18Birdies Golf GPS Tracker Positive Reviews

Great app that has shaved strokes off my gameI used to use the free version of this app when I first started golfing about 3 years ago. Since I have gotten better and have started to hone in on my distances with each club, the premium version of this app has helped me shave almost 16 strokes off my game (from 36 to about a 20) and I keep getting better. Yes, the more I golf the better I get but this app definitely assists me out of the course - it’s like having a caddy in your pocket. The distance feature helps me decide which club to hit, the GPS is very accurate and with the ability to see distances to lay-up spots and traps I have gained more confidence. Why spend 200+ dollars on a range finer when this app does that and way more. I like being able to pair up with others in my group for easy scoring, and it cuts down on the amount of cards I need to keep. If you take the time to put in your GIR, fairways hit, birdies, and par goals, it also does a great job of showing you metrics on where you tend to miss. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend it to any golfer regardless of handicap. Furthermore, it does not drain my battery like most other apps do (I can sit on 15% battery with the battery saver feature in the phone settings on for just about the entire round)..Jonny GrubbVersion: 8.24

Love the app, especially on my Apple WatchI’ve been using the free version of this app for about 2 years and I really like it. I tend to use it mostly on my watch unless I can’t connect for some reason and have to use my phone. I love that I can determine the distance of each shot and it’s very accurate with the various distance markers at the courses. I can’t say I love the new watch version however. I really use it to keep score and determine yardage distances. With the new version, it’s a lot harder to just go the basics. I also found that it’s not syncing with my activity rings. When I started using it 2 years ago, I had to manually start my golf activity to record my steps and calories. Then it started to record my activity automatically, even though it didn’t call it golf. My last few rounds, the activity had not been tracked. I tried to find a setting to change it, asked a question on the phone app about it, but still not sure if it’s possible to automatically have it record my activity. I’ve recommend this to all my friends with Apple Watches because I’ve tried a few other apps available and this is still the best!.Char2055Version: 14.19.0

Shot TrackerThis is a great app. Elevation changes don’t always work great in areas where it is really hilly and possible shotty phone service. I also much preferred the old shot tracker. The new one is way to complex and harder to use. Takes more time to get the exact post up of the shot and could lead to misleading shot yardage’s. The old one allowed you to move the pins to disk in the exact location and give you a read. If it was not for that I would give 5/5 rating. Edit* After further use of the app I am still just as unpleased after the recent update and will be looking for other apps. Golf bucks are worse in every way now, elevation changes do not show up most of the time, shot tracking is extremely inaccurate and hard to use (due to lag and takes longer to dial in your location which just adds to length of round and takes your actual focus off playing golf), and wind is always off. Bring back the older version or make significant improvements. That being said the yardage’s are accurate and good. Nice for keeping score..Jjsand1788Version: 7.5.0

Great App, Needs Few ImprovementsIf you’re looking at this app versus other apps on the iPhone. Just go ahead and pick this one. You can track many of the different elements of your game and the map interface is exactly what you need. The thing that I wish it had was the ability to see par when reviewing your previous games. When you go back to a previous game and you look at an individual hole, you can’t see what par was for the hole you’re viewing. You can tap the score to view par, but then it deselects your previous score and if you weren’t paying attention, you’ll lose what you had marked there. A suggestion to the developers would be to add a lock feature to the scorecard so you can browse previous game scores without fear or changing them. Besides that little detail, this thing is great! Perhaps a calculation of the handicap for the individual courses would be helpful. Okay, I’m done. Great app. Enjoy and download this app!.DLOGONVersion: 14.6.0

An amazing free golf app, room for improvementLike many, I have a group of golf buddies I play with. Many started off with using other golf apps, but I convinced them all to switch to 18Birdies. Why? It has a friendly interface, its GPS tracking is ACCURATE (I double check it with a Golf Rangefinder and they both agree on the distance /- 3 yards), it has every golf course imaginable (even the random small municipal course in your town), and it's a great way to keep track of your progress through all of your rounds (tells you your up to date handicap!). My only complaint is that it always shows your score (how many above par) as you play. In order for me to give a full 5 star rating, 18Birdies needs a setting to turn this off. Golf is as much a mental game as it is a technical/physical game. If I can have a setting to turn off the real-time score keeping (like how it is when you have a handwritten score card), then 18Birdies will be the GOAT of golf apps. For now, it's amazing but room for improvement. I hope to see this change very soon for this season. PLEASE!.Airforce97Version: 13.3.0

The social golf app experienceUsed this app as the free version for about a year. I upgraded to the pro when I started taking golf seriously this year. After trying multiple apps I have to say this is my favorite. Pros: - Updates real time yardage very well - Apple watch is an excellent feature - Playing with friends is by far the best things about this app - Tournaments with friends is an amazing feature - Adding the new 3D green reader id something I haven't quite gotten used to yet, but with a few sessions Im sure Ill get used to it! - The course layouts on the maps are spot on! - The pro features are great for golfers trying to see more data on the course * Theres so many features its hard to narrow down my favorites Cons: - At every round I play I always turn on the ‘battery saving’ feature because otherwise my phone wont make it through 18 holes. I see no difference in the real time updates aside from a couple of second latency delay, no big deal though. Features I’d Like to See: After each hole you can input stats for number of shots, shot stats and etc. I’d really like to be able to add notes to the end of that. At the moment theres a notepad for the round, but I hardly use it because it’s “out of the way”. Moving it to the hole-tracker stats would be a HUGE update!!.Kgerk-devVersion: 14.11.1

