Skydroid - Golf GPS Scorecard

The new update with audio alerts is AMAZING!!... I turn it on... and as soon as I put my bag down (4 sec delay), it shouts the distance to the green!!... I don't even need to take my phone out of my bag!! Beautiful!!... the only con, is it has some trouble transiting from one hole to the next. I put my bag down on the tee box and it reads out the distance to the previous hole. Maybe have it transfer over once it's inside 50 yrds? Or maybe have it track the tee boxes in the background and when it gets inside of 20 yrds, to transfer to the next hole... small annoyance, but other then that, fantastic app and I love the update!!

Update I received, last week no longer shows the front and back distances to the green, nor the front and back of anything else. It just shows one distance on all objects. App's Broken . . . Help. I'd rather have my old app back. SAMSUNG SM-G900V (Galaxy S5) Android Version 6.0.1

Been using this app for years... Its the best golf gps on android!! The only improvement It could use is a high res launcher Icon!

Very accurate, can run in background for ever when not needed for a few holes and when brought back up it doesn't crash like others I've used. Low battery usage too.

App is all updated. Thanks for the prompt responses

Love this app! Any chance for a smart watch app version for the Gear S3?

It's a great tool to assist me when I play golf competitively

Good yardages on all courses I have played

Been using this app for more than five years.......It great

This is a great app and I love that it features both small and large golf courses. My only complaint is that it doesn't display the par # for the current hole when on that display page, only the yardage from the tees. I would place it above the zoom button. In addition, I would also add the distance to where the hole doglegs left or right from the tee box. I recently played one course with a hole like this and it would have come in handy. In addition, it would also be neat if you had the capability to get the distance to a region on the hole by taping on the screen.

For the money this is by far the greatest app on the market. It is better than my handheld gps that I spent 300 dollars for at my local golf shop. Since I can use it on my phone or tablet there is never an issue with being able to see the yardage. I have been using it for years and I would be lost without it. I play a lot of mountain golf with blind shots where a range finder does not work.

Took it to the golf course last week, loaded the course layout in about 20 seconds. Checked distances with friend's Bushnell RF; never more than 2 yds. +/- all the way around (usually inside 1) and almost instant readings. Maybe beginner's luck, but so far, perfect. Vast array of courses, even major venues (fun just to look at). Love it! Highly recommended (running on G2).

Great app that doesn't use a lot of battery. The accuracy depends on how well the course is mapped and exactly what is pin pointed. In most cases the yardage is spot on. You can redo/map a course yourself on the website and it works dead on. This app is really like having your own caddie in the palm of your hand, love it!

First GPS I ever used on my first smartphone, a moto x. Used at Pebble Beach and 4 other courses in California as well as home in Wisconsin. All courses were already loaded and ready to go. GPS seemed accurate. Shot tracking is supposed to save but mine never did. Played 36 holes a day and never an issue with my phone battery. It would be nice to be able to keep score for your foursome not just yourself.

I have been using your app for a number of years now and have been delighted with it up until yesterday! I am usually able to complete a round and still have about 50% of my battery until yesterday when my Samsung Galaxy phone went dead after just 15 holes. I wondered if you have possibly made any changes that may have caused this.

I use this app every trip out! This is as accurate as any golf gps device / app. What sets this app apart from others is the stats it tracks (GIRs, fairways, shot shape, tee distance, putts and others.) and the zoom feature for any hole. With the zoom feature you can get yardage to any hazard. This app has saved me time, money and at least 4 shots. Download it!

This app works perfectly. Every course I've ever played has been available to download. Distance is consistently accurate within 1-2 yards of $200+ rangefinders. My only gripe is that it needs a facelift yesterday. It's just stuck in the Froyo and Gingerbread days. I'd actually happily pay for it again if it got a material design update.

Doesn't show hazards, layout of the hole. Just a picture of the flag stick. Zoom shows a satellite photo (I can get that from Google Earth). Maybe the scorecard is nice but I wouldn't know because I stopped using the app after the second hole.

Does exactly what it's supposed to do and does it well. I can't believe people complain about any part of the program. If one wants a lot of bells and whistles, spend $300+ for one the rangefinders at the golf shop.

This app has never let me down. Very accurate and easy to use. I have had many people ask me for distances over their own big money apps. that give them inaccurate info. I can play two full rounds on 1 battery charge. Samsung 4. I have been using this app. for a couple of years now and you should be using it too!

I've been using Skydroid for about 3 years and I love this app. Distances are accurate. Sometimes a little slow to display a hole or distance during a round, but very minor. I was thinking of buying a GPS for hundreds of dollars but decided to try this first. I'm so glad I did! I've recommended this app to many golfing buddies.

And another year goes by. I suppose ignoring this app is intentional, as to encourage us to buy another one of their apps. Plot Twist: it didn't work. Screw me once, shame on you. *4-11-16* No updates in three years. Talk about behind the times.. Don't bother with this one.

