It is very buggy and buying the full version won’t fix it. Ultimately not worth the purchase but when it works it’s fun. It is not very useful. For days I thought the app was unusable because it would not record or save swings. I figured out yesterday on the range the app requires the jolt of vibration of hitting an actual ball to record a swing. It will not record practice swings or swing trainer aids or soft foam balls. I was able to see an estimated swing path and stats directly on my Watch 9. There was enough change in stats between a shanked shot and a pure shot to be instructional. I had issues setting up the phone to save shots. Maybe if I saved a good shot and bad shot and then compared the stats at home I could get an idea of how they record differently. I don’t think the app is worth your time. ### 3/5 — Could be useful! *2023-12-02* Hi, it could be a great app for me but I would need a couple of improvement. 1st the possibility to record before saving the shot, the club used and the result (missed right, missed left, straight, short for example). 2nd, to be able to use the stats combining the club and the result to see what metric need to be improve or has variability. Food for thoughts! ### 3/5 — So, I have the data - now what? *2023-08-24* Overall the app appears to connect you’re swing data rather well, but none of the help menus or question marks provide any information- just blank screens. Some of the metrics being logged are useless unless there’s some kind of explanation to what they mean, which doesn’t appear to exist in the app today… hopefully they add this info soon! ### 2/5 — Is it Accurate? *2023-08-15, version 2.1* Not sure how accurate this is. I’ve purposely recorded extreme over the top swing outside-inside swings, and obvious inside-outside swings. Regardless, the visual swing-path diagram continues to show an outside inside swing regardless. Makes me wonder if any of the data is accurate. ### 4/5 — Great Data Visualization and Metrics - Need Data Sharing *2023-07-29* This is a great tool for the price. The 3D swing analytics and mapping are excellent given the information required as input. That is the best feature of this app - with only a single input from the accelerometer in the Apple Watch, the application is able to create a pretty accurate and detailed picture of the swing. I only wish there was a way to share the data gathered from the swings with other players or coaches ### 3/5 — Needs some useful manual/documentation *2023-06-29* Tried the free version but quickly realized you need the “purchase” version to make the app useful. Now I see all this swing data and visualization which I truly like but don’t understand most of the data. PLEASE provide some manual which describes the data collected and what it really means.... then it would be truly useful App. Finally it would be even better if the App had an option to “speak” out the data after each swing on request so you could easily use the information during a round without having to keep looking at you watch for info ### 3/5 — Ganz gut *2023-06-26* Hallo zusammen, Eigentlich eine tolle App aber etwas Dokumentation wäre von Nöten. Stellenweise sollte erklärt werden was der einzelne Wert bedeutet und was z.B. Standard werte wären. ### 2/5 — Works less than half of the time *2023-06-19, version 2.1* Does not register most swings, when it does work it is helpful. 🤷🏻‍♀️ ### 2/5 — Failed to Save *2023-05-20* While I like the prgram when it works I am getting the "Failed to Save" message too often. This means I can't watch the swing shape which is why I purchased the "premium" option. It recommends I reboot my watch (which I have done) to get the feature back. I have done this twice and today got the message again. What gives? ### 4/5 — Great if accurate *2023-05-12, version 2.1* Would be better if it had more info on what each metric means. What’s good and what’s bad. What we should be striving for, etc. It would also be nice if it had a few pro swing path and metrics examples so we could see how we compare. ### 2/5 — Accuracy? *2023-02-24, version 2.1* Most interested in swing path. Doubt accuracy of information. Does not seem to accurately capture “inside-out” vs “outside-in”. Disappointing. ### 1/5 — インストールしてみたが *2022-11-11* Apple Watch側のアプリを起動し、「始めます」でスイングして、スイング後に「End Session」を押しました Apple Watch、iPhoneのアプリ、どちらでも何も起こらない 1600円の課金をしないと、何の役にも立たないアプリ？ それとも、1600円を払っても何も変わらない？ iPhoneアプリのチュートリアルも、時計の右側を着用する、の意味が分かりません 写真では左腕に装着してるけど、右手に着けるの？ とにかく、理解出来ないので、おすすめは出来ません ### 1/5 — なにこれ *2022-10-28* まるで使えない ### 4/5 — Does a good job for what’s possible *2022-08-14* Have to pay the $10 to see the swing but it’s worth it. Recreates the swing path well. I took the leap of faith with the $10 in app purchase, but it’s “just $10”, and it seems to be worth the $10. It’s on a $150+ smartwatch after all. To the developer: If you’re looking for better download to purchase conversion, try to give customers a “trial” or regulated amount of swings to see the premium stuff in action. Like “5 premium swings a day” or “First 15 swings get free premium”. My only hesitation to purchase was that I was worried the swing mapping would be poor, but after purposefully doing wacky swings and club releases, I could see you made a good tracker. ### 1/5 — No actual demo or tutorial *2022-07-11, version 2.1* So I downloaded this thing to be able be able to test the product before purchasing it but there’s actually no demo mode and not really a tutorial. You have to purchase it to do anything with it. Thanks but no thanks. You could give X amount if recorded swings for us to test it out. ### 1/5 — Not tracking my swing on the app *2022-06-06, version 2.1* It’s not tracking the swing on the app. It’s tracking on the watch but not the app. I’m a premium member and paid $9.99 to get the fetcher for the app and what do you know another bogus app where there probably no refund. ### 2/5 — Seems like it’s not being