PinFlag for Android

An Android version of PinFlag is coming soon. Until it lands you can still use the numbers behind it: the calculator below runs in your Android browser, on the same published baselines the app uses, and prices any shot you give it.

No date yet, and none will be invented here. Leave an email and you hear when the Android build is real.

Strokes gained, in your browser

Set the lie and the distance before your shot and where the ball finished. This is the same arithmetic PinFlag runs on the course, and it works on any phone.

Every number comes from the published expected strokes tables. A drive on a 400 yard hole starts at 3.99 expected strokes. From 150 in the fairway you are 2.95 from holing out, and from the rough at the same distance 3.19, so that miss costs 0.25 of a stroke before you have swung again. Ten feet is 1.63 putts. How strokes gained works walks through the formula, and the other calculators all run in an Android browser too.

What the app adds

The calculator prices one shot at a time and forgets it. The app prices the shot you are standing over, on the hole you are playing, with your own distances behind the number and every shot kept so the round adds up. It takes the lie and the distance in two taps, works with no signal, and draws your real dispersion on the hole with Shot Cloud.

That is what the Android build brings across. The full feature list and pricing apply the same way on both platforms.

Frequently asked questions

Is PinFlag available on Android?
An Android version is coming. PinFlag is built for iPhone today, and the list on this page is how you hear the moment Android is ready; the strokes gained calculators on this site already run in any Android browser.
When does the Android version launch?
There is no date to give yet, and a date that slips is worse than no date. Join the list and you will be told when it is real rather than when it is hoped for.
Can I use strokes gained on Android right now?
Yes, on this page. The calculator here runs in any Android browser and uses the same published baselines as the app, so you can price a shot from any lie and distance today. It does not save rounds; that is what the app is for.
Will the Android version have the same features?
That is the intent: strokes gained before the swing on the hole you are playing, launch monitor import, Shot Cloud, Insights and two-tap shot logging. Anything not finished at launch will be listed plainly on this page rather than quietly left out.
Does PinFlag need sensors or a launch monitor?
No hardware is required. PinFlag reads the lie from the course map and the distance from the pin you placed, and prices every target from your first round. Launch monitor data and logged rounds make the numbers yours rather than a benchmark average.

On an iPhone as well?
