. Correcting it after each hole was very burdensome and didn’t seem to fix the issue anyway. Also, I linked my GHIN but my scores aren’t showing up in history even though my handicap updates properly. So, lots of work needed on the new features. I think they rolled the tracking out too soon..Version: 5.54

Pin location feature is flawedI’ve been using Golfshot for a couple of years and find it to be a good tool. The new pin location feature is problematic and annoying. The assumption is that someone has accurately updated the location whenever the course changes pin locations (nearly every day). I have no idea whether the marked location is accurate so I try to ignore it but it is too visible on the app. To make this useful the golf course should be invited to participate and have them update it when the pin locations are changed. Otherwise it is an irritating piece of data on the app..Version: 5.74

TerribleComplete waste of money... DO NOT BUY IF YOU LIVE IN AUSTRALIA!!!! Most of functions do not work, especially on iwatch..Version: 5.13.1

GOLFSHOTThis app has not worked on my Apple Watch since the day I bought the watch,all I get is a map of the hole and no other features. I am devastated as I’ve had the app a long time and loved it so hopefully with the latest update I finally get what I’m craving.Version: 5.70

I used to love this app, don’t use auto-advance featureI used to love Golfshot. Unfortunately, it’s become much harder for me to recommend it for my friends. The key feature that is ruining the experience is the auto-advance feature. I turned it on and I had a very poor experience. The app started auto-advancing to the next hole while I was still standing on the green of the current hole. So, when I opened the app to put in my score, I had to be sure to back track the app to the current hole. Before I realized this was happening, I kept skipping holes on my score card and giving myself incorrect scores for the hole the app thought I was on. Let’s not even get into the frustrations I felt when I was in the rough of the current hole, which auto-advanced me to the next hole and started giving me distances to the wrong green! All this is fair enough, right? It’s a buggy feature, just turn it off, right? You would be WRONG!! I turned the feature off in settings and it continued to auto-advance using GPS location. So the app is constantly and frequently showing me information for a hole I’m not playing. It’s very frustrating and it needs to be fixed. I cleared a green with my sand wedge by 30 yards the other day because I had the wrong distance. The app just can’t be trusted..Version: 5.26.4

Good Tool. Unstable.Great tool. Accurate GPS. Pretty good stat tracking. Swing tracking and club averages crashes app. Still more value than a Skycaddie. At 30 bucks the developers should be all over the bugs. Unfortunately the updates appear to be infrequent..Version: 3.5.4

Auto move to next hole is neededThis would greatly improve the usability of the app. Also, whilst recording your scores has analytical benefits it should be an optional feature. I have to complete a physical card so to record it digitally as well takes additional time when slow play is a hot topic. For me it is the most annoying feature of the app especially when I can’t disable it!!!.Version: 5.19

Don't buy this ripoff. Still waiting months laterCan't even use this expencive software just has a select few austrralian cources. Don't waste your money it caters for americans first as usual. They are first and the world can wait on them. There are other options out there. That are cheaper and not made for USA. Provided all the details for my course ( Wentworth Falls Country Club NSW Australia ), and four months later still nothing, don't buy it you will be to old to play before you're course is loaded unless you live in USA. These ppl cant even get there act together to google the course. If Obama wants the world to stop having a distaste & stop whinging about the USA, then get the USA to stop treating the rest of the world as it's servant. All I want is for you to do what you say you will do, but this company simply doesn't, they are lures. The world could exist without these companies in the America that rip people off..Version: 0

Let the buyer bewareDon’t be too enamored with the AR function that looks really neat on the advertisement to purchase PLUS. Purchasing PLUS will not get you what they show you - it will not be available to you as shown unless you give them more money to add PRO beyond your PLUS purchase price. What the AR function gives you with PLUS is nothing more than you will already have. So the AR component is a waste with simply PLUS. They don’t tell you that in the ad. They only reel you in with it. I bit the hook because I like what I saw about the AR function but was duped by the neat ad, thinking naturally that I would get what they showed me. Only now I am told that to get the full function I will need to pay more. You would thing a reputable company would tell you that up front. Not these guys! Beware - don’t buy this thinking you’ll get the AR as shown like I did. Very disappointed in their lack of up front disclosure. The rest of the program is fine but no better than other apps that do the same thing. The tie breaker for me was the AR function which I did not actually get as advertised. Shame on you guys..Version: 5.17

