The Official Rules of Golf for Negative User Reviews
✓ App does not openGet the message “Sorry something went wrong” RETRY Been trying for a few days now..Version: 6.5
✓ Broke? Trash? Unusable.Doesn’t even open. What kind of joke is this?.Version: 6.5
✓ Works only on newest iPhonesI could not update the app on my iPhone or iPad--they're not new enough. This is the ONLY app I'm not able to update on my devices. So the new rules are available only to players who have new phones?.Version: 6.2
✓ ErrorIt will no longer open on my iPad but works on my phone..Version: 6.5
✓ No SoundWhy isn’t there any sound?.Version: 6.2
✓ New rulesI’ve been a golf pro for over 40 years and feel like I know the rules of golf relatively well but since y’all re wrote them and made the changes, I can’t find many of the simplest rules of golf that have been changed or re written. I spend more time trying to find a rule for varification than if read the whole rules of golf. Mostly just venting but don’t understand why the rules are so confusing now and hard to find to show anyone proof of a rule. Johnny Dill , PGA Golf Professional.Version: 6.5
✓ App won’t open on iPadThe app will not open on iPad message say Sorry something went wrong try again. I tried to delete the app but I could only remove it from my Home Screen.Version: 6.5
✓ Use the book, not this appThis app is certainly a lot cheaper than buying "The Rules of Golf" or the companion "Decisions on the Rules of Golf"; however, it is immediately apparent that the books are more useful. This was a great idea that was poorly designed. There are two words that best described the search capabilities --- unbearable slow. You can look decisions up much faster with the book. As a person currently working on increasing the level of my rules certification, I was looking forward to have this with me on the golf cart on my iPad. I cannot see a reason why I will ever look at this app again. The USGA can do much better than this. If you are taking your rules education seriously, use the books..Version: 1.2.2
✓ Had no idea you had to side scroll🤦🏻♂️ It took me a year to realize you could side scroll. I found it by accident as there was no indication anywhere that the pages displayed that way. Nothing in the “How to use the App” section. I kept going back to the original index and then clicking on the section I wanted as opposed to just scrolling sideways from page to page. 🤦🏻♂️ And typical of the USGA and rules people, there are sections that say “for example” but doesn’t list everything. I think people are going to want to know what all those things are, so why not just list them?!?!! This is such a cumbersome and tedious App to navigate, just like the Rules of Golf are, even in printed form. But that is also typical of many American instruction manuals and basic language where things are muddled because it’s a very “general” type of language and not specific, and is written that way. Even the definitions of the playing areas are labelled as “general.”🙄.Version: 6.5
✓ App won’t loadTried to open the app multiple times and get the error that something went wrong and it will not load.Version: 6.5
✓ No connection?I am sitting in my office, next to my WiFi router and the app still states “no internet connection, try again” over and over. I have dumped it and reloaded and still cannot open this app. Useless..Version: 6.2.1
✓ App Won'tDownloadUnfortunately, this app, unlike the 2018 Rules of Golf app, will not download on my iPad. The icon appears, as if the app has fully downloaded. However, when I try to open it, all I get is a message noting "Downloading the latest Rules of Golf updates,".but nothing actually downloads. Oh yes, I receive another message saying that I have no internet connection, which is wrong, since I have a good connection, which was more than sufficient to fully download the 2018 Rules of Golf app..Version: 6.1
✓ The App requires an Index for the Decisions.While, the publication of the Rules alone is pretty straightforward. In use, the Decisions often are needed. Having a cross-referenced Index for the Decisions would be extremely helpful. You've already done the work in the print edition. Please add it to the App..Version: 5.7
✓ I wish the text was largerAs most of us grow older our vision degrades and we need vision help. The iphone has heloed tremendously with the ability to enlarge the default text. I this app would utilize this capability. As a result the app is unusable for me..Version: 6.1
✓ Used to workApp used to work but now it crashes every time I open it.Version: 6.5
✓ App will not openUsed app a bit a while ago. Trying to use it now and I keep getting a “sorry try again later” message. Contacted support and they responded with a generic acknowledgement that I contacted them. Nothing more….Version: 6.5
✓ App stopped workingI would have given it 5 stars for the way it used to work but now it gets 1 star because, although it was a great resource, the app has quit on me. Recently, when I try to open the app I get the message “Sorry, something went wrong. Retry” Frustrating! (Please help!).Version: 6.5
✓ Not an appIts a portal to the USGA website. So when you are out of cell service area it is useless. Get the PDF for free on the usga website and save it to ibooks..Version: 6.3.1
✓ Won’t openThe app will no longer open up. I’m on the latest iOS 14.2.1 iPhone 12 Pro Max..Version: 6.4
✓ Lousy search function“Search” retries irrelevant topics often that fail to include key words. Try for example ‘casual water’..Version: 6.2.1
✓ Completely UselessTries to update with latest rules, but fails with the saying “Sorry, something went wrong.” Well USGA, sorry, your app is unusable..Version: 6.1
✓ Rules of golfThe actual rules are nowhere to be found, much less the interpretations. Instead a seemingly random set of “situations” is addressed in no apparent order. Give me back the rule book and interpretations and get rid of this confusing mishmash..Version: 6.2
✓ Exact match search makes it difficultWhen searching for a rule having to to use exact match wording makes it very difficult for ‘non-rules’ golfers. A more robust search engine would really be helpful. Is truly like to use the app but too difficult..Version: 5.9
✓ Solid appJust updated, but failed to add iPhone X support..Version: 5.8
