Understand The Good and Bad Ratings
I understand the good and bad ratings. Ive had this app for almost 4 years and dont remember if it was advertised as free initially. But it definitely should not be adversised as free if customers cant use any functionalities for free. That is definitely misleading.
One of the PROs to this app is that this app is the only app that offers a lifetime subscription compared to the other apps I downloaded when I first started playing golf. I refuse to keep paying money into an app to continue using it.
A CON to this app is that iOS 3 on the Apple Watch drains the battery watch fast. I dont know what the difference between other users and me but the battery drains fast on both my Apple Watch Series 1 and 2. Overall, the battery is far superior on the Series 2 but my watch cannot stand up to the Fun Golf App. Today I went from 100 percent to 37 after using it for one round.
I was origially going to write Shot Tracking as a CON but I never knew they had a User Guide until tonight. I looked for it prior to writing this review. The User Guide must be read (in my opinion) prior to using Shot Tracking. I think the stats the app gives you after a round are amazing. Unfortunately some of mine were always wrong because I was inputting my shots wrong. A CON to the shot tracking also is that it automatically selects a club. Oftentimes it would auto-select a club that I wasnt using. Id go in and change the club and the app would change the club back. I want to get this right but oftentimes Ill just not use shot tracking during the round.
Customer service is a PRO. Ive contacted them a few times to get a course updated etc. and they were always responsive. The respective course got updated each and every time.
Graphics is a PRO. You can see from some of the screenshots. Its not a Google Map, etc. thats hard to distinguish one hole from another if youre playing on a links style course.
In summary, Ive tried other apps but Ive kept coming back to this one. This is my favorite and I recommend. Detailed Shot Tracking can be challenging and it drains the battery on both series of the Apple Watch but this app is a must. Graphics are remarkable. I like the color codes on the scorecard. Ive played golf around the world and this app has had every course. I paid $40 (at the time) for the lifetime membership. I think I paid another fee for use with the Apple Watch. Customer Service is excellent and always responsive.
