GHIN Pros

Phone App Great - Watch, not so muchThe app for the phone is amazing. I love that it keeps handicap, has enhanced GPS, has heat and putt maps, stat tracking, handicap calculator, etc…. One major flaw is that with the Apple Watch, the GPS still uses yardage from your phone. So, sorry for you if it’s cart path only. Sorry if your partner drops you and takes the cart. The watch app is also constantly closing on your wrist, so, reopening and having to allow it to calibrate again is annoying. GHIN needs to take a note from Hole19 and GolfShot and allow the watch app to utilize the watch GPS on GPS mode only, this way, your watch shows accurate yardage. I find that the biggest difference is the other apps allow Apple Watch with GPS to use the watches GPS and stay open for the full round (phone or not) by utilizing the health app. I use the phone for approaches and around the greens (mainly when we are driving to an approach shot and/or parking to walk to putt and wanting to see the green slopes), then I leave my phone in the cart and I use GolfShot for my watch GPS..KuhrhfhurdhiVersion: 5.3.0

Golfer Must HaveIf you are a frequent player, and/or enjoy competing for money this is a must have app. Eliminates sandbaggers and evens the playing field. Creates fairness for a 16 handicapper vs a 4 to be competitive. Had one of those days couple months back, shot a 78, with a GHIN of 19. USGA “penalized” me 2 strokes to a 17 for having a superb score. While I captured all the $$$, my playing partners were insistent I post a 78. Fun to look back on previous scores, noting coulda/shoulda’s that took you out of the $$$ by (1) stroke. Simple to get your HDCP for that particular course when you have their rating. If you are new to golf, a great way to build your hdcp. RTinAZ.No3Putts4UVersion: 5.0.2

GHIN Cons

GPS Doesn't Work ProperlyIt loses track of the course constantly during rounds and I have to re-enter the course that I'm on, wait for it to "download" again, and then find the hole that I'm on every time I want to look at yardage or enter my score. So, it's just not good and very annoying to try to use the GPS. If that were fixed it would be a great app, but it simply doesn't work as a GPS app. Look elsewhere for that. It gets 2 stars for being able to enter scores to GHIN. But that's pretty generous still for such a simple task..JbjbjbjbjjbjbVersion: 5.3.1

Apple Watch App Doesn’t WorkI was excited to see that they finally made the app available on the Apple Watch, but like others that have posted it works poorly or if at all. It worked one time for me and it kept closing between shots and I had to reopen the app on the watch every time. This is poorly designed - it should remain open and active on the watch until the user closes it. Since the one time it “worked” I have not been able to get the app to actually launch on my watch. There is plenty of available storage, so that is not the issue. I have totally abandoned trying to get it to work. The app is useless until the developers fix these issues..Kurt in PghVersion: 4.9.1
