Always gets to the point where you pick a course while I am ready to tee off and then it just stalls with the silly quotes on the watch face and will not get any further than that. Extremely frustrating to spend $150 and then have it not work. SS support tried to help but that got me nowhere. Running all current updates on Apple Watch 11, iPhone 16, and Shot Scope app. Sounds like a great idea but it just is not working. ### 2/5 — Needs improvement for UI and UX *2026-08-19, version 3.7.5* I tried the Shot Scope Watch App specifically for use with my Apple Watch while golfing. My main needs are simple: score tracking, GPS distances, and optionally club-distance tracking. The biggest advantage is the pricing: one payment and no subscription. That alone makes Shot Scope very appealing compared with many golf apps. However, the Apple Watch experience needs improvement: 1. UI and navigation: The interface is awkward to use during a round. Most navigation relies on scrolling with the Digital Crown. Left/right swipe gestures would make it much faster, and users should be able to customize which information appears on the watch. 2. Button responsiveness: Some buttons need a very deliberate press and occasionally don’t register. On my Apple Watch Ultra 2, some controls also feel too close to the edge of the display. 3. GPS update speed: Compared with Golfshot, distances to the green can take a few seconds to refresh after moving, which interrupts the flow during play. Shot Scope offers excellent value because there is no subscription, but the Apple Watch UI and UX currently hold it back. If the interface became faster, more customizable, and easier to navigate, this could be one of the best golf apps available. For now, Golfshot is still quicker and easier to use on the course. ### 2/5 — Apple Watch app review *2026-08-19, version 3.7.5* Revised to 2 stars for the Apple Watch. After purchasing the app and trying to use it for multiple rounds, I still have yet to get an accurate accounting of my shots either automatically or manually. I’ll be going back to the app that I’ve been using and chalk this up to a waste of my money. Can’t use an app that has yet to match the score I actually shot. The app appears to be great if you are used to the ShotScope ecosystem but others will likely struggle and nearly mandatory editing after the round is simply unacceptable for a tracker. 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. ### 4/5 — Great App .. Watch Apple feature feels very lacking *2026-08-14, version 3.7.2* Been using the app with RF tags for about 2 years now. Really like the functionality and data feedback you get. Was really looking forward to the Apple Watch functionality and having finished my first trial round with I was looking forward to seeing how it uploaded onto the App. Needless to say I was pretty disappointed with incorrect and inconsistent data being uploaded. I had to edit each hole due to incorrect club being displayed, shots displayed wildly inaccurately.. I gave up editing all the mistakes after a couple of holes. The other two rounds weren’t any better and also had to deal with the watch skipping a couple of holes, randomly going back to the watch face screen. On the upside, loved the displays, much preferable vs getting my phone out of my pocket to check distances. All in all .. still a great App but the Apple Watch functionality is definitely lacking and (as it stands) wouldn’t pay for it. ### 4/5 — New version not very useful; issue resolved *2026-08-11, version 3.7.2* The fix was to add the LM1 device to the app and now it works again. Can I have the previous version back so I can download rounds off the X5 watch. New version has eliminated that ability ### 3/5 — Don’t Trust Putting Stats *2026-08-10, version 3.7.2* I’ve been using Shot Scope for almost 2 years. Generally I enjoy the product (specifically the H4) and highly recommend it to others. However, I also warn them that any putting stats are highly questionable. This warning would also extend to any green related stats. Where I golf (Western Canada) the app seems to have a real problem identifying when you are on the green. Consequently, it doesn’t collect many putts or pin collects. Typically I have to add 5 putts and manually move 2 pin locations each round. So if you don’t separately and independently record your strokes and putts, and then carefully recheck all your shots, many of your stats are suspect. I often leave putts 2 or 3 inches short. The app consistently fails to register the next putt. I often go to do a “pin collect” and the app doesn’t recognize I’m on the green or worse it has decided I’m starting the next hole. Yes, I know I can manually force a pin collect (and I do). I shouldn’t have to so often. And when I do the results may still be wrong. Other than Greens and Putting I love the app. ### 4/5 — Apple Watch app review *2026-08-07* 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.

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! ### 1/5 — What happened?? *2026-08-04, version 3.7.0* What did you do to the app, Shot Scope?? Where are my rounds? Where are all my stats? Your latest “update” has completely removed everything that made Shot Scope useful. ### 1/5 — App scoring issue *2026-07-26, version 3.4.18* Each time I update a round after downloading the app freezes and I have to do it all again. ### 3/5 — Editing *2026-07-23, version 3.4.18* 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. ## Frequently asked questions about Shot Scope ### What does the Shot Scope app do?
