Really underrated!!! This one is better so far after using it on 2 different courses in the Ponte Vedra Beach area in Florida, where this “old Dutchman” lives, than most, if not all, range finders for Apple Watch (I have series 6) -which normally cost $40+ a year. Simple, accurate distances and direct on Watch with automatic moving to the next hole., after downloading of App on phone (14 Pro Max). That’s all I need and want, and I have used a number of others that are in comparison quite often disappointing and not even close. I stumbled upon it somehow en het is helaas wat onbekend. Bedankt en geweldig gedaan.

Can you make the Hole and Par info on the top left a little bigger and brighter. If you are a person with glasses/readers or older the small font is hard to see and then with sunglasses maybe a brighter color
@PieterOskam
@PieterOskam 2 года назад
Megan, I wish I could. Apple does not allow styling of title. The only solution would be to show the hole number and par separately on the screen. I will check If i can improve the color

Thanks for sharing this app. It looks great. it looks like it doesn’t keep score yet but I was curious why you would use reset shot distance maybe this will become clear once I actually use it at the course? Thanks.
@PieterOskam

Scoring is not yet included indeed. You use reset shot distance whenever you shot wasnt detected properly. The function of it is to track how far you hit with each club

I am excited to use it. Did you factor in slope for shots inside 200 yards? With 2meter accuracy of location, having slope factored in would be a great addition as the data is available. Just a thought, but it looks like a great app and I look forward to trying it on my new Apple Watch Ultra. Cheers.

Thanks for the video... and the nice app. I tried this app on an apple series 5 wifi model. Software likely up to date. Large font ok. zooming a bit sluggish on my 5 and the map square shrinks smaller than the watch screen when I really pan out. The app must only have the one hole "area" tuned in for graphics at a time. (note this is not a cellular watch unit, just wifi/bluetooth) The app tracking GPS worked well for my round yesterday, with hole advance. I didn't use the MAP feature there since I didn't know how to do that until this video. It does not have a map search function to load in maps of courses I will go to next week. i guess i have to be nearer the courses to download. Thant's okay if map downloads don't drag the watch battery down . I used about 35% on my 9 holes, Screen on full time, Bluetooth on (2.25hrs). My I-phone was in the bag for the round. Overall its simple and not hard to use when new to the app, so I didn't slow down other peoples play. Ill keep trying it out as it stands and see if the maps and pins work as easily next round. Much easier not using a phone on the course when in a hurry.

Hi Rock, The app is only tested on a apple watch 5 simulator but the simulator is reliable. The map function has a few glitches but I personally find it very usable. The map feature only works on an active internet connection and are not stored in memory. The map should not have an impact on battery life at all. My overall aim is to keep it very simple and intuitive. There is a phone app comming as well.

Tried this app yesterday. The center distance reading (center of the green) was displayed with only the first number. For example, if the center of the green was 250 yards away, the display would read 2.. Back and front of green readings were complete. Nothing i tried to do would change this. Ideas ?
@PieterOskam
@PieterOskam 2 года назад
Hi Kiwi, The distance gets truncated automatically, i should prevent that. I think you either have a lower screen resolution or you have set the text size larger than average. Older watches have a lower screen resolution. I've tested it for watch 5, 6 and 7

There are user interface problems with this app. A binary slider for yards/mtrs is confusing. There is a capital missing from 'download course'. Distances should contain the denominator in yards or meter. It's strong point is that it works independent of an iPhone though.
@PieterOskam
@PieterOskam 2 года назад
Hoi Dimitri Dank voor je feedback. In de volgende release zal de hoofdletter zichtbaar zijn. De setting voor yards zegt "Use meters instead of yards."Het kan anders, maar dat is niet de Apple standaard. Bedoel je met Denominator een punt of komma teken voor duizendtallen?
@dimitriaerden1024
@dimitriaerden1024 2 года назад
Hallo Pieter. - Door 'yards' links, en 'meters' rechts van de slider te zetten zou je in een oogopslag zien wat die slider doet. Op dit moment moet je begrijpend een zin lezen, wat een inspanning vergt - De cijfers die de afstand weergeven zijn uitgedrukt in yards of meter, naargelang de instelling. Maar niet iedereen weet of herinnert zich hoe de app ingesteld is. Daarom zou ik naast de cijfers een aanduiding zetten: 'yrds' of 'm' Veel succes met de verdere ontwikkeling.

Does the iPhone need to be on and within Bluetooth range of the watch for this to work?
@PieterOskam
@PieterOskam 2 года назад
Hi Peter, No, not necessary. The watch is independent from the phone. Only for a course download you need the Internet Connection from your phone. Once a course is downloaded it can be accessed without a phone. The current map features does require a phone connection but I will make something that the maps are stored permanently as well.
