Golf GPS - FreeCaddie Reviews

by GOLFER Hacks

Was nice to see FreeCaddie upgrade…. Has always been a nice easy and very accurate …but with new upgrade it has become useless yardages are WAY OFF by 50 to 100 yards 😕…. Time to look for a different APP option

Once again a kid on a Schwinn Bike out of college who has zero idea of how to play golf decided he could make GolfGPSFreeCaddie better. EPIC FAILURE!!!!! Used this for years and paid for the premium and it was well with it…then. Now…completely unusable!! Well done. Never change a good thing…it never works.

I’ve been using and loving GolfGPSFreeCaddie for years, even paid for the upgraded version. Now they’ve ruined it! If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! Why would you take a great thing and turn it to $h^t? Now I want my money back 😡

I loved GolfGPSFreeCaddie I paid for the pro version and I’ve used it for a few years it’s been great. The new upgrade is horrible and impossible to use inaccurate total piece of junk. What were they thinking?

by Cfd32

I don’t like the changes, most golfers just want know the distance of the next shot. The new set up is terrible and the settings keep changing no matter how I set them. Keep it simple. Like the old app settings better. I’m thinking about looking for a new golf app.

Previous version I paid for was bad , this version is much worst. So buggy, ie can’t move to next hole with gps only mode. Work around is to use score mode. Anther issue is Default putts should be 2, with out having to specify ever hole, not 1 or zero putts as it is now.

Can’t log in. Get invalid parameter message. Received message from customer support that new owner is rebuilding from ground up. Course creator won’t be available. We don’t need another GolfLogix clone. Please make legacy app available. Listen to your user base. Thank you.

I have used and loved GolfGPSFreeCaddie for years. Yesterday I installed the “upgrade”. What the heck? Now I need a login I’d? No more distance to hazards and doglegs? It does have satellite views. Why? Suddenly the yardage goes off by 175 yard halfway up the fairway? GolfGPSFreeCaddie has gone from great to useless.

by Si Farm

I would love to know why you guys decided to completely change GolfGPSFreeCaddie. I’ve used this for years and it worked so well. It now logs you out half way through a round. The GPS is terrible. I wish you had just left it alone. Time to find a new GPS app

by Tomw4539

App has been great for 5+ years, but think they have not kept up with IOS updates (version is two years old). Can no longer find/download courses. Emailed support with no reply. Sad.

When I first downloaded GolfGPSFreeCaddie it was great. I even purchased the upgrade. The GPS was accurate and I actually enjoyed the audio feature most of all. The newest version is not GolfGPSFreeCaddie I Purchased. It is now basically useless to me. The graphics you show in GolfGPSFreeCaddie Store is no longer the graphics or interface that is the actual working app. You basically took a big swing and struck out.

First, the GPS numbers are all over the place! One minute I’m 257 yards and then I’m 14,000 yards! Also miss the voice yardage from the old plan. Looking for a new app.

I liked the old version but when had to install on my new phone I do not like it.

by Steweditup

When you changed GolfGPSFreeCaddie you destroyed a very good, easy to use app that gave very clear distances. I do not care for the split distances it now shows and I cannot move the center circle to find distances to anything

by Lameallday

App works great on the course. However it requests access to location services "always" without the selection to use when not using GolfGPSFreeCaddie . Severe battery drain when not using GolfGPSFreeCaddie . What the heck are the developers tracking in the background?

by Golf116

I liked GolfGPSFreeCaddie better before the updated version. It is so slow to respond to the touch screen selections now, so requires multiple taps. And the settings I saved such as displaying temp in Fahrenheit and distance in yards has never actually saved despite trying many times. I must go in manually each time to change distance from meters to yards. I wouldn’t consider this an upgrade.

by Irwin101

My screen brightness slowly diminishes during 18 holes. Also the score card stops recording at hole 16 or 17. I have to shut done app and restart to finish course. How do I fix this problem?
Thanks

This is the best Golf GPS app! Don’t listen to the haters.

I have the pro version and love the views, ability to zoom in on targets, keep score for the entire group, etc.

If you stick with the free version you can still get front middle back, hazards, scoring, etc.

