Very inconsistent on picking up driver as well. Needs to be sorted otherwise it’s pointless playing. The range is ok and they have some great ranges to use ### 4/5 — Great *2025-10-31, version 4.4.9* I have an older iPad which doesn’t have the RAM for the full SKYTRAK app which means I don’t bother with course play. But this app works amazingly well for me as a slimed down version. I use it with my SKYTRAK plus. I have the essentials package which is good value and this app has a basic driving range with moveable greens/fairways. It has great wedge matrix and practice features, bag mapping, target games etc Most importantly it has all of the club swing and path data etc so it’s amazing for practicing. It’s mega quick to startup up and connect to iPad, which is ideal for me in practice net on lunch breaks. I love it and can see the results in my game👌🏌️‍♂️ ### 2/5 — Glitchy; slow *2025-02-17, version 4.4.9* I have the original SkyTrak, and was happy with it. Then Golftek took over, and now only the “Lite” version of the software is available without premium subscription or new hardware. The Lite version is much slower responding to shots (often 10 seconds), or freezes/doesn’t display shots despite the hardware unit indicating it is ready after the previous shot. Requires re-start of software. No way I’d upgrade after this experience. ### 2/5 — Awful connectivity *2024-07-09, version 4.4.7* You’ll spend more time trying to get this app to connect than swinging a club. Even once connected, the launch tracker only picks up half your swings. ### 1/5 — IM SO DONE *2024-06-29, version 4.4.7* horrible customer service and app stops working every other day. I’ve been on endless calls with their “team” and and their pointless. Complete waste of money ### 2/5 — My Skytrak stopped working. *2024-05-24, version 4.4.7* I took very good care of my SkyTrak always keeping it in a protective case and always keeping it indoors. Now it may read 1 out of 10 swings even after several reboots. I only use it for the driving range but now it is useless after about a year of use. For the price I would have expected better. Really wanted this for my daughter to hone in on her game as collegiate athlete on a golf scholarship. #frustrated. ### 1/5 — Worst system *2024-05-20* Imagine spending 4k on a product and their software is so garbage, keeps crashing not letting you connect to network in order to mandatory register your product to use. Bringing it back for a refund. ### 2/5 — Let’s hope Golftec can drag SkyTrak out of 2006 *2024-05-02, version 4.4.7* Aside from the physical launch monitor, every piece of software created by skytrak including every user experience has been awful. Like whoever had the vision for the company was 80. Get off of unity and develop something meaningful from the ground up. Please. ### 2/5 — Constant connection issues *2024-03-20, version 4.4.7* Very frustrating to practice with. I spend more time correcting app failures and connection issues than swinging a club. ### 1/5 — Keeps disconnecting *2024-03-09, version 4.4.6* Continuously disconnects from the WiFi and loses signal. ### 2/5 — Skytrak App needs work *2024-02-28, version 4.4.6* This app needs work and a lot of bug fixes. It constantly just closes when you try to go from one screen to another. Also for bag mapping, it doesn’t load in your custom bag, so what’s the point? The app has some nice features and I like the data but it’s really annoying when it closes. Please fix!!! ### 1/5 — Absolutely rubbish *2023-10-13, version 4.4.2* Rubbish app, can’t contact to the skytrak system. ### 1/5 — Poor interface on iPhone *2023-10-06, version 4.4.2* The iPhone app is poorly designed. I’d like to see a refresh now that owned by Golftec. Specific problems: 1. Login screen is too small, should be formatted for iPhone rather than desktop 2. Login should be able to save login and/or use a password keeper app like apple keychain or keeper 3. Menu options on top of screen when hitting are impossibly small and appear formatted for desktop and not a small phone 4. System should allow analysis of multiple hitting sessions, last 10/20/50/100 shots to understand improvement. ### 1/5 — Updated and now connection issues every time I use it. *2023-09-28, version 4.4.2* Terrible app. ### 2/5 — It doesn’t connect. *2023-09-16* It connect hardly and doesn’t read ball lots of time and lots of problems. ### 2/5 — Always has some king of issue *2023-09-13, version 4.4.2* It has become very difficult to trust if your numbers are correct because the app always has some kind of bug/issue. Every time you update the app something else gets messed up. This company is not putting enough effort to test the app before releasing it. Find another product. ### 1/5 — Log in *2023-09-10, version 4.4.2* This is a great idea gone bad, constant log in issues, everything was my fault and my set up and it turns out to be the unit! Then where I asked for a refund it was refused and only going to offer a replacement. Until they sort out these issues I’d avoid like the plague! