## Review summary

Users praise the clean design and live scoring features, with accurate GPS distances and handicap calculations. However, many reviews report outdated course data, premium data-sync problems, crashes/instability, and navigation friction.

### Pros

- Live leaderboard / live scoring feature
- Clean, simple, easy-to-use interface
- Accurate GPS distances / reliable distance measurement
- Handicap calculation / accuracy
- Club/course recommendations and broad course coverage

### Cons

- Course data not updated (stroke indexes, hole numbers, slope ratings) and not reflected in the app
- Premium features / data sync issues (rounds not counted toward handicap, some scorecards not uploading, offline favourites missing)
- Stability and crashes (sharing crashes, freezes, occasional kicks-out)
- Navigation and onboarding friction (too many steps to start a round; GPS view can’t easily return to scorecard)
