Sie tut auch das was sie soll besser als andere Apps. Aber wenn ich meinen Shot exportieren will, soll ich 9,99€/Monat oder 69,99€/Jahr zahlen. Das halte ich für deutlich zu viel, zumal mich der Kauf der App 7-8€ gekostet hat. Eine exportierfunktion sollte grundbestandteil der App sein… Schade drum **Developer response:** Der Shot Tracer ist inkludiert du musst nichts extra zahlen du hast den Shot Tracer gekauft. Andere Funktionen sind Pro Funktionen ### 1/5 — Dis honest *2026-07-27, version 9.0.89* Made it seem like it if I pay for the app I would have a live tracer but after I pay they ask for a monthly subscription not cool ### 3/5 — Kinda feel lied to *2026-07-26, version 9.0.89* The live tracer doesnt work as soon as you click on it , the app shuts down and closes. The only thing that works is editing the tracer yourself manually ### 1/5 — Export video not working *2026-07-24, version 9.0.89* Not working on iphone ### 3/5 — Good when works *2026-07-24, version 9.0.85* Pay £5.99 and can't even export your video without paying a monthly subscription. ### 1/5 — Let’s be real *2026-07-24, version 9.0.85* Lame. Automatic features don’t work well. You have to edit each clip. No free version. Editing feel clunky and out dated. I’m sure it works okay once you pay up. They should have an option to watch an ad in exchange for a video. Booooo. ### 1/5 — Horrible App- Do Not Buy *2026-07-22, version 9.0.85* I purchased this app for $5 and got the month subscription. first time using it i recorded 19 videos and when i tried to download one, the app crashed and every video deleted. complete waste of money and time. half the videos don’t even trace your shot. awful app, scammers do not buy ever ### 1/5 — Ruined a good app *2026-07-16, version 9.0.80* So, the auto trace function that you already paid for, and used to work great, is now behind a monthly subscription paywall. The manual trace feature is hot garbage. ### 1/5 — Totally Misleading *2026-07-13, version 9.0.80* The app says that it costs $5.99 to buy. Once you install it is $9.99 a month or $59.95 to upgrade. Don’t bother downloading unless you want to spend big money. I’d like my money back! ### 1/5 — $7.99 then it’s 80$ *2026-07-13, version 9.0.80* You need to buy the app at $7.99 then it’s 80$ to get any features. There are free apps that give you the same thing. ### 1/5 — Not as advertised *2026-07-12, version 9.0.80* 5.99 does not get you anything of value. You have to buy the pro version for it to do the tracking the avid golfer is looking for. If I could get my money back, I would. Total rip off. ### 3/5 — Not that great *2026-07-12, version 9.0.80* It’s cool but not as easy to trace the ball as they say. It’s all manual and nothing is automated ### 1/5 — Pay to get and then pay to use *2026-07-10, version 9.0.78* Awful app pay to get the app, and its manual and then you have to pay extra monthly for the actual app how stupid , it’s a scam ### 1/5 — Save your money *2026-07-10, version 9.0.78* The advertisement looks promising until you pay to download the app to just get locked out from really using the features with a $10 monthly subscription. Save your money. ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-07-10, version 9.0.78* Paid $5.99 for nothing. No live tracking. I had to do it myself. When I did do it myself I trade to save the video and now I have to pay for a subscription. I want a refund! ### 1/5 — Scammmmm alert!! *2026-07-10, version 9.0.78* Got the app today, it doesn’t trace the ball at all you have to move the cursor to trace the ball… worst shot tracer app I used… don’t buy!! Also the put reader was another reason I bout this app but the button doesn’t work. I click on put reader a million times and nothing happens. I can see it’s registering my click but it’s not doing anything ….. I want my money back … I will be going to Apple and reporting this app ### 1/5 — ABSOLUTELY DO NOT BUY *2026-07-08, version 9.0.77* The marketing videos for this app are extremely misleading. The videos show a golfer hitting a golf ball and a tracer line being generated automatically as the ball flies off the club. Yes, you can get that ONLY IF YOU UPGRADE to the Pro version at a cost of $9.99 per month. So, what does this $6 version of the app do? It gives you access to their marketing for the Pro version of the app…which costs $9.99 per month. That is, you just paid them $6 so they can advertise their subscription plan to you. To be fair, the $6 version gives you access to the legacy tracer, which requires you to manually add a tracer line to a golf ball flight. Who is going to do that? Who has that time or patience? I would get a refund if it was possible. DON’T BUY!!!! Not even worth it if it was free. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Pay *2026-08-18* To anyone thinking you pay for the app an get the tracer, you dont. You get in the app for 10$ just so they can offer you a monthly subscription for the live tracer. Bs if ya ask me an after reading all the other reviews im convinced this is just a rip off and the creators dont fix any issues. Waste of 10$ ### 1/5 — New *2026-08-13, version 9.0.92* I was expecting life but it doesn’t. ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-08-12, version 9.0.92* Cost $12 to download, app doesn’t work, then automatically charges $9.99 a month when you’re not using it. Scam scam scam ### 1/5 — Faux *2026-08-12, version 9.0.92* Doit en plus payer un 12,99$ par mois ### 1/5 — Paywall for live trace *2026-08-10, version 9.0.92* The older version of this app lets you record an automatic trace, but with this new version, it’s behind a paywall. If you have an old iPhone running iOS 15.x, the older version app lets you record a shot that traces the ball automatically. This new version you have to insert a fake trace into a pre recorded shot saved in your photos app. Scam. ### 1/5 — Do not buy *2026-08-10, version 9.0.92* Like others, I was fooled by the adverts showing a supposedly live trace function, but there is no such function. I wanted the app to help me on the course - when playing alone in certain light situations, it’s hard to see which direction the ball went. I’m going to raise a complaint for this and ask for a refund because it simply does not do what it purposes to do. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t do what they claim *2026-08-09, version 9.0.92* This app does not do what that say it does. Don’t waist your money ### 1/5 — Paid the yearly and it still doesn’t trace balls as adverised *2026-08-09, version 9.0.92* Beware. Doesn’t work and gives no instructions on how to get it working. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-08-07, version 9.0.92* Don’t not waste your money on this app. Another money hungry, lying, misleading company that does nothing to help nor add value to the golf community. The app itself cost 6 dollars which I talked myself into, but after you edit your video— either a monthly $10 subscription or annual subscription of $70 is required to then export to download/ save your video. Better off to just teach yourself how to edit on FinalCut pro than to give this absolutely ridiculous, worthless company your money. I would give zero stars if only 1 star was not already the lowest rating option. The app itself is confusing and the software was designed by with little knowledge in coding. Probably a nepo kid. ### 1/5 — Ripoff *2026-07-30, version 9.0.89* I paid $5.99 and when I opened the app it wants me to pay a monthly subscription and top of the $5.99 I already spent. Avoid this app! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Live Tracer is a game changer! *2026-08-18, version 9.0.106* The new live tracer feature is unbelievable! ### 5/5 — Game changer with the live tracer *2026-08-09, version 9.0.92* The live tracer is insanely good! ### 5/5 — Amazing live tracer *2026-08-02* The live tracer is a game changer!
