Golf GPS - IntelliGolf Premium for Android
No menu,no editing,not sure what the deal is. Bought premium,doesn't feel like it
Just upgraded to Android Marshmallow and now cannot access the menu so program is unusable. **Found it, press and hold the "recent" key for the menu. Works now.**
Worked very fine on my SG4 but now on the SG6 Edge no sync with desktop. Maybe about time for an updated version. Last one is already 2 years old. Does Intelligolf still exist?
I loved this app on my Treo. It's less intuitive on the Android. The worst thing it's that shot tracking defaults to the next shot on the list, so if you change the drop down to "Approach" it erases the yardage. Yikes. Secondly, users have to map courses and update course data, which is fine, but you have to buy the desktop companion to do so, unless you want to laboriously do it on your phone. You can survey a course while playing, but you feel like an idiot, and it's a bit disrespectful.
UPDATE The problem with the Samsung S7 and Marshmallow is resolved. Long press the bottom right soft key to get the menu to add players, sync etc. It's too bad the support group won't answer emails and I had resort to a Play review to get their attention. Anyway, it now works and is still a great golf scoring app. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I've used intelligolf since it first came out in 1997 on the Palm platform. Upgraded to Blackberry then Android. Used to love it. Unfortunately, support for this application has apparently stopped. Notice the last update date. Now I upgraded my smartphone to Samsung SG7. THIS APP IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH MARSHMALLOW!. The softkey on the bottom left used to enable you to sync, add players, etc. Now it doesn't work. NO WAY TO ADD PLAYERS AND COURSED. NO WAY TO SYNC YOUR ROUND. PLEASE get your programmers to work on this app It used to be terrific. Now it's junk.
total effin ripoff. GPS NOT available for a vast majority of courses, and NO courses have GPS survey after 2011 in Illinois. Cannot add survey unless you purchase Desktop version for additional $19.99. Absolute garbage. ZERO stars. back to Skydroid.
Not once have I been able to use this and the UI is terrible. Not easy to navigate. DO NOT BUY!
Paid for this App and it sometimes works then starts failing stating it's not licensed. Sort it out.

I used Intelligolf on my PDA and waited a long, long time to get it for my Galaxy Note. I am very disappointed in it's quality. I've been unable to change my handicap despite multiple tries. I can't get a well known golf course to download. I loaded several different games to play with friends and only one of them took. This was only apparent after beginning the round. Now I can't end the round to try to start a new round. For the $10 that I paid I didn't receive anything like what I had on the PDA. It took them a long time to get it for the Android phones, and, at least for the Note, it is not ready. I'd like my money back but I doubt that that will happen. Oh, yeah, I also updated and tried all again and finished with the same lousy results. About two years later and I've used it on my Samsung S5. Not particularly intuitive, but works fine. Unfortunately, these guys are impossible to contact. I purchased the edition for my desktop. I paid my money and have received no acknowledgement. I did get a file to wanted to download into my computer, but it did not appear to be from Intelligolf and I was warned it could be malicious. Once again Intelligolf has poor support
Very happy with the updates done on this software, and the sync capabilities to your computer and phone. I use it exclusively over any other golf app for my phone.
BEST golf app! 5 Stars, 6 Stars if I could... Their NEW Aerial Hole View display is AWESOME w/ GPS distances. Round set-up is much easier withdrawal their improved UI. IntelliGolf's unique Wi-Fi sync software works flawlessly with their optional Birdie edition desktop "companion" software. Plus, there's a Birdie "Special" in the product now. IntelliGolf includes 35 popular wagering games, tracks shots for every club, keeps scores and stats for up to 5 golfers per round.
First I tried to load a course I am playing today. Rock Creek in PA. Couldn't find it. Several free apps have no trouble. So I searched for Kimaquan, the name of the course 8 years ago. It found it but it had no GPS layout. So, I tried to quit the round and it won't let me. Going back to Free Caddy.
This android version is sorely lacking any intelligent front-end UI. Navigating the initial screens are by Braille method only. No ability to preview courses, ackward exit from a round, not intuitive in the least, no help options. Having said that, once into the round, it performs well and I have the premium version. I wish I could recommend this version but there are better free versions and if you need to get a premium version, do shop around before buying this version.

