Open the Parbot tab, tap Tap to Speak and say where you're playing, for example “Pine Valley, white tees, eighteen holes” or “Front nine at Sentul”. When you pause, Parbot works it out and shows the course, tee, holes, starting hole and date. Change anything you need, then tap Start Round. You can also tap Type, or pick a recent course. Your round opens with every hole listed, and you fill them in as you play.

Tap the wave button at the top right and say how it went, for example “Bogey, two putts, missed left”, or tap the keyboard button to type it. Check the card that appears and tap Confirm. You can also tap Birdie, Par, Bogey or Double, or tap the hole to set strokes, putts and more by hand. Parbot moves on to the next hole by itself. To fix a hole, tap it in the list.

Yes. Say or type something like “Hole 1 par, hole 2 bogey, hole 3 seven”. Parbot shows each hole so you can check them before saving.

Tap Pick Up or say “picked up”. Parbot records net double bogey for that hole (par + 5 until you have a handicap estimate) and marks it PU on your scorecard.

Save it as a 9-hole course in Settings → Courses. You can then play 9 holes, or 18 holes by going round twice; Parbot repeats the par for the second nine.

Yes. Say “Log a hole in Parbot” to Siri, then your score. Siri reads it back and saves it when you say “yes”. Your round also shows on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, with a Log Hole button.

Every hole is saved as soon as you confirm it. Open Parbot and your round is right where you left it.

Tap Finish at the top left once every hole has a score, and Parbot saves the round and shows your summary. Your round stays active until you finish: swipe down to check something else, then tap Resume on the Parbot tab to carry on. If some holes are still empty, Parbot asks whether to finish without saving: you can leave, but that round isn't saved and doesn't use one of your free rounds.

Parbot works on any iPhone with iOS 26. With Apple Intelligence turned on, it understands longer sentences, writes Insights summaries and answers questions in Ask Parbot. Without it, Parbot still understands scores like “bogey, two putts” with its built-in parser, and the buttons always work.

It compares the average of your last 5 complete rounds with the 5 before, for 18-hole and 9-hole rounds separately. Insights also shows your scoring mix, average to par on par 3s, 4s and 5s, putting, fairways, greens and penalties.

Parbot needs at least 3 complete 18-hole rounds played from a tee with a course rating and slope. Add them for each tee in Settings → Courses; you'll find them on the course scorecard. 9-hole rounds aren't used for the estimate.

No. It's an estimate based on the World Handicap System to help you track progress. It isn't submitted to any golf association.

Turn on Settings → iCloud Backup while signed in to iCloud. Your rounds sync to your private iCloud and appear on your new iPhone when you sign in with the same Apple Account.

Open a round and tap the Share button, or tap Share Scorecard after you finish. Choose whether to show putts, stats and your note, then pick where to send it.

Settings → Export Rounds (CSV) saves a file with one row per hole that opens in Numbers, Excel and Google Sheets. Settings → Delete All Data removes everything from your iPhone and iCloud. It can't be undone, so export first if you want a copy.

No. Parbot has no account and no servers. Read the Privacy Policy for details.

Every feature, for 4 rounds each month. A round counts when you finish it with every hole scored, whether it's 9 or 18 holes, including rounds you add for an earlier date. A round you finish without saving doesn't count. The count starts over on the 1st. You can always finish a round you've started, and your history, Insights, Ask Parbot and sharing stay free.

Unlimited rounds. Choose a monthly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase.

Make sure you're signed in with the Apple Account you bought it with, then open Settings → Restore Purchases.

In Parbot, go to Settings → Manage Subscription, or open the iOS Settings app, tap your name, then Subscriptions. Cancel at least 24 hours before the renewal date to avoid the next charge. If you bought Lifetime, cancel any subscription you still have.
