# Is PinFlag reliable?

Every shot is stored on the phone as you log it and every number is computed on the phone, so a dead zone changes nothing; the round uploads to your account when the phone next has a connection. The course maps live on your phone. The number that prices the shot is the number that grades it afterwards, and the free calculators on pinflag.io run the same numbers.

## 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.
