Birdie

Doesn't even have one local course on its server. thats $18 bucks down the drain. DO NOT BUY!

Because none of the reviews made sense and listed the pros & cons of the different app's, I bought them all. This one is perfect for my need as I am not that interested in detailed statistics, but want to keep track of the stableford points and/or the skins and I usually keep scores for the whole flight . My brother, is more interested in detailed personal statistics so he bought TeeShot (based on my recommendation and) and is happy with it. Adding new courses in Birdie is easy enough through their on-lie course editor (this feature is better in TeeShot, but TeeShot does not support the metric system). Sending the scorecard via email works brilliantly and is appreciated by your fellow golfers (provided their round went well). In summary, Birdie is well worth its price, its is quick and easy to use and frees up more time to concentrate on the game. TeeShot is good if you want personal data, but easily makes you a very boring companion on the course. All the other apps are well behind these two.

Very easy to use after you go through the pain of setting it up. For $19 I would have liked to see some sort of stat tracking.... I can't seem to be able to get an account to submit my course. It's pretty harsh that I have to enter hole information for each round as well...

App is a bit pricey but works very well. Integrates with an official USGA handicap index service which I need to play in tournments.

Bought a few scoring apps and ended up using Birdie the most. An update that started at par instead of zero on each hole was welcome. For all you lazy whiners that your course is not listed, like me, just add it so everyone will benefit.<br/><br/>This works better fir foursomes, unlike other apps that are geared for single player scoring. Love emailing everyone's score after the round.<br/><br/>Yes the online course tool to enter unknown courses takes some time and could be better, but it's not riddled with flash and just works.

I have used this software several times during rounds of golf and have found it easy and enjoyable to use. I have also entered course data by computer for my home course and have been pleased that the course information was added quickly. One thing missing that needs to be added is the accommulative total compared to par as you play a round of golf. That is for instance, after three holes I am two over par or after eight holes Jim is one under par. This is a number that is widely reported as you watch golf tournaments on TV and is of interest to many golfers. It is surprising that this is missing with all the other calculated statistics reported in this software. In any case, overall I enjoy tracking my score with this software and I recommend it.

Folks, stop writing bad reviews if you're not even getting what this Application does. This is NOT a game. This is a Golf Scorecard Application with some realy nifty features. I am tracking all my rounds with Birdie and it works like a charm. Especially nifty is the built in range finder which can show you the distance to the pin (with no use of GPS so it is allowed to use in tournaments too). I full heartedly recommend this.

This isn't really a five-star app, but I'm trying to counteract the idiots that reviewed the app without using it. Some of them apparently didn't understand that this isn't a game. It's a solid little golf-scoring app. I've paid for and tried two others in the $20 price range, and one didn't keep score for everyone in my foursome, and the other crashed so frequently as to render it useless. I wish I could enter golf courses on the phone and not have them subject to review. I find the web site &quot;course editor&quot; a little cumbersome. I also wish that you weren't restricted to a half dozen tee colors. I also wish there was an alternative score card with less data displayed and oriented in the traditional horizontal manner. I don't understand the complaints about price. Yes, I'd be excited if there was a good free app, but It was worth $20 to me. I paid hundreds for the phone, a thousand a year in cell service, plus the cost of my golf clubs and greens fees. $20 for a convenience in keeping score is pretty negligible compared to all that. If you're looking for a decent golf scoring app, this seems to be the one.
