Anyone use Golf logix I phone 4 application? how is it?

[Wilster]

There is a free version in the aps store

[chipandput]

I know.

I joined today and even upgrade to champion's membership for 20$ a year in promotion but i didn't get the chance to try it yet with that f%%*&%*% rain .

Just wanted to know if someone had an idea of how good it is.

[OutOfTheRough]

i used it for just tracking stats and scoring and its pretty good, but there is also golfcard pro which is another good one, but costs a little bit. A decent free one that I found is called Golf Shot and it does that stats thing and everything as well.

[rezadue]

I used to use golf card pro but switched over to OOBGolf. It is a good free app for tracking stats.

[gregnol]

i use a free one called yardage, you get one free course. not much for keeping track of your score/stats.

[Wilster]

I downloaded to golfshot ap ($30) and i'm impressed with the program so far . Easy to use and pretty acurate by all accounts.
The stats however are showing me some stuff that i'd rather forget

[chipandput]

Maybe a stupid quesion but i was told that there is no stupid question....so.

Does golflogix application on IPhone eats your megabytes?

[DennisA]

Short answer 'No'.

It only requires a little bit of data to download the Google map satellite imagery to your phone, which is not much. If you were concerned about it using too much data (which it doesn't) just download the satellite imagery to your phone via wi-fi before you go play. After that it does not use data while you play.

Happy thursday.

Ho! I forgot to say that part of my happiness was my 78 with birdies at 16th and 17th

I am using Golfshot GPS and been compared with other's GPS equipments, and this app is pretty accurate. I compared this with other iPhone's free app (Golf Logics) and this Golfshot GPS was lot more accurate. This one you have to pay or free on jailbroken iPhones....
This app also keeps all your scores with detailed rounding memos.

I just downloaded golf caddy for my BB Torch, I imagine it's also on the iphone, a free app. Will let yas know how it is.

Check out the OOBgolf app it works with there website and has some pretty sweet features along with the GPS, including real time scoring up load so your friends can follow your round live!

well i can get to this screen but I don't know how to enter a score, stats, etc? nothing seems to activate from my touch screen (iphone4)

[Gropper]

Did you pick a course?

[Gropper]

Oh you might have to sign up for an account on OOB its free, there are some other options you can choose. both Reza and I do the addict acount $15 and give you alot of options.

[jeffc]

ya man, that screen grab is from Stonebridge....hole 1. and I did sign up for an account, did that first thing when I logged onto the app....according to their site, I should be able to do this much with the basic membership.

[Gropper]

true, maybe try closing the app completely and then relaunching it. Never seen it do that before.

[jeffc]

I actually shut the phone down and relaunched the app and its working. Stupid software.

[sebber]

I've been using Golf LOgix for a while now and I like it. It's free, the yardages are decent and I like the way they send you the scorecard via e-mail after each round with all the stats, this way it's easy to save them in an e-mail folder!

[chipandput]

For 19.99$ a year you have the champion's membership application . You can't get something better.

[sillywilly]

I've used droid golf, golfcard, golfshots, golflogix (free) and I found that droid golf had a lot of the courses the others didnt and it was very accurate

[Liddy]

Doesn't the phone use date to get the ranges? I'm confused b/c I think it does use alot of data! So, if I pull up the course on golf logix before I go to the actual course at home with wi-fi then it won't use any data while I'm there pulling up my ranges? thanx

[yjustin]

As I know, Should not be using lots of data

[DennisA]

Most smart phones today use what they call assisted GPS (A-GPS), meaning they have a GPS chip inside them to get position fix of the phone with the assistance of cell tower triangulation (this is how we get the ranges with Golfshot, Golf Logix, etc). They use the cell tower triangulation for assistance because the GPS chip inside a smart phone is not a dedicated GPS unit and thereby is not as accurate. When your smart phone is on it is always 'talking with' roaming cell towers without using data per say and thus not using data to obtain the assistance through triangulation. Therefore, you are not using data while on the course if you download the maps beforehand via wi-fi. Also, as I said earlier in this thread, downloading the maps through your data plan of you cell phone incurs very little data usage anyways. Nothing to worry about!

It's not a GPS app but another app I have been using is Gamebook (only available on the iPhone I think). It's a live leaderboard. If you golf with large groups of friends, it's great. As scores get entered into the phone, it provides a real-time, handicap adjusted leaderboard.

I've used it three times. It works flawlessly. For $1.99, you can't go wrong.