I like how simple it is compared to all the others, and I’ve tried many. GolfLogix is an old expensive pig of a program. Grint and 18 birdies are great but considerably more expensive and obsessed with being like InstaFaceTweetChat. I don’t need or want my golf gps to be a social networking platform. Just give me accurate distances and everything else is a bonus.

Bottom line. If you’re 16 and want to post pictures of your swing and get comments from others on every shot then go somewhere else; when you grow up, you’ll use this.

I love GolfGPSFreeCaddie. Only wish it had Apple Watch support. I use it every round. People will shoot the distance with a range finder, GolfGPSFreeCaddie is always spot on with those. Five stars no question

I have been using GolfGPSFreeCaddie. for at least 10 years. I have played many different courses all over US .. I have to give it a 5 star all the way. Learn to use the free app. before writing a bad review. Thank You, Hitm Straight.

by Kane's Dad

5 Stars and Love(d) GolfGPSFreeCaddie right up until yesterday when free version nor the “paid” version failed to load for morning round. Have had app past 2 years. Any help/reason as to why app suddenly stopped working would be great!

by Dorkmid

Whats with GolfGPSFreeCaddie are you guys closed on Saturday?

by Ron70123

Won’t load courses , been coming up with an error for 3 months now!!!!

by Blowday

I’m using IPhone x and downloaded GolfGPSFreeCaddie and keep getting this internal server error
Tried everything to fix with no luck. My cousin and I were golfing today and his was working but not mine

by Barrunner

I downloaded “Free Caddie” a couple of years ago. Just recently I upgraded to the pro version (which I paid for). One of the courses in Phoenix that I play regularly is incorrectly measured by close to 14,000 yards. I have written to the company on two separate occasions in the past month, requesting they look into this problem. Like most companies these days, there is zero communication. Their only response was to direct me to a location to unsubscribe. Very disappointed in this company.

Lake Murray, Oklahoma golf course redid their course and GolfGPSFreeCaddie still has the old layout. Please fix this.

by JapandaXIII

GolfGPSFreeCaddie works just like it should and provides the yardage just like you think it would. It connected to my pebble with no problems and managed to maintain a decent connection. I've only had it disconnect twice in a round of golf and that ended up being a lot better than other yardage apps. It barely used any power through the round and was pretty accurate. So far this is the best yardage app for the pebble.

by Going Poolside

Yardage is very accurate and has a great display so you can easily see yardages when using your phone in the golf cart. I use GolfGPSFreeCaddie in conjunction with my rangefinder and the two work great together. I have compared to yardages to the GPS systems used by the golf carts as well as my laser rangefinder and it is very accurate. GolfGPSFreeCaddie also will measure your drive distances if you use the measuring option. I purchased the optional upgrade which is very good as it shows a graphical display all of the courses. This is a fantastic every golfer should have as a reference. A playing partner showed me GolfGPSFreeCaddie while we're playing and I'm glad he did. It is a fantastic app perfect for every golfer.

If your a golfer this is the best free app by far! with this gps app you can play ANY golf course you want. If the course is not in there database you can go to there website and map out 18 holes in about a half hour and it's instantly playable!!! Sweet. Depending on who mapped the course this program can be dead on! I just map the courses myself to make sure it's done correctly.

by 26handicap

Ive tried all the so called free golf gps apps out there and this is the best free golf gps. Other apps I've tried are ok because aerial photos but you have to estimate yardage. I've used GolfGPSFreeCaddie and it's accurate compared to the yardage posted on the markers on the courses ive played. It's a free app, so keep on mind you only get yardage not all the bells and whistles of paid apps or golf gps devices.

by Hutch5131

I have tries at least 10 of these free caddie apps and none of them had hardly any of the courses around my area so my hopes were not high. To my great surprise GolfGPSFreeCaddie has almost every course I have ever played. It's simple but works great. Better than some dumb range finder my father in law spent like 250 bucks on and this cost me zero. Great application.

by Jgrahamiii

Not many features compared to some apps, but what's there works perfectly for me. Accurate yardage, constant updates on Pebble, and low power usage. Phone stayed off in my pocket and had 82% left after round. Would like an auto hole advance, but simple enough to change holes with a button press on watch.
