★★★★★ 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!

Best app on the market for the price. I have tried the competition and for the price GP blows them away. The only downside is to track you have to use your watch or play with your phone in your pocket. Personally i hate having my phone in my pocket when playing so the tags are a no go for me. Tracking on the watch works great but isn't ideal. All GP needs to do is #BringBackTheLink. It was the easiest thing and worked into the pre shot routine

I have used this app for 3 years now and the changes they have made to it during that time have been awesome. Plays like distances include the weather (including temp and wind) plus elevation and they are right on. When you stop at your ball it tells you what club to use. I no longer use my laser device because this app is better. The only thing I would add would be automatic distance tracking of shots with a big number you can read displayed under the plays like distance.

Thank you for the review Karl and glad to hear you are enjoying Golf Pad! The option to enter all club distances is coming soon. For now you can enter the Driver and PW distance and the app will extrapolate distances for other clubs. Also if you track shots in Golf Pad, the app will analyze and determine highly accurate distance for each club.

I've used this app 20+ times beginning with the free version. I learned the features as I went along and finally bought the premium version. There are a lot of features to use but you have to take a little time to put them to the test. The only concern I have is that you can't select the starting tee position. However, it does give you the right GPS position when you are at your starting tee. All of the features so far have worked seamlessly without a problem. I haven't tried the tag but..
