Finding the way to clip the library video I haven’t found yet. Prob #1. Coach now will not work without being connected to wifi. Locks up every time (my problem?). #2. Moving camera video to Coach now at home is ok. Editing it from there not so much. ### 5/5 — The Best Virtual Coaching App! *2026-04-02, version 7.18* Love this APP. Been a user since 2017. I do not teach without it. Now making more as a virtual coach. ### 4/5 — Pretty good… *2026-04-01, version 7.18* easy to use, love that you can comment draw on screen show corrections and create more than one platform for commenting . The only thing is I wish that you could hear the background stuff when video recording or voice over. Overall great. If that could be changed it would make this app 5 stars. ### 5/5 — 1st lesson *2026-03-29, version 7.18* Lori was so wonderful at explaining things in a Manner that I could understand (very new to golf) thank you, can’t wait for Our continued growth. ### 3/5 — Lesson booking tool *2026-03-28, version 7.18* Overall, the lesson booking tool is not great. I’ve gotten multiple errors while trying to book a lesson. Also, if I click on a lesson time and then cancel out of that screen the lesson time disappears, even though I didn’t book it, which doesn’t make any sense. ### 5/5 — Use This! *2026-03-24, version 7.18* This app is a world class coaching tool. ### 5/5 — Great Coaching Tool *2026-03-21, version 7.18* Just started this app but I’m really impressed with it. Nice to have the audio as well as video. ### 5/5 — First one *2026-03-18, version 7.18* Was great to get back ### 4/5 — Great app, great customer relations *2026-03-17, version 7.18* Truly, I’ve had such a pleasant experience using this application. They’ve been patient and urgent with me anytime I’ve had troubles. I wish their notification system worked better (being able to filter which type of notifications you see or don’t see). The comment responses back always get buried. Making communication with athletes one way if you run a team larger than 5-8 at a time. ### 5/5 — Out of the bunker! 🥳 *2026-02-18, version 7.17* Video feedback is fantastic.. I just have to refer back to recap and it’s definitely helped improve my game. 😃 ### 5/5 — My main communications tech with my run clients *2026-02-14, version 7.16.1* This has been my main communications portal for many years and a critical part of my remote coaching infrastructure. ### 3/5 — Video uploads *2026-02-03, version 7.16.1* Uploading videos tend to be a back and forth issue either coach cannot see my messages or uploads or I am not allowed to see the videos he uploads for me. But other than that a great app to keep up with my progress ### 5/5 — Progress *2026-01-09, version 7.16* I feel the difference already working with coach Bill. I’m looking forward to more sessions ### 5/5 — Zu unübersichtlich *2026-01-01* Jedesmal langes Suchen ### 5/5 — It’s good frfr *2025-12-12, version 7.14.2* Yh ### 5/5 — Jenny Rodenhurst *2025-10-18, version 7.10.3* Thank-you some great points ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Golf student *2026-07-01, version 7.24.1* I find the upload video note difficult to follow ### 1/5 — Trash *2026-06-30, version 7.24.1* This app sucks nothing like Hudl the player icon is horrible ### 1/5 — Video *2026-01-07, version 7.15* Video would not play until multiple uploads. ### 1/5 — Can’t control video or pics on Apple Watch. *2025-10-01, version 7.10* Prior to new Apple Watch os you could control video and camera functionality on your Apple Watch. Since watch OS 26 update, those features are no longer supported. Hopefully a fix is coming. ### 1/5 — Fix this *2025-06-22, version 7.2* Used to be great. Now it doesn’t upload my already cropped videos. Now I have to crop my videos twice? ### 1/5 — I *2025-05-12, version 6.36.2* Can’t save videos you annotated. ### 1/5 — Terribly frustrating waste of money. *2025-03-11, version 6.35* I’ve used other coaching apps and this app is by far the worst I’ve used. It crashes and freezes constantly. Crucial features like the video library have disappeared (so my work has disappeared) - uploading videos takes forever - it’s like their server is ultra slow. The video does not have stabilisation, and the app does no work in the background so I’ll shoot athletes on the hill and out my phone in my pocket but the vids only upload if I have the app open… so it sucks the battery life out of my phone. High recommend you do not bother with CoachNow. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-03-08, version 6.34* Videos don’t play correctly. No help from support ### 1/5 — Very poor *2025-01-12, version 6.29* No good lots of glitches ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2024-10-21, version 6.23* It offers nothing of value other than a place for video. Training heroic has and will always be the better platform for Coach and athletes. Don’t waste your time or money on this app. Mic drop ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-08-20, version 7.26.1* Great app for analysing swings! ### 5/5 — F *2026-08-14, version 7.26.1* A ### 5/5 — Love the app *2026-08-13, version 7.26.1* Had a great lesson with Sean Dougherty and love this application ### 5/5 — Pops. *2026-07-23, version 7.25* In 3 short years, LS has progressed from golf beginner trying to break 100, to breaking 80. That’s some good coaching!!!! Best yet to come! ### 5/5 — Coach Now Review *2026-07-08, version 7.24.2* I found this app to be very helpful and allowed me to better communicate with my coach and reflect back on things I learned in my lesson. I also love the video features. ### 5/5 — Rhfgbhggvghewweqwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm *2026-07-08, version 7.24.2* I don’t say ble ble ble ### 5/5 — From Cordelia *2026-06-29, version 7.24.1* Hi Tyler also this is the best gym in the world ### 5/5 — Great learning tool *2026-06-11, version 7.23* Coach now review ### 5/5 — Coming back *2026-06-01, version 7.22* I’ve been recovering from a major cardiac surgery for the last three months. Im gradually able to start practicing again. CoachNow and my teacher’s skilled instruction give me a road map from short game to full swing with the videos and narration from two tears of previous instruction. It’s been a huge benefit to my coming back with good habits at my own pace. ### 5/5 — Main issues sorted *2026-04-03, version 7.18* The lesson identified all the bad issues that was causing all my problems. Look forward to the next lesson in a month’s time. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
