★★★★★ 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!

4 ★ The app on the phone works great. It's nice to be able to tap to see distance to bends or hazards. However, the companion app for the Galaxy Watch Active 2 will only let me track shots/putts for about 3 holes before it freezes, even when the phone is in my pocket. When I update my shots on the phone, sometimes the app reconnects and sometimes it doesn't. If the watch app worked consistently it would be 5/5.
4 ★ I use this with a Note 8 and Gear S3 Watch. For the most part it works. However on occasion the tag becomes disassociated with the club, sometimes in the middle of the round. Requires me to go back and edit. Getting used to tagging was the hardest part for me. Some courses that are 9 holes, it will move between the front and the back, again causing me to have to go in and edit the round. I like the club recommendation on my watch, and becoming reliant on it. Sometimes forget what my distances are for my clubs (sucks if watch or phone dies) . A few of the tags broke, and they sent replacements (within first 90 days), now i have taken to just adding a few drops of superglue to the tag. I also wish there was a little more information on the watch besides yardage, like maybe distances to hazards, bunkers ect.
2 ★ I've been using golfpad with my golfing friends for about 5 yrs and thought it was great. We used the group round and could add other golfers and see their round stats as we go. However the new feature "leaderboard" has proven to be useless. It is not as simple to add people, and after the round you cannot see scores and statistics for comparison. Basically what I'm saying is the old group round feature was so much better, please restore it. It's making me think of a different app to download.
5 ★ Been using this app for several years, and it is the best I've seen. I have a Samsung S21 Ultra phone, linked to a Samsung 3 watch. I prefer to use the watch, so that checking yardage is super simple. The phone has more features (hole fly-over, map of hazards, etc) but I rarely need or want that. It is nice to see the "effective distance" taking into account wind, temperature and elevation factors. Plus I can keep my score right in the app.
1 ★ I've been a long time user of the app and tags, and absolutely loved the simplicity, ease of use, and fantastic stat keeping. However, this latest update has been a huge disappointment. Correcting club selection and shots on a hole by hole basis is utterly frustrating. And when keeping score for multiple users, the app display is too bloated and requires way too many swipes just to input scores per player. In the grand scheme of things, these issues aren't huge, but it greatly impacts ease of use, and you end up spending way too much time fiddling with the app during a round, instead of being able to concentrate on your game.
5 ★ Updated review. Corrected past issue with Bluetooth speaker. Have used this app since 2017 and outside of that one issue, this app has been great. Distances are accurate when compared with range finder, give or take a couple of yards. Outstanding value for price. Recently tried the Play with GPS function that came with GHIN app and while the green heat maps are a nice touch, the extra costs not worth it given all the features you get with GolfPad.
3 ★ I've been using the app for years, and the premium version for the last year. It has all of the features that one could want, but also has issues that aren't really addressed. The TAGS sold separately do not really work that well with the app. Security settings do not stay set which requires a LOT of fumbling with during a round. The TAGS have to be held in an awkward position for a few seconds to register, which is MUCH slower than just selecting the club manually in the app. The handicap calculator makes mistakes and the developers can't explain why. It's very difficult to even find the rounds being used (and not even possible on the website), but when manually averaging the best 8 differentials from the last 20 rounds, I get a different number than the app calculates. When I brought this to their attention, I was told that 'handicaps are confusing" and brushed off. Could be great if fundamental flaws were addressed. No other app is perfect either, so I'll probably keep using this one.
5 ★ I love this app! I've tried several different golf GPS apps and none stand up to Golf Pad. The integration and features available on a watch device are the best I've found. The ability to track your entire round from your watch without carrying your phone outside the cart is a big deal to me. I wanted the freedom of having everything right there on the watch and Golf Pad gave me that. I would like to see some better statistic graphics and a little better map screen, but overall, I'm overjoyed.
2 ★ My experience with the app started extremely positively as it was able to provide distances to the green as well as keeping score and providing a handicap after enough rounds were completed. However the GPS function has stopped working entirely for me, even after reinstalling the app it would give wildly inaccurate distances to the hole (saying I was 800 yards from the green on a 160 yard hole). I regret subscribing to the plus version of the app as it's been a waste of money for what I wanted.
4 ★ I've used this app prolly a good 5 to 6 years. I am a pro membership and it's a great one that will allow areial view of the course and look at all the hazards and freely see distances from where you are at. It's very useful and seems most simple to utilize. Downsides are as follows; handicap holes are hard to know (app automatically calculates your handicap). Statistics are sub-par, I've seen really nice stats from 18 birdies but I don't like the whole cluttered visuals on 18 birdies.
5 ★ The app is great. I used it with great success all last season with my golf pad tags. I love the shared rounds with friends. I now see that my smartwatch no longer connects without premium. I understand that but my friend has the free app and has retained all of his stats on his clubs. My club stats, handicap has been locked up unless I buy premium. This does not make sense to me. it's almost as if I am now penalized for not repurchasing the app.
4 ★ So far it works well. I just started using the recording of score. I loaded the app to determine distance for the correct selection. I've compared this app with other golfers & the distances are very close. One option that would be helpful is the ability to point at an object (tree, sandtrap, etc) to determine the distance, for lay-up shots on par 5 holes. That ability may be available, but haven't taken the time to find it.
4 ★ The app is great!!! Yardage is very accurate and club recommendations are spot on. The app drains the battery on my watch (Wear OS) very quickly but i think that's an issue with the watch, not the app. To me, the app has some problems when my watch dies. It'd be nice if the app recognised that and stop looking for GPS from the watch. I'd also like to see the net score displayed on the scorecard. Definitely recommend this app!!!
5 ★ Great help with my game recommending clubs, giving distance to front middle and back of greens, and data on game play after my round shows what I need to work on. UI is clean and smooth. I've had the tabs for two years and have only had to replace one of them. $20 a year for a caddy seems very reasonable to me. Edit: if your renewing with Google pay, hit refresh button in settings after payment is made.
5 ★ Highly reccomend!! This app is excellent. I've used it for about 10 rounds and it has significantly improved my eye for distance. It is also nice that there aren't a ton of pop-up ads, and they don't constantly try to get you to buy the upgraded version. The map feature is convenient, app is easy to use. It had had every course I've played uploaded, and I live in MT so I was pleasantly surprised. Overall excellent product.
