The Open Positive Reviews
True vision of an outstanding championshipI’m very impressed with this incredibly simple but rich app. The graphics are clear and sharp. The navigation is easy. The information, overall, is concise and obviously not written by some marketing-hacker. The crowing feature of the app is the well-designed Course Guide which (at least prior to the start of the Championship) provides a beautiful interface for browsing the details of every hole on the Dunluce Links. I can’t wait to see it in action once the event begins in earnest! Great job! This is by far the best dedicated Major event app..JJenkins47Version: 2.0.2
"The Open one of a true Golfer's Dreams"All who play the game have a deep respect for The Open,* its long history, and it's' mental challenge, it is just GOLF - at its best...!
*Golfers have been blessed with so many wonderful courses world-wide to play. Many in different capacities have invested, designed, built, maintained, and repaired courses giving golfers memories not forgotten of: wins, losses, matches, putts made and missed, miraculous shots, chokes, partners, friendships, scenery, trips, legendary courses, contributed to building Character and Memories for ever. a Brown brother golfer.6th Brown BrotherVersion: 2.2.9
Best Coverage of any Major!From the brilliantly planned and executed comms team, to the comprehensive resources and options to explore….. this app and production team should win an award. It is by far, the best coverage of any major championship. They use humor, analysis, play-by-play cheeky descriptions and connect directly with the audience through email, tweets etc on air. The Masters should take not about the accessibility and modern touch this championship takes!.Naked bootlegVersion: 2.5.5
World class coverage and honor of the game of golf!The professionalism exhibited by The Open and the time-honoring way they treat history is amazing. From videos, podcasts, segments, chronicles….ALL of it is done first class. Rolex and The Open Championship make for the ultimate partnership, hopefully, this will continue long into the future. Thank you. You made my life richer and the great game of golf showcased for the world to see! Well done!.E.Tres.Version: 2.3.0
Thank youI don’t want to update my phone and I was not able to watch them all three majors as year because I can’t watch it unless the app is able to work with my phone. Thank you so much for allowing those of us who don’t have the proper technology to still enjoy the golf..L.F.G.!!!Version: 2.5.6
Radio and Live TV don’t continue to playThe first round radio or live tv doesn’t stay on for more than 5-10 minutes. Very annoying to have it cut out during a key moment in the tournament..Kurt5075Version: 2.6.2
Commercials at a minimumI’m really enjoying going back and forth with the two featured groups without having to endure annoying commercials every time. Brilliant app!.Toolman64Version: 2.2.9
Great Golf App!Thank you, for your coverage of the 150th OPEN! Y’all do a great job and this is the next best thing to being there. Keep doing what you’re doing and I’ll keep watching here in TEXAS!.SkipperLSU13Version: 2.3.1
Sad about minimum groups to watchNot as good as Augusta, not as good as the U.S. Open. And the reason for that is because they’re only offering two showcases of groups and not even the leaders can be seen. I think that’s downright disgusting. I’m a huge Golf fan and severely disappointed and how they’ve handled this..BrispoliVersion: 2.6.4
Limited viewingWould be real nice to see the end of the tournament while traveling home after spending 4 days on the course. It is dreadful how hard media has made it to watch marquee events. They will eventually subscription us to death!.Grog_PDXVersion: 2.7.3
Love the favorites toggleI prefer the ability to toggle my favorites on the leaderboard; as opposed to always having them shown at the top of the leaderboard. The PGA Tour app shows favorites at the top and it just gets in the way later into tournaments..Loupus MaximusVersion: 2.0.2
Brilliant coverage!Image and audio quality are both quite nice, well informed commentary which is appropriately limited, and almost no ads. I love it!.C5back9Version: 2.3.1
Great commentary and videoThe video quality is excellent and I’m watching on an ipad. It is limited on what you can watch live which is unfortunate as there was very little on the leader Friday and Saturday. Should be one of the featured groups for sure..CMBMinnVersion: 2.5.6
Good App missing a few features.Overall this is fine but it badly needs shotlink data or an equivalent. Very frustrating in 2022 to not be able to follow a player shot by shot..Yukster11Version: 2.3.2
Awesome Open!!You all sure know how to put on a show over the pond!! Keep up the good work showing all the good content of behind the scenes..JcmoyVersion: 2.5.6
CoverageThis years coverage is cheap, you get par 3, 2 feature groups, and range. Where is total coverage, oh ya this isn’t the Masters (best streaming coverage)..AshlandeagleVersion: 2.5.6
Great App except when minimizeGreat quality streaming on the Live Feeds. However, when you minimize the window to run other apps, the app randomly crashes after a few minutes..CMHTerpsVersion: 2.3.1
Video challengesI signed up and still couldn’t get all the videos. But I’m loving what I can see!.VagolfergirlVersion: 2.2.7
Needs workThe app is not very user friendly, and lacks in information and player shots. The app is lacking, especially for a major..StuDawVersion: 2.3.1
ReviewExcellent coverage and commentary, thoroughly enjoyable.