Golf bucks changeGreat app for use on every course I have played so far. GPS is usually very accurate and helps with club selection. One thing they changed though is how many golf bucks (currency used in app to enter contests) you get per round played. You use these golf bucks to get scratch cards for 5 per scratch. You used to get 40-50 per round depending on if you played with another 18Birdies user. And another 10 for sharing your round. Now you get five for finishing a round and one to share your round while the scratch cards are still five per ticket. There are options to share your shots or share your score per hole for five GB each but I don’t understand why that gives you more than playing a full round. I get the social aspect they are pushing but that is going the wrong way with it. I don’t understand that change and had to write a review since they respond to each one it seems like. Just looking for clarification on the golf bucks change. It used to be my favorite part of the app and kept me coming back to it but now with that change, golf bucks seem pointless now.TM1821Version: 7.5.0

Good but could be a whole lot betterThe major problem with the app is when using the Apple Watch. Yardages are not consistent. Example; I could be standing on a par 3 tee box and look for yardage say 140 yds. The next time I raise my wrist it displays 709 yds. And it doesn’t change til I move 10-20 yds away. These yardage discrepancies could happen anywhere and almost always every time that I use the watch a 2nd 3rd 4th time. As I stated this is only with the Apple Watch. When I use the phone yardage is always correct. This is quite annoying and does nothing to speed up play. I am currently in touch with someone from support and watch is configured as the app directs. I have deleted and reinstalled the app on both the watch and iPhone and has not improved and phone and watch os are up to date. The other thing is with support he claims that I am not responding to his emails, which I am, so there is delays in him responding to my questions. I don’t know whether there is a problem with your email system. I will follow up with another review when and If they can get it working..Scotted12Version: 8.3.0

Miss having Apple Watch app. Won’t sync.I have tried all suggestions including logging out of iPhone app, rebooting both iPhone and Apple Watch. Lots of frustration when I used to have no issue in starting my round. Watch app is great when it syncs with iPhone app. Just hasn’t been useful in for a few weeks. The developer responded letting me know that they were aware of the issue and had an update for the app and the watch app that should resolve the issue. After updating the apps on my iphone and watch, I was able to play a round of golf today using the watch and iPhone - it was great having it back - I will update my review again if anything changes. Thanks to the developers for resolving this issue and making the apps useful again..Steve - Computer ScientistVersion: 12.6.3

I want to like 18BirdiesPlease stop getting worse. This app was fine not long ago…. Now you can’t add tracked shots retroactively after your round. Sure, you may not be tracking them “live”, but I can still remember more or less exactly where I was when I hit the shot and where it landed… and now I can’t add tracked shots after I finish a round. So stupid. Also, I play at country land golf course in cumming, Georgia… and the new gps picture you guys have allowed to load for our course is so profoundly inaccurate it makes my tracked shots look awful. I’ll hit a fantastic GIR in the center of the green and when I track it, it appears as if it’s off the back of the green 20 yards from its actual location. These things are making me seriously consider switching to the another app that I already have downloaded. Starting to wish I didn’t pay for the premium membership. Gonna make sure it doesn’t auto-renew.Topaz8372626Version: 14.33.0

Great app but…I’ve been using 18 birdies when there wasn’t so many users where I would win lots of their prizes when they had the drawings, too bad they don’t offer that anymore, but anyways.. back to the app, I think it’s still a great app and I like how they are starting to incorporate games with other players in the group, but my one and only biggest issue is the fact that I can’t input other players score into the app on my APPLE WATCH for added convenience, because I’m sure y’all know how hectic it can get sometimes to pull out your phone.. “golf game book” does allow you to input others score through the Apple Watch.. I like keeping my rounds saved with 18 birdies, but it is also great to know where everyone’s at for the round at a glance.. if y’all could add that feature, that would be a great added feature for everyone...Nevs1!Version: 11.8.2

Good but needs workI have tested out several GPS apps. I like 18B because of the layout and user interface. It’s clean and provides the type of info and stat tracking I’m looking for. I’m not into the social aspect but if more of my friends had it, maybe I would be. I agree that the shot Tracking system currently in place is essentially unusable and complicated so I choose not to use that feature. I can’t speak about premium features as I only have free version now. One thing I would like to see added is a list of things like: yards to a dogleg; yards to layup, yards to bunker, yards to front,middle,back of green etc like other apps offer. Sometimes it’s just easier to quickly see the distances already calculated rather than zooming in with my finger to pinpoint the location. If this could be incorporated, it would improve on an already great foundation..Gdell1021Version: 7.6.3

