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 ### 2/5 — Keeps missing my swings, frustrating. *2022-06-19* Frustrating ### 2/5 — Doesn’t record all swings *2022-06-09* First trial period using the Tempo app it worked great but now after purchasing 1000 swings the app is recording less and less swings. At first it recorded 9 out 10 then 5 out of 10 currently 3 out of 10 swings. Tried closing the app turning off watch and phone but no improvement. Tried a tighter watch band but no improvement. Worried about deleting the app and losing my purchase. ### 4/5 — 삭제후 스윙개수도 사라졌습니다. *2022-01-05* I reinstall this app. My swing point is gone. About try little 1,000 swing most 950 left last month ### 1/5 — The app does not record the swing *2021-01-13* The app does not record the swing on the iwatch more often than not. Moreover, the readings are not accurate. Very disappointed with this app. ### 1/5 — NOT REALLY FREE *2020-04-27, version 2.9* limited swings free then outrageous $6.99 for 10 swings ### 3/5 — It’s OK *2019-09-21* It has trouble picking up your swing. Customer service is nonexistent. ### 3/5 — Misleading *2019-09-16* Not really free. 10 swings are free then you have to pay for more. Just kind of disappointing. Haven’t gotten to actually try it yet. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2019-08-04, version 2.9* Doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Never worked. *2019-06-25* Downloaded and took to course. Said ready to go on my Apple Watch 4. Never recorded a single swing. Uninstalled. ### 2/5 — Quirky interface; misses swings *2019-06-11* Great concept, and some of my complaints are Apple Watch related rather than the ap. However, I hit ~40 balls this morning and even on the “swing now” prompt, the ap caught only 11 of the swings. ### 2/5 — It does not work well for lefty. *2019-04-14* Plz add an option about this. ### 1/5 — POOR *2018-09-15, version 2.9* I can never get this apps to work!! Would not recommend at all. ### 4/5 — Rarely ever works *2018-09-03* It used to work well but for the last year or longer the app rarely ever picks up a swing. I don’t know what they are doing to fix it. I suspect nothing. ### 1/5 — Free *2018-07-09, version 2.9* Free not! ### 1/5 — Keep going *2018-05-21* I don’t give bad reviews, but this app earned it. It’s a waste of time. The hook to draw you into the subscription couldn’t count the swings I took. ### 1/5 — Not reading swings *2018-04-18* Not reading swing. App has only read 7 out of 35 swings. Will request refund. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — Watch issues *2021-06-08* Bought 1000 swings and my watch won’t register that I have them. Tried everything to pair the app to the watch and nothing worked. Sent the app creator a detailed message with screenshots of the issue and no response and no refund. ### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht und Geld abzocke *2021-04-11* Habe 1000 Schwünge gekauft für 6,99€ aber es funktioniert nicht. Habe die App gelöscht und wieder installiert, da ich dachte das könnte den Fehler beheben. Jetzt ist mein Guthaben weg und es funktioniert trotzdem nicht. Habe ein iPhone 11 und Apple Watch. Also daran kann es nicht liegen. Schwünge kaufen ist eine sehr fragwürdiges Marketing. Lernt von meiner Dummheit und kauft auf gar keinen Fall Schwünge!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Mr A Ruane *2019-08-15, version 2.9* Fantastic app 😁 ### 5/5 — Does not work properly *2019-04-30* This app poorly syncs with watch and I cannot view any analytics. Very ineffective for what I got. Scrap and redesign ### 5/5 — Wish Ping app is like this *2018-03-15* So disappointed with the other tempo app. This one works and it is free, so amazing. Must try, it has helped my game greatly. I bought their swing analyzer app too, also super helpful. ### 5/5 — Improved my game *2017-03-19, version 2.6* Having the right rhythm is the key to a good golf swing, this app gives me a at-a-glance view of my problem and it tells me if I am on the right track. I recommend this to all. You should try the developer's other swing analyzer app too. ### 5/5 — Shot detection works great *2016-04-18, version 1.3* This is the only useful Apple Watch app I have ever found. detects every one of my swing, amazing... ### 5/5 — Nothing in Golf is FREE! *2016-03-27, version 1.3* Saw the first review and disagree 100%. If you want FREE swing analysis then drive the 30/40/60 minutes to your local Golfsmith/PGA Store and drop $3/6/9 worth of gas doing it, assuming you can find an empty bay. I have been using this app to GREAT effect, a few teething issues at first but now that support have sorted things I'm very happy with it. **NOTE** When using, remember to stand perfectly still for 1-2 seconds before beginning your shot swing. Continuous movement will have the app thinking you're still making practice swings. Once watch screen wakes up for the shot, you have 25 second to take the shot (remembering the 1-2 second rule). This is what I've learned from the support team and so I'm passing on to anyone else. ### 5/5 — Great app *2016-03-17, version 1.2* Great app wish you could purchase an unlimited swings per month or year ### 5/5 — Nice *2016-03-07* Good ~ ### 5/5 — Excellent tempo trainer *2016-02-14, version 1.2* Great tool to help with a consistent tempo to your swing. Helps tempo so you can work on finer details of your game ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2016-02-11* Great app, very easy to use.
