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.

Developer Response ,

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.

Apple Watch Integration is Amazing

I have been using GolfLogix for many years. I have tried others, only to conclude GolfLogix is the best. And that was before the latest update which added awesome Apple Watch usability. In the past, the watch would tell me how far it was from the phone to the hole. Normally, no big issue as the cart (with the phone) was beside the ball. It made a difference in “cart path only” days as I had to put the phone in my pocket to insure accurate yardage. Now, the yardage on the watch updates from where the watch is, not the phone! Very useful! Also, the statistics (fairway hit, number of putts) can be scored on the watch. Once I open the App on the phone, I don’t have to use it again unless I want the study the hole map, or the round is over. Super accurate yardage.
