  1. 4/5Battery runs out

    Overall it’s a great app. Latest upgrade got stuck in a loop and kept asking me to select a club. I had to turn off this option to make it usable. I often run out of battery so it would be nice to know how to improve the battery life.

  2. 5/5A Free App that’s better than most subscription apps!

    I have been using this free golf GPS app on my Apple Watch Ultra for over 4 months now and it is amazingly reliable and accurate. Not only are the app’s reported yardages at my home course spot on when tested against sprinkler-marked yardages, they have also never been more than +/- 1 yard different from the best handheld range finders on the market. If you need more accurate front/ middle/ back yardages to greens than that, then you should be on tour with a professional caddie! Other great features: - I don’t have to run the app simultaneously on my iPhone, as the two GPS chips in the Apple Watch Ultra can handle all the heavy lifting without chewing up a lot of the watch’s battery. - the app has never failed to locate and download another course I might be visiting. - the app auto-progresses from hole to hole and the displayed yardages are large enough to be read easily. - the app can also auto-detect a swing and measure shot distance (although this is, frankly, something I seldom use since I can do distance math in my head like the rest of the thinking world! Those same basic counting skills mean I also don’t need “scoring” features on a golf GPS app, especially since courses still have things like scorecards and pencils if I ever find it too difficult to keep track of my score in my head!) All the features of Golf4Watch just work and are free. I repeat - FREE! Compare this app with other Apple Watch golf apps out there and see how much they charge for “premium features” or for monthly or annual subscriptions. For me, I simply love being able to wear the same watch before, during, and after a round. I get all the functionality of my Apple Watch and a great and simple golf GPS in one device. As a result, my Garmin S62 golf watch now sits unused in a desk drawer, hidden away so as not to visually taunt me for how much I paid for something that this little app does for free. Get this, use it, and you’ll be happy. Kudos to the developer for sharing it.

  3. 5/5Simple and it works

    I’ve tried many golf apps and this is the one that works best. It’s simple and it performs the most important task (front, center, back of green) perfectly. It’s easy to read for those of us that need readers but don’t wear them on the course. The shot tracking is a nice perk as well. Also, it doesn’t drain your Apple Watch battery like so many others.

  4. 5/5Great customer service and great app

    I really love the simplicity of the app. I only use it for yardages so I have turned everything off except that. I did have to stop using it because of the battery issue, but after speaking with the developer he made it where you could choose to use your phone’s gps. Great customer service.

  5. 5/5A hidden gem indeed

    Love this stand alone gps for Apple Watch. Just the basics. Love it. Uses about 50% of a full charge for 18 holes. Still plenty left to get you through your day. Would love to see the addition of a simple way to just keep your score. Keep up the great work
