monetization
71 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

The app is heavily criticized for its excessive and intrusive advertising, especially during active play, which disrupts the user experience and drains battery life. Many users report persistent ads even after subscribing, alongside frequent push notifications and spam emails promoting paid upgrades. While some find the free version usable despite ads, the aggressive monetization tactics and lack of a straightforward ad-free purchase option negatively impact overall satisfaction.
- “If you can get past the constant ads, it's a great app, but the ads get in the way of your game and intentionally pop up at bad times and are annoying to dismiss.”
- “Just so you know—you might be disappointed by the numerous interruptions during your round of golf for advertising and the almost countless emails you'll receive with endless offers on how to 'save' (by spending money).”
- “With the latest update, this app has gone crazy with pop-up advertising; every time I bring up the app to get yardage, I have to clear out a pop-up ad to purchase premium. Way too obtrusive.”

Users report that the app suffers frequent bugs, crashes, and freezes, especially after recent updates, significantly impacting usability during rounds. While it was once stable and accurate, ongoing stability issues, including GPS glitches and unresponsive touch inputs, have frustrated many, leading to frequent reinstalls and a decline in user satisfaction.
- “Very accurate and no glitches!”
- “The new version is very buggy and it also does not seem like a way to treat recurring customers.”
- “Buggy app - tried to use on the golf course several times, because of an ad that pops up just before the 9th/18th hole, the app keeps crashing.”
- “This app was awesome....now it is terrible...when I go to save or end round it doesn't do anything...like it freezes...and now it takes forever to get yardages right...whatever you did sucks...it was a five-star rating before now I'd give it -2...oh and I'm a premium member...but that's about to change.”

Users generally praise the graphics for being clear, accurate, and effective in displaying key elements like trees, bunkers, and yardages. However, some find the course visuals lacking detail, making it difficult to distinguish features such as bunkers or water. A few users also miss interactive shot-tracking features that visually map their play.
- “The overall graphics, ease of use, and information quality are all very good.”
- “Very accurate, great graphics and it is all I need at my advanced age.”
- “Good graphics clearly displaying trees and bunkers.”

Optimization issues in the app include slow saving times, app freezing, and poor GPS map performance, negatively impacting user experience. Updates have somewhat improved battery usage related to ads, but overall support is lacking and automatic hole progression is unreliable. Enhanced optimization and better support are needed to reach higher satisfaction.
- “With the free version, you get a GPS view of the course and yardage to any point of your choosing plus a digital scorebook. With the subscription, you can track yardage for each club and record details for each hole quickly, helping you develop a record of performance. The app also acts as a virtual caddy as you accumulate more data.”
- “After posting a 1-star review and receiving two unhelpful support emails, they updated the app to improve the effect of ads on battery performance.”
- “The part I enjoy most is the data on statistics, which gives me the opportunity to look at my performance trends.”
- “App has taken a bad hit in performance; it doesn't always automatically go to the next hole after inputting a score.”
- “No FAQ page, no email address or phone number to call; the app freezes even when using high performance mode.”
- “My problem is with the performance moving the map around.”
