- Getting started
- Finding your way around Ringer
Short answer. Everything is a tap from the bar along the bottom: Today, Rounds, Create, Club and Improve. Your Profile and Settings are behind the avatar in the top-right corner.
How it works
The tab bar
| Tab | Where it takes you |
|---|---|
| Today | Your home screen. The next thing on your calendar, or the round you are playing right now. |
| Rounds | Every round you are part of: live, upcoming and finished. Round Hubs, boards and results live here. |
| Create | The centre button. Opens a sheet to start something new. |
| Club | Your clubs, leagues and crews. |
| Improve | Your form, handicap trend and how you are actually playing. |
The bar tucks away while you keep score, and while you are creating a round, so the scorecard has the whole screen. It also compacts as you scroll down a long page.
Today
From the top: a greeting with your first name, your avatar, and a stats pill with your handicap (with a check mark when it is verified by GHIN) and season best. Below that, one primary card:
- A live round, with the current hole, who is playing and Continue scoring, Resume round, Complete & sign or Review & publish. Round hub sits beside it.
- Otherwise your next round, with a TODAY, TOMORROW or N DAYS chip and View game.
- Otherwise "No golf on the books" and a Plan a game button.
Under the card: your other rounds (up to three, then View all) and a Quick start button that mirrors the main action. Pull down to refresh.
Create
Tap the centre button to open the Create sheet:
- Play golf: "Solo, one group, or multiple tee times". Start a round from scratch.
- Add a past round: "Upload a scorecard or enter results".
- Find a course: "Search courses, scorecards, and tees".
- Create an event is marked COMING SOON and cannot be tapped yet.
Profile
The avatar in the top-right of Today, Rounds, Club and Improve opens your Profile. The Settings icon on that page opens Settings. See Your Profile and Settings.
Good to know
- Back buttons use your real history inside the app. If you arrived from a link, Back takes you somewhere sensible instead of out of the app.
- In the iOS app, if you close the app and come back later, it reopens where you were. A link you tap always wins over that.
- Not every feature on the website is available in the app today. Trips, events, Spatial shot tracking and Ask Ringer are not part of this release.
If it doesn't work
- "That screen didn't load." with "Retry the current view, or go back to Today." A page failed to load. Tap retry; on a scoring screen your saved scores are not cleared by this.
- "Let's get you back in." / "Ringer hit a temporary loading problem. Your saved scores and round data are safe." Tap Try again.
- "This league hasn't refreshed yet. Your current screen is still open. Try again when your connection is stable." Tap Retry once you have signal, or Back to League.
- "This feature is not available in this release." You followed a link to a gated feature. Head back to Today.
- "You're offline — Ringer needs a connection to load." Check your signal and tap Try again. Your scores are safe.
