★★★★★ Great app!
I've been using this app for a few years now and have never had a problem with it. The accuracy compared with a range finder is spot on. I've played 27 holes using this and still had plenty of battery power left. Great app!

I use this app with every round and have found it very accurate. It finds the course I'm playing immediately, and the map feature is invaluable for determining distances to hazards such as lakes or OBs. It has saved my score when playing a new course with doglegs and other hazards, which show up on the map. I remain amazed that so much quality is offered on a free app!!! As a course rater for the golf association, the distances were so accurate we used the app to determine shot locations.

I absolutely love this app! Without the tags, it provides a great range and accuracy, comparable to a range finder. Since I started using it, I’ve seen a significant improvement in my game. The tag features are even better, offering incredible insights like plays, club suggestions, and more. I’m not affiliated with the app in any way, but I have to say, it’s been like having a personal caddie right in my pocket. Just a year ago, I was shooting in the 140s, but now I’m consistently in the 110s.

I bought these Golf Tags a couple of weeks ago. They work pretty well. The thing is they should include a tag for the Super Stroke putters. I oredered one from the Golf Tag site itself since it's not included in the set. It falls off, so that's frustrating. An extra 20-25 bucks for that .A practice mode would be great. When I first got them and played the first round. I was keeping a buddy's score and had to add his email. Now he gets my scores emailed to him. Not bad though.

Hi Juan, thanks for the feedback! It's true, some superstroke putters do require a different size. In order to do this for our Tags users, we had to build a completely different Tag as this grip became more popular. As for the email, you most definitely do not have to enter his email to keep score. Just the name is good and leave the email blank!