Amazing appThis app is fantastic. I tried a bunch of apps that have similar features and this one was by far the cleanest, most updated, and well laid out app. It also has the most features in front of the paywall that I’ve found, but Premium gives you awesome additional features. The GPS is super useful, entering stats is super simple and doesn’t take you out of the game. You can keep as thorough stats as you want. I like that I can add my exact clubs. They even had my ‘94 Big Bertha irons. They didn’t have one of my more obscure old clubs, and I emailed them asking if there was a reason, and they replied that I should refresh because they added them. Can’t beat that customer service. This feels like it was made by people who really enjoy golf, and less of a “company” if that makes sense. The social aspect is a fun way to keep in touch with friends and see their progress and easily add them to a score card. Love the app! Features I would love: • Automatic handicap calculator (I know this is being worked on to meet the new calculation methods) • Green slope maps (even if its Premium only) • Add a ball path tracer AI (maybe as part of the existing AI. Would be fun to share in the social area, and also see your ball flight.RyancartyVersion: 10.3.0

Great app but….This app is so close to being the best golf companion you can have. Easy to use but it seems over the last year or so the developers stopped improving the app. So many of the features are just so dead like booking tee times, betting, group play, etc. Little customization things like not having a dark mode or not allowing you to link your logical USGA Handicap is also holding this app back. Interface feels very 2020, and it needs a refresh with focus on getting the full potential out of the app. I’ll use it over The Grint and other similar apps during my rounds, but will keep going to the others to enter my score officially. This app could be amazing, but just needs a little more focus. LETS GO DEVELOPERS..Chicken Feet 622Version: 14.3.0

Great interface, so so Apple Watch experienceI’m really close to putting my money where my mouth is for this app but there is one glaring issue preventing me from doing so. Distances on my Apple Watch Series 3 GPS+Cellular are rarely if ever coming from the watch GPS. When I am riding I don’t want my phone in my pocket, so I have to be cognizant of where I park the cart so I get a good idea of the distance. Sometimes when I am walking to my ball from the cart, the distances are from my watch but that might be 2 holes a round. I did see a note from the dev about disabling Bluetooth on the watch temporarily but that seems to be a bit of a silly work around. Maybe Apple doesn’t provide an API to ensure the distances are coming from the watch but as soon as this part of the app is reliable, I will pay because everything else about this app is worth it..Jared52Version: 11.5.1

Won’t sync to Apple WatchI’ve been using this app for a couple years now and loved it. However as of about a week or so ago the app wit not sync to my Apple Watch. I don’t know if this is a problem with Apple or the app but it is very frustrating that I can’t get it on my watch anymore! And with it not syncing to my watch it drains my battery on my phone very quickly! If it’s a problem with the app I hope they get it fixed quickly if not we’ll see what Apple does! Update to my review, it was not a problem with the app but a problem with my watch. I got in touch with Apple and we got my problem resolved so since the problem has been rectified I will update my rating to five stars.MichaelW2158Version: 13.3.0

It’s good.... update okayThe last major update really made me stop using the app. They are correcting some things. But the one thing they have not corrected yet is scoring simplified. It use to be you enter your score and other players scores popped up immediately to finish your card. Now you have to close yours, swipe up, find the player, find the icon, and then put their score in for each person. All this in the sun clearing screen on a golf course where electronics really should be in the background, not dealing with it all the way to the next hole. To be honest I haven’t used the app since the first tome I tried it on the course and couldn’t stand how long it took to enter in everyone’s score. I try it again every update to see if it’s fixed at home. But it’s still not and that is disappointing. So many good things, but this problem really overshadows them for me..ThisApp777Version: 8.1.1

Almost perfect for Apple Watch users…..I love this app and switched over from Golfshot because the interface is cleaner and easier to use. But…. There are a couple things holding it back from full 5 star greatness and that is the ability to start a tracked shot from the watch. Use both the watch gps and phone gps mixed to save battery because for most things I prefer using the phone but for shot tracking it would be nice to step up to the ball and then start tracking there. Next would be to have an option to start a golf workout with the round automatically so I don’t have to start a golf workout then start a round also. Golf shot does both of these things and it’s the only features I miss over there. Also lately the tee time feature has not been working. Says feature unavailable.Shpeegz07Version: 14.5.1

Stunning interface, abysmal Apple Watch experienceSo sad. The app is stunning on the phone. All of the premium features are worth the 99$... but I am obsessed with only using the Apple Watch on the course, and it was a disaster. 2 mains problems. 1. The yardages, omg... the phone is always 3 feet max from the watch. And every other app I’ve test driven on this course had no problem with the yardages. But this one is a nightmare. 130 yard par 3, says 366. I have to pull the phone out of the bag, unlock it, and then MAYBE the yardage matches the phone. Unplayable, unusable. 2. After you record your score and move to record putts, it starts you at the bottom of that page, and you have scroll up to record putts, and then scroll back down to move to next hole... this seems like a temporary bug, or their UX designer is on vacation. Devs, product managers, what would make this app perfect for the Watch. The UI is stunning, UX has some very simple adjustments. This is very easy. Just go play a round with it lol. Please, add layup yardages.. to start, how about just distance to a 100, 125, 150 lay up? Distance to hazards and over hazards would be amazing. Golf Logic does it.. but that’s a big project. I’ll be checking back, this is the best app for the phone.. more or less, but Watch is far far behind. Good luck..SashosikVersion: 10.1.2

Score not being enteredHi guys!! First off I want to say I love the app and it’s my main source for keeping my score out on the track. And a doubles as a social media account, but lately I’ve been having issues with entering my score I’m able to input it for each hole throughout my round but at the end of my round I can’t save my round. Please let me know if it’s an issue that is being worked on, or just me? Also just a suggestion but I hope you guys put it in the update, but can you please put a hcp calculator that does all the math for you lol. I’ve played a lot of roads and I would just like to take the doing the math every couple of months to figure out my hcp out of the equation. Lol see what I did their.Jay2987Version: 10.3.0

