Leave a Review ShotVision Launch Monitor
Great idea still needs tons of work.
I really wanted this app to work great. I’m using the free version but unless the sunlight is in an exact position I can’t get it to read the ball. I’ve tried it 3 different time at the range once in afternoon and got it to read 4 shots but none back to back. Next more late afternoon and for it to read 1 shot then never got it to register the ball again. Last was morning wouldn’t read the ball at all. Readjusted the phone multiple times along with changing the color of ball I was hitting and nothing. I wanted to do the paid version to see the better stats but can’t justify that if I can’t get it to read the ball.Show lessCrizone123

Thanks for the review. We would love to have a look at the data and see if there is anything we can debug from your feedback and your sessions regarding your conditions. Please give us a shout at support@shotvisionapp.com! Have a good one.It’s ok
I have the paid version and it can sense a bad shot pretty well. But when I hit it pure it gives strange readings. Today it said my swing speed is 130 mph and carry is 288 with 7 iron. Guess I’m going on tour. But maybe not since this app says my drives only go 200 yards. It does well 60% of the time. I can tell when I hit my average 7 iron and it says carry is 150 yards. If I don’t hit it that well it says fewer yards so there is some value. Occasionally after I hit it just says busy and have to start a new session.Show lessryans nickname
Great value / horrible UI
It’s great to see this kind of functionality come to the masses. The UI is truly awful, navigation is less than intuitive. Don’t supposed this lot did any user trials. Works well on a driver but distances are way off for other clubs, 3 wood was consistently half the actual distances. And what is with the web site, there is nothing there: really ! So FAQs like “what is the stats section about” goes unanswered. Very amateur. Upgrading by one star as they got back to me with some tips. I’ll try them and update as necessaryShow lessPnichol2

Thanks for the review and feedback! We have heard you and will put in the work on the UI/UX to improve the overall experience for our users.Poor shot recognition
App interface is really solid, simple to use. I really like the way the monitor is set up and in the ONE session I was able to get feedback, really well organized within the app.
However this app (pre and post update) has abysmal shot recognition. I have gotten this to function properly once out of 10+ tries. I’m on pro version as well. The new set up is far better than the old setup, so at least the camera is in front view and not some bizarre angle. But I haven’t been able to get any shots recorded no matter what the conditions are. If you’re going to release a paid version of an app, you better make sure it does the basics first.Show lessBrandon Ribbs

Hi Brandon Ribbs, thanks for taking the time to write a review and also for your feedback. We would love it if you send us an email at support@shotvisionapp.com to try and assist with the issues you are having? If there is something we need to fix it would be great to chat and make sure we address them. We also have a few questions with regards to iPhone device you were using (app only compatible with iPhone 6S and newer, no iPads), then which mode you were on (outdoor, indoor, flicker), lastly did you place the folded golf towel under the tripod when using the app as vibration causes tracking issues? Please pop us an email, we'd love to hear from you. All the bestUseless. A waste of $40
The many inconsistencies far outweigh any actual stats that it might occasionally capture….Needs massive improvement! I spend much more time dealing with the app’s problems than I do hitting balls. Frustrating to say the least.
I want to like this app but it makes me reset it every few shots, it fails to capture frequently and the audible setting fails regularly as well. It distracts me more than it helps me. Maybe a future version will be worthwhile.Show lessJimPartain
Not accurate with SKILZ practice balls
Trying this out with several clubs on a new mat and SKILZ practice balls was fun but definitely not worth paying for at this time. I used the 2.0.5 version and it often missed my best strokes! The hit rate was well over 90%, but the total yardage was much shorter than expected. The stats were all over the place and I found that even the best keepers were shorter than expected. With the 2.0 version, I hit a 300+ yard 7 iron mixed in with some short shots. I enjoyed it as a novelty for a week and canceled it. Keep working on it.Show lessMPF56
Needs iPad support
It’s a great app in general, it tracks ball speed and almost everything if you pay for it the only downside is that I have an old phone which lags when I’m running the app and an iPad which doesn’t even work with the camera, it’s kind of annoying but please try to make it work.five starraider
Garbage
I was eager to see how this worked. I was horrible disappointed. I had just used the launch monitor at my local range and indoor at Golf Galaxy. They tracked pretty close to each other in terms of ball speed, carry distance and swing speed. This app was so horribly off…garbage. My 5 wood goes on average about 208, 3 wood 220, 7 iron 150. With my driver swing speed typical around 92 mph. This app recorded my driver swing speed at 70 mph, my 3w, 5w and 7 iron distance at around 170, 150 and 130 yards. Not even close to accurate and if I trusted those on then course it would be a disaster. I tried using the app multiple times, adjusting position, recalibrating etc. It was never accurate.

Please check out version 2.0 now available! We built new tech from the ground up with a new setup that is easier to understand as it works much the same as other camera based launch monitors.Save your money
This app just doesn’t cut it. If u want to know your swing speed the free version will give u that. The paid version that includes distance carried is a joke. It says I hit my six iron further than my driver. As others have said it seems to do pretty well with the shorter irons. Passed that it’s useless. Using iPhone and tripod. Outdoors in good light. My contact to support through their website was unanswered. Should have done the yearly so I got a seven day free trial. They don’t offer a trial on the monthly subscription for a reason.Show lessStan92469
3 stars so Far
Just started using the app. It doesn’t always pick up your shot even when you hit it well.
I’m using a 4ft T square to keep the ball and phone in the right place. The more accurate your ball placement the better the results.
I’m going to spring for the pro version. After using the app more I’ll update my review.Show lessDeVelis
