## Review summary

Many reviews praise the app’s long history and value, and its core distance/shot-tracking features. However, a pattern of post-update instability, inaccurate yardages, troubled navigation, non-persistent settings, and loss of audio cues dominates criticisms. The app remains valued for its history and low cost, but reliability and usability issues introduced by updates are the primary negative themes.

### Pros

- Long history of use and loyalty (years of usage by many users).
- Tracks shots and distance as a core feature when working.
- Good value for price (free/low-cost app with substantial features).

### Cons

- Post-update instability: bugs, crashes, and screens failing to load progress (rounds).
- Distance/yardage accuracy degraded or inconsistent after updates (yardages off by large amounts).
- UI/navigation issues after updates: slow touch response, small buttons, and difficulty moving between holes or downloading courses.
- Settings and preferences not persisting across sessions (units, temperature, etc. reset or ignored).
- Audio/voice feedback removed or not functioning (loss of audible distances/features).