The commentary banter was almost more entertaining than the golf itself.
Thank you.MuligantommyVersion: 2.3.2
Don’t miss a shot!Video and commentary on every hole for the group you are following..JustinV3Version: 2.2.9
CelebrationThere is no event as special as The Open Championship at St Andrews.
Thank you for all you do for the game, R&A.
This will be an unforgettable week..Joshua EvensonVersion: 2.3.1
BanditStashNot much more to add to the other 5 Star reviews as all it would be is redundant! Simply bravo! 💪.AvidGolfer44Version: 2.6.3
Could be better.Color selections and font chaos on each tab make this app almost unreadable and hard to use..Wizz_Version: 2.5.6
Internet transmissionTerrible connection…. Trying to watch feature groups …. Goes on and off …. Buffering is terrible.SLL59Version: 2.2.9
Live view coverageApp stops the coverage after a few mins of watching.Jpot93Version: 2.3.2
Brilliant!No spot of bother could be found with this glorious app. Great Video, marquee feature groups. Radio so quick and easy to turn on and off. I want to see you hit a home run with this one, but it’s more like a hole in one 🏌️♂️.EuthimiousVersion: 2.7.3
Inside the ropes, clubhouse, bunkers and all that!What a fantastic app! Just superb! Very well done congrats to all who contribute to this gold standard of major golf content..WingemanVersion: 2.6.4
It’s okThey could adopt something’s from the Masters app, such as showing where players are on the course.
And it can be tricky to navigate. The is an additional application with Mastercard and you have switch between the two. It is not clear which does what.
However there are some great content: vignettes; and it looks great..XrayzerodeltaVersion: 2.7.3
Love this app.!!!Best golf app out there free and get to watch multiple groups.!!!! Wish the PGA could get an app like this.!!!.AjklarbbVersion: 2.5.4
EnjoyFantastic.Dutch011120Version: 2.3.1
The open liveNice to watch the open with intelligent commentary, really fed up with the American coverage…they just don’t get it…they talk constantly yet don’t say anything worthwhile….thx for allowing us to watch your live streaming…what a breath of fresh air….XxxxxxxxxxxzzzzzzzzzVersion: 2.3.1

Fantastic CommentaryGreat app. The commentators on the "Livecast" -> "Featured Group" are the best I've ever heard over years of watching TV, just fantastic..CapstoneDesignerVersion: 1.5.1
Tried to Sign Up …For the One Club with no success 😞.KPinBBVersion: 2.2.9
Much improvedI've be complaining about this app for a number of years now. Would just end up having to delete it. The 2016 Open version is much improved. Streaming to Apple TV worked very well. Really enjoyed the coverage since we cut the cable years ago. Only complaint I would have is that when the final pairing hit the course they should have become the feature group, especially on the last day. What an Open it was this year. Looking forward to next year. Don't mess with this app too much..SomebodyusedmynicknameVersion: 1.4.4
Sound doesn't workNice pictures, but no sound on the live coverage. Not sure if there's actual commentary, but even ambient/crowd noise would be nice..Dhayes67Version: 1.1.2

The Open Negative Reviews
No shot tracers or video replay of highlightsThis app is good when your favorite players are in the featured groups. But at the very minimum it should have a shot tracer for every player on each hole so you can see where they are off the tee and on the green on each hole rather than just waiting for a score to update. What’s more, you cannot rewatch featured group or featured holes for any round. That should be a very basic add. The Open should look at what the Masters app has done and implement some of the more user friendly features..Jfalls3Version: 2.2.9
Waste of timeYou can’t even watch the round back after it has been aired which is trash the reason probably why most people got the app sorry I have work when the round is on and you idiots want to monopolize the viewer ship to when you have it on live it seems ridiculous any way you can’t link a play back considering it’s already aired this app is a waste of space on your phone and you can check scores on google thank you for nothing..Flexx09876Version: 2.3.2
