Several golf apps are named Press. Here's the map.
It's a confusing corner of the App Store: at least five apps carry the Press name, because the press is the most loved mechanic in golf side games. They are different products from different developers with genuinely different philosophies. The table below sticks to facts, each verified against the product's own website or App Store listing on July 11, 2026.

“Not stated” means the feature is not described in that product's public website or App Store listing as of July 11, 2026; it may exist. There is also at least one further app simply called Press (pressgolf.app) whose public materials we could not verify. All product names and trademarks belong to their owners. Spot an error?

The one-sentence difference
Nobody tracks the press with Press Tracker's depth. Automatic presses fire the moment a team goes 2 down; manual presses start with one tap, any time, with no limit. Chains stack and stay legible, and you always know exactly how far up or down you are across every live press in every game, all the way to a Lock Screen Live Activity that shows the running plus-or-minus without opening the app. Other apps list the press as one format on a menu. Press Tracker was built around it: the display, the automation, and the history are the product.
Press Tracker is a scorekeeping companion for entertainment use only. It does not accept, hold, or process money; dollar figures are illustrative. 18+.
Frequently asked questions
- Is Press Tracker the same app as Press Golf App?
- No. Press Tracker (presstrackerapp.com) is built by Kaleb Smith and Greg Smith; Press Golf App (pressgolfapp.com) is a different app from a different, unrelated developer. Press Tracker's focus is press-tracking depth: automatic 2-down presses, one-tap manual presses, unlimited chains, and a running net that follows you to the Lock Screen.
- Which of the apps named Press is free?
- Press Tracker is free with no ads and no subscriptions. Per their own listings as of July 2026, the other Press-named apps range from a $4.99 one-time purchase to subscriptions of $19.99 to $35.99 per year.
- Does Press Tracker settle or move money?
- No. Press Tracker is a pure scorekeeper: the dollar figures it tracks are illustrative, and settling up stays between your group. Entertainment use only, 18+.
- Why are so many golf apps called Press?
- Because the press, the comeback match that traditionally starts when a side falls 2 down, is the most loved mechanic in golf side games. Every app in the category wants the word. Press Tracker is built for groups who press whenever they want: automatic at 2 down if you like the convention, and always a one-tap manual press at any moment, no cap. When comparing, check how deeply each app actually tracks it: the automation, the chains, and what the display shows you mid-round.
