GPS and SCORECARD app. Swing by swing.

[SpannersReady]

Hi fellas. Im using SWING BY SWING on android on my ATRIX gingerbread. Im currently using the free GPS and it really is ace. Updates in real time is accurate and automatically goes to the next hole when you putt out(or goes to the scorecard) I just had the free trial on the scorecard and now im wondering if I should upgrade swing by swing or if there are better apps out there. Im totally sold on having an electronic card for casual rounds. Its quicker than pencil and card. Its attached to my trolley handle. It displays the yardage and when you get to the hole it presents options to input what you scored plus your tee shot direction and putts. From this it emails you your round and compiles stats like GIR drive accuracy and more. This feature is $12 and I dont know if this is good value. Im in the UK. they also offer a pro looper package that has some features that sound great but the $50 puts it beyond what the wife wont notice. I would think if the main package was $20-25 I would snap it up. Any alternate app for me must have the low fuss factor of SBS. Thanks guys. Technophobes need not reply. The future is happening with or without your consent. And while im at it... grammar, spelling and punctuation will all change drastically in my lifetime so chill out on that too. I call my trousers, pants and I consider emoticons to be punctuation :-)

I normally use GolfShot for score keeping (haven't shelled out for the GPS version on it) and that's pretty good and worth checking out.

Thanks for the heads-up on SbS; I'd not heard of it before now and am always swapping between several others in the hope that one of them will become a favourite (GolfCard GPS which is simple and not too bad, Mobitee which is great if they course already exists in their database but if you take the time to create a course don't expect it to appear any time soon, myCaddie Pro which is my current favourite)

I use GolfLogix on a regular basis and it does a pretty good job. It tracks scores, distances, putts, chips, etc. and the paid version tracks game improvement, distances to front/center/back and some other stuff that's a little too advanced for me. I don't know what the course coverages are like in the UK, but every course I've played in Podunk, Indiana but one shows up.