Fantastic application that is packed full of features that can enhance your golf game. Amazing integration with the desktop client for even greater statistical analysis and reporting. Product is maintained and supported on a regular basis. I will agree with some reviews on the subject of the UI in that it could use a little more attention, perhaps the devs could get some tips and ideas from ZoneWalker's aCar or NextApp's File Explorer which are pure eye candy. All in all a wonderful golf app, thank you.

Better than the rest for cheaper
I used to use the BlackBerry version and this version is better.
Just updated to the new version. Wow! satellite hole graphics are working great on my S4. Really helps me visualize the course now! Love it!
This new version is great. Used it on the golf course today, and with the addition of fly-over satellite views, I was better able to plan my shots. I think it help me win a few holes ($$$) from my buddies! No other product keeps track of sidegames like this product. Great job guys -- can wait to see what you come up with during the off season. Intelligolf is back in a big way...

I was originally disappointed with the initial Android release. The latest release is a significant improvement. I still have issues with the quality of the course library, but I have been assured that this aspect is being addressed.
I initially gave this app a bad review. I was contacted by the developer and learned that the handheld app (Android) needed to be paired with the desktop software in order to track rounds, shots and stats. This app is much different from previous versions on other platforms - so there is a learning curve. The desktop s/w is the same and very user friendly. My advice is to read the FAQ and ensure you understand how to enter shots using the Android app. It's quite easy once you learn. The biggest reason for my revised 5-star rating is the excellent Customer Service I received to help reduce the learning curve. I can now highly recommend the product.
I've (again) upgraded my review since the version upgrade and the fact that Intelligolf have contacted me personally about some of the issues. I am happy to report that most of the work that I felt needed to be done has now been accomplished to my satisfaction and am happy to give a 5 star rating. I appreciate that the new OS will necessarily mean a different "look and feel" so I know that I cannot expect to have the same interface that I was used to with the Windows Mobile platform. I would still like to be able to see a scorecard that has all the golfers scores on the same page with the ability to switch between types of scoring eg Gross Score or Stableford. Another feature I would like added would be to have the option of a satellite view for gauging distances between obstacles - would save me from having to multitask with GPS Rangefinder as I do now (which multitasking causes the odd Intelligolf crash) - But Well Done team!
It is not whatt i aspected. To less courses with gps option available.
Amazing!!! Now I am confident that this is the best golf app you can get. They are concern with your issues and work on it immediately to resolve it. Thank you and I highly recommend to all golfers. I am changing the rating to 5 stars.
Like others, have been using on older devices, and delighted its on Android. No one does sidegames like Intelligolf.
I haven't had the chance to use it on a golf course, but it seems to work like the Windows CE version.
I have been using Intelligolf since my Windows PDA. Been 2+years since I have been able to use it and have missed being able to keep accurate stats and more importantly keep track of sidegames. there just isn't any other product on the market with this capability. Not sure how well the GPS will work as it will be a couple of months until the snow melts.
Very disappointed as I've had earlier platform versions. The on course interface needs a lot of work and improvement. I will assume this is forth coming.
No permite la actualización de los campos desde el teléfono.
I used this app on my old palm pda years ago and really missed the looooooong break while it was upgraded to android. I am very pleased with the outcome all the old functionality that I used before is there and in the same easy to use manner. This is a great way to analyse what is really happening in your golf round as opposed to the one or two good / bad shots that stick in your mind.
It's been a while coming, I used IG on my Palm devices and now Android. This is well worth the wait, now I am especially looking forward to summer and some great rounds if golf with IG. Don't wait on this....download it now. No regrets.

It OK, but how do you map courses. It used to be possible I am sure.
