TheGrint review

TheGrint started as a handicap app and still leads on that side. You can link a USGA Handicap Index and sync eligible scores in the US, join the GHAP handicap network elsewhere, get an estimate if you have no official handicap, and look up other golfers' playing history. The free tier is a full app: score tracking, the headline number in each stats module, GPS maps and distances on more than 40,000 courses, a manual shot tracker, watch GPS distances, live leaderboards and six games. Pro costs $59.99 a year with a 7-day trial and adds the full 50+ performance stats, Insights and Targets, unlimited Green Maps on 25,000+ courses, target dispersion, watch scoring and shot tracking, 11 games and unlimited scorecard photo uploads. Course discovery and rankings, including TheGrint Top 100, help pick where to play. GPS is solid but less central here than on 18Birdies or Golfshot, and in the US an official Handicap ID costs extra.
