# What makes PinFlag different from other golf apps?

> Canonical: https://pinflag.io/answers/golf-apps/what-makes-pinflag-different-from-other-golf-apps


The number arrives before the swing, on any target you pick, built on your own dispersion and the lie the course actually has at that spot, with your real dispersion drawn on the hole. Each logged shot records where you aimed as well as where it finished, so your dispersion is measured from real rounds. And every figure carries a Measured or Estimated label, so you always know what stands behind it.

## 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.
