Latest reviews of Golfscape GPS Rangefinder app for iPhone and iPad
Great idea, but you cant see much when its sunny outside. Too much glare. Not worth it!
I liked the idea, but it just was not practical. In the sun its very difficult to make out course image, so your just left with a bunch of numbers on the screen. I think overlaying distances on a 2D view such as in GolfShots would be much better. Also being able to integrate this with GolfShots for keeping score (for those that have bought it) would help rather that having to switch between apps for score and distances.
Tried to use this today and its hard to see in the sun and on some holes was a blank screen with numbers on it and doesnt keep score and cant add other players. Also you feel like a dumby holding this up like a camera to point it at the hole and could never get a strong compass reading. Stick with the Golfshot gps its awesome.
The idea is great but much work needs to be done. First, you cant see the image into the sun at all. Second, the compass error appears and cant seen to get a signal despite being in clear sky view. Third, as mentioned by a pervious user, it a pain having to go between to two programs Golfshot and Golfscape. Ideally they should be inter-graded into one. Golfshot works perfectly!!
It doesnt work! Can someone please tell me who I can contact to get a refund.
