score70 vs Golf GameBook

Golf GameBook calls itself the “#1 Golf Scorecard & Social App”.[1]

It is a native app with a social feed, and it rated 4.7 stars from about 1,700 ratings on the UK App Store when we checked.[1][2]

score70 is a web page and a live leaderboard for one group’s day, trip or season. The difference that matters most on a society day is who has to install what.

The short answer

Who each one suits

Golf GameBook suits you if…

  • You want one app for every round you play, with GPS, stats and a watch.
  • Your group enjoys the social side: a feed, likes and following each other.
  • You play in Sweden, Finland, Spain, Iceland or Denmark and want scores posted there.
  • Your trip wants foursomes or greensomes in a Ryder Cup today.

score70 suits you if…

  • Half the society will not download another app, and you are tired of keeping score for the players who do not have it.
  • You want every format and board without a subscription.
  • The course has patchy signal and the cards still have to add up.
  • You play British society formats like Bowmaker or Russian Stableford, or run a season table.

Credit where it is due

What Golf GameBook does well

  • A native app for iPhone and Android, with Apple Watch and Wear OS support.[3][4]
  • A social side score70 deliberately does not have: a feed, following friends and watching their rounds.[1]
  • A large course list: about 40,000 courses by its own count (other pages on its site give 42,000 or about 48,000).[1]
  • Twenty formats, including foursomes and greensomes in match play, Irish Rumble and its own Duplicate and Erado games.[5]
  • Reds vs Blues, a Ryder Cup style event for up to 72 players over up to 6 rounds.[6]
  • Its own GGB Handicap, and official score posting in Sweden, Finland, Spain, Iceland and Denmark.[7]
  • Tournament Manager, a separate web tool for clubs, with registration, entry-fee payments, TV leaderboards and nearest-the-pin and longest-drive contests.[8]
  • Reviewers like its live leaderboard: “live leaderboard is brilliant” (App Store review, August 2026).[9]

In their users’ words

What reviewers say

  • “Awesome to watch mates scores come in as they play” (App Store, August 2026).[9]

Individual reviews from the app stores, quoted as written. One review is one person’s experience.

Plainly

What score70 does not do

  • No GPS, distances, shot tracking or watch app.
  • No official score posting: rounds do not go to England Golf or your WHS record.
  • No nearest-the-pin or longest-drive markers yet, no TV board yet.
  • No foursomes or greensomes yet.
  • Fewer courses than the big apps: more than 1,800 UK courses, with the card typed in for anywhere else.
  • No social feed, by design, and no push notifications.

What it does do, it does without asking anything of the players: one link, a tap on their name, and they are scoring.

Free, and nothing for the players to install

Try it on your next round

Make the organiser account, add the players and the course, and send one link to the group. Everyone else just taps their name.