updated *2022-05-02* I just got this app to see my swing Pat he and stuff! Just some basic stuff, couldn’t see the actual swing till you purchase the premium version! I go back to look at my swing and hit play and the animation does nothing! It starts to play then stops as soon as it starts! I have to slide the dot over to see the motion! Definitely disappointed in that! Not sure if there’s a new update coming but it need it bad! This app has a lot of potential! Also, the angles also changes, sometimes it swings the arm in the right POV, then the next it’s backwards or side to side! I feel like I’ve wasted $9.99! Was really looking forward to using this on my range session and short game! Is it something I’m missing? ### 1/5 — Dont bother *2022-02-27* Hand speed reads much higher then other apps. Told me I was swinging at 30mph+ which is unrealistic for me. No free trail to even test the other features because they know people won’t purchase when they’ve realised how poor the app is. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Left handed *2024-03-25, version 2.1* How do I switch it to left handed I’ve had so much trouble to changing it the settings gives me an error message smh. ### 1/5 — Useless!! *2024-03-14* App is not accurate with grip- says strong grip when I actually have a relatively weak grip. Also not very accurate with swing path. Shows way inside - like 10° inside of what the trackman will show. I ended up over the top and couldn’t figure out what was going on until I compare the numbers. Hasn’t been updated in years so they’re just keeping it live to collect money but doing nothing to keep it useful or accurate. Wish I hadn’t paid for this! ### 1/5 — No aporta ninguna información *2023-12-28, version 2.1* El botón de supuestas instrucciones no funciona. Una pena porqué no estaría mal si supiera lo que significa cada dato. ### 1/5 — Don’t buy premium *2023-12-26, version 2.1* Path measurement is off by 20 degrees. Grip measurement is off too. There is no way to calibrate if your grip is different to what it expects. ### 1/5 — Dont waste your time *2023-11-28, version 2.1* You get nothing until u pay then the app fails to deliver anything worthwhile ### 1/5 — Stupid *2023-10-15, version 2.1* Paid 10 bucks and there’s no way to start a session. ### 1/5 — Good idea but no manual. *2023-08-02* The data is interesting and you can learn something from heuristics with it. But there isn’t a manual so you have no idea how the various data points are defined. For example grip angle seems to flip between weak and strong and I have no idea why. Where is that value derived from? Throughout the swing or only the start? Typical developer not wanting to write documentation. The UI doesn’t speak for itself as much as you might believe. ### 1/5 — Only works with Premium *2023-06-23* The app says it shows your tempo, but it only shows if you pay for Premium Membership ### 1/5 — Not useful *2023-03-18* Severely limited use, even in premium version. The data is nothing comparable to trackman type analysis and is not helpful. It feels like it’s put together by people who don’t play/understand golf. The free version is useless and the the premium version no better. Save your money. ### 1/5 — Zero features *2023-01-16* A total waste of money I’m afraid. The app gives you some data, but there is no context to help you interpret it and zero features beyond the raw numbers they give you and a very basic visual of your swing plane. Shame, because if the developers had bothered, they could have made it useful ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app w bugs *2023-07-17* I just bought the premium version and love the insights and the swing detection it has to offer, however I’ve run into a few bugs that Id like the developers to know. Firstly, when you press the question button on a saved swing right next to the button where you can select which clucb you swing with, I’m assuming it was going to explain what individual sections meant, it just goes to a blank page. Secondly, after a swing is detected and its information displayed, you can swing without saving or canceling and the watch does make the sound that it detected a new swing, but it still displays the first swing’s information. ### 5/5 — IPad Support *2021-11-12, version 2.1* The analyzer is very good. I would like if you can support the iPad because the resolution is dramatically better. Thank you in advance for your support. ### 5/5 — Suggestion... *2018-10-08, version 1.3* Would like the stored data be able to export into one view in excel. ### 5/5 — I didn’t need stats to prove how bad my swing was... *2018-08-06, version 1.3* But now I have it! And so far in two days, this amateur golfer has self-diagnosed one or two major problems and hopefully will alight upon a cure for them one day soon. ### 5/5 — If you own an iwatch then you don't need the competitors separate hardware *2017-07-12, version 1.3* How dumb is it it have an iwatch and a swing detection unit as well. The watch has all of the same things built in. Works like a charm. ### 5/5 — 软件不错 *2017-07-08* 为什么手机没有历史挥杆记录？没有记录 ### 5/5 — Really useful *2017-03-19, version 1.3* Lots of options to analyze your swing and compare to the pros. Very use friendly at the same time. ### 5/5 — Perfect Companion *2017-03-19, version 1.3* Highly recommend this app. It is especially useful if your coach uses Apple Watch too to allow your swing on your phone to be shared instantly. Please add more models! ### 5/5 — Long time user *2017-03-18, version 1.3* "Love this product, long time user. The newest update does crash but they will have a bug fix in the coming days based on previous experience " ### 5/5 — Rename option *2017-03-18, version 1.3* "Great app. Love the new updateOnly thing missing is the ability to rename the swing shown after I upload a swing to My Locker. Simple fix.......right? " --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
