Swing by Swing golf app

[PeteK]

So I've been using the Swing by Swing golf GPS app on my android phone.  I was totally loving it.  Seemed to be accurate GPS yardage and worked great as a digital scorecard and has functions to distance clubs by marking each shot on the course.

But yesterday it seemed like it went all phooey on me.  The GPS was off by several hundred yards.  On a 160 yard par 3, it was reading 375 yards from the tee box.  On another hole, about 50 yards from the green, it was reading 120 yards.

I've used it probably 10 times before with no issues.  Maybe I'm expecting too much out of a phone app that was free?  IDK.  Anyone use this app or have any alternative suggestions?

I use Golfshot GPS and love it. Have used it for over 5 years now and have never had an issue with it.

Are you simply looking for a GPS that tells you on course "to pin" distance, or more post game stats? (how far you hit a club, fairways hit, etc)

Sometimes you need to "re-boot" the App and it should correct the location.

Usually, it's just the software hanging or in a non-responsive mode.

Tons of free Golf GPS / Scoring Apps nowadays.

I tried the Swing by Swing app a few years ago.  The damn thing would always lock up on the second tee box so I quite using it.

I mostly just want the yardage to the pin info and maybe the occasional "how far to clear that hazard" distance.  I also like using it as a scorecard.  Maybe I'll try a different app.

I would highly recommend the Hole19 app - nice, clean looking app!
