TallyUp Golf Support

Most answers are also in the app: tap the question mark on the Rounds screen or during a round. If something here doesn't help, write to natured-lobular8t@icloud.com with your device, its iOS version and what happened.

Start a round

  1. On Rounds, tap the plus button.
  2. Search for the course by name, or type the card in yourself. Courses you've played are in the Library and work with no signal.
  3. Add up to four players, with the strokes each one gets.
  4. Pick any side games. The help button beside them explains each one.

A blank score starts at par, so most holes take one tap per player. Plus and minus cover the rest, and Undo takes back the last change.

Yards to the green

With location allowed, the yards to the back, middle and front of the green are measured from where you stand once you're near the hole. Without location, or away from the course, they're measured from the tee. Tap the map to aim at a spot and see the yards to it and on to the pin.

If yards look wrong, check that Location Services is on for TallyUp Golf in your device's Settings, under Privacy & Security. Settings in the app shows whether the app can use your location and has a button to open the right page.

A course has no map, or the map is wrong

Hole shapes come from OpenStreetMap, which volunteers draw. Some courses aren't drawn yet, or are drawn only in part. Those holes show a sketch from the par and yardage instead, and scoring works the same. Tap Mark This Hole on the sketch to mark its tee and green yourself. In the Library, the refresh button fetches a course's map again, which picks up changes made on OpenStreetMap.

The side view

The side view shows how much a hole climbs or drops, from US Geological Survey heights, and what that, the wind, the temperature and the altitude do to the yardage. It covers courses in the United States. Elsewhere it says there's no elevation data and the other views still work.

Side games and settling up

TallyUp Golf plays stroke play, Stableford, match play, skins, Nassau with presses, and wolf, gross or net. Which games show depends on how many players and holes there are. Results shows each game's standing and the fewest payments that settle everything, in points. The app keeps the tally; it doesn't move money.

iCloud sync

With "Sync Rounds With iCloud" on in Settings, your rounds follow you to your other devices signed in to the same Apple Account. If a round doesn't show on another device:

  1. Check that both devices are signed in to iCloud with the same Apple Account, and that iCloud Drive is on.
  2. Open TallyUp Golf on both. Settings shows when rounds last synced.
  3. Switch "Sync Rounds With iCloud" off and on again, which sends every round again.

Backups

Settings, Back Up Now saves every round to one file in iCloud Drive's TallyUp Golf folder, or on the device when iCloud Drive is off. Restore From a Backup lists those files. A single round can also be sent from its menu as a file, which TallyUp Golf opens on another device.

iPhone Duo

Closed, TallyUp Golf works like it does on any iPhone. Open the phone and the round spreads across both halves: the scorecard and the whole course on one, the hole and the score buttons on the other. Fold or open it at any time; the round stays where it was.

Privacy

TallyUp Golf collects nothing. See the privacy policy.