Not as accurate as it used to be.I’ve been using this for years and have been very happy with it. However recently the distances have not been accurate - I’ve contacted Golfshot support quite a few times and have even send Live Photo info but the distances still seems to be inaccurate. I’ve done everything Golfshot ask me to to with regards resetting gps etc but this has made no difference. I hope they manage to resolve the issue as it has been a really good app and I enjoy using it..Version: 5.28

App is slick, but features are underwhelming for 2020Been using this since 2009, for the most part this is a great app. All features work as advertised. But when I look around, I see other competing apps have a lot more offering for the same price (or cheaper). For example: 1. No social features - can’t even view friends’ scorecards/record unless using a PC 2. Only basic stats tracking, no option to capture more insightful data 3. No strokes gained 4. Inability to enter a (-)Negative stableford score* - Aussies club golfers playing Par format will understand me *asked for this feature to be reinstated for over 2 years - Dev team said they’d look into it but never got it back.Version: 5.42

Golfshot ProI’ve had this app for years and have been totally satisfied until recently. However Recently distances have become inaccurate and most recently I’m no longer able to enter scores via my Apple Watch. This makes the app almost redundant for me. In frustration yesterday I signed up for the free week of the subscription service however this has made no difference. Not sure I’ll be continuing using this service once I have to pay..Version: 5.38

Started crashing 10 holes inHi, app crashed after 10 holes today and will not reopen without crashing. Appear to have lost the round. Devs please take a look..Version: 5.71

Please remove Facebook CrapThis app was the best ever. Then someone decided they needed to incorporate Facebook into it. People want to play golf. They use to have a running list of people who you regularly played with. You could recall the list and input them onto the score card. Some dope,that I'm sure doesn't play golf, removed that option on the last upgrade. So now if you don't have that person in your contacts list or in Facebook you can't input them. It takes up to much time trying to get the score card ready before you tee off. Please bring back the running list of players on the next upgrade. Other then that the app works great. It gives you info extremely fast which is what you need. Also this app freezes up every time during the round even though I have full cell service. Don’t waste your money.Version: 5.24

Ok, but poor interfaceIt does the basics, but there are a number of issues 1. My Iphone 7’s battery is close to 10% at end of round. Do a few course views, and actively use it to measure distances and it won’t last 18 holes 2. If one plays formats where one uses say, 90% handicap, G+ will not do it. Official club handicap changed by club overnight? G+ continues scoring with old handicap. 3. There are several mistakes one cannot recover from by going back. E.g. specify course A for first 9, and B for second 9, and if upon completion of A one prefers to play C, app fails. Start play and then adjust handicap of other players, ditto fails. 4. It takes too long to enter data.Version: 5.13.1

SWING ID doesn’t workFirstly I’d like to start by saying I love Golfshot and have been a paid user for 13 years! When SWING ID was announced I upgraded to Pro but despite many many emails to support over the last few weeks, it simply does not work. There is another review stating similar and the developer response was ‘it’s new and we’re working out the bugs’. In my world you don’t release something that doesn’t work! Cannot get a refund despite asking. So just beware if you’re thinking of upgrading.Version: 5.84

Bait and SwitchAre you kidding me? I paid the $30 for the app a couple of years ago and now they've come up with a scheme to milk more money out of me? Yes, thank you for the 7day free trial, not. I'd give it zero stars if I could..Version: 4.0.0

Great app but Apple Watch kills iPhone battI’ve used this app for years and love it. 5 stars on iPhone. 2 stars with Apple Watch. I’ve tried it with every iteration of the Apple Watch. The series 3 is finally the one with little to no lag but it really needs the option to use GPS from the watch itself and NOT have to turn off BT from iPhone. Playing a round on the iPhone consumes very little battery. However, using the Apple Watch just devours battery capacity on the phone with the repeated intermittent connectivity during the round..Version: 5.18

