Lost Two Free Trials
I downloaded the app to my iPhone and Apple watch this evening. After my initial setup I played around with the app for an hour or so and in the process noticed that I used two of my three free trial rounds. Not sure how I did that as I only viewed the holes of a course near me without entering any scores/strokes on any hole. At any rate, in the darkness of night, I managed to use two of my three free trial rounds without leaving my recliner (except to pee) and with my clubs locked securely in my car.

Watch app doesn’t work
I have the tags and V5 combo. That combo works 50% of the time. Very glitchy on the upload. Half the time it stalls on the sync and you lose your round completely. Heard the new apple watch standalone app came out. Activated my free 3 round trial. Couldn’t get it to load at all. Keeps stalling and restarting. This has been the problem with Shot Scope for years. Great concept. Extremely poor execution in the software. Most of the time it just doesn’t work as intended so it becomes useless. Better off using 18birdies or Arccos.

Export functionality needed!!
Decent app but would be great to be able to export the data
Apple watch app unusable
My first attempt at using this on the course. On the 2nd hole it locked up and I couldn't record putts. The app is a plague with my ultra 4. Have to restart watch in order to quit the shot scope app. Ridiculously bad.
Apple Watch app review
Revised to 1 star for the Apple Watch. After 6 weeks of issues and multiple help tickets and constant lockups at the course, Apple refunded my purchase.
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. 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.

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!
Too bad that Kmph are missing
I found how to change the units in the app - in my profile settings (more button - bottom right/pencil icon/next to the gender box, choose units ) - but if meters are the unit for distance, mph remains the unit for speed. Same problem with the LM1 despite the user guide which indicates that you can choose kmph/meters. Only mph/meters available

My opinion to the S70 wins
Functionality mapping is an issue a lot of editing is required not the most user friendly.
Apple Watch
Play to see the Apple Watch Incorporated. Now figure how to change the description on a tag‼️⁉️.
Watch App great but some improvements needed
I actually think this could be the game changer for people who want to track their stats. Using the apple watch is great. Three things to fix, 1 at some point the watch decided to move constantly to the next hole and was unusable. This buf must be fixes. 2 I would like a larger text mode 3 I would like to be able to put another players score in. Not their stats. Just their score.

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.

Hi, thank you for your feedback. If you prefer swiping rather than using the Digital Crown, you can swipe up and down on the screen to move between pages instead. Regarding the customisation options, please get in touch with support@shotscope.com, and we'll be happy to discuss these with you.

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.
