It worked well when the outside temperature was around 80°f but I recently tried it when the outside temperature was 101°, and it says something along the lines of “use of this can cause phone to overheat during high temperatures” and it wouldn’t let me use the tracer at all. My phone was not hot, it was in shade from the start after leaving my car with a cool temp. I even took it out of the case to feel if it was hot and it was cool to the touch. Unfortunately the app had become useless to me if I can’t use it due to it having my location showing hot outdoor temperatures. I did not try to use my camera and upload the footage part. That’s just another hurdle to go through to just get a tracer. I want to use the built in recorder but can’t. ### 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 ### 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? ### 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 ### 4/5 — SmoothSwing 4 star *2026-07-30, version 3.1.2* When I use the tracker, it doesn’t track my ball. I don’t use pro. I will find a way to fix it. But love the app! ### 3/5 — No family sharing *2026-07-27, version 3.1.2* The app is ok. Pretty much requires a blue sky to work though. No family sharing, so that's pretty damn tight of the developer. Gets 3⭐️ because not a subscription model ### 4/5 — Almost Perfect *2026-07-20, version 3.1.2* This app is EXACTLY what I want. The only thing it needs, and I REALLY hope they come out with an update is horizontal layout as an option. Vertical is fun for looking on the phone and reviewing, but I would love to incorporate these tracers into some fun golf videos for YouTube and the vertical ratio just won’t cut it. Would literally pay more up front for that added feature cause it’s so simple as is and that’s what I love about it. ### 4/5 — Amazing *2026-07-15, version 3.1.2* Great amazing app no subscription non of that just a shot tracer and other features def one of the best golf apps ### 2/5 — Heat issue *2026-06-23, version 3.1.2* Love this app, but it gets hot and doesn’t work way too often. No matter the temperature, direct exposure to sunlight completely disables the tracer. Golf is played outdoors in the sunlight. Hopefully they can fix the issue or make a suggestion as to what I can do to help. This issue also seems to be getting much worse. Surprised there’s been no response to the heat comments. ### 2/5 — Review *2026-06-23, version 3.1.2* I’ve seen that it’s free for the trace but when I try to import a video from camera roll is does not trace? ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2026-06-18, version 3.1.1* Shot tracer is amazingly accurate! Can’t thank you enough seriously. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 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 ### 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 ### 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. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-07-30, version 3.1.2* Doesn’t work at all ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-07-16, version 3.1.2* Paid $10 for the app and you can’t use it when its hot!!?!? The game of golf is played mostly in the summer!! Its ridiculous! Terrible purchase ### 1/5 — Why have to pay *2026-07-07, version 3.1.2* Why do you have to pay for the app to track the ball like WHY do have to ### 1/5 — scam *2026-06-13, version 3.1.0* it won’t even let me import the video after i buy it 😭 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 5/5 — Grate *2026-07-31, version 3.1.2* This app is so fun to use for golf it is easy to use and it is fun to see what your shots looked like ### 5/5 — Great *2026-07-30, version 3.1.2* People in the reviews say you need to purchase this app. You don’t but you can buy premium which tells you how far you’ve hit it but even without premium it still tracks the ball. Didn’t work at first but upon wiping my camera and repositioning it worked perfectly. Great app I would recommend 😊 ### 5/5 — Beyond cool *2026-07-25, version 3.1.2* I had zero expectations trying this out. However, I was blown away when I tried it out. It works really good - at least from what I’ve seen in regards to wedges. Really fun, accurate way to see your ball flight. My kids got a kick out of it too. I don’t know how you did it, but awesome job to whoever developed this program. ### 5/5 — Review *2026-07-25, version 3.1.2* It’s a good app but it only works with white balls other than that it’s great ### 5/5 — Golf app *2026-07-24, version 3.1.2* Amazing Golf app ### 5/5 — It’s great *2026-07-10, version 3.1.2* It’s great. It works in real time. But please can you add landscape mode? If you’re trying to use this to make a YouTube golf video that’s the only thing that’s holding you back. It can only to portrait mode ### 5/5 — 厉害的app *2026-07-10* 这老外就是能系统地学习和帮助更多人 ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-07-06, version 3.1.2* Fun and easy to use ### 5/5 — incroyable *2026-06-20* APS devenue indispensable qui track les balles et qui permet d’affiner les distances grâce au GPS --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
