Well-spent $2
Slick Coach
Been using SkyDroid all summer. My course plus 6 others. Very accurate...always comparable to buddies’ $300 range-finders. So I figure I’ve saved my self at least $298. Go for it.
Major Problems w An Old Favorite

UPDATE: After writing my original review below, I decided to delete & reinstall the app on my phone; that made things worse! Several courses that I have played using SkyDroid are no longer available for download. I tried both on my iPhone and on my desktop computer at the SkyDroid web site; those courses have disappeared from SkyDroid. So, I decided to follow the suggestion to map a course using SkyDroid’s mapping tool; that failed to work on both my desktop computer and iPhone. I am waiting to hear back from the developer(s), but at this time, I’m very discouraged and disappointed. An app that used to be one of my favorites is now almost useless to me. I hope that all of my issues will be resolved, but unless that happens, I cannot recommend SkyDroid to anyone, nor can I give it more than one star. I have been using SkyDroid for several years, and until recently, had been thrilled with it. However, during the past couple of months, it has been giving very incorrect distances to the green for anywhere from one to four holes during an 18-hole round. This has occurred on at least three different courses. For example, my ball might be sitting near the 150 yard marker, yet SkyDroid will indicate 240 yards to the middle, 260 yards to center, and 280 to the back. I have completely quit the app, then relaunched it - no change. I have enabled SkyDroid to use my phone’s Location Service at all times - no improvement. Occasionally, if I wait a minute or two, and gently shake my phone, the yardage numbers will improve - but not always to the correct distance. I am very disappointed, because SkyDroid had been one of my favorite and most used apps. I love the simplicity of a basic yardage provider; I do not want or need the ability to keep my score or track the distance of shots with each club. To the creators of SkyDroid: please fix this issue; I love the concept of your app, and really hope to regain confidence in it.
Great App worth the money!

This app is great and has found every course I have played at and downloads them almost instantly. Only wish it had a scorecard attached to track scores.
I like it simple and it didn’t cost $200

I have been searching for a simple app and this one is perfect I don’t need the scorecard because it’s one of the reasons the battery goes fast. The gps and the hazard yardage is all I need with the right settings the battery doesn’t go less than 75%.
iPhone version is a piece of junk
xyzjom
Had droid version for years and loved it. Could keep score and pick color of tees and much more. The iPhone basically gives a yardage. No score or tee selection. Their default map picture is absolute crap but google maps looks good once it finally loads. Very disappointed with iPhone version. Not worth $2.
Best Yardage Keeper

This is the best app I have on my phone. The GPS works better than my friend’s expensive products and was a whole lot cheaper. I have loved this app for years, and it has definitely helped my golf game.
Don’t buy for an iPhone

Had this app for an Android and very pleased. No issues and any question was answered within days. Bought an iPhone and never even thought about it - immediately bought the iPhone version. Extremely disappointed. The ability to keep score on an iPhone is not there. Questioned it 2 or 3 times and no response. Granted it only cost $1.99, but the functions are not the same as the Android version. There are other options for a GPS golf app only for free. Definitely is not as advertised for a iPhone.
App used to work

App used to be accurate but now it takes 1-2 minutes for the app to find me. Don’t buy until they update app.
