## What is Golf Swing Tempo Analyzer?

Measure and train your golf tempo with Apple Watch by TrackMyGolf!

Back in June 2015 at Apple's developer conference, Apple announced the Ping tempo app which uses the watch's accelerometer to measure tempo. Like many golfers, we have been waiting for this app for a long time. We are finally fed up with waiting and decide to develop it ourselves. 

This app uses your Apple Watch's accelerometer/gyroscope to measure your tempo. You can compete with others on the longest streak of golf swings with a perfect tempo. The app also offer statistics on percentage of slow, fast, or perfect tempo swings, so you know what to work on. An ideal tempo has 3:1 ratio, meaning your back swing should be 3 times as long as your down swing. 

If you want to measure your swing tempos (and more) in real games, you can also use our golf GPS + Scorecard app which tracks your swing on the golf course, in addition to telling you GPS distances to 35,000+ golf courses and track your shots automatically.

This is designed for Watch OS3, with a much more robust swing detection algorithm. No more limitations on swing detection like in version 1.x. 

Note: If no swing is detected for any reason, right after the swing, you may be prompted to log the trace. Click log, then email us support@vimo.co with the time of logging, and we will take a look.

** Watch OS3 is required for this app. If it is not showing on your watch, go to Apple Watch app on Phone, choose "General->Software Update" and follow instructions. **

This app integrates with Apple HealthKit. It records your golf practice session as a golf workout.

### 1/5 — Purchased swings don’t work

*2025-10-15*

The app worked great for the first 10 free swings. I purchased 6000, but keep getting notifications that I need to purchase swings.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on latest Apple Watch OS.

*2025-03-03, version 2.9*

Since the updates to Apple Watch OS which removed the force press function on the watch I can’t start the app to use it. So the 1000 swings I bought are worthless now.

### 3/5 — Pay for swing?

*2024-03-01*

The app does it job but will miss or not read swings occasional swings. I can live with that. I really don’t like that that there is a cap on the number of swings that I can take and then I must pay again to get the app to work again.

### 2/5 — Horrible

*2024-01-06*

Made me lay for more swings but cool app but still is stupid you hve to pay

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-07-04*

I purchased 1000 swings, and the app will not register a single swing. Waste of money.

### 1/5 — No good

*2023-06-25, version 2.9*

picks up swings very randomly.  Very frustrating

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with ULTRA

*2023-06-08*

Used to work with the regular series 7 watch. Now that I have the Ultra, it is unusable. A wasted buy. 

Stay away if you own an APPLE WATCH ULTRA

### 1/5 — Inconsistent Reeves or no read it all

*2023-02-16*

For faster swing speeds this app seems to have a lot of instances where it doesn’t read any swing at all meaning it comes back as if you never made a swing. Overly expensive but a good concept in theory.

### 1/5 — Rarely works. Locks up constantly. Waste

*2023-01-13*

Really mad after paying.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money!

*2022-11-10*

Picked up the app and enjoyed using it. Bought a package of swings and immediately stops detecting swings. Useless.
