## What is Golfboy?

Golfboy is a golf shot measurement app designed for iPhone users. Since it works with just an iPhone, anyone can use it easily with a simple tripod setup. Using advanced image analysis technology, the app provides real-time measurements for distance, ball speed, launch angle, and club speed. It also features a course simulation function, allowing users to practice in realistic scenarios.
Additional features include a putting mode and automatic swing video recording, offering comprehensive support for various golf training needs.
Leveraging our expertise in professional sports analysis, we developed Golfboy to make golf practice easier, more enjoyable, and more efficient for everyone. We’ve conducted numerous accuracy comparison tests against existing laser-based distance measuring devices, refining the app’s precision to meet real-world demands. Use Golfboy to take your game to the next level!

### 5/5 — Perfect for new Golfers

*2026-08-14, version 21.4*

You need to know your distance for each club and this does it. People will ask how accurate and I don’t need exact I new and fluctuate a lot so generally knowing is good enough for me. Like how it tell you distance and pings when ready for you to hit.

### 2/5 — Yardages

*2026-08-03, version 21.4*

I don’t like this because they say my yardages are 100 yards less than they actually are.

### 5/5 — Awesome!!!

*2026-06-15, version 21.4*

I love the app only suggestion i have is being able to do practice holes. Like par 3s on the 3D side of it.

### 3/5 — Good but overheats

*2026-06-13, version 21.4*

I was able to use the app for 9 shots with my iPhone 15 pro max when I got a warning sign that my phone had overheated and I was unable to continue. I was practicing mid day in 75 degree weather. When it was working it was great but sadly it didn’t last long on my phone. :(

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2026-06-05, version 21.4*

Exceeds my expectations. My setup is backyard net, Golf Boy tripod, paired iPad in 3d mode. And just like that we are on the course! It misses less than 1 percent of shots, but even then what fixes it each time is just a light setting adjustment, since the sun is setting. My teenagers have spent more time on this app than YouTube this week! That alone speaks volumes LOL.

### 3/5 — Almost Great

*2026-06-04, version 21.4*

If you could API to 18Birdies, so data about my practice could help with my on course experience, GolfBoy would be perfect.

### 5/5 — iPhone Lauch Monitor!!!

*2026-05-28*

Fantastic app. Turns your iPhone into a launch monitor and you can pair with an iPad ou screen for 3D simulation .

I just wish we could set our tee distance (ladies,junior, etc) when playing SINGLE player .

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-05-17, version 21.3*

This app has got to be one of the best mobile “launch monitors” you can get. I love the tracking. It’s great for a beginner like me not wanting to put all my money into a simulator and just find out yardage totals of my clubs. Now of course it doesn’t show spin-rate because it’s only using a camera, but for what it is, it works very well! I have also recently used the swing analyzer as well and have been comparing myself to the pros they have on there and that’s helped me realize what I’m doing wrong. However one thing I wish they add in the future is the option to upload my own coaching clips I may find on like TikTok or X of peoples swings and use theirs as a template to compare mine to. As of now you only have two coaches to choose from and can’t upload a swing to work with. Again, for what you’re getting for like $10 a month, it’s wonderful.

### 5/5 — Overall Good

*2026-05-14, version 21.3*

Putting is this 's strong suit. Pretty much dead on against professional setup. The distance data is off by about 20% against professional launch monitor.

### 5/5 — Great practice tool

*2026-05-01, version 21.2*

I love the app. I use a projector and I was pleasantly surprised how realistic it is. I have a net inside of my home and living in AK, this is used 8 months out of the year to stay in golf shape. I also use it in season to warm up before heading to the course. The only thing that’s missing is ball spin rate.
