Review
Haven’t had it score an accurate round yet. Misses swings and distances often. Use it mostly for distance to the green while playing. Got it free otherwise i would not buy.
App ruined by update
I have used this app for several years. The requirements now to sign off rounds before seeing distance stats for each club has ruined the app. Furthermore signing rounds is clunky and tiresome. Please go back to the old format where I can see club distance stats without all this with that does not interest me.

Junk
Extreme hassle to use,
iPhone 13 mini problems
When trying to enter custom distance for clubs there is no way to hit the confirm button because the number pad covers it with no way to get it out of the way without hitting the back button
Testing - good but room for improvement - Apple Watch.
First the test trial rounds are based on 18holes which means 2-nine holes, but it doesn’t do that. One you try to test it, to see the interface, it will force you to use a trial round. Also the app continues to running even after you’ve upload the results. Because of this I could not to log a full round.
While it picks the swings, sometimes you don’t know if you already entered the clubs.
Apple Watch should at least be in sync with iPhone It should be in sync with iPhone app. Should also have the option to use the sensors.
Sometimes the clubs it gives you aren’t the clubs you want to use, it’s always recommending the club, so you could enter the wrong club.
The ability to export data is useful.
I want to like it, but lacks some features and want to golf a couple more rounds to give it a fair test.

The tin
Does what it says and definitely saving me shots
Warum nicht mit km/h
Ich nutze die App mit dem LM1 um mein Golfspiel zu verbessern. Das LM1 kann ich auf Sprache Deutsch stellen und natürlich auf KM/H.
In der App aber alles auf englisch und die Geschwindigkeiten in Meilen. Englisch ok, aber Meilen ein No Go
Das LM1 stürzt auch immer wieder ab, was auch in Foren auf einschlägigen Seiten schon besprochen wird. Wann gibt es ein Firmware Update und wann wird die Sprache/Masseinheit in der App angepasst?

Frustrating Experience
Have been trying to get this app to work with Apple Watch for 2 weeks. 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.

Needs improvement for UI and UX
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.

Apple Watch app review
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.

Great App .. Watch Apple feature feels very lacking
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.

New version not very useful; issue resolved
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

Don’t Trust Putting Stats
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.

Response from developer
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!
What happened??
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.
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.

Solid but lots of room for improvement
Disappointed to find out it doesn’t give you a handicap, I would be willing to fill out scorecards for all the course I play such as course rating and slope rating for every tee box. Feels like handicap is the bare minimum these days. Other than that there is a lot of data if you are willing to edit every round to make sure it’s accurate