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — waste of time *2026-03-15, version 4.4.9* i am using direct connect between my ipad and skytrak plus. ipad, iphone just cannot detect the skytrak wifi signal 95% of the time. this results in me cancelling my sessions more than often, this is very frustrating. never getting this device again. ### 1/5 — Awful app *2025-06-19, version 4.4.9* App never stays connected in network mode or direct. Absolutely unusable and the company should be ashamed to have this out there. ### 1/5 — Freezes after about 5 shots *2025-04-29, version 4.4.9* If you like glitchy software then this is the app for you! It’s decent eleven it works but I often find it will work for a short period until it freezes and then I must restart the app and my SkyTrak. Disappointing. ### 1/5 — Insufficient RAM *2025-04-08, version 4.4.9* It’s amazing, I have a iPhone 14 Plus. My memory is 3071MB. Skytrak practice range requires 3072MB. 1MB short! I can’t believe the developers of this app have not checked with modern device capabilities. And let’s be clear. My user need is to know the numbers. I’d rather be able to use the app than have fancy sky scapes behind the driving range. ### 1/5 — Network mode buggy *2025-01-05, version 4.4.9* Hassle ### 1/5 — It doesn’t work. *2024-11-03, version 4.4.9* It shows 325yards but it doesn’t work. Why is this happening? ### 1/5 — No longer works on iPad 5th gen *2024-10-20, version 4.4.9* Won’t hold a connection with the device and constantly crashes when you try to exit a menu item. Please fix this as these devices are not cheap to replace. ### 1/5 — Always signs you out *2024-10-11, version 4.4.9* Some of the data from the app is excellent. But the app insists on signing you out after a day or so. This is infuriating especially when using direct network connection. Why sign me out? I don’t have a premium plan. There’s nothing I gain. Check once a month? Check when I am online? Assume it’s all ok. ### 1/5 — Skytrak is a joke *2024-09-26, version 4.4.9* My launch monitor loses connection every single time i use it. Sometimes i will get like 5 misreads in a row and then just msgicslly work again. Dont waste your money on this garbage ### 1/5 — Customer service is atrocious *2024-08-06, version 4.4.8* Code given to me for E6 hasn’t worked for two weeks. ST will happily collect your money but when you ask for them to sort this issue out, no response. Go with another launch monitor. I’m selling mine. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Works great *2024-09-22* I've had a great experience with this app using skytrak+. I'm not sure why there are so many low reviews. The iPhone app gives the same reads as the laptop application, which is a huge convenience if taking this to the range. All the game improvement and virtual range and practice features are top notch. Tracks all the key data and saves all session data history. Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — F *2024-03-22, version 4.4.7* Great ### 5/5 — Works great on Range and as Game Improvement Tool *2024-01-27, version 4.4.6* Love the range, targets, bag mapping, wedge matrix and other game improvement features. Have not used SIM capability much. ### 5/5 — Why all the hate? App works Great *2023-06-19, version 4.4.0* The fact that IOS is supported so well is huge. PLEASE ADD FULL SCREEN SUPPORT FOR EXTERNAL MONITORS! ### 5/5 — Caution *2023-01-11, version 4.3.0* I just updated as required and now it won’t reload. Sitting here on the support line listening to a maddening 8 second loop of flakey high energy music. ### 5/5 — Great update *2021-11-18, version 4.1.0* Thanks for implementing spin decay! Loving this product for years now! Better than the range... ### 5/5 — No issues here. *2021-06-11, version 4.0.2* Setup took a couple attempts. Ever since flawless. Using either an iPhone or an iPad. No connection issues with either. Skytrak picks up 100% of balls hit, unless it’s a total flub. Which you’d rather not see anyway. ### 5/5 — Great home practice and launch monitor! *2020-04-28, version 3.4.1* If you’re looking to practice at home and improve your game you should have a SkyTrak! Lots of ball data that will you understand yourself game. Integrates with other software for simulation golf. Make sure to follow directions to be able to use properly!!! ### 5/5 — Super outil d’entraînement *2020-03-05* Je possède le SkyTrak depuis 1 an et j’ai frappé des centaines de balles. Très haut taux de précision. J’ai amélioré la constance de mon swing. Je n’ai pas drastiquement amélioré mon score sur le terrain mais j’ai définitivement plus confiance en mon swing. Le succès cognera à la porte bientôt.... ### 5/5 — PLEASE READ THIS! *2018-10-20* I gave this five stars in hopes that more people would see this. I have very good connectivity and this device is spotty at best. Customer support is poor. Their “fix” is to keep deleting the current app and reinstall a new one. When asking for my money back they told me no. We don’t refund money. We want to fix the problem, yet they never do. I spend most of my practice sessions rebooting, uninstalling and reinstalling the app. I wish I had heeded the warnings. Save yourself $2k and a lot of aggravation! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
