MiScore FAQs
Dear Members,
Please see FAQS on MiScore below, you can also check out this link – https://miscore.com.au/cms/about/faq/
Q: How can I see what the index value of a hole is?
A: Press the Shots value to reveal a popup of the index of the hole or press the cumulative score total value box which acts as a button to the full scorecard interface. You’ll find the indexes per hole as well as gross and net totals during the round.
Q: How can I improve the battery life while using the app?
A: Try setting your device to ‘Low Power Mode’. For Apple devices this is found under Settings / Battery options. Also closing other apps in the background helps otherwise ensure you are fully charged prior to play. For older devices, having a backup battery or solar charger device would be ensure your round is un-interrupted.
Also many powered buggies have a usb charger port and utilising this to keep your device charged would be recommended. DO NOT attempt to use the app in ‘flight or airplane’ mode as data transmission to the clubs golf system is required even during the round.
From 5th June the app will revert the backlight to 80% instead of 100% during scoring to reduce battery use. You can adjust this further via the brightness settings found under Menu/Settings interface.
Q: Do I need to turn off the phone between scoring holes?
A: No, the app will reduce the backlight to minimum to save battery usage after 30 second of non use and touching the screen will wake it out of this mode and return to the scoring screen. This allows you to run the app in hands free / touch mode (attach to a phone cradle for optimum user experience).
Q: Is there a quicker way to enter scores?
A: Yes! instead of pressing the + button several times, simply press the Par value which will change the default score from 0 to the par value i.e. 3,4 or 5. Now use the + or – minus button to get to the actual gross score for the hole.
Q: Can I access course/hole map information?
A: Yes, simply press the distance to the pin/green value in the top right corner which will revert to the hole map of the course indicating your location and the distance-line to the pin/green. You can touch different areas of the hole to provide you distances from your location as well. Useful for distance too fairway bunkers for example.
Q: Is live scoring available on the leaderboards?
A: Yes by accessing the menu and selecting leaderboards, however this is controlled by the club. The club controls on whether the online leaderboards are available during play and if live scoring (per hole) is available as well.
Q: Can I turn off the GPS/Location service?
A: Under the Apps menu/settings is an option to turn ‘Locations Enabled’ off. This will mean that you won’t receive distance to the Pin or Green while in use. You can turn this back on at any stage though.
Q: Why am I getting an Alert that my score submission failed?
A: Please check that you have internet connection by checking mobile bar signal, ensure you are not in Flight mode and have use Mobile Data for MiScore enabled.
Q: What does the Mins time value refer to?
A: Depending on the club course data, the app will show either a timer value from when you enter the starting hole scoring interface, or it shows a time in Minutes on how long the expected time to complete the hole as determined from the average time per hole set by the club referencing your start time. For example if the value is positive i.e. Mins 4 then that indicates that you are 4 minutes ahead of the expected pace of play. If the value is a negative value i.e. – 4 Mins then that indicates your group are four minutes behind the expected pace of play.
