Once I did get it connected. It was night time. I set it up on my back patio in a well lit area and would not track a swing. Recommend a night mode for the recognition of the camera. Every time my club would move. It would tell me shot not recognizable. If it does better tomorrow in the day time I’ll change my rating. ### 1/5 — Awful *2026-08-16* Takes ages to find the ball and 90% of the time says it can’t detect the shot, and every time it is in the 15/30 yard range even though it is a really good shot. Awful app but the concept is really good. If you fixed this I would use. -WOULD NOT RECOMMEND- ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2026-08-03* Kept turning off. Tracked one shot on an hour session. But said I used two clubs?! Don’t waste your time. Thank god I had a free trial and didn’t waste my money ### 1/5 — Doesn’t support SE 3rd gen *2026-08-01* App Store indicates my phone is supported but when I launched the app then it said the SE 3rd gen not supported. And only place indicating not supported is buried on one page deep in the GolfTrak support webpage. ### 5/5 — Très bien *2026-07-26* Il perfome mieux que sur shot vision pour ceux qui connaisse et les données sont tres bonne je tape avec mes mizuno 900 jpx forged et j’ai les mêmes données qu’a mon practice alors que je les tape dans mon jardin ### 1/5 — E6 Can’t Connect *2026-06-26* No support for E6 ### 5/5 — Best launch monitor on Iphone *2026-05-22* App works great. Pretty straightforward to use. You get 5 free fully tracked shots a day. Paid options give you access to GS Pro and E 6 Connect. I have not used shot vision but i think you have to pay to try, and i don’t think they give you simulator access. I have had trouble with the golf boy app accuracy, and I have not bought their tripod, so this app stands out as the best option in my opinion. Use a tripod and mark your balls with lines as a small tip for reading the ball ### 4/5 — Launch Monitor Review *2026-05-20* I tried out the GolfTrak launch monitor because I can’t afford the big brand one I’d like at the moment, but I’d still like to practice. I was very impressed with the accuracy of the distance while practicing while comparing it to what I know my distances to be about. The longer irons were better than the short irons and wedges. I think once the ball rises to a certain height it is more difficult for the device to read. I also tried making a wedge matrix and was very surprised with the accuracy of my 1/4 and 1/2 swing distances. The app was also very consistent with my numbers. Definitely would recommend if you need something cheap with decent reliable accuracy. ### 5/5 — Helped Me Drop Strokes! *2026-05-13* The app is great! It helped me really dial in my swing strength and accuracy for various yardage, especially for my short game and now landing on the green instead of missing long or short. ### 5/5 — Amazing launch monitor *2026-05-13* Very good app if you can’t afford a launch monitor not 100% accurate but close enough for at home practice ## Frequently asked questions about GolfTrak ### What does GolfTrak do?
