### 4/5 — Solid but crashes

*2026-07-30, version 1.7.25*

Very great app, has fixed my swing substantially, but it crashed quite often especially when trying to render more features inside the app. Really hope there’s a solution to that

### 3/5 — Crashes

*2026-07-09, version 1.7.25*

Great Ai trainer 
Quick and easy 
To the point 
It just crashes a lot

### 3/5 — App constantly crashes now

*2026-06-19, version 1.7.25*

Not sure what happened but as soon as they added the AI voiceover on video uploads, the app constantly freezes and crashes. Often the app won’t open until you force close several times. Really disappointing. Also wish you could compare your swing to a specific pro that has a closer swing to yours. I cancelled my subscription

### 2/5 — Frequent App Crashes

*2026-06-10, version 1.7.25*

The app crashes ALL THE TIME. No matter what you are doing in the app, there is risk of it crashing.  The only reason this isn’t a 1 star review is that it did help me improve my swing on the first day I used it as a beginner. However, 100% of the time, the “Personal Video Lessons” crash the app. At first the personal video lessons get stuck “processing” and then the app consistently crashes. Will likely cancel after the free 7 day trial and look for another app with swing analysis.

### 2/5 — Works but close to being a scam given the lack of support with customer service

*2026-06-09, version 1.7.25*

I want to love this app. However the support I have gotten from the company is awful. Their customer service email doesn't work. They are quick to take your money however. Also they charge you extra for the ability to share access but no clear way on how to do that. Garbage

### 2/5 — App crashes during personal lessons

*2026-05-30, version 1.7.25*

The swing analysis works great but when I try to use the personal lesson feature the app crashes. Not worth paying for if the app doesn’t work properly.

### 2/5 — Horrible app

*2026-05-30*

At first, when I got the app, I thought it was really useful and good but then I realized how often it miss reads everything and then I started paying the subscription for it to see if it would get better and then about two weeks later I tried to upload a video from my last one and it wouldn’t load a video at all and would get stuck at 99% rather than tell me what I was doing wrong overall horrible app and the developers pay no attention to it

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time

*2026-05-20, version 1.7.25*

On first glance, the app looks like it would be great, but it isn’t. Crashes anytime I try to create the personalized training plan. Don’t waste your time like I did.

### 1/5 — Incorrect swing recognition

*2026-05-05, version 1.7.25*

It couldn’t tell what was a swing and what wasn’t. Recorded the wrong things. Worse yet, my two highest “swing” scores were for times it recorded me just getting into position and addressing the ball. This gave me less than zero confidence in the analysis

### 4/5 — Very helpful but a lil broke

*2026-03-25, version 1.7.25*

The app itself is great but when I try to use the ai custom vids it makes it crashes every time so that is something that needs to be fixed

### 2/5 — Inconsistent

*2026-03-21, version 1.7.25*

Trying to upload videos is it an absolute joke during a real time swings it doesn’t capture the swings and the tailored lessons do it again, do it again no do it again your arm is not straight enough. I almost hurt my shoulder. Therefore, I canceled the subscription.

### 3/5 — Good bad

*2026-03-07, version 1.7.25*

I was using the app and was walking away form the recording and it just started fixing how I walk instead of my swing. If you want a better experience you have to up grade which I don’t want to send money.

### 2/5 — Don’t trust ratings

*2026-02-24, version 1.7.25*

I was surprised at the low ratings it was giving on my swings so I decided to put a video of Rory’s swing to see what it would give him. I kid you not it gave him a 5.9 out of 10.

### 1/5 — dumb app

*2026-02-01, version 1.7.25*

it thinks my bottom arm is my front when it comes to locking front arm and doesn’t even give full analysis on swing plus it gives one pro for reference the same one everytime like they think he has the perfect swing this app is useless and it’s not good for you to mess or tweak with your swing get a rhythm and the basics mechanics not mr pro golfer mechanics in this app

### 1/5 — Terrible Customer Service

*2026-01-20, version 1.7.25*

I signed up for their free trial. Admittedly, I forgot to cancel and was sent an email from Apple that I was charged the one year fee. That’s fine. My bad. However, I emailed their customer service requesting a refund and never got a response. I understand I made a mistake by not canceling earlier but have the decency to reply.

### 1/5 — What happened

*2026-01-07, version 1.7.25*

App used to be good.  Now it just seems confused.  Misidentifies my arms and the ball and thinks I’m face on when I’m down the line.  Used to be good now is just garbage

### 1/5 — Customer Support.

*2026-07-28, version 1.7.25*

Tried to get in contact with customer support by email on 6/22/26. In the email return it says someone from their support team will reach out 1 to 2 business days. Have heard nothing from them and it’s almost August.

Unfortunately unusable. Cool idea. Crashed not stop. Couldn’t use most of the features

### 1/5 — Crash every time

*2026-07-02, version 1.7.25*

I just downloaded this app and started using it. Uploaded front facing and down-the-line videos for analysis. It provided helpful tips but it crashed every time. Not sure if I’ll get it after the free trial period because of that.

*2026-06-22, version 1.7.25*

I cant log in and use this thing on my ipad, the keypad blocks the button to accept the dual factor code entry.

### 1/5 — Complete Scam - stay away

*2026-06-10, version 1.7.25*

I got the trial for this and had successfully canceled the trial and they charged me $119. Stay away, criminal behavior.

### 1/5 — Personalisation doesn’t work.  No support

*2026-06-07, version 1.7.25*

Paid for the Pro version. Crashes on both iPad and iPhone (latest versions of both, iOS up to date).  Emailed customer services, ignored.

Don’t buy this.

Gives great. Feed back on what to improve on my swing and it’s very easy to use and apply. 100% recommend

### 5/5 — Can even login

*2026-06-29, version 1.7.25*

I heard good things about this app and downloaded it. I entered my phone.  Got a code entered it then went and entered my full name and preferred name and that all I can do.  The keyboard blocks the next button!  Ridiculous for this to be a problem!  How can you not test this?!?  Is it a font size? I don’t know but geez!

### 5/5 — Fantastic App

*2025-11-01, version 1.7.24*

This app is super helpful and for the price of one golf lesson per year, you’re getting endless access to your own swing analysis, drills and progress.

### 5/5 — This is fantastic!

*2025-10-21, version 1.7.24*

I thought I was doing it right and this app helped me noticing everything that’s wrong with my swing using each club. I’m subscribing right now!

### 5/5 — Brilliant Idea 🌟

I don’t know much about the golf swing, but everything it’s saying I’m doing or not doing, I can visibly see it on the video! I love it!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2025-09-16, version 1.7.24*

### 5/5 — Driver

The complete break down is amazing

### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed!

*2025-06-14, version 1.7.22*

### 5/5 — Stacks Up Against Real Golf Coaches!

*2025-02-01, version 1.7.16*

Great App
