Iphone GPS apps: Golfshot vs Golflogix - Page 4

I just bought GolfShot for my Iphone 4S and took it out yesterday.  It worked well, and had the ability to track every swing to give me my personal yardages for each club.  Around the 7th hole, it started to freeze up, and was pretty worthless the rest of the round.  I  could still input my scores, but the GPS screen was just black.  From the sounds of it, that's not common, but it was frustrating to have it happen on my first outing. 

The other feature that didn't work for me, was the ability to touch anywhere on the screen and get the yardage.  Like, if I wanted to know the distance to a bunker, I thought I could just tap the bunker and it would show the yardage.  But, it didn't matter where I tapped on the screen, nothing happened.  I ended up buying the GolfScape app that works with it, and it provided yardage to some of the main hazards, but it wasn't super user friendly.  It had me hold my phone up, camera pointing down the fairway, and tried to mark the hazards, but it didn't look great.  I'm going to read the user guide, and hope that it does more than that.

As for accuracy, it was always withing 3-5 yards of what the laser showed, and what the course markers showed.  That is close enough for me, and overall, I was really happy with it.  I'm heading out again today, and will hopefully figure out how to use it better.

I used Golflogix on both the Iphone 4 and now my galaxy note 2. As previously mentioned, a round with my iphone would pretty much kill the battery. With my Note 2 i only lose about 15-20 percent over 18. To be honest, i never heard of golfshot until now i'll have to look into it. I dont regret buying my memberships on golflogix thus far

I have downloaded and tested nearly every golf app on the iPhone app store.  Golfshot is by far the most reliable.  It is also easy to use as you are playing.  Add you club, did you miss it left of right, etc.  All can easily be done as you are walking the course or back to your cart.  I have a Callaway and Leupold range finder and my app is within a yard of them every time.  Since purchasing the app over a year ago my range finder stays in the bag.

I used golflogix the past two seasons. I had a Samsung Inspire previously and the app would crash every once and a while and my phone battery was terrible - nothing to do with the app, but it wasn't the best phone. It crashed sporatically when I wasn't using the app.

Now I have an iPhone 5 and hopefully the better battery will make it much more usable.

I LOVE Golfshot for my iphone 5. It's head and shoulders better than the old 2.5 version was on my android.

It's clean, not very intrusive on my round, and generally pretty accurate.

I also really like being able to go in and check out all my stats from round to round.

Golflogix has more tracking which I like, but the interface is pretty ugly.

I have to agree with this. Golfshot has a way nicer interface! 

GolfShot + 1 on Galaxy S3. I have 2.5 years worth of scorecards on there. 

I have actually been going back and forth between which I like more...

I golfed on sunday with a guy who had a hand held sky caddie. I was using GolfLogix on my iPhone 5 for the round and our readings were identical. Only benefit he had was the screen being very easy to read and it did update to your current location quicker.