Ok Love this app nowOk, at the beginning I did not like this app. Now I realize it was because I did not understand the full capabilities of this app. I initially thought it just provided the overview of the course. It is so much more. This app is for serious golfers who want to track their stats and analyze their swing. I started doing both and am now addicted to the app. It has provided many insights on the parts of my game to improve. It also provides simple drills (in video form) to help correct even the subtle quirks the cause a loss in power, distance and accuracy. The premium version is worth the $100 yearly rate. I will renew when the subscription runs out. Most unfortunate that I only realized the full capabilities after few months; but glad I did..SepattsVersion: 11.1.2

Cool app for any Player trying to improve their golf gameThis app is or pretty cool and very useful. It can replace taking notes on a scorecard as well as track important stats like fairways hit(even has option to Indicate direction ball was off the Fairway), greens hit, number of chip shots, and most important for myself personally is number of putts per hole. I knew that I needed to work on my putting but I had no idea how many strokes per round it was costing me. At least 17 per round, birdies putted into double bogeys, it’s very frustrating but gives you an idea of where you want to get some practice in. Overall cool app, download if you are serious about your game and enjoy using technology to learn how you can improve your scores..Wolverine4206Version: 7.4.1

App Heading in the Wrong DirectionI have been using this app for about a year and used a premium membership for a few months as well. As far as golf scoring apps go, this is one of the best. However, one of the main things that differentiated this app from others was the DreamGames features. DreamGames allows you to spend GolfBucks (earned by playing rounds and sharing items in the news feed) for entries in prize drawings. I have won a towel, a hat, a box of golf balls, and even a $150 gift card. This is what kept me coming back to the app each day. Unfortunately, they recently made a change to the way golf bucks are earned by significantly reducing the payouts for various activities. For example, sharing a golf round used to pay a total of 50 golf bucks and now it only pays 5. I expect the reason they did this is because people exploited the previous system to accrue thousands of golf bucks. I feel like the developers are really missing the point on this one, as there are many users like myself that will stop using this app if things continue down this road. The scoring features are good, but they really aren’t better than the other apps out there. If 18Birdies can’t get control of Golf Bucks distribution they will lose much of their user base.ToolbocktsVersion: 7.5.0

Expensive but worth itAlthough there are many features you can use for free, the premium version of the app is where it truly shines. If you take the time (which admittedly can be a hassle while playing a round of golf) you can really track some interesting stats about your golf game. I also find that the yardages are quite accurate in my experience which can help any golfer not able to spend the money for a quality range finder. Overall very solid app, if the premium was a little cheaper that would make it much more accessible for beginner golfers or golfers that don’t have a ton of money to spend for the premium features..EJ_931Version: 13.3.0

HandicapI love this app so far with using it. I spent all of last year trying to track everything among appx 3-4 different apps to see which I liked more. I think I may have settled on 18 birdies. The only thing so far I wish was different is that I'm the handicap and you only play a 9 hole round that they would, like some other apps, not just double a 9 hole score but that they would add two different 9 hole rounds together. That way different 9 hole rounds at different courses would have a different slope etc and in my head I guess, it would reflect a slightly different handicap. I don't build apps or anything but I imagine if others can do it that it might not be too difficult to add for them in an update.?.Proboarder82Version: 13.18.0

First experienceSo I reviewed 4 other similar apps and was interested in the one that would best work on an Apple Watch. My intent was to start the round on my phone and let it work on the Apple Watch from start to finish. After watching user video and signing up for the premium service I’m an disappointed to report it did not work as advertised. I downloaded the app, confirmed it was available on my Apple Watch and even tried a dry run before my round. Then when I started my round to learn that there was zero gps updates during my round on my Apple Watch or on my phone. The only thing that worked was that the app recognized the course I played but never the yards to the green. VERY DISAPPOINTED..E 5280Version: 7.4.1

Change is goodHi, For now I can only think of is the visual of your screen ,I think it should be a virtual look,,, as soon as you look at your screens, I think you should easily understand what is going on !!!!!!maybe the size of letters or components for easy seeing!!!!! Also maybe colors to show different items on the screen.. some colors are noticeable more than others ,,, maybe have important things seen a certain color and less important thing’s another color!!!!for noticeability,,, Hi ,,to whom it may concern ,if this helps or you use it in any way ,can you reach out to me for possible compensation,, or proper credit , for my idea,..The #1comeback kid.Version: 14.7.3

Pretty nice app but...The app is good and I love the social network feel of it as well as a course management tool but...seems like the club database is severely lacking. The 2018 Callaway offerings have been out for sometime yet they’re not showing up in the database. Other company’s 2018 models are available but not these. Wouldn’t be a big deal but I can’t load clubs in without them being in the database which means I can’t use the shot tracking function to each specific iron without it. It’s a small issue but keeps it from 5 stars in my book. My rating is really a 4.99. Edit: great developer support. This was fixed in less than a couple days..47MAKVersion: 7.4.1

