★★★★★ 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!

The recent upgrade had many things wrong with it, most of which have subsequently been corrected. However, an ongoing issue is that the statistic for Fairways hit on the Scorecard differs from the Fairways hit recorded in Statistics and on the pc Dashboard. Today my scorecard correctly recorded 10 Fairways hit but the Statistics recorded only 6 Fairways hit. That's a huge discrepancy that has not been fixed for over 2 months. Be warned until the developer confirms this has been fixed.

Was great until the most recent update. Mostly works, however, Can't open a lot of older scorecards on the app, yet they work on the Web page. I play regularly with a friend and had all of his scores as well, during the last update it lost all that data and renamed him as just "player", there's about 5 different versions of it with multiple scores all over the place. Slow, laggy and tapping map to find distances is a mission in itself, the distance pointer is never where I tap. Hopefully fix

I've been subscribing for a few years now and find that basically, Golf Pad is a good app. However lately I've been having problems with the individual hole indexes, which means it scores me incorrectly on only two of the holes, but after several months of trying to have it rectified nothing has been done. Very, very disappointing when you can't get what you're paying for.
