VPAR Golf GPS, Scoring & Stats 4+

I’ve had the app for well over a year and had nothing but positive things to say... I’ve used the app to successfully track my scores and handicap - it’s the only app I use for golf and it’s always served me well.

However I have noticed a couple of glitches over the weekend: 1) if I have a new follower the app crashes when I look to see their profile, and 2) my handicap has plummeted by 12 shots from 17 down to 4.8 (!!) after a decent round of 37 points at the weekend! I have messaged customer services for help so hope it can be fixed. Otherwise 5 stars app easily!

Hi Iniesta's Better Twin :-), thanks for the review, glad you like the app! With your point 1, it looks like you are on an older version (5.5.74) of the app , 5.5.76 is now available, and should have fixed this issue. If not do let the team know - support@vpar.com. Sorry to hear you had an issue with your handicap after the last round. It sounds like the team are already on it, but feel free to chase them up if you haven't heard anything in 24hrs!

Having tried out a number of similar apps to Vpar I have to say this is by far and away the best option out there.

The free version isn’t littered with ads like some others, the design is clean, everything is nice and simple to find and the GPS is pretty much perfect. To the point I use it around my home course.

Match and round set up is super simple and as a higher handicapper getting back into golf the ability to count putts, GIR and FIR and having a running record of scores is amazing.

The only criticism of the app I’d have is not being able to flick into GPS from the scoreboard as their in different parts of the app, but that’s just pure laziness as it’s only 3 clicks away.

Myself and friends play a few tournaments every year and it’s always handy to have a live Leaderboard you can check in on as you play. The scoreboard feature didn’t have the functionality we wanted for our latest rounds, but one email to the support team and they built a custom tournament for us. They even waited on our round day one to finish to re-org the playing groups for us as they changed based on score.

I can’t speak highly enough of the team at VPar and their product. Don’t consider using anything else, this is the app you need.

Hi Danny, thanks for your review!

I'm please to say that you can actually access the GPS from the scorecard page - just click on the hole number to bring up the GPS for that hole, you can then close the GPS screen down when ready to enter the next score.

Do contact the team if you have any other questions and they'll be happy to help.

Been using Vpar for a while now and I can find it frustrating to use, as far as I can see there no way to edit or delete your round very annoying. Only found a button to delete from feed but that doesn’t do anything. Quite accurate calculating handicaps, and found the SI to be accurate. Also app never connects to Iwatch so can’t use that to see yardages etc, contacted VPAR about this and awaiting a reply. Adverts annoying too and need to pay a fiver a month to become advert free. Shame because it is really good at hcap calculations and like I say only golf app that has all the SI of the holes correct that I have used, so it works out stableford points right. I need to use it on my Iwatch though so if this doesn’t work will have to delete app.

Latest update seems to connect to Iwatch but now receives a message saying you need premium to be able to see yardages on Iwatch, this wasn’t required before the update so why now?

Hi Drew, thanks for your review.

If the game hasn't finished and hasn't been submitted yet you can swipe left on the round (from the list within the play button) and hit the ‘delete’ option. Be careful not to delete rounds you want to keep as they cannot be retrieved once deleted.

If the game has finished, and has been submitted there is a restriction on being able to delete rounds. This is for two primary reasons. Firstly, there may be other players in the round that it will also affect, and secondly as it may skew your handicap calculation as well as your stats and achievements.

If you need a game edited or deleted that you have submitted let us know - support@vpar.com - and we'll be able to help. We can also update any tee data that you have noticed isn't accurate.

*Updated - Thanks for your input re the watch, our version 2 is pending Apple's approval and will hopefully be in the store very soon. If you speak to the team they'll be able to give you access now.