Good App but Apple Watch needs Phone nearby.I use the paid version of the app. I’m happy with it, but one thing they’re lacking is the ability to use the GPS chip in the Apple Watch for your distances. Instead they rely on the GPS chip in the phone which means your phone needs to be with you during your shot for the most accurate distance. I much rather keep my phone in the Golf Cart charging and playing music than in my back pocket while I’m making shots. Many of the other apps now provide the ability to do this and have settings within the app to turn it on. The absence of this feature unfortunately has me looking at some of these other apps. I might be switching very soon..BoygeenyussVersion: 13.8.2

Great app! Feature request:Love tracking my stats, helps me figure out where I need to focus my practice and improve. Like others have said, it’s like having your own caddie with birds-eye GPS helping immensely with shot planning. Can you MAKE all of my friends join? Lol Feature request: when viewing certain stats under “Me”, I would love if I could tap directly on date/round-specific areas of the stat readout and jump directly to that round to see the scorecard and the rest of the stats for that round. As it is right now if I’m looking at say, history of Putts per Hole under stats, under “Me”, and I want to look at the round I played on 5/13, I have to back out and navigate to my round history, remembering the date, and find that entry in round history. Additional feedback: it would be nice to be able to cancel a sent friend request, and/or un-friend someone. Sometimes we fat-finger it and didn’t mean to send a request to a stranger and currently the only solutions are to block them (which seems drastic), or to say “oh well, guess I’m friends with this stranger forever now”..Jdow456nckVersion: 13.6.3

50% of this app is excellent!Distances ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Club Tracking ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Scoring ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ GIR ⭐️ Fairways Hit ⭐️ Apple Watch ⭐️ I used this today for the first time, extremely excited to get more insights than my last app. I plugged data for every hole as I went into my watch. The scoring showed up in the app, the number of putts showed up, but NOTHING ELSE! No club data from when I tracked it, FH & GIR didn’t show up. Its great for GPS the #’s were pretty dead on with my rangefinder. The ease of use on the course was very easy, although there are a few things that could be automated. If I shoot a 5 on a par 5 with only a single putt, it’s quite obvious I didn’t hit the GIR so why to I have to manually enter that data. Anyways, cool app, not worth $99 a year of r even $69 with the discount. I get another app for $35 a year that gives me GIR and FH with ease. It was really the club tracking I was looking to add to my data. I could see the data on my watch, I started tracking at the Tee or where ever, I’d end the tracking at the ball it would show me the distance and I’d hit save. Super Easy to use, data didn’t transfer so it was a big disappointment..TJS2012Version: 14.19.1

Great app, obnoxious referral promptsApp works great but the customer referral prompts are ridiculous. I add a friend who’s not in the app to my game as a guest and I’m forced to enter their phone number so the app can send a text to them to invite them to the app. How about you don’t force people to share their friend’s private information just to play a round of golf? That is not my information to share. No way to bypass the phone number so had to enter a fake number and then back out of the prefilled text message that comes up. Also pretty sure they are selling my location and app activity with Facebook. Don’t think I’ve never seen a Facebook ad for golf related products until today, 1 hour after I finished my round..WhsufjbruaVersion: 10.1.2

Great AppBeen using it for the last 12 rounds (about 4 weeks) and have enjoyed it very much. Keeps great track of my game. In a prior review, I said that the app uses a lot of data to run. That’s still true. But, I found a way to bypass this small issue: keep your score on paper then input it to the app when you get a Wi-Fi signal. Note to Developer: I work in the pro shop at Kingsmill Resort in Williamsburg, VA. Your app shows this as a public course which is incorrect. We are semi-private and only allow resort guests to play when they stay on the property. We don’t allow walk ups. May want to change that in the app..Ricochet RabbittVersion: 13.5.1

No longer works!!My playing partner and I both have this app and loved it the last 2 years. However it completely stopped working on our primary for both of this year! When I try to play a new round it recognizes the course I’m at, but it will not progress past the tee selection screen. The first few times I used it this year it somehow kicked in when I was midway through the first hole, and I was able to use it. But now nothing - totally worthless. I can enter a round after I am done, but the primary reason I use it is the GPS feature, which no longer comes up!!.Sweep the PortageVersion: 12.0.0

Great AppI have been using the app regularly for a while now (free version, as the premium is a little steep at $100 per year). Overall the app is useful and intuitive. I have used various other GPS golf apps, and they are all very similar. I started using this app because it allowed you to keep score for others, and if they have the app too their scores will show up in their app, something I didn’t find on other apps. A couple of other features this one has that others don’t is a social aspect and a major focus on player development. You have a profile and a wall, friends etc and it’s much like a social media app that way. And recently they added an AI swing coach as well as a lot of tools for improving your game which seem to work remarkably well. One annoyance is that the app will not currently calculate your handicap for you. However I was told that feature is in the works and should be added in the near future. Overall I really like the app and would recommend it to anyone looking into a GPS golf app..Humdinger215Version: 10.0.3

Mostly GreatPretty easy to use. I use it most on Apple Watch. Very helpful for distances. I’m not too into all the features of it. It can do more than I use it for. One limitation. If you accidentally get ahead of yourself on the hole you’re on you can’t seem to get back to your current hole. Maybe I just haven’t figured that out yet? Of course the hand held range finder provides precise distance to pin and this app is front middle and back of green. Tho for this weekend golfer that’s perfect, and convenience of it bring on my wrist is great… even when a course has GPS on the cart. I like the app over all..BWell2day2Version: 13.7.2

