Many golf apps help track scores, provide swing instruction, offer GPS tracking, and suggest clubs. However, none focused solely on side games played during a traditional round—games that add excitement through friendly wagers. The challenge is that most players don’t fully understand the rules, some games are more complex than others, and calculating payouts often defaults to trusting the player who knows the rules best.

The Skins App set out to eliminate this complexity, allowing players to focus on their game while handling all the math in the background and only requesting input when necessary. Adding to the challenge, not all games are the same—some require different player counts, while others allow multiple games to be layered.

Game discovery and education also needed a solution beyond a wall of confusing instructions. To uphold our core pillars of low friction and lightweight design, we needed to create a streamlined onboarding process that quickly gets players into the game with minimal effort.
