## GHIN Reviews in United States

### ***** "App stopped working again after IOS update"
Update:  since updating to the latest app version the iWatch and iPhone now work well together as intended. The team addressed the issues and fix the problem in a very timely fashion. One cannot ask for more than that. Thank You!!

The app has been working well up until yesterday when I updated my iPhone IOS to 18.2 and the watch app to 11.2. Now the app on the iPhone works well but when trying to connect the iwatch it just says searching and to start round on iPhone. A problem we had in the past. The app probably needs an update to sync with the iPhone and watch app using the latest IOS updates
-- stshbe, 2024-12-27

### *---- "Terrible App when using GPS functionality"
The app constantly closes on my phone when using the GPS functionality.  Has potential but the constant closing of the app is a definite no go. I only use it when on the typical occasion I forget my Arccos link., but if I were using it weekly for GPS I would look elsewhere.
-- Sons_of_pitches, 2024-12-24

### ***** "Much improved - very competitive"
12.20.24 Update. The iOS 18.2 and Apple Watch 11.2 issue has been resolved. Quick response from the developers. Thank you. 

12.14.24 Update: The iOS 18.2 and Watch 11.2 updates  have broken the link between the GHIN iPhone and Apple Watch app. The phone app works fine. The Watch app ties to connect and then crashes. This is a step backward. 

The most recent release is significantly improved. It is stable and works very well with an Apple Watch. The GPS is fast and accurate. The green maps - heat maps and putt views are easy to use. Overall the app is much improved over the past few months. An area for enhancement would be to provide  customized stat graphics similar to other apps such as Hole 19 or 18 Birdies. The app keeps getting better. Well done.
-- rdr945, 2024-12-21

### ***-- "Good App, critical flaw"
Absolutely ridiculous that during the off season this app won’t even let you use it to keep score and round statistics. Please change so we can at least use during off season. App is useless 4 months a year. I use Grint now instead, they let you keep score and more detailed stats year round, and just don’t use off-season rounds when computing handicap.
-- raf_bmore, 2024-12-17

### ****- "Great golf app could be better"
High Hcp trying to lower it. I track stats, count putts, look for areas to improve, and the app is good for all of that. Also love using my watch on the course. Distances are reliable. Greens on the phone are great.  My main beef is this: it will not let me keep score on courses outside their posting windows. I used a free app that let me keep scores that it did not include in my handicap. What gives? I shot my second best score in December this year; my best on New Years Day a few back. I’d like to have the data even if it doesn’t figure in. And when I use it those times without score the app will NOT close on my phone because there is no round to end. Please fix those and I will be your biggest fan!!!
-- Gronny2, 2024-12-12

### ***-- "Winter golf"
It’s a really good app and I like it a lot except during the winter when I can’t post my score I can’t use the app! So it’s not really an annual app for me. I should be able to count my score with some warning that it won’t post since it’s out of the season.
-- barefootdds, 2024-11-30

### *---- "Terrible app - consistently glitchy"
Constantly loses track of my scores by hole and won’t let me correct them. I would not use this app if it were free!
-- J_dub81_, 2024-11-17

### ***** "Score card view"
Would love to see the entire scorecard on the view scorecard after posting scores. Mainly so I could screen shot to share with others. Right now you need to scroll to the side to view all 18 holes.

Edit- found share scorecard option. Looks great.
-- 808whacks, 2024-09-27

### ***** "Zoom would be the 6th star"
Ability to zoom in on the green view would help read the map better!
-- Strazzola, 2024-09-11

### ****- "Awesome but stats have issues"
Posted last couple rounds in August and September 2024, no matter the score it shows I hit GIR stat (I post hole by hole with stats as often as possible). Not a big deal but I like to keep stats so hopefully you can fix it. Also each hole defaults to bogey score when posting now as hole by hole. Again not a big deal but annoying to keep changing score when posting. Thanks!
-- Johnny63856000, 2024-09-11

### **--- "Limited GPS"
I loved this app initially but now the yardage to areas in the fairway are not available. Very disappointed that the monthly fee is so high.
-- not audible, 2024-09-10

### *---- "Always crashes"
This app stinks. It&#039;s constantly shutting down and when you reopen it the scores you&#039;ve entered are gone.
-- Patriot-JRD, 2024-09-08

### ***** "Finally!!!!"
Used the new version today with Apple Watch and it didn’t crash once. Do we dare to hope it finally works?!  If so, its exactly what I want. Front, middle, back and not a bunch of stats.
-- tratliff, 2024-09-04

### *---- "Can’t log in"
“Invalid Request “
-- Cccccccccjkajbf, 2024-09-01

### **--- "Posting hole by hole is broken."
For the last 2 seasons I used the app as a scorecard, posting hole by hole while playing… enter hole scores 3 at a time then save, then hit post &amp; finish round, enter the next 3 holes &amp; repeat this process until finished. For the last couple months when I try to do this the app frequently loses the saved hole by hole scores. I have also had a number of cases where I set up an 18 hole round, complete the first 9 holes, hit post &amp; finish round to enter back 9 holes only to have the app re-open the round as a 9 hole round with no ability to enter back 9 hole by hole. Something broke! I like the app but these 2 problems have greatly diminished its utility.
-- Fast7ed, 2024-08-28

### *---- "Almost works…"
Had the app for a couple of years and it mostly worked fine. The app would occasionally shut down during use but upon restart you could pick up where you left off and the scores for holes you played would be retained.
In the past 6 months something has changed.  When the app restarts all your scores are gone and it only shows the first 9 holes.  So basically you have to record on a paper card while using the app.  Kind of defeats the purpose of electronic scoring.
When I tried to get help via their email I get no response.  So I can’t recommend paying for this app which is kind of a shame because when it works it has some nice features.
-- GoHawks98059, 2024-08-21

### ***-- "Default score of bogey"
Please default score entry at par please - makes no sense starting at bogey
-- leewebskow, 2024-08-20

### ****- "Good app, getting better"
The app continues to improve and I use the stats function often.  I would like to see the following changes, upgrades.  1) change the colors for the stats.  It doesn’t have to be a some kind of shade of green.  Try a different color.  2) that doesn’t seem to be a way to select a penalty stroke.  3.  When reviewing stats after a round, the data in the screen needs to be recalibrated so that you can clearly see the stats for fairway accuracy.
-- JGCOOP, 2024-08-19

### **--- "Bug since last update!"
I’ve used the app for several years just fine and after the last update it doesn’t save the score on a hole when I advance forward. For example, on our #1 hole, Par 5, it starts me off at 6, when I change it to 5 and advance, when I go back, it’s back to 6.
-- RgR1972, 2024-08-10

### **--- "Too hard to do the simple stuff"
This app DOES drain your battery.  One issue is it doesn’t auto advance even after working through the settings.  The biggest issue is the junk you have to endure on stats and hole by hole score.  You can’t just get distances.