New update and watch compatibilityI have used this app for 3 years now. I’ve also suggested it to a lot of people over that time period. I really enjoyed when the watch interface was introduced and really enjoyed how it worked. Unfortunately with the new update there’s been some quirks with the watch functions. I’ve noticed that the distances is now going off of where my phone is located versus where my watch did like it used too. This was one of my favorite features especially playing in Ohio where we’re constantly cart path / 90s only. It’s really useful leaving my phone in the cart and not having to worry about it..Youp009Version: 14.19.3

5 STARS W/ CRITICISMLovely app, I prefer it’s interface over all the other Golf GPS apps by far - one thing I would like to see in addition is the option to list wether you hit the ball short or long, we have right and left options, but would be beneficial to have the statistics on wether you left it short of the green, etc. Furthermore in terms of greens, the option of selecting where on the green you landed maybe a valuable option also. I feel both of those could be added relatively simply, but understand there are details in programming that the layman may not understand..006BUGVersion: 14.24.0

Use it correctly and it helps.Like any other technology, garbage in, garbage out. My best advice, use the shot tracker. It will tell you your real distance per club. It is just a matter of getting in the habit of hitting the button. The blind shot feature is amazing, gives you the line, distance suggestion, and club. The “plays like” feature really helps. Considers wind, elevation, temperature, and altitude. Wish the fairways hit had option for the skyed 180 yard drive. Yeah, I hit the fairway, but hardly a good shot. Green missed should include where you missed it. All in all well worth the money to improve your game..MickMazVersion: 10.1.2

Great app. Here’s a few ideas.I have loved the app so far. It’s so nice to have stats so you can see where you are losing strokes on your game. It would be nice to be able to download the course map so if you are in a rural area, you wouldn’t need your data to load the map. The gps would still work fine. Also, making it easier to invite friends that you are playing with inside of the app so you can see each other’s scores while playing together would be nice as well. Last but not least, please make it cheaper to use the premium version. If it was 5-10 bucks a month, I would be doing it. Just a little to expensive right now for me. Thanks for the great app!.YummTwinkiesVersion: 8.14

Like Untapped for GolfMuch like other oxygen-breathing humans, I enjoy beer a great deal. I was introduced to an app that incentivizes trying out new beers and rating them. It’s a social beer drinking app. I started trying all new kinds of beers, recording them in Untapped app; and I became something of a connoisseur. Now, that I’ve been introduced to 18Birdies, which is a social golfing app, I’ve found I not only enjoy golf much more; but I am eager to try new courses and play more often. The features are a huge plus. I used to carry a rangefinder, but that is now obsolete. Pencil and paper to keep score? Might as well have an abacus compared to the Scorecard feature. The data and record-keeping makes me sound way more intelligent while I’m sipping the latest craft brew on the 19th hole. A modification that I recommend is having the option to record scores for buddies who have dumb-phones. I tried to figure out how to add someone who wasn’t on 18Birdies and I couldn’t figure it out..MarvingreyVersion: 10.3.2

Great golf appI started using this when it was a little more lightweight. I liked it most because its Apple Watch integration was free unlike some other apps. I loved using the watch to quickly track my drives and easily check yardage. However, in the last week, I played twice and it wasn’t syncing. It synced some of my scores logged from the watch but it never showed my yardage within the watch. I restarted both apps from phone and watch and uninstalled the watch app but no luck. It was a major disappointment today. I tried syncing from the iPhone app and it said it was successful… but no change..Mattadore23Version: 14.1.0

Nice app, but...why no handicap computation?I use your app religiously. GPS values are accurate and consistent. Most of the time. Occasionally, however, the app gets confused and will project yardage for the wrong hole or from an incorrect reference point! Example: I was on the 3rd hole of the Calusa 9, Bell Glade Country Club, The Villages. Suddenly, the app showed me on the 4th hole. Advancing or retreating between holes made no difference. Second example: on the 9th hole on the Seminole nine, the app insisted on computing yardage from the middle of the street. Obviously an error, yet I could not get the app to reset and re-evaluate the yardage from the correct tee box. Lastly, if I go to the trouble to store my scores in the app, why can’t you compute my handicap? Seems a logical next step...? What am I missing?.SadaunheVersion: 8.12

Great app, but annoying to make pre-game plansLove this app a ton, and especially their connection with Me and My Golf. My only complaint at this time is that if you want to pre-plan your strategy before you get to a course, it shows the distances from the furthest back tees even if you select any of the shorter tee boxes. It’s annoying to have to manually move up each starting point before making an accurate game plan. On the course it recognizes where you are no problem, it would just be nice to have an easily made plan in mind before I head to the first tee box..Krotch97Version: 7.3.0

Fantastic app - couple suggestionsWould be nice to be able to add additional bags to be able to quickly swap from one set of clubs to another. I game 2 sets (one modern, one vintage) and it’s very time consuming to retire and I retire clubs. The best solution would be to allow for multiple bags you can choose from before a round starts. It would also be nice to be able to upload our own photos of clubs if the image is not available. (e.g. for my MacGregor Jack Nicklaus Tour Forged I irons).GreeknoxVersion: 14.31.3