What makes this app special?This and the PGA Championship are the only major golf tournament apps that don’t do some sort of shot tracking. And since it’s a major, the PGA TOUR app isn’t allowed to shot track because of certain rights I assume. With that being said, it doesn’t need to be a 3D version like the PGA TOUR app but at least tracking the shots on a page for players would be useful since most of us work and can’t watch live coverage of our favorite golfers in an exciting major tournament..IanCuevas6Version: 2.2.9
Where are the stats??!Ok unless I’m a complete moron, I don’t see any statistics (fairways hit, greens in regulation, driving distance, strokes gained etc etc) in the app! How do you have a golf app and not have those?? The great Masters app has that info, the US Open app does as well. Cmon British Open, step up with the big boys. The PGA app is a mess right now, very slow and also doesn’t have that info (usually does), so I was banking on this app. Bad idea. 1 star as of now, I’ll amend my rating if you somehow come up with the stats..BruiceJuiceVersion: 2.3.1
Weird designI assume you have all players in the field with an easy to read bio. I just couldn’t find it after looking for 2 minutes. Look at Masters app for how to do a clean, simple golf app. Too many stories and fluff. Can’t even find a course tour. It wants to show what happened 30 years ago, and has stories about Old Tom Morris. Fine content but it has to be in addition to and not in place of player listings with bios as well as simple hole descriptions..Brian YunkerVersion: 2.2.6
WowITS 2018 AND I CANT CHECK WHERE MY FAVORITE PLAYER IS LYING ON THE COURSE. The TV coverage is all day which is phenomenal but you don’t seem to realize they only show the same 30 golfers. So my favorite golfer can be in the top 20 and no FaceTime because of his sponsorships. So you could upgrade your app from 2005 and show players locations on the course and position. That way I can track my guy who’s only a few strokes behind the leader on Sunday. I’m tired of watching the guys in the Top 20 World rankings play for making the cut..Goop machineVersion: 2.0.3
EhThis is not the most well put together app. It doesn’t say who the featured groups are, and when you go to “media” the full live coverage isn’t even an option. To watch that you have to go to the website or through the golf channel app. The US open app also allowed you to track shot by shot tracking of any player you chose, this one does not..MG8104250Version: 2.0.2
Not impressedThe app provides very limited coverage of golf. Only one or two feature groups. And you cannot even watch those unless you sign up within the app. Then the rest is just fluff and advertisement. To actually watch something of consequence, you have to pay for the NBC streaming app. This group needs to copy the Master’s app it is great..500 DBVersion: 2.2.11
Connection issuesIf you are not at home and not on WiFi it is almost impossible to watch the championship. Something is always “wrong” with the connection and you can try and deleting the app and redownloading but it only temporarily fixes the issue and then you’re right back to square one..Lucyono123Version: 2.7.3
App is not laid out well and has lots of glitchesThe amount of money that they have to spend, you would at least think they would have an app developer that actually can produce something that is cleaner and without so many bugs. And the fact you have to leave app to watch is ridiculous..Pf6885Version: 2.2.7
DisappointedCompared to the rest of the majors apps this is by far the worst one. I can’t even sign in to watch any group because it just takes me back to the same screen. You would think after seeing the US Open and even the Masters app they would take some notes on how it’s done right..MisterstoneyyVersion: 2.6.2
The One ClubTried it on my phone along with several friends. We all get the same error. We sign up for the required The One Club account in order to use the app. But every time we try to log into the account there is a continuous error to try again later. Going on two days now..Bobbert KennedyVersion: 2.2.9
OK but needs shot trackingWould be good to see all my follows at the top of the leaderboard and be able to sort by the best rounds of the day.
