So I want to start by saying the app and concept are awesome. I’ve had a great time using it and it’s been really cool to compare the data to my Garmin. Overall, I have really enjoyed using it. My only gripe is the spin system. While I 100% realize it is RNG and likely not predetermined in any major way other than potentially favoring memberships. However, I’ve had quite a few instances where the spinner seems to fast stop on tickets one day, and then sloooooow roll from a diamond membership to tickets today. As in this literally just happened. It’s not so much that I am upset by the outcome, it’s random. But more the manner with which the spinner itself seemingly favors landing on tickets and clearly a difference in the speed it was spinning when it landed. Maybe this is by design to surprise you when it fast stops or slow stops on a cool item. Either way, still a dope app all around.

As a mobile app developer I can say without a doubt the UI/UX is clunky. Key actions blend in with normal visuals and are not as prominent as they should be, such as changing courses, the action button blends in with just a 2px border around it, it doesn’t stand out. It’s not as intuitive as it should be, it’s geared way more towards selling memberships than utilizing benefits of shot tracking to which it is lacking, great you can enter a score, but what’s clubs and distances. GPS is free because they want you to buy memberships, people may be more inclined to if the UI was More intuitive and functional.Daily spins are a joke, the randomization is keyed into points passes and tickets, several videos showing different speeds and how the randomized will stop one before and then jump to a ticket or points passes, or will go consistently without stoping to one or the other. Maybe another tactic to get users to buy memberships and placebo effect of “maybe I have better chances with a membership”.This app needs a new designer or development team lead that understands user interactions and how to make a clear action item stand out. Even just adding a white background with some opacity to make certain action buttons standout would be a huge improvement. I will say this fails the UI/UX standard guidelines produced by Apple in their development guides.

I have 18 birdies and Arcos, which are incredible apps. But I have to pay for all the additional stat tracking and everything with my golf game. This app does not charge you for anything that relates to the caddy app experience, it’s all free!And what is awesome Is you earn Points when you play. Those points are traded in for golf clubs or balls. I’ve been playing this app for a month and I already have enough points to buy a new set of irons and a new set of wedges. You can select different levels of membership, I paid for the $50 a month membership. And I’ve already paid for new irons and a brand new set of Cleveland wedges. I can’t believe it. But they showed up at my door from ordering on the app with points I earned. And I also got five boxes of Srixon Z star balls! Insane!

This app doesn’t just provide a great GPS distance/Course overview, it also makes golf fun again by providing different and many unique ways to engage with the community. Earn points that can be used towards sweepstakes entries or even trade them in for real world items (balls, clubs, etc). One thing I really enjoy is the GPS not just shows distance but also pulls local weather to show Wind speed and direction. This adjusted according to your position/orientation showing you accurate wind direction. Which is a lot more than I can say about my Bushnell X3+ Link rangefinder! Really enjoying the app so far and excited to see the more updates and features rolling out in the future!
