Do you use an app to keep track of scoring?

Just looking for advice from those who use a phone app to keep track of their score and handicap. Which do you prefer? TIA

I just started using Golf Shot.  It keeps track of everything that I can think of, plus it has a GPS feature on it too.  I got it for an adroid and I think it cost 29 dollars.

Thanks! I was looking more for a free or almost free app, but this one looks very solid.

+1 for Golfshot. Worth the money. They've also regularly added new features over the past few years and I've yet to be charged for an upgrade.

Golfshot used to be good, but the current upgrade in the android version keeps malfunctioning.  I get to the course, start up the app, and it doesn't want to work.  I have to log off, erase all data, then redownload all data to the phone, while getting ready to play.

Also, the statistics functions aren't all working correctly.  The online stats look okay, but if you look at the stats with the phone app, it ignores all fairway misses to the right.  (I guess that's one way to fix a slice.)  They're working on this problem, they say.  But they don't know why I keep having the log in trouble.

It's too bad, because it worked just fine until the updates in late December and January. I've spent the money, but I'm about ready to ditch it until they update it.

I use the free Android version of the Golf Pad GPS app.  I found that several other GPS apps I tried drained my battery dead by the 13th or so hole, but I can easily make it through 18 holes with Golf Pad.  It's a solid app and quite accurate as to distances.

I haven't had any of those issues, and I have an android phone. I just got it a few weeks ago. Have you tried to update it recently?

There is one thing missing that I know people who use 'Scorecard'  can do, and that is track the distance of the first putt.  That seems like it would be a pretty good stat to have, so someday I may just get that program (I don't think it has a phone app, so you'd have to write everything down manually, then input it later, but don't quote me on that!) but for now, Golfshot seems to do the trick.  I'm mainly paying attention to fairways and greens at this point anyway.

Golflogix.   It does it all.

Cell phone use on the golf course is illegal. If you use one your handicap is fake. A device like a sky caddie can keep your score while giving you distance readings.

I thought it was illegal to use a cellphone as a golf GPS, but you are permitted to use it for texts, e-mails, phone calls and score keeping.

They have great commercials on the Golf Channel, but I got only 12-13 holes before Golflogix drained my battery dead on my old Android phone and never got through more than 14 holes on my new Android phone with a stronger battery.  Golfpad works just as well and I still have at least 1/3 of my battery life alive after 18 holes.

+1

I use the paid version because it keeps more stats, but I really like the app and the website.
