Comments on SwingU: Golf GPS Range Finder for Android

★★★★★ Ben Johnson · Jun 3, 2026

Great golf app! Using free version right now for distance but think I'll upgrade to add my golf bag. Works fast and offers everything I need right now.

★★★★★ Grandfathers Son Handy Services · Jun 23, 2026

Fairly accurate yardage, it has all the courses I go to. Great app.love, shot an 85 at River Run Bradenton fl.

★★★★★ Don Gosselin · May 27, 2025

This App works great. I am an average golfer that tracks my games, my score & handicap. The touch yardage is fantastic especially within 150 yds to the greens.

★★★★★ James Powers · Nov 23, 2024

Great for viewing courses yardage and keeping track of your scores

★☆☆☆☆ Don Roberts · Oct 4, 2024

Just want free app., wouldn't let me. Too many free apps out there.

★☆☆☆☆ Kebler Family · Oct 30, 2024

SwingU app won't open. Cleared Cache, and did a phone restart, app still would not open.

★☆☆☆☆ Steve Medlock · Mar 17, 2025

Too expensive. I've used this app for 10 years and have generally liked it. However, the latest updates made it worse and now the price went from $25 a year to $100! I'll have to switch to a different app. Update 3-17-25. You want me pay a 400% increase or pay for fewer features AND help you fix the bugs? No, thanks. What's wrong with the last update is yardages can be way off randomly when they were accurate and entering hole scores is difficult and inaccurate. Says scores I enter are wrong

★☆☆☆☆ mark moran · Oct 22, 2024

The more they mess with 'updating' it the worse it gets. 2 stars down to 1. Tired of the ignorance, deleted this and went to a far superior GPS app called Golf Pad.

★★☆☆☆ Neil Ferguson · Jun 20, 2026

Want to like this app, and it has many positives. But, free version won't load stats due to ads or may other areas. I block ads. Drop the redirect to ads and more may pay for the app. The maps for courses is an awesome feature though.

★☆☆☆☆ luke pengilley · Jul 26, 2026

I've cancelled my subscription, but they still keep trying to take money from my cancelled credit card. I'm going to see if I can report you to Google. It used to be a good, affordable app. Now they're just money grabbers!!
