## Review summary

GolfNow Compete is praised for ease of use and for enabling competition with friends, plus decent GPS/scorecard features. However, it suffers recurring reliability and feature issues: scores don’t save, logins fail, GPS can be unreliable, and there are gaps in game formats, GHIN integration, and Apple Watch support. These bugs and missing features hinder its long-term usefulness despite evident potential.

### Pros

- Easy to use / intuitive interface (several reviews note it's straightforward to use and user-friendly)
- Good for competing with friends and tracking round scores (positively mentioned as a core use-case)
- GPS accuracy and a useful scorecard that tracks fairways, putts, and greens (praised when functioning)

### Cons

- Scores and round data often fail to save or are not saved after submission, leading to incomplete rounds
- Login/session issues appear frequently (sessions expire or users can’t log in)
- Limited game formats and missing features (no skins, match play, or teams; GHIN integration lacking)
- GPS reliability problems (location services stop working or fail to load)
- Lack of Apple Watch support / no watch capability currently; users want watch integration
