### 5/5 — Best Golf Hack on the market

*2020-01-09, version 1.4.3*

This guy is an absolute genius.  Please give me an update for Kevin Kisners tempo.  Clean layout.  Payne Stewart is spelled wrong.

### 1/5 — Very Poor

*2019-08-29*

Next to useless

### 3/5 — Great app but sound much too low

*2018-10-15*

Great app except for one thing. The sound level is much too low. Hopefully, the developer will see this review and release a new version asap that has the sound level much louder.

### 4/5 — Swing Tempo

*2018-10-02*

Works really well. Very helpful.
One problem-the sound is not nearly loud enough.

### 3/5 — Volume issue needs to be fixed  as of 5/18

*2018-05-17, version 1.4.3*

Hi this app works fine and has a. Nice visual but or some reason  the volume is not loud enough to hear at the range unless it’s plugged in to the earphone, which defeats the purpose of the nice visual.  I emailed the developer, but so far no response,

### 3/5 — Fix blue tooth

*2018-02-04, version 1.4.3*

Awesome app! Love how you can control rhythm with the settings.  Just seems to be in big delay when using blue tooth. Don’t even hear downswing beep when using blue tooth.  If that gets fixed, best tempo app out there.

### 5/5 — Simple is Better

*2013-06-19*

This is a good example of how a very basic, properly-written app can be all you need for something. In this case, golf swing tempo, which is critical to the game. Addictive to use and easy to monkey with the tempo, & compare with Woods & Els. Well done!

### 5/5 — Does work with headphones

*2013-02-25, version 1.3.1*

Initial post regarding headphones was a user error. App works great!!!!

### 5/5 — Simple and effective

*2012-12-10, version 1.3.1*

1 week of practicing with this and I've never hit the ball more consistently or with as much power. Best golf improvement tool I've ever used. If you know what you're supposed to do but sometimes get too technical, this is for you.

### 1/5 — Unstable.

*2012-05-28, version 1.1*

Mine closes after 1 to 3 swings.   Maybe it doesn't work well on ios5. All my other programs are fine.  Otherwise, it's good and seems like it would be helpful.
