New iPhone Compatible TAGS - Feedback Wanted!

A few weeks ago we announced our NEW Golf Pad TAGS. Any Golf Pad TAGS purchased after November 1, 2018 are now compatible with iPhone 7 / iOS 12 or later as well as Android. iPhone users rejoice!


Tracking your shots automatically means you can focus on your game and keep your phone in your pocket. Hundreds of you have already purchased your new set. 


We focus on user feedback to continue to deliver the best experience and features. We want to hear from you! 


1. Are you an Android or iPhone user? 
2. What were your thoughts about the set up process of the new tags? 
3. Have you had time to use them on the course? What did you like most about using them? 

Any other thoughts you'd like to share with the team?


Ready, set, GO...

Is there a timeline for Fitbit users?
Just switched from android to iPhone. In doing so my Samsung fit s2 no longer works. It is compatible with iPhone but not 3rd party apps. Won’t even show apps. So with this. I will not pay 400 dollars for an iwatch. My only hope is you folks make Fitbit compatible.

Hi Dale! Thank you for your feedback. At this time, the iPhone/Samsung watch configuration isn't possible. We are working on FitBit compatibility. I'll get back to you with more details about the timeline. Are you using TAGS with your iPhone or just the Premium app? 

Thank you for responding. I am using tags, and link. I’m in the snow state so time is not of the essence. Thank you for keeping me posted Dale Rupe

Dale - I heard from our team was was informed that FitBit compatibility is on our roadmap for 2019. Sorry I don't have more specifics for you, but perhaps by the time the snow melts we'll have more news! 

Just started using the iPhone with tags. I switched from the reader as soon as they became available . It’s a definite drain on the battery of your cell phone. It’s practically impossible to finish around and have any charge left on your phone. That’s even with putting the phone in low battery mode. I have a brand new iPhone X with a very good battery like yet this app just kills it. It would be nice if your team worked on the power management supposed not such a drain on the phone

Hi Mike - We appreciate the feedback! The majority of the users can complete a full 18-hole round, some users report they can play two rounds on a full charge. Ultimately, this depends on the model of the phone. Some newer phones have different features (possibly running in the background) that may be consuming additional battery. There are several things you can do to improve battery life: disable Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and online sync in system settings. Tune down the brightness of the screen as long as you can still read it outdoors. Avoid using other phone features such as browsing or email. 


We'll continue to do additional testing on these new iPhone models to ensure the app and phone work as efficiently as possible together. Let us know if these tips help when you play your next round.