But most importantly, it needs shot tracking. I can track every shot on mediocre PGA events, I should be able to track shots in one of the top-3 biggest golf tournaments of the year..Dj33256Version: 2.0.4
Clunky, limited functionalityIt is kind of amazing how much more advanced the US Open and masters apps than the British open app. No way to see shot by shot review, no highlights by player, even the use of favorites is much more awkward than other apps. Even little things are inaccurate (displayed refresh time is actually one hour behind EDT).Bmb912Version: 2.0.3
Well designed but limited live feedsChampionship Sunday and the live feeds (in the US) only follow some middle of the pack players and a par 3 camera. The leaders are on the course, but you won’t get to see them unless they’re on a par 3. Add a broadcast channel to fix this large hole in coverage..LucaBrasi39Version: 2.7.3
The App is HorribleThe app is horrible. Truly pathetic compared to The Master app and the App for the US Open. Never could make it work on a secure web browser integrated with a password manager or on my iPhone. The R&A acts like it cares about the game. In reality they care about scraping your meta-data and selling it to MasterCard and HSBC. I guess I will not be watching the event..Craps_PlayerVersion: 2.6.2
Can only get one thing to workI signed up for the free “the one club” to watch the featured groups and it continually says that there is a connection error. I’m on the WiFi and I can get the featured holes to play, but that’s it. This app is no comparison to the US Open or Masters app..Rtrac29Version: 2.2.7
The worstI tried to sign up for the one club to view featured groups and once I signed up I couldn’t sign in because my email wasn’t recognized. I tried to sign up again and it said my email was already in use. So the email they couldn’t confirm is somehow in use?! Just awful.PattahmanVersion: 2.2.7
LameI don’t understand anyone giving this a high rating. It works but that’s it. It offers a page for tee times but then doesn’t give the tee times. Just group numbers and who’s in the group. Useless. And somehow it just disappeared off my phone. By itself. The other majors had great apps. Why bother if you’re not going to do it right..Tj1731Version: 2.0.3
Favorites DO NOT Sync Across PlatformsGiven you can use app (and website) on multiple platforms, as well as sign into an account, why wouldn’t favorites sync across platforms??? Big miss, or not working correctly..Galvinized Zn30Version: 2.2.6
Won’t allow you to login to watch live feedUnfortunately you can’t watch the live video. Requires you to setup a “One Club” account and use that to login, but it just keeps bringing you back to the login screen. Huge mistake on the first day of the event..The_ManateeVersion: 2.6.2
Live video requires difficult registrationHorrible process using some third party scam that wants all kinds of personal information to share with others. Even after signing in, the sign in keeps bombing out. Deleted the app..Madfan1963Version: 2.6.2
Not goodCompared to the other golf apps for majors this one isn’t even close. Videos don’t play just sound, so you have to restart all the time and just not nearly in depth as the previous major apps. Will be on the cpu more than this app for sure. Just a. Huge disappointment for one of the best majors..JjjjjtducuvivvigiiVersion: 2.0.2
Wish it worked..The only live video I can get is the par 3s and that crashes/freezes every 10-15 mins if I’m lucky. Been watching for about 2 hours and have had to restart 10+ times already….SupercalifragilelisticexpialVersion: 2.6.2
LacklustreThe Masters app is the gold standard. This app is a terrible option for those wanting detailed shots, with live replays. It's clunky, hard to view and just overall a disappointment..29mjc29Version: 2.6.4
Keeps crashing since updateWould love to give 5 stars because the free tele broadcasts are great (although we could use far more extensive coverage and feeds - think masters) and the radio broadcast is phenomenal, however, since the latest update the app constantly crashes and becomes frustrating to use..GuyhairwithVersion: 2.3.2
A let down, againIeaderboard doesn’t save favorites, video stops unexpectedly, UI very busy. A double bogey of an app..IMTLVersion: 2.3.1
Worst scoring app everThis is a useless app, the scoring is not anywhere remotely live, more like an hour behind. Low tech and pathetic..CannotlistenbabyVersion: 2.0.3
No shot track? That’s whackCome on man.DrPepper(DylanR)Version: 2.0.2
Needs UI changesCan not view the leaderboard while listening to the radio broadcast.
Radio broadcast brings up a video window (with no video of course) but that means you cannot move away from that window or the audio stops.
The audio stops if you move to a different app.
Horrible experience.
Scoreboard in portrait mode - when you click a player it takes you to the Bio and then you have to click again to see their score. Yuck.
Cannot see who people are playing with. The PGA app is far far better. It shows the group and tracks each of their shots.
And don’t get me started on the mishmash that is the audio broadcast!.Out-of-TownerVersion: 1.6.5