..for a few things. The online scorecard editor is terrible, it doesn't work. It's virtually impossible to input your courses pars if the app doesn't have it (which it normally doesn't) Also, it's another dollar on top of the purchase price if you want to sync your scorecards to their website - not much money but a sneaky charge non the less. Apart from this, the app scorecard is easy to use, plenty of statistics and the GPS is really quite accurate - almost as accurate as my dad's garmin GPS watch, which was £170 - so this app is awesome value. Currently 4 star until they sort the online editing and then it's 5 star for sure. Ps. I have tried Mobitee, Golfshot GPS, Golf Frontier and GolfPadGPS - this app beats them all.

I used it today and found it simple, helpful and accurate. However, when I hit the button to "Buy Extras" and save my scores to the internet, the next screen pops up, I hit the $1.00 purchase button, and I'm returned to the previous screen. How do I access this feature?

Lost two years of scores and sync still doesn't work. Reached out for support and they said I was out of luck. Pretty bummed. Update: new phone 16 months later, still does not sync. This is the most important part!!

I've been using this app for more than a year now. It has all the courses I played in. It provides GPS info without asking for monthly subscription. It also shows the distance to the hazards on the course.

I find the yardage readings on this app to be spot on and has really helped tidy up my approach shots from 150 yards and in. I've shown this app to people who have paid for sky caddies or similar devices and they can't believe the value for money. Could not recommended this app more

This is a great app. So many features. Love the score tracking. The overview of the holes is awesome. Also if your home course is scarcely marked you can go online and update/add to it. Really can't recommend this app enough. Goes hand in hand with my laser range finder

They were supposed to offer, for $1 extra, an option to synchronize with the skydroid website . I purchased the App for $1.99, but wasn't offered the opportunity to add the synchronization.

At last all my distances can be computed. Will the next edition let this 71 yr old hit it further? Perhaps not but at least I can easily recalibrate. Great App worth every one of the pennies I paid for it 3 years ago

OUTSTANDING!! By far the best. I was a little skeptical about it because most of the other golf gps apps don't work as advertised but you guys nailed it!

I've been using this for the past few years with great success but now am moving to another app because there is no android wear support. Please fix this and I'll come back

I always seem to have the most accurate distance when using this application with my S4. Keeping score is useful and I love this app's speed. I just wish there was an easier way to 1) add missing par scores when missing in course data (such as Starr Pass) 2) keep score for multiple players and 3) calculate handicaps (for betting). Finally, 4) I wish there was a "cartoon" version of maps (like the hardware GPSs provide) as the Google Earth photos are too slow and difficult to read for me.

Lovely app, needs strokes on golf curse holes and incorporate stableford points then I will give it 5 stars. GPS is very accurate with unlimited number of waypoints for hazards, water, bunkers etc. Currently you must map it yourself, but this is easy and I prefer to map my own courses. NEEDS Androidwear interface then it deserves 6 stars!

This app is great and worth the money but I hate how there isn't a handicap taker

SKYDROID is a great app!. I read Mr Godspeed's review and I feel I have to say that I disagree entirely with everything he says. I have no affiliation to either Golf Frontier or Skydroid BUT I have tried both and simply prefer Skydroid (both re their websites and their Android app) - simple mapping, and its as accurate as you want to map it - yes it's DIY and needs some abilities in mapping BUT you can correct ANY course where you find someone has made an error. Its not the app that'may be inaccurate but the contributors. I have always had email turn around from the developer in 24 hours for any other issues etc You can map anything you feel is relevant to playing any course - target points, all hazards etc. I even map the temporary winter greens on my course. I love this app. I'm not that interested in recording scores , distance tracking etc but as a GPS it's as accurate to within 1 yd of any high priced GPS I have used or my partners use.

I've been using this app for about a year now, the distances are dead on. I was playing at a course that had GPS on the carts. On a par 3 I pulled the club to what cart gps said. I overshot the green. I then checked my phone and it showed an 18 yard difference. the sky droid app was right, the cart GPS was wrong. Needless to say I used my app for the rest of the round, and never overshot a green again Love this app

Good app that provides accurate yardages. I like the ability to customize course markers on the web so you can get distances to layup points, hazards, etc. The only reason I don't use Skydroid all the time is that it only stores distance tracking information for your tee shot. All other tracked distances get erased which doesn't work when you're trying to dial in your numbers.

Bought to augment my golf buddy. Better than the free gps available. Clean interface w/o the annoying ads. Compared it to my golf buddy. On one hole the Skydroid got confused on the distance but a few holes later the Golf Buddy was wrong and I used the Skydroid. In general they were within a couple of yards.

Nothing wrong with this app. Great value. No problem thus far. Update whilst never noticing before for some reason the yardage now seems to be out by c10/15 yards. Not sure what has changed or why this is the case but very frustrating! Have downgraded to 2 stars until fixed.
