### 1/5 — 意味なし

*2026-08-23*

全くきどうを見ることはできません白、黄色、オレンジ全部試して何回もしても無理でしたいろんな人のスイングをとっても無理なので無理だと思います

### 2/5 — Only real time

*2026-08-19, version 3.1.2*

Would be much more practical to be able to add tracer to existing videos

### 1/5 — Not tracking

*2026-08-15, version 3.1.2*

I’m not sure if it’s user error but every time I try and use the app it doesn’t track my ball. Everything is lined up correct and still nothing.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with iPhone

*2026-08-15, version 3.1.2*

Doesn’t work with iPhone. Unable to access files on phone to upload for shot tracker

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2026-08-14, version 3.1.2*

I’ve been searching for a good gold tracker for a while now and I think I’ve found the one it tracks the ball very well gives you an eagle eye of the golf course all for no subscription.

### 4/5 — Good but over heats

*2026-08-11, version 3.1.2*

It’s a good app, but you can only use the tracer feature for a couple of minutes in the summer. Could this be changed?

### 1/5 — Temperamental

*2026-08-07, version 3.1.2*

Works when it feels like. Pretty poor on many levels.

### 1/5 — Ron

*2026-08-03, version 3.1.2*

Doesn’t work with faster swing/ball speeds

### 2/5 — Can’t Upload Videos From Gallery

*2026-08-01, version 3.1.2*

Great app great idea for an app I paid for the pro version thinking I would be able to upload videos from my gallery to use the tracer on, but for some reason it lets you upload a video and you can only see the share button. can’t submit or confirm. not sure if that’s a bug or not. Same with recorded video from camera too. Maybe I’m doing it wrong

### 1/5 — Absolutely rubbish

*2026-08-01, version 3.1.2*

1 star

Absolutely terrible. I paid for the Pro version specifically to add tracers to videos I’d already recorded, and the app doesn’t do what it advertises. Every time I import a video, it skips the editing process and goes straight to a useless Share screen with no way to create a tracer. I’ve wasted my time trying every possible fix. The interface is confusing, there are no clear instructions, and for a paid app this experience is unacceptable. Save your money and use something else until the developers fix this.