Was a Great App on a 3GS..... Not anymoreI'm also getting messed up GPS readings since the last update on my 3GS..... Tech support is giving suggestions on how to fix but none have worked thus far :(.Version: 3.2

GPS position incorrectI’ve used this app since it was first released and been very satisfied with it but recently I have noticed that the distances it gives are sometimes wildly out. On looking at the GPS image on the phone (iPhone X) the blue dot showing my position is often up to 20 yards away from where I’m actually standing..Version: 5.18

GolferYardage is off by 10 yards, short or long. Too bad becauae the app is good beside its one major feature. What is so wierd is that when I compare my yardage to friend's with the same app, hers is correct..Version: 5.38

Apple Watch app is unstableIt’s easy to see why Golfshot is one of the top, if not the top, golf apps. The iPhone app is excellent. However the Apple Watch app is buggy and crashes on occasion when I’m trying to enter my score and stats of a hole, hence the 3 stars instead of 5. It has always been this way for me ever since the Watch app first came out. Update: still having issues with watch app. Sometimes when I try to enter a score/stat, the screen autoflips back to main hole screen, often forcing me to enter the hole score and stats all over again. Taking away a star and now using the 18Birdies app as their watch app is perfectly stable..Version: 5.28

GPS Not worth the $$The scorecard fonction is amazing. The GPS is garbage. Distances continually change and are not accurate, even when standing still. Use the free version for the scorecard and don't be lured by the GPS function for $29.99. There is a reason this GPS is only $29.99!!!.Version: 2.5

Request course data is a problemI purchased this appiclation last week and used it to play a round on the weekend. I have a golf buddy standalone GPS as well. Overall, I am happy with this application. For the price of 29.99 ( plus tax ), it does the job of my golf buddy. In order to save the battery of the iphone, I have to press the power button when the device is not in use. When I turn on the device, it takes a few seconds to acquire GPS again. ( kind of annoying ). Now the downside. I read other review before I dish out $30. Other review says that adding a new course which is not in their course list is fast and it only take a day or two. After I purchased this application, I request a course where I play often. After a week, there is no response. I send them a email ( though their web interface only ) yesterday. Again, I don't get any response. I am not sure if there is a problem with the web interface or they choose to ignore me. very disappointing..Version: 0

Does not work on IwatchNot impressed. Iwatch series 4 cannot locate this app on my phone... Just want my money back....Version: 5.26.3

Doesn't work on iPhone 3GBefore latest version worked great - after upgrade GPS doesn't work. Tech support was not helpful. Final solution from tech support - buy new phone. I lost $30, thanks for nothing golfshot! They should change the permissions to prevent other 3G owners from wasting money or have older version available to 3G owners. I want to rollback to older version or be reimbursed..Version: 3.2

Good but could be betterHad it for years and love it but now we have the same handicap system around the world i think update is required to allow uk players link there handicap index to the system this would be beat any other similar item on the market..Version: 5.60

IWatch 4 Functions not entirely accessibleI have recently begun using my iWatch 4 with Golfshot Pro, which I purchased some time ago and have been very happy with through use on an iPhone 6s, however I’m unable to get any distances other than to the centre of the green?? I believe I purchased the ‘Pro’ version some years ago as indicated within the app whereby it doesn’t provide the option to upgrade my subscription, stating I’ve already subscribed & there is no expiry....Version: 5.26.3

Total waste of moneyI bought the Golfshot Plus today, as I just bought my Apple watch last night. I used it on the golf course today & the yds were totally off. In most cases anywhere from 10-20 yds. It is completely dependent on my iPhone to change holes, put in the score etc... It used up the battery on my iPhone & watch during 18 holes. I paid $149.99 plus tax & the way it is working now, I would like a refund. Please respond. Thank you, Jeff.Version: 5.81