New update is badGreat app but the most recent update is absolutely horrible. Makes it nearly impossible to switch to the next hole. Please fix this there was nothing wrong with the last version new version makes me want to switch to a different app..Devy fairwaysVersion: 14.15.1

Usually 4 stars but unusable for the watchUsually this app is a 4 star. Decently accurate with yardage, consistent in all other areas. However, for some reason it will not load the yardage on my Apple Watch. It just sits blank. Not just on mine. There are a few others I know who are experiencing the same issue. Please help?.Mt23!Version: 14.7.0

Way too many pop-upsI hardly use any of the features of this app because the pop-ups keep stealing the focus. One, two, ok, 3, 4, 5? What are they thinking?.Jungleman5Version: 13.6.0

New update needs to be updated.Why am I spending $80 on an app that asks if I hit the fair way on a par 3? Some quality control would be appreciated things that basic and ridiculous should never make it out to public if the app was properly tested..Jordanm85Version: 14.15.1

Great app—missing better course statisticsThis app has a lot of great features, but missing some basic things I’d love to see - Number of rounds I’ve played thus far in the year - Better whole by whole breakdowns on a course, like where my average strokes are per hole. How many birdies did I get on #13, etc..McLean 25Version: 14.11.1

Very coolThe free aspects of the app are amazing, being able just to know the distance to the hole has allowed me to shave off around 4 strokes from my game, should download and try.TDOG 192037357Version: 14.11.1

Best App Ever18 Birdies is not only easy to use, but it is very accurate. I have friends who use range finders and their numbers are usually spot on to the ones on the app. If only the price was not as expensive this would be the best golf app on the market by “par”..Harry. OVersion: 14.9.0

Why not all golf yardages for free on Apple Watch?Honestly this app would get a full 5 stars from me and I wouldn’t need to use any other if they would include the front and back yardage readings for free like Golf Shot does. Why is that a premium feature? I may actually remove the app just because Golf Shot offers more for free. I just really enjoy the UI on this all over golf shot..JamesmessVersion: 14.11.1

Excellent AppAccurate distances and all you need is available with the free version. Very user friendly and does not go through nearly as much battery as I expected.Rusty_RedVersion: 14.7.3

Great app overall for tracking and distanceThe free version needs less pay to upgrade ads/push notifications.Jobes19Version: 14.8.0

10/10 With Green CountoursI have a Garmin Fenix that I’ve been very excited about for years, but coming up 20 yards short on a Par 3 and my partner nailing it with 18 Birdies “Plays Like”, I’ve made the switch. The Premium price would be easier to justify if 18 Birdies added green contours..StockfloJeffVersion: 14.7.3

Great appNice app to play with friends. One missing feature it really needs is to show plays like distance on the Apple Watch. When you pay for this feature, it’s nice to not need to pull your phone out for plays like..N8daughterVersion: 14.7.3

Absolutely the best.This is the single greatest golf app for golfers. My Club includes a Golf Canada membership but their app is no good so I only enter scores in it after my round since unfortunately 18Birdies can’t be linked to it for handicap purposes. But this app and it’s premium tier is so high quality that is a worthy sacrifice for me. Great app, love it, never golf without it anymore. Cheers.DueNorth-GBay-89Version: 14.2.0

Easy to useFirst time using this app. To track each shot is a bit cumbersome. Could be one click everytime you reach your ball from your previous shot. I used it mainly for a score card and course layout as it was very busy out and didn’t have time to track every shot. Has great potential!.Drode01Version: 14.2.0

18Birdies Golf GPS Tracker Negative Reviews

Why change something that was working wellI have been using 18 Birdies since it was developed a few years ago. We use it for our Saturday Skins and Birds rounds. Up until the recent, user interface changes it was perfect. Easy to see the leaderboard, players scores, and even guests could be included in the leaderboard. Now the new changes have made this so confusing. We spend more time adding names and having to help the guys who don’t have an account, or the technically challenged players who have no one in the group who is familiar with the app. The interface changes are inflexible. Once you put someone’s name in your group, deleting them doesn’t always remove them from your scorecard. The tournament section is gone and they changed the names of the previous sections so you have to learn the apps terminology. The font is excessively large to the point that you can’t see the entire leader board. After entering your scores there are so many menu buttons to locate what used to be simple prior to the update. I am not sure who requested all these changes or updates, but as a consumer this is my idea of have a great steak and pouring ketchup on it. You ruined it. Please give the user more options to use a scaled down version for scoring..Raider 1906Version: 13.7.2

Used to be best, Apple Watch apple no longer worksBy far an away the best golf app I’ve used for tracking scores and GPS. The nice thing about it was how quickly you could throw your strokes, putts, penalties, etc. via the Apple Watch app. It would seamlessly move to the next hole, have very accurate distances, just the best. But now the Apple Watch app no longer works. I’ve tried all the suggestions the forums and stuff have said, and it still buggers out — I attempt it every week when I play. To me, I want something that is easier than writing a score on the card, and utilizing the watch app was the way to do that. I don’t want to have to pick up my phone to enter in the scores — might as well just write it in. I’ve had to move to a different app so that I can use the Apple Watch. It’s really too bad because I had been using it for years without an issues. This issue should have been resolved as soon as the bug came to light. I’m to the point now where I won’t even check to see if it’s working, and probably won’t look back once I get used to these other apps..MefrommetomeVersion: 14.12.2

