VPAR Golf GPS & Scorecard 4+

Dynamic Pinned Distance

As of now, the circle you can drag around to find distances is pinned to the flag and the tee box. Instead of pinning to the tee box, is there any way to pin to your current location? That way you can measure distances to different spots on the hole from your current location. EXAMPLE: If I’m hitting my approach and I want to know the distance to a bunker in front of the green, I want to know that distance from my current location, not from the tee box. Thanks!

Hi justsomeguy1004 - thanks for the review!

Great feedback. We do have a tool on our GPS screens that allows you to pin-point a spot on any hole from your exact location, allowing you to plan your next shot accurately.

All you need to-do is use the 'Locate Me' toggle on the bottom right of the GPS screen, when you are on the hole. This will allow you to toggle between your location and the tee. For more info please contact support@vpar.com

Watch App

I got this app for the Apple Watch GPS compatibility. I had trouble getting the watch to pick up the round that I started on my phone. Once I did get it started, it displayed accurate “front, middle and back” yardages. The major issue I had, however, was that changing the hole you are on is done with the Digital Crown and the hole kept switching anytime I moved my hand. I had to scroll to the correct hole everytime I took a shot. The hole change should be done with a swipe or an arrow and not with the crown so that it doesn’t change when you do not want it to. This was annoying enough that I don’t want to use the app anymore. If not using the Watch, the phone app is fine.

Hi Nick, thanks for taking the time to leave such an informative review, very much appreciated. It is interesting to hear your view on the Digital Crown especially, as this is the Apple recommended way to scroll. We are just about to release version two of our Apple Watch app, which is much improved and includes the ability to score via the watch as well. If you are interested in joining the Beta version for this do contact the team - support@vpar.com.

Awesome app for golf buddies trip

We used VPAR for 5 round stableford for golf buddies trip. The leaderboard updating every hole made it fun to track. We had an issue with a handicap calc and someone at VPAR responded via email and fixed the issue immediately. The customer service was incredible. This is a very slick golf app and will be using it again for any other trips or tournaments.
