The new version is much easier for shot tracking. Not sure about the suggested clubs. That hopefully will get better as I enter more data. Haven't found where I can see average distance for each club. Been using the app longer now. Except when the GPS on my phone wasn't working (old phone problem) this app has helped this new player a lot. Love being able to look back and see how I did at a particular course. The only thing that it would be nice, is if you could look at your history at a particular course. Without scrolling through every round.

Thank you, Ilja, for the great review and feedback! We have received requests similar to yours regarding history at a particular course, so that may be something we can implement in future updates.

Used the free version for many years until I started playing more, then switched to the Plus version last year. Thinking about going to the Pro version for the drills... All in all, I like the app. I constantly check to see how accurate it is with my friends who have rangefinders. It is always within a yard or two. When the 'plays like' number is way different, its like a heads up that I should be thinking about something. It's usually right. Understand, it is a phone app not a caddy.

I love this app! I use it for almost every round. My only complaint is that it only allows you to track the putts for 1 person. Also, it would be great if you could somehow sort your previous rounds at a particular course. I always write my previous round on my scorecard to see if I'm playing better or worse. Update: Since the update, I have all these ads and the quality is really bad! I used to pay $15/year to be able to put in penalties and such....now they want $60/year! The changes are suck
