Needs Apple Watch Integration
I received the Player+ speaker for Father’s Day and was really happy with how it performed for the most part. The only 2 things that I’d deduct stars for are #1, the lack of integration with Apple Watch. Most golf apps work with Apple Watch and this allows for a much more seamless round. I ended up not using any of the premium features because if I took my phone in my pocket, the music would start cutting out around the greens, so I just didn’t input anything on the phone. If this was doable via my Apple Watch, it would have been 100% more functional. #2 is the battery life. It’s rated for 10 hours, but we played 1 round, lasting just around 4 hours and the Player + showed 25% batter left.
For the most part, this was great, but longer battery life and Apple Watch integration would make it dang near perfect! I just don’t see why I would keep the premium subscription after the trial without the Apple Watch integration.Developer Response
Hello thank you so much for the feedback here. Very excited to share we are launching the new Blue Tees GAME Apple watch this week! Please check for an app update prior to this weekend. Please message us at michael@blueteesgolf.com for feedback on the initial version. We will be adding many features but starting with F/C/B GPS, scoring, shot tracking, hazard distances, simple score view, advanced score and more.Enjoying the speaker.
Speaker and the GPS work well for me. It’s cool a pull up golf courses from around the world. I’m still working on understanding scoring through the app. Pulling my phone out while playing to keep score takes away from the experience.
Battery life would be an issue but if the cart has a USB plug-in, that issue is resolved. There is no Apple Watch function. Turn my Apple Watch into a golf tool I can use on the course and blue tees will be five stars. I’m locked in for the year. If there is no Apple Watch addition I will look at some of the other options on the market.Developer Response
Hello thank you for your feedback. Yes Apple watch will be available in the June app release. We have it ready and are nearly complete testing. I've been using it during testing. It's a very convenient and nice experience. Please stay tuned!Info is great, interface needs work
I have used a large number of golf tracking apps and deduced to give Blue Tees a try after getting the speaker as a gift this Christmas. Overall it’s okay, but makes some features harder to do than needed.
It’s easy to input score for a hole and putts, but adding info about fairways and greens hit is in a completely different flow. There is also no way to adjust a round after you start one. Played last week and on the first tee the group I got paired with selected to play the Blues when I had setup the app to use the whites. No way to correct it during the round other than to end the round and create a new one.
The hole fly over and distance details are great. And shot tracking is far easier than other apps. But scoring is clunky and needs work.Developer Response
Hello Jesmith thank you very much for this feedback. You are right about scoring, we can reduce the friction here. We have a new improved scoring experience that will be going live this month based on feedback like this. I think that is great feedback about being able to change the tee box after the start of the round. We will get this functionality added within the next app release. Regarding the ability to add about fairways and greens hit, are you using the lockscreen shortcut or within the app to add this information? Please message me here directly michael@blueteesgolf.com
