What a let down
After so much positivity from Rick and others, I was really hoping for a cheap way to tell how far I hit the ball. Instead it almost never picks up my shot, despite trying time and time again to set it up according to the video. I paid for 1 month premium, was charged, but my account is still not premium and I do not have access to anything. Not like it matters since the app doesn’t work anyways. I WANT MY MONEY BACK.

Inaccurate launch monitor
I have a golf club head speed of 150mph+ and this app says my club head speed is 84-87mph, I compete as a Professional Long Drive competitor, This app is so horrifically inaccurate it’s not even funny, Would never upgrade it with money.
Worked properly some of the time
Tried the Pro free trial initially. Missed shots occasionally, but more often I experienced lag/misreads in the app. I would take my shot, wait for the confirmation beep, then nothing. "There's no way it didn't read that!" I said as I picked up my phone to recalibrate it, and a few seconds after I picked up my device it would beep and shout out a crazy high carry distance and shot data. I even went as far as grabbing a tape measure from my car to set up my device and range ball perfectly. Great app when it works, needs some improvement, overall a little frustrating.

Wildly Inaccurate
Needed a launch monitor to track shots and get my distance and shot shape dialed in and the range I’m close to is garbage. Since real monitors are $500-$2,000 I figured I’d give it a shot. On iOS with a subscription and this app is wildly inaccurate; it said I was hitting my sand wedge 140 yards, which is pretty close, but then my driver was only going 130??? Save yourself the frustration and just go to your driving range, no matter how bad it is.

What your iPhone is built for!
Super fast iPhone camera set up + powerful iPhone chip + ShotVision app = perfect home launch monitor. Incredible accuracy, lots of useful data and so accessible for the average golfer who doesn’t want to spend massive money on a bespoke launcher. Plus, it shouts out your carry yardage after each shot so you don’t need to keep looking at the screen. I bought the professional version during lockdown and now wouldn’t want to be without it. Well done ShotVision for democratising the launch monitor.

Free but Shows
For a free app this thing is nice in that it tries to do all the right things. That said it’s only useful if the data is accurate and it was not. I’d have clubs going 120 yards on the driving range that it reads at 76 yards. Driver it lands right around the 250 yard mark and it tells me 145. Wedges struggled to get picked up but that’s a flaw I can accept given the setup.
This was with their recommendations of having it a drivers distance away from the ball and 2 feet forward on a golf towel during the afternoon. It just was not accurate at all on yardage.

Works great at my range
I’ve wanted to add data to my range sessions for awhile. I need a monitor that stands ahead of the ball because there is a hill behind the hitting bays at my range. I hit outdoors using yellow range balls. Set up with a tripod was easier than I expected.
Using the app combined with AirPods and an Apple Watch is such a great experience. The distances matched the range markers and flags. The only exception was when I hit a pull shot (an issue I would like to eliminate on my own by not pulling the ball)

I think I figured it out…
When I go to the driving range and when I get a sunbeam to shine in between the camera and the ball, the accuracy and reading falls off. So today I went to the far end of the range were the sun doesn’t reach that area till late in the day. What. A. Difference.
My shots were 10 times more consistent and accurate. I am going to my driver fitting in a couple weeks and we are going to use the trackman and Im going to see if my numbers compare. Now I know a trackman is what it is but if ShotVision can be within the ball park I will be more than ecstatic and back in love with this app.
You have to make sure the camera is 4ft away (length of your driver) AT ALL TIMES.
When going from driver to PW, you have to make sure you adjust the length of where you place the camera relative to where your strike zone is. So either scoot it further up or back depending where you plan on striking the ball.
Also, the makers of this app over the past year have been open and receptive to any suggestions and after today I am completely satisfied.
Also, I use the new iPhone 13 Pro Max.

Great golf app!
Great golf app especially compared to other launch monitors out there for many times the cost. I found setup & placement to be easy - after watching their short setup video (2 mins). I have a mini tripod setup and ensured the mat was not shaking the setup. Out of 50 shots it recorded 48 - better than I expected. Great insight stats for folks interested in that part of the game. Note - it does use a decent amount of phone battery (1 year old iphoneSE) went from 90% to 50% after 45 mins.

Just purchased
Setup was as per the instructions, out of 20 shots, 3 registered. Using a 9 iron, had my distance over 250yds, not good. Any tips to rectify would be appreciated!! Bought a 1 month subscription, I assume that does not auto renew??
