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.

Hey Danii, Sorry you had a poor experience and that you didn’t receive a refund. I don’t remember seeing a support email from you. Apple handles all payments and refunds. They don’t allow developers any control over the process. If you’d like to reach out to support@shotpattern.app we can help you make sure you’re requesting the refund properly. Eric
Not Simple…sorry
I find this app helpful but so damn difficult to manage.
It provides good data about my shots that is true. However, the “simple” interface is not simple.
I find the ability to mark my starting location and aim point and then mark my shot final location frigging impossible to do consistently.
I mash a button combination one way and it works then I scre up and hit something else by mistake and I’m now in an interface where I have to guess where I am on the course re enter my club, etc etc…
I have been called out by my Friends for taking too long on the course to hit a ball ( cause I find myself somewhere I’m not expecting to be) I have horrible shots in my dispersion data that I really don’t want.
It very well could me a me issue. I feel you need to know that the app is good but it is not simple, quick, or super easy.

1st round
Still learning
First time using.
As the title. I tried SP for the first time today, out on the course. I found it very complicated and time consuming to use. Bear in mind I primarily use though my watch (Apple watch Ultra). It seemed very fiddly to get to enter a score and move to the next hole. Maybe I need some more time with it. But for now, I’ll be using golf shot.

Thank you for the feedback! It sounds like one point of confusion was expecting to just simply enter a score at the end of the hole. Shot Pattern wants to track each shot in order to build a picture of your dispersion so that we can provide detailed analytics to help guide personalized strategy decisions. For simple score tracking, GolfShot is a better choice .
Clunky but has potential
I’m rating it 2 based on value. It’s a decent app and has some high points, but unfortunately compared to other gps apps with shot tracking in its price range of $100/yr it falls well short in features, functionality and interface. The biggest downside is that for an app with automatic shot detection it just requires too much editing and adjustment at the end of the round and since there’s no way to enter a score, you must go through every shot to ensure accuracy.

Continues to improve
So many apps just kind of stall after a couple of updates, but Shot Pattern continues to add value with regular updates that improve user experience.

Course Management and Game Analysis
I've been using Shot Pattern for more than two years now, after trying out Fore Game Golf, BeBrassie, Shot Scope, etc. The difference with Shot Pattern is that I don't just use it for analyzing my shots after the round. I can also decide what the best shot is from every position during the round. Most of these apps include similar features now as well. One thing that was bothering me with all of these apps was that the automatic shot tracking never properly worked for me. I always had to spend a lot of time after the round correcting my shots or club selections and what I actually hit. This is due to the fact that the GPS can only give you the general lie, but never how it plays like. For example, I play very narrow courses with lots of trees, a position in the semi-rough could still be a recovery shot due to some trees obstructing the green. I'd rather take five seconds over a shot to get this right than spend twenty minutes after the round remembering what the exact position was.

Best golf GPS app by far
Shot Pattern strikes the perfect balance of being full featured and extremely simple, smooth, intuitive, and easy to use. My favorite app on my phone!
Excellent Game Improvement Tool
This app is excellent for anyone trying to take their golf game to the next level. It does take a few minutes after a round to enter your shots. The amount of data you get about your rounds is very helpful to focusing your practice.
Sync with watch
If I could get it to sync with my watch while I’m playing, this app would be the best out there.
However, even though I paid for this one, I go back to my free app because it’s so much easier to use.
Get shot tracking actually working on a watch and you e got me.

Best on the market
This is the best stat tracker on the market and its not close. I’ve tried so many. Yes it has GPS and you can use your phone every shot but for players like me I want to input the round later——and this is perfect for that. Truly the best golf app on market in my opinion.
Doesn’t work at certain times
Doesn’t work late in the evening. Not great if you want to preview the course you are playing the next day the night before because if just says searching for courses or doesn’t give you options of tee boxes.
Response from developer
Hey T, Shouldn’t be the case! Are you using a VPN? Sometimes that blocks the app’s ability to connect with our course database. If you email support@shotpattern.app we’ll get you all squared away with some help! Eric
UPDATED: great app one you learn it
This app is great once you use their tools to learn how to set up the app properly
Essential Tool for Course Management + Advanced Data
This app has helped elevate my game. Pre-round prep options, course GPS and green maps have been awesome. Hoping to see total carry added soon.
Handy!
This app is VERY easy to input rounds into. The stats are extensive and the shot pattern display is very handy. Highly recommend.
Best app to use while playing
This app takes a little bit of time to learn how to use properly, however, between the great GPS features and shot tracking features, I like it better than all the other apps that are out there. It really allows you to pick smarter targets than other apps. I feel like that alone saves me strokes out on the course. I feel like I understand my approach distances much better. Also taking the time to learn how to track strokes gained with this app is worth the time invested. It really makes that simpler if you give it a chance to understand how it works.

Best golf app in the world
Eric continually makes amazing updates to this app. It is by far the best in the world for planning your rounds and for on course strategy using your actual shot patterns.
Awesome
Excellent app for advanced stat tracking & previewing courses, new features added all the time. Excellent work!
Best GPS Golf App
If you are any type of avid golfer, this should be on your phone. The stats you get, the courses look great, and it’s just a great strategy app for golf courses. I use this for tournaments, rounds with the boys, just get it.
