Golfmetrics

Good for getting strokes gained info. Would be nice if it was satellite map based rather than fake map. Easier to place shots relative to landmarks that way. Also would be nice to see all tee boxes regardless of chosen tee box. Some courses have no fairway or no green which skews the data. Putting in penalty shots seems challenging as well. Greens autorotate when putting which is pretty annoying.

You know it’s a bad sign when you can’t even get logged into the app the first time. I went through the initial part of putting in my info, name, email, etc. Then the app freezes and won’t let me tap “get started”. I got the email from golf metrics welcoming me. So I close out the app and go back in and log on. It takes me back to putting my information in, but when I get to email it says it is already in use. So I close the app and log back in. Same thing. Close the app and try to start like a new account, same thing. So I’m in an endless loop of not being able to even log in and get started. I wanted to try this app based on hearing about it on “Chasing Scratch”, but after this experience and seeing other terrible reviews since the app made an overhaul, I guess I won’t be using it.

I love the data. I think it is easy to understand, the suggestions for practice, different baselines is very cool. I don’t find the entry to be difficult at all. If you’re into doing the gps during the round it’s great and easy to get much more accurate numbers than what the scorecard may say. My issues have come with the app itself. Too many bugs and making it difficult to use. I completed a round and the Home Screen just never loaded…I had to get on my laptop once I got home to see anything. Sometimes the Home Screen loads now but 80% of the time it’s just a circle of death loading…wish the interface was working as expected because it’s a great app otherwise.
