GHIN for Positive User Reviews

✓ RECOMMENDED UPDATEPlease update the GHIN App “My Courses” option of the Profile section to allow the user to designate one of the courses as default “HOME”. I recognize that it can be done when starting a round but that option does not standout and I (and many of my golf buddies) fail to select it. I also understand that if I joined through my home club it would be the default. However, it is a lot more convenient for me to renew my membership on-line..KickinbirdieVersion: 5.3.0

✓ No more banditsThis app is a must for every golfer - it will help you generate an accurate handicap whereas till now handicaps were just a guess in many countries Make play fairer and more competitive.Apes Hill PlayerVersion: 3.0.3

✓ Simple fix?Enjoy the app, though only use for keeping score and then post-round posting. Agree with other comments that it’s a nuisance having to re-click “GHIN” to have it reappear on the face after lowering hand. Biggest gripe, though, is that the user should be able to change face element colors—such as to white background with dark lettering. That, or make the hole being played white lettering (or some other higher contrast color, such as bright yellow). Right now “Hole” appears as gray on a black background in a smaller font size. In bright daylight, this is VERY difficult to clearly see—particularly if one is older and needs “readers” (that I don’t wear while playing golf)..FeO2y1957Version: 4.9.2

✓ 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

✓ Only legitimate way to keep your handicapYou can follow your friends and keep track of their scores and current index, but I wish you could like and comment on peoples posted scores! Being able to interact with your friends you follow would be a great addition to the app.Good llama gone badVersion: 4.8.0

✓ Great app, just one suggestionEverything is great about this app except for one thing. The app is compatible with my Apple Watch, but it would be nice to be able to get yardage on my watch as well as my phone because it slows me down to have to look at my phone to get yardages..TheAxe-DuckVersion: 5.2.0

✓ Text size is too smallThe GHIN app could benefit from auto selecting a club based upon your distance to the green or hazards. The text is also too small for golfers that need readers. Maybe change the size of the icons for club selection? Also I am having issues with the club selection tool not keeping the shot sequence in order. Could be user error..J.mackeyVersion: 5.3.1

✓ Unable to enter scoresUsing version 4.6.1. I played last weekend and was unable to enter hole-by-hole scores, with or without stats. I could view the GOS view of each hole, but couldn’t switch to the scorecard view. Posting a score after the round appears to work. Might this have something to do with the date of play being outside the active score posting season for my region?.JdrobisonVersion: 4.6.1

✓ GpsI paid extra to get gps to work with my Apple Watch. It was not as good because of some loss of connection but over time it has been much better. I previously had used Golfshot and I like the connection to my handicap program. I now use my gps more than my rangefinder. There has been significant improvement over the past 5 months..Doc SurrattVersion: 5.0.2

✓ Need a comparison chart for statsWith all the stats, I enter, it would be nice to have the ghin app compare my average stats to other golfers of my same handicap for example, greens in regulation percentage, fairways hit percentage, putts per round number…Etc. that would give me a target to see what I need to work on a little bit better. That would be easy to do I would think with all the data that the gin app is collecting from all golfers..Elmo307Version: 5.3.1

✓ Good app but last update disables auto lockAfter the last update, the app prevents the phone from auto locking. I understand why it would do this while using GPS but not while I just entered a score. I have to manually put the phone to sleep after entering my score otherwise the battery drains..ChinhsterVersion: 4.5.2

✓ GHIN ApplicationWithout a doubt this is the best application for golf there is and I would recommend it to everyone who plays golf. It has so many great features that everyone should enjoy and it will make a better golfer for everyone. I use it for all my courses and I have been enjoying it every since I started using the application..My Geese albumVersion: 5.3.1

✓ 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

✓ Golf Lookup featureSearch for a golfer on the aystem is horribly flawed. Many times registered players don’t show up. I hope they read this and fix it. Still doesn’t work all the time. Seems like once you create a favorite list of someone like Smith you can never add another person with the same last name ! It won’t search the data base. FIX IT !.MachKingVersion: 4.9.0
