Apple Watch app review
Tried this out for a single round after hearing of the Apple Watch app release. Initial setup had the app trying to play a round all day long until I actually played the round. Drained the heck out of the battery. There is little at this stage in help or documentation on the app so I did the best I could. I tried shot recognition and that wasn’t working will. I switched to manual and it was better, as well as reduced battery drain. I have two main issues. First, editing on the watch was really hard to find. Deleting shots or changing clubs was unclear until I got home to edit in the online portal. Second, I’m used to a watch and phone app where I can record my playing partners scores only as well as using it for scramble outings. This doesn’t exist in the app. The good, stats are wonderful. It is visually stunning on the watch. Accuracy seems on target. The watch app runs independent of needing to have the so running on the phone. The app seems to do great as a single player recording on a shot by shot basis but for this user, I want to be able to keep track of scores at a minimum for everyone in my playing group. I will be using another app to do recording of scores of my group/playing partners and use my Apple Watch to record my stats.

Hi, thank you for your review. Please update the app to version 3.7.2. This should resolve the issue with the activity not starting correctly. At the moment, the editing options available on the watch are limited to deleting a shot or changing the overall score for a hole. We are looking to add more editing features in the coming weeks. To delete a shot, scroll down to the shot list for the hole, then swipe across the shot you would like to remove. A delete icon will appear, allowing you to delete the shot. Hope this helps!
App scoring issue
Each time I update a round after downloading the app freezes and I have to do it all again.
Editing
When using the drop ball it does not connect to the next shot. According to Shot Scope this is by design. I find editing not straight forward at all.
Horrible app
Surprised Apple even allowed this to be in their App Store. UI is confusing and completely non standard controls. Entering email and password and registration is incredibly frustrating. Connecting the actual launch monitor is basically impossible with buttons and status screens that make no sense. Embarrassing effort.

Good but not great…
Been using the app on iOS with the Connex tags for a few months now. The data is great but the experience of using the tags falls short. The app will crash multiple times during a round, is slow to upload any manually entered shots, the putting side is nowhere near accurate enough to be useful, same with pin collection (no the pin isn’t 5 yards off the green in a bunker!?) and in general it’s not great fiddling with your phone before every shot. Saying that, the data is very good so I’m tempted to upgrade to a watch with tags in the hope that it removes some of the negatives of using the phone tags. Connex are close to being good but really let down by the app itself.
