GolfLogix: 3D Golf Course GPS 4+

Great APP - Needs some work

I’ve been using this APP as a Champion Member for ~5+ years. It’s been a great APP up until recently. I purchased an Apple iWatch 4 with Cellular/GPS and was hoping I wouldn’t need to carry my iPhone 8+ everywhere on the course and could just leave it in the cart and use the standalone GPS feature in the iWatch 4. Unfortunately, there is times the standalone GPS feature in the iWatch 4 appears to work and shows a different distance than what is shown on the iPhone 8+ sitting in the golf cart - and there is times the distance to the center of the green doesn’t change on the iWatch 4 as I walk 25-50 yards in front of the iPhone 8+ sitting in the golf cart. Please work to improve this feature.

Additionally, the new updates are a bit annoying. Why is it the approach and green maps automatically pop-up? This slows me down too much - I would rather have the ability to access approach and green maps when desired. Please add a feature where one can select a setting where the approach and green maps can be set to AUTO ON at the users request. Thanks

4/12 - Sent email on 4/1 to Developer (Gerald) IRT stand-alone GPS feature in iWatch 4 not working - it’s not reliable. I’ve been unable to leave my iPhone in the golf cart and receive a different distance on iWatch 4. I sent email to Gerald who indicated a possible syncing problem between iPhone and iWatch 4 but have yet to hear from Gerald. Disappointed.

Dear Valued Member,

This sounds like some type of synching issue between your phone and the watch. Please contact me at gerald@golflogix.com and we will get you straightened out.

We have had a number of requests to allow the option to turn on/off the auto features for the green maps.

Regards,

Outstanding GPS & scorecard

Love it, have been using it since 2013. Great GPS function & scorecard. I have the upgrade Premium Membership with the additional features & stats = great additional features for the small annual fee. Neat tracking for pitches, chip & putts... The most important strokes of the game. Wouldn't be without it on the course... Makes lay ups where necessary and easy to plan with the target layup feature.
Scorecard is customizable & easy to enter scores/stats for the hole. Haven't set up club tracking yet, but I believe it may "suggest" a club to use if properly setup. Allows team scoring, although I don't use that. My focus is to track & improve my game, with on the course assistance for distance - especially when playing new or infrequently visited courses.
Stat tracking is fun to watch - especially on putts... seems my most consistent "miss" is on the RIGHT. Probably relates to my setup for the putt (offline or incorrectly reading it - optical illusions?)... so it is targeting "something" to work on! All around a great & versatile App. Loads fast & is relatively easy on the iPhone battery... typically uses about 25 - 30% of the battery for an 18 hole round. I have done 36 holes without a battery recharge - started with close to 100%, battery was still ok for phone calls etc when done with golf rounds.

Update NOT an improvement

This is an update of my previous review seen below. The app was updated and is now working very well. I can now recommend this app once again. All the issues I was having have been fixed and I enjoy using it on the course. The company did contact me and I appreciate their follow-up.

I’ve used this app for many years and have recommended it to many friends. I feel I can no longer recommend it. Updating the new yardage as you move is very slow. Sometimes, it doesn’t register the distance at all, and I have to get correct yardage from other players. You have to wait for it to catch up to your new position. The map of the hole is smaller and more difficult to see. The old app would keep the app open during the round. Now I have to reopen the app each time I check my yardage. I contacted support twice, with no response. A definite step backwards.

Developer Response ,

First, thank you for being a loyal GolfLogix user and for recommending us over the years, we truly value that support. We’re very sorry to hear the recent update has let you down. The issues you mentioned: slow yardage updates, reduced map visibility, and the app closing during play are being actively addressed. We’ve already submitted a new build to Apple that improves GPS responsiveness, increases map visibility, and adds support for keeping the app active during rounds.

We also want to apologize for the lack of support follow-up, that’s not the experience we aim to provide. If you’re willing, please reach out again at support@golflogix.com, and we’ll prioritize getting this resolved for you personally. Your feedback is helping us build a better app, and we hope to win back your recommendation.
