## Review summary

Users generally praise Golfshot for being easy to use, accurate with yardages, and feature-rich with solid support. However, recurring concerns center on pricing and billing practices, unreliable auto-shot tracking and watch integration, GHIN posting issues, persistent bugs/slow updates, and noticeable battery drain on Apple devices. The core tool remains valuable, but the subscription model and reliability frustrations are the most frequently mentioned pain points.

### Pros

- Easy to use and intuitive UI.
- Accurate yardages and helpful course previews.
- Rich feature set with scoring, stats tracking, and an up-to-date course database.
- Responsive customer support and quick data updates (new tees, course data).
- Strong Apple Watch integration for scoring and yardages when the watch app works.

### Cons

- Pricing and billing issues: frequent upsell prompts to Pro, unclear free vs paid model, immediate charges and refund hassles.
- Auto-shot tracking and watch integration are unreliable: auto-track may not record swings and watch scoring can fail (blank screens).
- GHIN posting can fail, preventing rounds from posting automatically.
- Persistent bugs and slow updates: long-standing issues persist and some features feel neglected.
- Significant battery drain on Apple Watch (and iPhone) during rounds.
