★★★★★ Great app!
I've been using this app for a few years now and have never had a problem with it. The accuracy compared with a range finder is spot on. I've played 27 holes using this and still had plenty of battery power left. Great app!

Golf Pad: Golf GPS & Scorecard users say on Google Play
I like the fact it doesn't need a data connection on course. I start it with a wifi connection, update the map and go. I like it enough to upgrade after 14 day trial. I expect to keep it. Lots of good info on club distance and green contours. The more I use it, the more comfortable I get with the app functions. Club recommendations are very good. I like that I'm able to edit out bad hits so that I get a more accurate number for each clubs distance.
12/27/25 - only thing I need now is to be able to plan the 3rd shot which means keeping the first shot position while you move the 2nd shot position like Grint. 11/7/22 - Tried several but this is the best and most straightforward out there, don't want to be fiddling on the course during round. I never use the club's scorecard anymore. Works well with my Samsung watch. Favorite is to review the game after when shot tracking. Love it!
This app used to be THE best golf app available. The most recent updates have destroyed this app. My golf club tags have been intermittent and improperly recording the club. The phone lock works for a couple of holes, then I find that it's changed to some other settings page that then becomes a huge distraction to my game. I used to be able to tap and go and simply look at my statistics at the end of the round, but not any more. I believe they can't keep up with phone software updates.
I've had this app for a couple years and loved it with the classic app. since I've been using with a new Samsung watch and new app it randomly adds clubs on holes. set itself to meters. can't stay on the right hole. no idea what is going on. probably going to have to switch to another system
annoying. Time consuming also I find it annoying to be tied to a phone while playing. Often forget to use the system. In truth interferes with my playing. I have had a range finder in my bag for a year. Have not used it . Not for me. Too much tech. tried for the final time today. Enough. played 3 shots to about 10 yards from green. went to register 4th shot register as first shot. A total distraction from my game, annoying to the point of won't be using this app again. Waste of money.
