★★★★★ 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!

***Switch to Golf Pad Classic for a bug free good experience and to not be a beta tester of a poorly overhalled app*** Warning for users, the "overhall" version of the app has loads of bugs and is so far feels like a downgraded version. I will update my review once they fixed the tonne of bugs or rolled back to the old version. Another update, another bug, now you have to swipe down the GolfPad notification before it lets you switch back to app, previously you could just tap it to return.

Hey Tom, thank you for the feedback. We are working as quickly as possible to iron everything out. This was a full platform update which is a huge undertaking but we are on it and will be better than ever quickly! Any feedback you would like to send to support@golfpadgps.com would be appreciated as well!

Offers More Than Needed I use the paid app, I have it on my phone and on my watch. It's been very helpful and I don't think it's expensive for the data it proved at approx £28 a year. Cost effective way of checking distances, strokes gained and other data which is also sharable.

Used to be great for getting a quick yardage without unlocking the phone - the yardage being displayed on the lock screen notification - but following updates it's no longer possible to advance to the next hole without unlocking the phone so much of the value has gone. It's still a nice enough app but for me this was its USP and there are many similar apps out there.
