Hole19: Golf GPS Range Finder Reviews

Had to uninstall

Hijacks Apple Watch even if you close app on the phone.

I’ve been using this app for quite some time. I just updated my Apple Watch to the most recent version, and I have a new iPhone, and this app was also updated on my phone. Today, the score entry was a little glitchy, but it was OK. Still need to do some debugging, As it sometimes gets back to the last hole. However, as someone else just said, my watch is hijacked by this app, Even when I’ve stopped playing and close out the app on my phone. The watch seems to always show the whole 19 app. Need to fix this. Thanks.

Best Golf App

Hole 19 is hands down my favorite golf app. Sweet!

Good but some issues exist

INTP always thinking

It is one of the better gps systems I’ve tried. I will suggest trying it. Here are my issues: 1) It can be slow at times. But this has only been noticeable not annoying. 2) It is almost always glitchie on launching at a course and getting connected to my watch. But it has always worked in time for my first tee shot. 3) This one is very annoying - at least one time during every round (except one noted below) I am not able to enter a score to go on to the next hole. It might be related to push notifications. Last round I activated privacy mode and was not bother by this problem. 4) Another annoying one is touch responsiveness on both the iWatch and the phone. Why is a mystery that needs solving. Scoring on the watch is the most noticeable. This is really annoying. Items 3 and 4 are a big deal in my mind. If these are fixed my rating would go to 4 or 5 stars. For now I am thinking of going back to my old Garmin unit that is not buggy at all.

Improved feature

I have used several apps and have not changed since finding this one 3 yrs ago. Does everything I need it to and always works well. My two pieces of feedback are these: 1) I admit I'm ashamed that I want this however, if you can chose to add penalties while keeping score you should have a summary in the statistics area. 2) I like the idea of having the ability to choose different scoring games but think it would be cool for there to be more option and how to play them. Often my golf buddy's and I are wanting to play a different game but alway settle on skins because we don't know where to look. Thanks for the great app and keep making improvements.

iPhone X Compatibility

Get with it Hole 19, update to be compatible with the iPhone X. Also, add back the feature that tells you how much over/u see par you are on the main screen

Pleasantly surprised

Let me first say that all the golf analytics and stats are neat and nice to haves, but my main reason for a golf app is the GPS function. But trying to find a suitable (and simple) golf GPS app for the Apple Watch can be quite a task, especially if you don't need all the bells and whistles, and don’t want to get tied up with fees for stuff you really don’t want or need. After seemingly endless searching on the App Store and the Web, and watching outdated You Tube videos, I found Hole 19. The basic GPS function that I want is simple and easy to use on this app. It’s also free, and doesn’t interrupt your game with annoying ads to get the “Pro” edition. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it has scoring, number of putts and lots of other analytics like driving accuracy, GIR, recovery performance. Most of the apps that have this are expensive and require fees to view this data, but not this one. The app immediately identified my course. I measured its accuracy alongside my Garmin device and the yardages were pretty similar, with maybe a few yards difference. (Some of the other, more popular apps that I tried were off by as much as 20 yards!) And, it didn’t crash during my round, something that frequently occurred with those other, costly apps. So, I found a keeper and companion for my first Apple Watch! I rarely write app reviews, but this one deserved my time and attention. Love its simplicity, ease of use, accuracy and overall performance.

Now doesn't work
