# How do I start using PinFlag? > Canonical: https://pinflag.io/answers/getting-started/how-do-i-start-using-pinflag Get PinFlag on your iPhone from the App Store, sign in, pick your course, and start a round. On the first hole you place the pin on the green, put the aim on the target you are playing to and read the strokes gained of that spot before you swing; after the shot you tap where the ball finished and confirm the club and lie. That is the whole loop, and every later feature grows out of those two taps. Topic: Getting started with PinFlag, https://pinflag.io/answers/getting-started ## Plain facts - PinFlag is an iPhone app; the course maps and every shot live on your phone, so it works anywhere on the course. - PinFlag is launching on the App Store; the download page takes an email and tells you the day it is live. - Every number is strokes gained on Mark Broadie’s published PGA TOUR baselines, priced on the same published baselines in the app and on this site. - PinFlag prices the target you choose, with your own dispersion and the lie read from the course map; the decision stays yours, with the arithmetic done. - Every number is labeled Measured (your own data) or Estimated (a benchmark standing in), and the two are never blended. - Pins you set during a round are yours, and every round exports as CSV or JSON on request.
