Leave a Review ShotVision Launch Monitor
Cool Idea, just inaccurate and impossible data readings
If it was accurate it would be awesome. I had no issues with set up or getting it to read my data. But even though I had this off the matt and on concrete (so no vibration possible) and had the calibration lined up perfectly, it was just wrong. 9 iron shots going 190. Sand wedge going 220. Those were the outliers. But still I know I don’t average 160 9i. Or 190 7i. Also I have no idea how it could possible get an angle of attack data. When the phone is in front of your swing and there is nothing on the club to capture data.Show lessJStillwell81
Wow!!
I usually don’t give reviews. But I am very impressed with this app. I was using it at the range and a guy there asked about it and asked if he could compare his $500 Rapsodo device to my app. The numbers between the two devices were almost exactly the same. Very impressed with this app.grubworm2
Not what it promises
I got this app in the hopes that it would be a cost effective option for a launch monitor and was disappointed. For starters it is super finicky on picking up the ball. I could place the phone in one spot, hit the ball the exact same way, and it would sometimes see the shot and sometimes not. There seemed to be no consistency that I could understand. Speaking of consistency when it did pick up similar shots it would give wildly different distances. On my seven iron I would get 140 yards followed by 240 yards on shots that were very similar. If you are considering buying this service for a month to test it out like me, don’t bother.Show lessWishfulOsprey
A great value when compared to other launch monitors
OK it does take a bit of getting used to with set up (It took me at least three sessions to get it right) and the numbers are a bit off when compared to “real” launch monitors, but for $40 it is a great tool to take to the driving range and get acceptable data on your swings.
The developer is working on accuracy and consistency problems with each update, and the feature set is already as good as launch monitors costing 10-20 times more.
If you are a real golfer than you will probably spend $500 for a radar-based monitor anyway, but for $40/year (or $7/month) it is definitely good enough for duffers like me. 😀Show lessJoe T. Plumber
Looks like it could be a nice little app, but
Looks like it could be a nice little app, but unless you pay for a subscription the app is basically useless. Only things it tell you is your ball speed, swing speed, launch angle, and ball rotation speed. It don’t tell you your carry distance or total distance unless you pay for a subscription. Looking in the app it appears that it also doesn’t keep your stats unless again you pay for a subscription. I do like how you can program the app to adjust the loft angle of your clubs. As for accuracy, I am a slow speed golf club swinger. I have never been tracked on a true launch monitor so I’m not sure how accurate the app is, but the speeds it told be I was hitting maybe maybe close don’t know for sure. Like some of the other reviewers said not all shot get registered by the app. I hit a few real good shoots and nothing registered. I was using it indoors on indoor mode so that may have been the reason as indoor mood by my understanding is still in beta testing. Haven’t tried it outdoors, but because I have to pay to get my carry distance and total distance and keep my stats, I will not be testing outdoors as I’ll be deleting the app.Show lessNorthwildwoodnjman1969
Works pretty well honestly.
Took to the range and honestly 95% of the shots are pretty accurate. But when it tells me I hit my 5iron 280yds it would be nice to be able to remove those shots we all know are incorrect. Otherwise it’s helping me figure out my club gapping well.
Any plans to leverage the lidar on the 12 pro for the calibration? Some form of visual representation of the shots would also be pretty cool.Show lessAnnoying crap
Not accurate but gives you an idea
The app itself is not even close to 100% accurate. For any club you hit over 170 yards take it with a grain of salt how far the carry distance went. I hit my driver 260+ yards. Using this app I've hit over 200 carry yards maybe 5 times. One of those being 300 yards. (No shot). With my 4 iron I know I hit it about 220 yards and this says I hit it maybe 180.
It is very accurate when it comes to wedges though. If you go light or hard it's pretty accurate on anything under 170 yards.
I have brought this to the range once and used a tripod with it and the yards were all off. When I use it inside with great lighting it works pretty well as long as you don't go past a 6 iron.Show lessmattisawesome42
Thank You!
Good morning South Africa
And Thank You for thinking on us that can not afford those 5000 and more dollars ball trackers or swing tracker or what ever you want to call them. I know that golf is an expensive sport. But if we keep it expensive, soon this sport will die also with the new generation. And believe me there is a lot of good young fellows that can play golf but can’t afford it unless they have a sponsor or a rich dad. And your app is a solution. It’s easy. It works. And it’s fun!!!!! Thank you guys and everyone else that complains is because they didn’t read the instructions or are just jealous of your product. Keep updating it for more fun and effective stuff and it will sure make you guys BIGShow lessfather of John
Developer Response
Ho father of John, thanks for taking the time to write an awesome review, we really appreciate it. We’re always working on and improving the app so always look out for updates. All the bestNeeds Work but Great Possibilities
Gave it (iOS) a try in my garage range with a 7 iron and 5 iron. Didn’t read first 4 hits but then read 3 and no more after. Reset but still no reading. Understand indoors is beta so . . . . Readings on free version were so so with launch making sense but no distance. Would be nice to have a 7 day full version trial. Have looked at many on-line and You Tube reviews that seem to feel as I do. Not all that accurate but given cost still like to see it in the 95%+ area and consistent. Otherwise why? Believe it is a great 1st step but not willing to subscribe until working better with some greater accuracy. Also, would nice to have direction accuracy since this is targeted to non pros but golfers who want to improve. Understand that once accuracy and consistency improved with some more info will be worth paying a bit higher subscription price. Probably not something one needs year round but periodically could well be worth it.
Hang in there with a great 1st step. As phones/technology over next couple years improve, will really help in getting this to the desired performance levels.Show lesssnokro
It worked great for a while
It worked great for a while until I tried to sign in on my iPad but it didn’t work. So I tried to sign off on my phone and it still didn’t work so I just said whatever I’ll just sing back in on my phone and then it did the same thing as my iPad did it put me back on the home screen every time I tried to sign in.
Update I figured it out I was being an idiot my bad I love it it works perfectlyShow lessTate Johnsom
