The old version was better when it come to the play option in this app. It used to tell you a lot more as far as distance, dogleg, how far to a hazard, I was able to touch a spot on my screen to get that distance. You also could log in more stats, short, long,sand trap, ect. In my opinion this version is a step backwards.

Only good thing about the GPS on this app is you can rotate to the degree you want. Can't zoom in, just enlarges the image so the quality decreases. Can't get yardage for where you want to go, points are predetermined and always to the centre of the green so you basically have to guess the difference if the pin location is somewhere other than where the app is telling you the distance to. mScorecard is far superior for scorekeeping and GPS. Sorry GNC but you gotta up your game cuz you're sub par

Total disappointment. No scorecard due to covid we were excited to try the automatic scoring feature hidden in app settings (taking no gimmies btw). So... I suffered a full round with my phone in my pocket to test it keeping score. No score at all App just crash after crash after crash. Glad the old man hand wrote our scores as a backup!
