Not really designed for course use where most if not all rule disputes take place. Good for indoor use. I challenge the developer to field test this app under real time course conditions. Test both novice and seasoned players to resolve a dispute in under a minute. When they can not you may understand the app is useless. In addition, the developer email contact in the app and below redirects me to AT&T support to force me to sign in to browser I don't use. Does not allow zoom function.
The latest update to this app (version .3) has resolved the issue I was having with offline access to the Rules of Golf. I am now rating this app as 5 stars. It is an indispensable reference for anyone who needs on course access to the Rules. It provides complete, well organized and searchable access to the Rules.
Difficult to find the correct rule and procedure for taking relief. I'd rather just have a pdf file of the real rule book or a shorter version with most common rulings.
This app and its support system is great. If you can't find the answer to that question, just ask in an email or phone call and they get right back with you.
Not much of an app if it takes you out of the app and to the website, for pretty much any click.
Never mind. Delete and reinstall corrected the crashing.
Can't get it to download. Even tried Wi-Fi but still nothing. Not sure what's going on?
Has everything you expect it to have Easy to find particular rules on the question at hand.
Rules on a video! Can't locate specific rules!
Very handy on the phone.
Search engine hard to use. Can't find specific rules
I love having the latest rules online and up to date.
Yes I still have this app download on my phone it is a must in my profession
Helped resolve some local arguments that had been going for years.
You need this on your phone when you start playing in January with the new rules.
good to have when questions come up
Clear descriptions of the rules
When will you make the 2020 version available?
Helped me settle a bet. Thank you for the help...

Good app, laid out nicely. Prefer to have bookmark capabilities to pick up where one leaves off.
The app is pretty handy. I can bring it around much easier than the actual book.
Needs to have bookmark capabilities. I'm too old to remember where I left off.
Good app, search can be difficult with wording.
Good app to review rules whenever you have the need
Works well for on course reviews of the rules
Got it for reference, seems to work okay.
The biggest drawback to the app is the inability to move the app to the SD card. Many Androids, like mine, have precious little hard drive space available. Useful apps, like the USGA rules, are, unfortunately, the first to be deleted when space is at a premium. A problem that could simply be solved by allowing the app to be moved to the SD card...