Fix the App pleaseThe app works well but they did a TERRIBLE job updating information from my usual golf course that had a major renovation last year. This app is unusable at the Ladies Golf Club of Toronto. Golfshot plus needs to be more careful. I know that Garmin did a great job updating their maps..Version: 5.75

Good potential but a bit inconsistentIf it worked all the time it would get 5 stars but it’s a bit unreliable. Some par 3s on courses don’t record with the Apple Watch link. The watch also sometimes looses its connection to the App and you end up having to unlock the watch and launch the app on the phone for every shot. Generally it’s pretty good app. If problems were solved it would be excellent..Version: 5.60

Need More InformationThe app is ok on iPhone but pretty poor on Apple Watch. I was looking to replace my GPS range finder but the watch app only gives distance to green centre. Not good enough. Come on guys we’ve got the technology. Let’s get this sorted to give front and rear yardages..Version: 5.20

Pro versionHas this app for years now and paid about £30-40 for it. Since then the company has changed its plans and offer a subscription service which has made this app a little redundant. No front middle back distances on Apple Watch, no scoring etc on Apple Watch. There are plenty of free apps that offer this now..Version: 5.38

Latest update a let downUsed this app with no issues for over a year but the latest update has meant this no longer works with the Apple Watch. Contacted the developer and not getting much help from them. Go back to the last update please..Version: 5.22

What happened?This used to be a great app. I last used it 6 months ago and now it has changed. I paid good money to have much more functionality than it has now and feel extremely disappointed. I don't play enough golf to justify paying for a subscription... I hope the developers can fix the app or refund my money..Version: 4.0.0

No GoodThis App worked great last year now I can't connect to the satellites. I've tried everything, rebooted, updated, reinstalled etc etc and nothing helps. It's the only app on my phone that won't connect..Version: 2.5

Love Hate with GolfshotI purchased the premium version while golfing in Hawaii that’s the Love part of this. I live in Alaska and all my maps on this app are snow and ice I can’t see bunkers greens or tees. I’ve talked to a number of representatives from the company, most just blame Google for the maps, I did talk to one guy who said that shouldn’t be right we pay for updated maps all the time. Bottom line it’s been months (yes MONTHS) with no resolution. Apparently Alaska is not a big enough market to worry about for them. Do your research before paying for the Premium Service. I’m now looking toward Hole 19 at least their maps have green grass on them. Very frustrated from Alaska. I was not offered a refund or anything..Version: 5.21

Used to be goodVersion 3.5 if this app was awesome. Worked intuitively and quickly. I used it for every round and it helped me immensely. Then they completely rewrote the app to this pile of garbage. You need a subscription to get the best bits and the latest update doesn’t work properly on iPhone X. I cannot make any settings changes. Bring back the old version!!.Version: 5.13.1

Do NOT update. Apple Watch app ruined!!! Getting worse with every updateI was on v4.2 and had no issues. Apple Watch was very quick to update yardages as soon as you raised your wrist. V4.4 has ruined that. It is now painfully slow to update on the Apple Watch. Users old and new who want to use Apple Watch DO NOT GET THIS APP OR UPDATE!!!! UPDATE FOR VERSION 5.14 EVEN WORSE!!!! Ever since the latest updates that enabled GPS on the Apple Watch...experience using the Apple Watch has declined. Especially if you keep your phone on you to keep score....the connection between the watch and phone is non-existent...and yardages are never consistent between the two. With the latest update and turning off “watch GPS always ON”. Its even WORSE. You are forced to turn that feature on and eat the battery life on the watch...just to get updated yardages. This SHOULDN’T be if you keep your phone on you the WHOLE time and use the gps on the phone and not the watch. LATEST UPDATE after contacting support. I was told that other members have had better experience with the latest updates and dismissed my issues. POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. IPhone app is great. BUT if you want to use the iphone app in conjunction with your Apple Watch and not drain the watches battery. STAY AWAY from golfshot..Version: 5.14
