Great app

If you know what to look for it’s perfect

Greens maps

Can you print greens maps with a subscription?

Not worth it at all.

Same information as every other tracker app. All the features you would like need a subscription. This app has less free functionality than 18 Birdies app

Fix the easy thing

The app, in general is pretty solid. Where it falls down,on the watch especially, is it doesn’t automatically move you to the next hole. So if you forget to manually do it you keep putting shot data on a previous hole. If you all can figure out I am on the green why can’t it figure out I am on the next tee box? If it looks like I was on the green and have moved off have a simple prompt that comes up on the watch that asks, “start next hole”? Yes or no. Move the tracking to it if yes. Many other products I have tried do this. So instead of doing printable books and all of the other things, please get this basic function sorted out. This is make or break for me as a customer.

Great golf app

Easy to use after a couple rounds. Ran into a bug today where the app froze and had to go manual mode the whole round.

Price

Member Price a bit high but very good in general. I would for sure resubcribe.

Best golf gps app!

It does it all & more! I couldn’t imagine not using this app. Helps with planning tournaments, map out aiming points, & avoid trouble. 10/10!!!

It has potential.

The app concept and stats have great potential. But it is let down massively with the user experience and the user interface.
Editing a round/shots is painfully clunky. Adding shots and penalties has to be done in a certain lengthy sequence. There are way too many interactions with the app, both during and after the round which takes focus away from the game.
I have noted that the stats can be wrong on occasion (-1.17 shots for a stroke and distance penalty, it should be -2).
I did reach out to Shot Pattern with these issues and some ideas several months ago but nothing seems to have been implemented.
For a paid app of significant cost per year, I really expect better.

Response to developer:
My app is up to date and using Apple Watch to automatically track shots. So I’d say it’s the current system I’m using (not the old).
I have definitely selected the correct “stroke and distance” penalty. I have a screen shot I can fire over to show.

Love this app!

This app is very helpful in understanding my weaknesses.

Best Golf App

Basic features are free and they are easy to use. Graphics especially 3D are awesome for planning rounds for new courses or even the ones you frequent.

Worth the investment

Genuinely a phenomenal product for golfers of all levels. Execution of the app is near perfect.

Feature request: to be able to plan out rounds in advance and save them so that when you get to the round itself you can load up your game plan and get started.

Five Stars for a reason

I’ve used Shot Pattern for a few years now. The app was good to start with and has only continued to improve. There are constantly new additions and improvements made, and it is very simple and intuitive to use. Support was also extremely responsive and resolved the only glitch I’ve encountered very quickly. Overall, I would highly recommend Shot Pattern to any serious player looking to meaningfully track their progress and practice needs.

This is a must have if you a serious golfer!

First season tracking my shots with shot pattern and I love it. 4 handicap trying to get down to scratch. Shows where I good and bad at golf and I’m surprised where strokes gains bar is set for scratch. Handy for GPS distances on your Home Screen when you’re playing.

Shot planning and stats analysis

I have been using ShotPattern for two years, collecting various rounds in the app. Initially a shot planning tool, it has transformed into an excellent statistics app. The latest updates pushed the stats part to the next level by showing each shots landing final position. I can switch views between proximity and left/right miss control or distance control, and filter by round type, club, or lie. I can also click each ball and see where and when I played that shot, including starting position and distance to the flag.

The recent update also added analysis features for putting and short games, which is fantastic, particularly for evaluating distance control. It highlights where I am losing shots and if I miss left or right more often.

Tracking shots on the course has become significantly easier, seamlessly integrating into the game flow.

While I have attempted various apps in the past, ShotPattern remains the only one I have consistently used for the past two years

Waste of money

Absolute waste of money. No free trial so you have to pay to even try it, and it’s nothing the free version of 18 birdies won’t tell you

The best gps app

There’s simply nothing on the market that remotely compares to this app from a course management and functionality standpoint. I never play a round of golf without it.

Beneficial to Improving

I started using the app as a low single-digit handicap. The more data I entered, the more informed I became at preparing for a round - on both my home course and any other course. The latest updates in the statistics area have been game changers for me. They have shown me what area(s) of my game I need to focus on to improve even further. The app will help you!

Close but not there yet.

I specifically downloaded this app to look at sg for upcoming courses. It’s not basing the sg off of actual data, but an algorithm based on distance - which is kinda helpful but can’t answer the critical question of whether it’s worth taking on risk or not. For example, if you go left and are blocked out by trees, it may still show a positive sg because you’re closer to the hole. Simply being closer to a hole is not enough.

Best App for Golf Software for Prep and Strategy

The iPhone app is incredibly paired with the Mac is the best software you can use for prep for tournaments and rounds.

What a joke of a company!

Just remember to cancel your free trial on time people. I mean $127 is not going to change my life so I’m not worried that you charged me after the free trial but even after I reached out to get a refund and explained I used the app for a total of 1 time (during the trial period) and it wasn’t for me, they refused a refund…LOL. I am going to do my share of warning people against apps like yours.
