Absolute Masterful app

This app has raised the bar quite high and put golf app on another level with the videos of every shots.
Absolute must have for all golf fans.

Best sports app I own

Honestly, I was shocked when I opened these reviews to see a 3.9/5 average. Maybe I’ve just gotten lucky, but this app has honestly been the most well designed app I have ever used, and I will continue to use it until it is no longer offered. This is the only review I have ever left for an app, if that says anything about how well designed it is.

Amazing

A lot of thought and a lot of work has gone into this app. It’s excellent, well done.

“Awful Streaming and Broadcast”

The information on the Masters App. is excellent. The broadcast or streaming part of the App is the worst I have ever seen. The coverage is just awful. It’s like it’s produced by a second grader. The streaming is horrendously bad. Besides all of that, the live broadcast seems to be on some sort of loop. It repeats over and over. The quality is just awful all the way around. The perfection achieved by Augusta National is legendary and I can only imagine what the club and tournament leadership would think about this terrible representation of the best golf tournament in the world. Please fire everyone involved with this travesty and start from scratch with a company that knows what they’re doing.

2019 version is incredible

This new version is great. No longer am I at the mercy of what the television directors what me to watch. Want to check out the amateurs? You can. Got a favorite lesser star? No problem. Don’t get me wrong, absolutely nothing substitutes for being there. But this is the next best thing.

Terrible Streaming Experience

Can’t watch the video for more than a minute without the stream stopping, looping or stuttering. I’m getting 100+ mbps down with a ping of less than 20ms, so it’s not my connection. It’s the app. The only reason for 2 stars is the great shot tracking feature. Great feature, but can’t watch a whole round that way. What’s the point of feature groups if the stream of their round is unwatchable? I. The future, quit locking down coverage and let someone like golf channel cover the morning, since you can’t figure out how to stream in the app.

New player Track is amazing!

The new features in Masters App 2019 are very well done. A new feature called “track” allows you to follow any player or group around the course in a map mode and then watch video of each of their shots. You can even put undulation arrows on the greens so you can see what putt your player is in for. All of this really helps feel the course and understand what the players are thinking as they make their shots. Brilliant!

Live video stream not working well

Overall very disappointing. The video stream keeps looping back to the same shot multiple times. The entire stream even looped back the the first tee shot of the featured group which I had watched an hour earlier.

Also multiple audio feeds keep playing over each other. At first it was the feed from the driving range live stream and featured groups and now I don’t even know where have the audio is coming from.

Exceptionally well done app for the best tournament in golf!

I don’t often leave reviews, but I have to give a huge shout out to the developers and visionaries behind the creation of this app. The layout, graphics, and presentation of all the Masters content is exceptionally well done. Within is a perfect balance of coverage and interviews with players, as well as wonderful articles and a podcast that sums up the allure of Augusta. And of course, the HD video coverage of the tournament, par 3 contest, and driving range. I also love the live leaderboard (it looks just like the real one when you turn your iPad sideways). I think some of the content could be organized a bit better to be a little easier to access, but this is a near perfect app. Thank you!

What happened this year guys?

When it comes to the Masters, I have come to expect a wonderful app experience based on previous years. I have been very disappointed this year. No iPhone X full screen support? Not great. Can’t watch Spieth, the leader play but can see an amateurs every shot? Mind boggling. Why can’t I watch a replay of the first round the evening when it finishes? Doesn’t that seem like an appropriate time, since people work during the week?

Update: More bugs. I touched Mickelson’s name and instead of his score card I got all 4 of his to show at once one on top of the other. Could not close it and had to restart. Why is there a bar on iPhone X when I play video, even in landscape? Why is there 4K coverage of 15&16 but only for direct tv? The 4K Apple TV supports Dolby vision and HDR10.
