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...

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.

4/24/19 Update - Would love to discuss what you see as the issues/shortcomings with our app in more detail. I just tested the email contact feature in the app and it is working as designed - but you can also reach out to us directly by email at RulesApp@usga.org

Searches produce unrelated nonsense. Impossible to use in real time. Little if any help in finding a rule. I'm pretty sure no one involved in thus app have ever held a golf club. They certainly have never debated a free drop.
