1. 3/5Good GPS & Scorecard but needs more Stats

   The GPS is very good and I like how the scorecard allows you to track fairways hit, putts, and greens hit. Good data to see but needs improvement. After your round completes, they should be throwing data in your face. “Hey you had 34 putts this round, 2 less than average” “your FIR was 10% better this round” etc but instead it’s just lumped into your career stats so I can’t tell if I improved or not. Once I save my scorecard down, all the details are gone and you can’t access it other than the hole by hole score. I’m here for the stats to see if I’m improving! Currently exploring other apps that can do this.

2. 3/5Good app but could be better

   This is not the app I normally use but have been using it for my Monday morning round with my friends so that we could all use the same app and see everything as we go. Unfortunately we are a fivesome and this app only allows for 4 unless you add another group which then has to be scored by someone the person that is in that group on his own. The gps is ok but the transition from gps to scoring could be better. After you put in the scores and press done I would think it would go back to gps but you have to make it go back to gps. It should transition to gps on its own so you are ready for the next hole.

3. 4/5Almost perfect

   I have tried a lot of apps. Some of them paid. They are all a disappointment. The Grint, 19 bides and a few others. The are not intuitive, or don’t track basics. Everyone has been distracting and frustrating during the round. Golf complete is by far the best. Wish it would track greens in regulation. It tracks fairways, puts and penalties. Gives you front middle back and adjusted for elevation approach distances. I think it is misssing match or skins play. Can’t remember which. When I play with a buddy we track as many different typess of games as possible so someone gets a moral victory. Can’t do all at once if I remember. What I do know is that I keep trying other paid apps and by hole three I am closing the app and opening golf complete and entering the past holes. Pleas add GIR then I will never try another app. Thank you!

4. 4/5Disapointing

   I originally used the regular golfnow app to track my scores and to use as a rangefinder, however it is now a requirement to use this golfnow compete app. I loved it at first-even more than the original-but I was very disappointed to see that it wont allow me to submit scores for when Im not playing 18 holes. This is a terrible feature, and it is very restricting due to the fact that I usually only play 9 holes. Other than this fact It is an amazingly useful app which I use all the time, and if they fix this problem then it will for sure be a 5 star rating from me.

5. 3/5Some glitches and design issues, otherwise very good

   Comparing to old Golfnow app. The pros: Interface is a little more nifty, seamless getting back to the app from lock screen, includes handicap, maintained all golf history from old app. Also I like that you can change the pin position. It also has an option for auto-scoring. That would be very cool if it worked. The cons: can’t record 9 holes anymore, the home screen seems to have a glitch - only shows 1 round, no average or best score despite lots of history from old app and 2 rounds with new app. Also my handicap did not change after 2nd round and I am not sure it was impacted by my first round with new app. Also, I cannot figure out how to add golfers to my round like in the old app. And auto scoring doesn’t work. (It’s not that it got it wrong, it just didn’t ever function.) Finally, the app needs to be reloaded between each play and I find I need to access it from the play now feature in the old app or it glitches - won’t open; just closes when I try. If the glitches get fixed and add back features of play 9 and add golfers this will be 5 stars.
