Important features now behind a subscription wall
I have owned a GC quad since 2017 and I recently upgraded to a quad max. Paid for all the lifetime software. I may have as much as $30,000 sunk into their ecosystem. Their latest iPad app had some really nice features which I was happily using for several months.
HOWEVER, their recent “upgrade” is now a DOWNGRADE. Original features have been stripped out to force users into paid subscriptions. Sadly, despite top-notch hardware, the company has become greedy and wants to squeeze more dollars out of enthusiasts. BUYER BEWARE. YOU MAY BE BETTER OFF WITH CHEAPER HARDWARE IF YOU’RE GOING TO HAVE TO PAY FOR A SUBSCRIPTION EITHER WAY.
Major Golf websites are already aware of this and it is well documented.

Do NOT install v2.16
Foresight Sports screws over GC3 and GCQuad owners with its new Foresight+ App.
I’ve been using v2.15 for some time and recently, my iPad Pro unfortunately, auto updated to v2.16. Now features like club dispersion, Drill Library, and the ability to save unlimited sessions are behind an annual subscription.
When I purchased my GC3 in October of 2021 at a premium over a Bushnell LaunchPro, it was because I wouldn’t be paying for any software updates. This is BS and Foresight Sports knows it.

Difficult to connect at times
Difficult to connect at times. I find I have to quit all other apps on the iOS device and needs good iOS Internet connection to complete connection to the launch monitor. Unfortunately, sometimes when you’re out in the field, the Internet connection is not the best and this makes the whole connection process difficult at times. Once connected, works fairly well.

Nothing works any more
Now they want me to pay for annual subscription after paying over $20K for Quadmax with putting data, now I can’t use drills or tags even though I have the Quadmax - what kind of shady practices are these? It was all working last week
Please consider adding Estimated Face-to-Path or Launch Direction-to-Path in a future app update!
I love my Bushnell Launch Pro, but I would really like to see Foresight add a Calculated/Estimated Face-to-Path metric for Launch Pro and GC3 users.
The Launch Pro already measures Club Path and Horizontal Launch Angle, so it should be possible to provide a useful estimated relationship between the face/launch direction and club path. I completely understand that this would not be the same as the directly measured Face Angle available on the GCQuad/QuadMAX, and it could be clearly labeled “Estimated” or “Calculated.”
For golfers working on swing direction and face control, this would be an incredibly useful practice and coaching metric.

Practice challenge
Wonderful way to focus it when practicing. Practice with a purpose
The best Customer service
Anytime with a new product set an app is so much difficult but once you get to figure it out, it’s amazing and with the help of the foresight Tech group and customer service. They made it so easy for me to set up a launch monitor. I would highly recommend using this company for Golf technology they are the best.

Will not let me download FSX PRO on my iPad. Says not allowed in this region. United Kingdom
Ball finding dialog annoying
App is better and great for quick practice but annoying to block until another ball in place before I can review previous shot.
Good but good be great
Great app overall and the data quality from the Launch Pro is outstanding, but there are two features that would significantly improve the user experience.
1. Please add ball normalization to the Bag Mapping/MyBag feature. Many of us perform bag mapping sessions at outdoor ranges using limited-flight or standard range balls. Since Shot Analysis already supports normalization, it would be extremely helpful to allow users to select a “From Ball” and “To Ball” during Bag Mapping so distances can be normalized to the player’s gamer ball.
2. Please allow users to save default ball normalization settings. Currently, in Shot Analysis, the app requires the user to reselect the “From Ball” and “To Ball” every session. It would be much more convenient to save a default preference (for example, Range Ball → Chrome Tour X) that automatically applies to future sessions.
These two enhancements would make outdoor practice and bag gapping substantially more accurate and convenient for Launch Pro users.

Response from developer
Thank you for the detailed review, and we're glad the Launch Pro is working well for you. These are great requests and both of these are already on our roadmap. We're looking forward to bringing them to a future update. Thanks for taking the time to explain how you practice and map your bag outdoors. Feedback like this helps us prioritize what to build next.
Love it
I am by no means a pro. But can still manage to use the data and video to help me make positive change. Thank you!
A Much Better App
Foresight’s hardware has always been some of the very best, but their software has been some of the most disappointing.
This app finally gets Foresight close to the competition that has leapfrogged them a while ago. The graphics are better, the drills are useful but they could improve still.
The range is better but can use some more customization options for data display.
Overall a good update!

Be careful
I’m an old athlete, spent too much time doing sports and not paying attention to technology advancing around me. I have a BLP and used to connect in the backyard to an iPad and hit into a net using FSX PRO. I had occasional connection issues but usually once I was up and running I was good. I was told by technical support to download the new foresight app, now I’m having major connectivity issues. Sometimes I’m on and 3 swings, disconnected, sometimes 8 swings. I once had a good run going, went to switch clubs and disconnected me again. Since I have no room inside and I live in a state that golf is seasonal, I have to use it a bit to get my money’s worth and definitely am not.

Not the experience we are hoping for! We would like us to take a closer look at your specific setup, please reach out to our support team at <https://help.foresightsports.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=7815595263635> with "RE37348" in the subject line.
Love it
Apps fantastic!!
Mobile Options: Not Impressed
Routinely disconnects and feels like like 2010s tech or a printer when it comes to updates, reliability and breadth of info being displayed. FSX Apps on an iPhone aren’t usable because of the notching on the device, iPad being the same experience. Then there’s how many apps that do how many things? What’s the distinct purpose for each? Connection options are also limited… in the day and age we are in, the UI side needs to be better for the expense of the platform

Thank you for the feedback. The experience you're describing doesn't match our current app, which features a fully redesigned UI and doesn't have the notch issues you've mentioned. So it's possible you may be on a much older version or legacy software. If you'd like us to take a closer look at your specific setup, please reach out to our support team at <https://help.foresightsports.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=7815595263635|https://help.foresightsports.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=7815595263635> with "RE37261" in the subject line.
New version 2.14 is much better
The recent updates have really improved this app - particularly the addition of the range view. I definitely favour this over the FSX Pro app, and if I just want to do a quick practice session, I will use this over booting up my PC to launch FSX 2020.
Is there any way you could also add in Total distance in for info? (Just based on standard settings)

Frustrating bugs
The functionality can be really good when it works. It drops out quite a lot having to reconnect to the launch monitor. Also I have an iPhone SE device and it doesn’t render at all and clearly never been tested as once connected to the monitor there is no way to get to the submit button so is very frustrating as I don’t want to have to take my iPad to the range.

They really did it.
This app went from basically unusable to indispensable. I love the drills and quick range. Keep cooking guys!
Shot analysis
Not easy to delete a bad shot when gathering data for a club. I was told I could swipe and delete the particular data while in session, but that option is not available.
Make Perfect Practice Fun
…Foresights new Training Facility App takes practicing to a whole new level with Tour accurate instant numbers. Dial in your short game, practice pin placements for tournaments, see club paths, disbursements, and launch data all on your phone. From everyday hackers, junior golfers, elite golfers, college golfers and pro golfers practicing just got FUN again.
