Its good
First time using the app and I like it and would receive a full 5 stars if it wasn’t so premium based ... it’s a big outlay for statistics I could keep written down to be honest !! The gps is out by a good 10-15 yards which may not sound like a lot but as a better player this the difference of two clubs and a potential birdy/par/bogey opportunity! May go back to using my other GPS app which was accurate to half a yard and did the majority that this does for FREE
2019-02-13
Great app
Great app and useful tool
2019-01-20
Enjoying the app
Have used for 7 rounds now starting to see my constants and getting to understand the app better just need to remember to track my shot all the time probably needs a bigger button to remind me lol
2019-01-13
DO NOT BUY PREMIUM!!!!
Had for a long while on the free version and it was great!!
It kept coming up saying upgrade to premium and for months I was debating it.
It kept on showing me all these things you could do when you upgrade to premium and no all of a sudden once I’ve upgraded. It isn’t allowing me to do that. Please everybody save yourself the £18.99 and stick to the free version.

Top app

Golf pad
BRILLIANT!!!!
2018-11-18
USELESS
Used it on Saturday for game. It did not do what it said it would do like club suggestion & accuracy in terms of yardage. Tracking my shots was a nightmare as it would not allow me input whether it was on fairway, thinned it or went left. Pointless having something that will not do exactly what it seduces you to buy the product.
2018-11-09
Brilliant App
This app is spot on! Easy to use, really sharp features and accurate course info. Well worth the download and definitely considering upgrading!
2018-10-13
Great!
Very easy to use and extremely handy on the course. Premium upgrade for the Apple Watch is also worthwhile if you have one!
2018-10-10
Golf pad
Excellent app for experienced and beginners. Accurate yardage too.
2018-10-01
Golf Pad (free)
Top notch app. Has helped me track my golf & understand my clubs better. Professional statistics & all for free. Seriously considering going Platinum at only £18 a year.
2018-09-27
Great value
Getting used to it and I am more than happy with the APP
2018-09-16
Simply brilliant - love it
The title says it all
2018-09-15
Rubbish
Paid for premium can’t access any of the features and still took the £18 subscription
2018-09-12
Great App. Love it 5🌟
Great little app.
2018-08-28
App good but struggled with premium
Downloaded app and everything was on until I subscribed. It worked for 5 minutes then stopped working. Now I have lost my subscription fee with no premium service.
2018-08-20
Golf pad is really good
Great app and perfect for me as I’m a beginner and the stats are really helpful
2018-08-06
Must have.
Skylark is awesome. My favourite holes are 5 , 6, 9 ,10 ,12 & 18. Good job by the green keepers. Can’t wait for our society day on 14/09/18.

Golf
Easy to use once set up great little app.

Group play
I love using golf pad and it has improved my game but when I use it in group play the data recording is impossible to do accurately without holding everyone up .
Can this be simplified

Great app
What an amazing free app easy to use , thinking of upgrading to premium
2018-07-15
Excellent free starter app
Excellent app in its free basic form. Will purchase full app in future
2018-07-14
Helpful, no problem and works well
Just upgraded it and I strongly recommend it, it tells you everything you need to know and very detailed. Don’t need dater nor WiFi very easy to set up on both my phone and Apple Watch plus very easy to use. My only warning is it does have little course on it in the UK so if you want to play at your local club check if you can get your course. But no problems!!!

Stableford
Brilliant app fantastic the way it works out your net score obviously knows the stroke index just think it would be absolutely brilliant if it worked out your stableford score. Would love it even more and recommend it more vigorously if it did.

Best golfing partner!
2018-04-29
Great!
Awesome app, I remember when you had to pay £300 for a GPS device that went on a buggy and all it did was give a single yardage, this app is functionally rich, beautifully executed and so far no niggles or complaints after first weekend run out
2018-04-20
Great app
Fantastic way to monitor what you are doing on the course. Th only area I would recommend they improve is when someone takes an iron to chip, it does not let you record that. As a result, your average distances can get really messed up. But I am not complaining here. Love it.

iPhone X configuration
Need to support iPhone X screen size at present it’s missing top off, not acceptable for a paid app, won’t be renewing unless resolved!
2018-04-08
Great App
Easy to use reliable and great vfm
2018-03-31
Great golf app
Love this app. Easy to use, functionality is very good and love the link between my iPhone & watch.
The support team have been outstanding and very prompt on the odd occasion I have contacted them.
To enhance the app further I’d love to see the scoring options increased and more group/team options possibly including live scoring for multiple groups.
Great app. Give it a try.
2018-01-28
App crashes
I live this app. It's so good. However since the latest update it now shows I don't have internet connection (which I do). So won't load the course. Pity.
2018-01-14
Very good
Just what the doctor ordered
2018-01-13
Excellent app
The app is Easy to use and has many more functions than other free apps including some statistical information on club distances. Another useful function is the ability to modify the course layout using the app on the course.
All round I was very pleased with the ease of use and functions available. I rarely write reviews but the people who supply this app deserve a great one.
2017-12-25
My personal caddie and coach
I have tried most of the golf scoring gps apps and, for me, GolfPad GPS is far and away the best. Combined with the Link and AppleWatch I have all the distance information I need on the course. I also have all the shot information for post round reviews and statistical analysis, club by club. Love it. Great responsive support too when I did have some issues early on.
2017-11-04
Functions
I am really on a good streak since I paid for the app accidentally. Scoring better now as I use more of the functions.
Can’t wait to play anew course and use the fly by function.
2017-10-31
Great but...
Apple Watch app has been a little flaky of late. It just freezes now and again requiring quitting of both the main phone app and watch app before it springs back to life.
2017-10-26
Best free golf app.
Great app. Very helpful, very accurate and for free... a bargain!
2017-10-16
As good as any other
Used Golf Pad for ages, never seen anything better.
2017-10-12
The best of its type
I have tried several of these apps. This is the best by far. The interface is slick and the map feature is class leading.
2017-10-05
Link is awesome
Just purchased Link for my iPhone and after a slight confusion with the instructions I got it to work perfectly. Using Magellan Echo I need to connect Link to phone and phone to Magellan. You cannot connect Magellan directly to Link which is a shame. However no big deal in carrying the phone. A 5 hour round only discharges iPhone battery by about 40%.
Very pleased with the product. Beats skycaddie and the rest into a cocked hat!!!
2017-09-14
Amazing
Love this app , I bought it a long time ago and I can't fault it - perfect on my iPhone 6
2017-09-08
Brilliant
Absolutely love this app, great on the course with accurate yardages and scoring history. Then once at home fantastic to review performance and individual club yardages. Using this app has help my game no end, using it over 200 times in the past 2 years.
2017-08-03
Happy
Used this app quite a few times, easy to use.
2017-07-22
Accurate
As accurate as the very expensive gps systems!
2017-07-09
Poor app
Poor app, crashes on an iPhone 5s constantly, keeps forgetting I am a premium member, can't load courses, can't find courses
2017-06-03
Improvements
Instead of having to program in a number of rounds to get the app suggest club selection. Can you just program in a number of club lengths and the computer will calculate lengths for other clubs

Problems with latest version
I'm a great fan of Golfpad but since moving to latest version have had instances of it hanging and getting the course map now seems impossible. This is on iPhone 6 + with iOS 10.3.2
