Common questions.
When is BirdieBuddy coming to the App Store?
Soon, iPhone first. Until then you can try the beta on TestFlight. The app is in German for now.
Who is BirdieBuddy for?
For golfers aged 16 and over who are looking for playing partners, whether for a relaxed after-work nine or for tournament practice.
How do I delete my account?
In the app under Settings, «Account löschen» (delete account). This deletes your profile, posts, photos, videos and direct chats; comments and messages in groups remain, anonymised. The details are in the privacy policy (in German).
How do I report a post or a person?
Use the menu (…) on the post, profile or message and choose «Melden» (report). We aim to respond within 24 hours. You can block people in the same place. What is allowed is set out in the community rules (in German).
Who can see my location?
Nobody sees your coordinates. The server only stores your location rounded to a grid of about 2 km; others see a rounded distance.
Is my handicap shown?
No. BirdieBuddy only uses your handicap and year of birth to find good suggestions. The app never shows them to others.
