Customer support is generally responsive, but some users report ongoing unresolved issues, including syncing problems and app freezing during rounds.

The app's stability, especially on Galaxy smartwatches, is a major concern, with frequent freezing, slow updates, and GPS signal loss reported by many users. Despite some improvement attempts, persistent bugs severely disrupt gameplay, forcing users to rely on their phones instead. Overall, the watch app is often described as buggy and unreliable, detracting from the user experience.
- “The companion app for the Galaxy Watch Active 2 only lets me track shots and putts for about 3 holes before it freezes, even when the phone is in my pocket.”
- “The watch app frequently freezes or is very slow when updating distance data.”
- “After the May 17 update, the screen freezes and I can't update anything.”

The graphics receive mixed feedback, with users appreciating the detail and map visuals but criticizing the outdated, cluttered appearance, long loading times, and small size on wearable devices. Many feel the graphics lag behind competitors and could benefit from improved aesthetics and investment. Overall, while functional, the visuals need enhancements to better meet user expectations.
- “I'm very impressed with the detail stored and the graphics.”
- “I can come home and review every shot I made on the dashboard; with map visuals.”
- “I would like to see some better statistic graphics and a little better map screen, but overall, I'm overjoyed.”
- “Time to load the graphics for the maps is way too long.”
- “They should invest more money into the graphics.”

The app offers a reasonable one-time fee to remove ads, which many users appreciate, though some note occasional unobtrusive banner ads and occasional push notification ads even for paid subscribers. Advertisements are generally minimal and non-intrusive, especially when compared to competitors with more aggressive ad practices. Overall, monetization is seen as fair, balancing free access with optional paid upgrades.
- “Worth the one-time fee for no ads.”
- “Added push notification advertisements in the most recent update, even for paid subscribers.”
- “I tried Swingu, just expensive at 100 and too many ads for free.”
- “A monthly advertisement for partner products is still an advertisement.”

Users generally find the app's optimization satisfactory, with reliable club recommendations and effective shot tracking that enhances performance analysis. Some minor performance issues were resolved after a support-guided reboot, leading to improved app functionality.
- “Its club recommendations based on my previous performance are reliable.”
- “You can track the distance of your clubs respectively, which helps you analyze your performance.”
- “So we can track our group's performance across the season/multiple games for shot tracking and suggested clubs, distinguish between tee shots vs rough vs fairway, etc. Usually, I am clubbing up from the suggestion on my tee shot because I know I'll hit better than the average from the fairway.”
story

Users find the story aspect hindered by slow, laggy navigation and inaccurate distance measurements, making it frustrating to use. While the app offers useful features like flyovers and score tracking, GPS inaccuracies and cumbersome controls detract from the overall experience.
- “Only thing I would add is a quick way to see distance to hazards on watch.... can easily get data plot layups or carries.”
- “Gives me distances, fly over of the hole if playing a new course, can record all four ball scores and I can plot my way round a course as well.”
- “For get about totting around golf card, just open this app and show your friends the score.... them believing you is another story.”
- “Slow, laggy, and tapping the map to find distances is a mission in itself; the distance pointer is never where I tap.”
- “I played Mission Lakes Desert Hot Springs CA. The GPS was out by 15-25 yards on every hole.”
- “Forget about tottering around with a golf card, just open this app and show your friends the score; them believing you is another story.”