Getting worseMay have to switch golf apps. I’ve liked the app very much and think it’s well developed, but don’t care for recent changes that will have me looking elsewhere. The ‘solid shot’ feature, while well intentioned, is annoying and pretty worthless. Leave it as a buried option, but make it less prominent. The GPS and tracking seems to be less accurate than previously. I regularly had been using as a striving-to-improve amateur the shot tracking feature that was available with the free version, but now is only available as an advanced feature with paid subscription. Honestly, I would consider paying for the app, but $99 a year is exorbitant, especially as most the other golf apps are nowhere near that and I’m a 2-3 times a month golfer, if that. A lot of the advanced features seem nice, but are more than I need currently. The shot tracking is very nice to have to improve club distance knowledge. I would consider a one-time fee app or paid ‘lite’ version with fewer features including shot tracking, but not worth current subscription price. It’s really too bad..TodaythedayVersion: 8.31

Don’t work on Apple Watch now!!!!Used this app for a while now, worked great on Apple Watch now it never gives me the distance on my watch! Then googled the issue and it said you only get the distance on your watch if you pay for the membership after being able to do it on the free version! Even paid for a week to see if it was true ($7.99) and the for 3 rounds it did not work even with the paid version, canceled it, had 3 days before it expired then it showed the distance on the Watch so I paid for the week again to see if it just takes a few days to work, stopped working again on my watch then got a 30% off the year membership email if I renew! Updated watch, deleted the app on watch then re installed and still did not give distances! Also use to keep score on watch and it shows on the phone app but now you have to put the scores in on the watch and the phone or just one and the other one will not keep score! Now I don’t use the watch because it’s pointless now, back to using my garmin watch since I can’t seem to use this app on the Apple Watch now.JadeezyVersion: 14.10.2

App is annoying and won’t stop trying to upsellI like the basic capabilities of 18Birdies, but I do not want the paid version. When I try to start a round of golf, for which I use 18Birdies just to see the course layouts, I must click through 10 screens, trying to upsell me, before I can get the round started. For the first few holes, the app keeps trying everytime I advance to the next hole. Why can’t this be turned off? If they don’t want to offer a “free” option, then they shouldn’t offer a “free” option. But if you offer such, please don’t make it so annoying. I would be willing to make a one-time payment to use the basic functions without the annoying upsells, but this option isn’t offered. The only choices are costly subscription services. This is unfortunate. The developers are leaving money on the table by not offering a one-time payment for the right to use basic functions..SpecialKzxVersion: 12.4.0

It WAS good...but now they want $$$I used to love this app. In fact I turned on so many buddies on to this. It’s so great! Well, it used to be! Apparently, now to create a tournament with my buddies, I need to pay a monthly or yearly subscription??? Really? $5/mo or $50/yr??? What really? Seriously? Look, I’m fine with buying an app, but a subscription model for a cool app that I may use 5-10 times a year? At most? More likely 2-3 for those super fun outings where we actually make a tournament! This is a total fail by 18 Birdies and just goes to show ya that nothing is ever really free. Even when they still give you ads. Here’s a thought 18 Birdies team...give the free account level like 5 tournaments a year. A casual user would be fine with that. If I’m someone that’s playing more tournys than that a year, then it would make sense for me to buy up my subscription level..AB2skiVersion: 8.0.0

Horrible customer serviceIf you just want a free gps service go ahead and use this app. Don’t ever use this app to book a tee time!!!!! Did it once and never again. They make you pay for the tee time at booking and if there are any problems you will get no refund unless you cancel before 24 hours before tee off. So if you are like me that looks for times at night for the next morning you are never able to cancel or change your tee time. I found this out the hard way and payed for 4 when only 2 played because I had 2 guys drop out last minute which happens to us all. Life happens! When I contacted them all I got was an automatic response stating cancellation policy. When I responded for more info all I got was crickets. Been more than 24 hours since last email and no response. They don’t care about anything but your money..LostdaugVersion: 9.0

Terrible update / stats won’t sync from Apple WatchThe most recent app update is terrible, it adds more steps on the Apple Watch and more time spent trying to log stats and get to the next hole. The worst of it is that tracking stats doesn’t sync from Apple Watch to the app, I spent a whole round adding stats only to see zero entries when the round was done and added to the app. Fix this!.DrkpassengrVersion: 14.19.1

New updates sucksThe new update is absolutely horrid. There was nothing wrong with how you tracked shots before. Now your missing the part of “track shot from last location”. It’s a mess. I’ll be looking for another app due to this. You guys need to give the app to real people to test for functionality before releasing an update that goes backwards..JacekkrzVersion: 14.16.0

Don’t botherThought I’d download this app to give it a try. I’m already using another rangefinder app called Golfshot (Apple Watch compatible) which costs me about $40/year, works flawlessly and gives me all the same abilities and gps data this app does without pop up ads. After I opened the app the first time and saw the outrageous fees I instantly uninstalled it. Save your money, there are better or comparable gps rangefinder apps out there for much less..Bren19191Version: 13.8.1
