## Review summary

Users like the app’s UI, course layout info, and scoring features, plus free functionality and distance readings that rival GPS watches. However, recurring problems include watch compatibility gaps, update-induced GPS/round-tracking bugs, and maps/course data loading issues. Sign-in and support issues also appear. Overall, the app shows strong potential when it runs smoothly, but reliability has been undermined by multiple update-related and device-compatibility problems across reviews.

### Pros

- Intuitive UI with automatic course detection and easy game initiation
- Course layout information and course data available during play
- Solid score management features (track scores, averages)
- Many features available for free
- Distances comparable to GPS watches offering convenience

### Cons

- Watch/device compatibility gaps and missing device support (W12, WXT, Samsung watch) with limited device list
- Bugs introduced by updates affecting GPS, distance readings, hole tracking, and round completion
- Maps and course data loading problems (maps won’t load, inability to pull up courses, some course data is outdated or incorrect)
- Sign-in and support issues (difficult sign-in process and poor customer support)
