Cool Idea - Needs Improvements
App is really cool, and I love being able to overlay my shot history onto the course, but two things make it more annoying than it needs to be.
1) When you draw in OOB, trees, etc it doesn’t save it to the hole. I spent about an hour drawing in boundaries for everything on my home course, only to realize after it doesn’t save it 🤦♂️
2) When you do get everything drawn in you can then drag your target line around to find your optimal strokes gained. Ideally the app would have an option to show your optimal target line, instead of playing “guess and check” the whole time.
Overall cool app, but for the price tag needs to be a little more fleshed out. I paid for a year, so I’ll have to see where they’re at a year from now when it’s time to renew.

Thanks so much for this feedback! Really appreciate it. Sorry you had that experience with the drawing. Obviously it would be nice if everything saved. We’re working on it. Appreciate you grabbing a one year subscription. To make the most of it I suggest the following, 1) Track your stats via Round Entry 2) Upload your launch monitor data occasionally 3) Use the course preview with your shot data + the Strokes Gained Predictor to prep for your rounds at new courses 4) Use the app on course to quickly pick a smart target in the same way you’d use a yardage book. Please reach out to us if you need some support!

“Subscribe for strokes gained”
Response from developer
Thanks for your interest in Shot Pattern. It sounds like you were excited about the app, and then disappointed to learn that many of the features that make Shot Pattern different than traditional GPS apps are paid features. We try to walk new users through the unique features of Shot Pattern when they first download the app so that you understand all the value you’re getting if you choose to subscribe. We also offer a free trial so that you can experience all the paid features before you make a decision about whether you want to buy.
Good but Missing Basics

Thanks for the feedback! While we currently don’t prompt scorekeeping during your round as a way to limit distractions, you can enter full shot data after the round and get shot by shot strokes gained, advanced stats, and shareable scorecards. Elevation changes, wind direction, and more are all part of the road map!
