Wow
Where you are when you are! Easy to use and so much great information here.
Changed my Driver game
My dirver had been slicing since the beginning of my golf journey. Then I saw this app from watching coach Eric’s videos on YouTube. It has everything I need and now my driver is not slicing anymore 😎😎
Multi device Support broken
I loved the App. But After Not singing in isome time it is broken on my iPad. My yearly subscription is not loaded (endless “loading subscriptions…” screen. I can’t login with my apple account. This sucks.
Best app I have used
Fantastic information. The other apps can cause problems with all the metrics. I absolutely love this app!
no front camera option
It is only possible to use the main camera, an option to chose the front camera is not available. This makes the usage of the app very clunky, as for the setup you have constantly walk back to the phone and check, try again, again and again. Very annoying. It is an easy feature to implement. Most likely thats the reason for me not to renew the subscription of this app. THX

Response from developer
Swing Coach exclusively uses the rear camera, as that provides the best images for analysis and measurement. Rear cameras on iPhones / iPads have larger and higher quality lenses and sensors than the front cameras. Accuracy is priority number one for Swing Coach, which is why the front camera is not enabled.
Great for practice and getting your groove dialed in
Great app
Best in class but the new hit detection doesn’t work (it still captures practice swings)
The latest update added a feature that is supposed to help it discern between practic swings and real shots, but whatever it is doesn’t work very well. Once enabled, it still captures and analyzes practice swings more often than not.
Not helpful
Tells you what’s wrong but doesn’t really help on how to fix. Then kept saying my iPhone wasn’t level and then oh yes, guess what, it’s starts trying to sell me a tripod. Goodbye.
Oh wow
Been playing golf on and off for a few years but recently took it back up. Sometimes contact is good and sometimes it looks like I’ve never played before! Swing coach is definitely helping me identify inconsistent areas and the feedback provided is so accurate. I’m using the coaches drills to try and eliminate/remove some poor habits, but it’s fun trying what they suggest and re-recording to see if the practice has worked.
All I have to do is now, is create a new swing… simple 😅
It’s genuinely a great app

Simply frustrating to use solo.
Update on my initial May review.
I had high hopes for this app but I found it difficult to get a base to improve upon. Hands too far / close at set up was a constant source of annoyance. I believe this to be due to iphone set up positioning, slightly too high or low, too inside or outside, all influence the analysis.
This set up flaw dominated the coach feedback thus limiting any constructive feedback when on the range with the app.
I’ve went to the extent of using a camera tripod and a tape measure in an attempt to fix the issue but it persists. My golf range at the course is just a converted farmer’s field so the lies are not flat.
Ultimately I haven’t managed to change my swing even a small amount after perhaps 700 swings on the app.
I think it’s still a useful tool but I doubt I’ll renew my subscription.
By the way I’d recommend paying monthly for a few months to confirm usefulness before committing to the annual fee. The two week trial isn’t sufficient time to assess whether the app is worth the yearly investment.
My initial review.
Certainly a powerful practice assistant. While the 5 star review are plentiful, there’s still refinement required to make this app universally beneficial.
Obvious frustrations occur such as the App confirming you’re not in position when you’re putting the ball on the tee.
Personally, I couldn’t move the main issues highlighted (Hands Low at top, Spine forward half way down and Lead knee forward at impact). The included coaching videos essentially said feel the opposite, which I unfortunately couldn’t.
Just to add you have to change ‘coach’ to explore if there is a coaching video for an issue. There’s not that many at present.

Great with 1 major flaw and 1 annoyance
It does not detect practice swings…
It detects everything else
Your standing up take a practice…it starts talking to you
Please fix this
Annoyance: it starts talking about posture very quickly…I’m not in my posture…give me a second

Good but needs a tweak
Currently only the rear cameras can record so you can’t see your iPhone screen while hitting. Need the forward camera as selectable with an instantly replay on the screen the player can see from the hitting area.
Good feedback but not perfect
The checkpoints in the entire swing are excellent. That said it does not detect good ball contact, but swings only. I would like to see more hands checkpoints while face on. I’ll continue to use this, unsure if I’ll renew.
The best golf training aid
Incredibly useful app that gives instantaneous feedback swing by swing. Golfers can dial into specific parts of the swing to make improvements. The absolute best training aid I’ve used, ever.
Incredible
The feedback and swing analysis is fantastic. After 50 swings I got swing and connection on plain.
Waste of time
App couldn’t locate me, kept telling me to move forward. Changed to lighter clothes, tried all sorts of distances and settings,changed location and background. Eventually it stopped communicating but did pick up one swing but couldn’t analyse.
Excellent
Way better than I thought. Has improved my game
Great program
Tried the program on a free trial and after a few days immediately upgraded to the full program. This program is a whole lot less money than a coach and works whenever you wanna work. Feedback is really good and after a few weeks feeling like getting dialed in on a few skills that I was missing. You can customize the program to work on specific areas or use on preset areas.

Brilliant!
I tried this out in a dimly lit simulator bay wearing a black glove. It still picked up every shot automatically. The instant feedback and the video instructions from Danny set this app on another level from every other one out there.
So Worth It
So I don’t think i’ve ever written a review for something on the app store, but i felt like i had to here. #1 it works very well tech wise, id highly recommend a collapsable tripod from amazon though to keep in your bag. #2 is the immediate feedback. This app makes practicing consistency and ballstriking much more deliberate without much effort. #3 lastly the value is well worth it. A private 1 on 1 lesson with a pro costs upwards of 100/hr, and while those definitely still have their place for improving, this app can do a lot of things a coach can do, and some it cant. Overall, if you are trying to improve at golf and are looking for apps to help, this is a no brainer.
