Best golf iphone app

[JeffB]

Got a new shiny iphone and wondering what sweet apps are good for golf. What apps do you guys have and what features do you like?

[DaSportsGuy]

I've got the GolfLogix app. It's a GPS and you can track all your stats, scores, club yardages, etc. I love it.

[pingizzle]

Golfshot has been fantastic for me.

[BParis]

GolfShot as a GPS
V1 for swing analysis
USGA Rules of Golf
Golfnow.com

[masamitsu]

GolfShot and USGA Rules are a must

[Chazz]

Golfshot.

[XFelon]

Golfshot - Drains the crap outta your phone though

[Tate]

Golfshot is great....I run Golfshot and Pandora and usually have about 35% battery after the round.

Mine is not too bad. I will burn through 40% or so. Definitely have to make sure it is charged before the round.

[teeituphigh]

iping, V1 golf, Rules of Golf, SG Mobile (for stats) However, ive just downloaded GolfLogic and it seems the business!!!

[CaddiesFault]

iping and rules

[statesoccer9]

golfshot is the best $30 ive spent

[JeffB]

Does golfshot work well in 3G areas as well? I read a couple reviews and it seems like sometimes people lose connection. Are you guys in 4G areas or 3G areas?

[DrCRHop]

I only use 3G and have never had a problem with GolfShot.

Same here, ~40%. But I have it fully charged and turn off any "push" notifications so that my phone is not constantly searching for my emails. That helps significantly...although when turn it back on at the end of the round there is a flood of emails...oh, well, the round was undisturbed and that's what is really important.

Nothing wrong with SkyDroid for only $1.99 - used it on my Fla. trip and it was within 5 yards on every hole. Battery life is good too.

Hmmm, interesting. I have never had a battery drain issue with Golfshot. There were times I would go out with 60% battery and still have about 25%-20% battery life after a round. In regards to single loss, nope i think that would be your carrier issue and has nothing to do with the app.

GolfLogix has been pretty good I use a Skycaddie now though, but still use the Golflogix for courses Skycaddie doesn't have and also use it track stats. Hank Haney app for Swing Analysis it seems to do pretty good. IPing app is really cool for putting.

[theebdk]

ping app, but have to borrow wife's phone. I am on the droid.

[cbehan]

I've used all of the iPhone GPS apps. GolfLogix is still the leader for me.

[M4RSH]

Swing Plane for swing analysis
iPing for putting .....A MUST.
Golfshot GPS
Aimpoint for use on putting green
And Phil Mickelsons short game secrets another must app.

[jtoker1369]

golfshots is probably the most used app on my phone. They recently added some features to allow you to track every shot, enter the club used and it will calculate your averages for you. Allows you to enter your bag setup and stats for rounds.

I am going to try a swing analysis app next, i read someone above said the V1 is good?

[jackstraw20]

I was a GolfLogix guy, but just switched to the Swing-by-Swing Golf GPS. They're similar, but SbS uses satellite imagery and is a little easier to use, in my opinion.

[The Golfing Boy]

The GolfLogix seems fine to me and does not drain the battery as easily as Golfshot has drained mine.

[Rudd]

GolfLogix. Does not drain battery much at all. Very accurate distances, and tracks my terrible putting outcomes too.

[FiveSixAce]

Mobitee

[KevinLi]

Normally I use Golfshot for my scores, but for my last round I have used Gamebook.

Gamebook is very simple to use and I had also done some side games with my golf mate.
They say that gamebook can also manage a tournament and show all the scores real time on screen (with internet connection of course).


Does anyone have any experience with organizing tournaments with gamebook?

[IA_Golfer]

2nd That for SkyDroid(Iphone and Android markets) best $2 you'll probably ever spend on golf.

[alb]

Has anyone tried Airvue? Not much reviews, but looks good.
Thanks in advance

[wn1998]

Hey guys, are there any "Free Version" golf gps apps that are worth having or should I bite the bullet and pay the $20-30 for golfshot or golflogix? I know the golfshot is a one time fee whereas the Golf Logix is a "yearly" subscription.
