Great tech

The only thing would be to have more visible arrows to what the wind is doing.

Pas fameux très décevant

Si le réseau cellulaire n’est pas efficace la montre se vide très rapidement et impossible de terminer sa game de golf. Je vais retourner à ma montre Garmin golf qui fonctionne partout sans problème

Love it

I’ve used this app since 2011 ish. It was called swing by swing when it started . Works great !

Question some club suggestions.

Why does it recommend a drive off the fairway?

Great GPS App

Can’t believe how accurate this is with my iPhone. I can see the distance to obstacles and quickly determined yardage center of THE GREEN front and back yardage.

I have been using this app for many years and recommended to my friends I play golf with.

I recommend you download the app on your iPhone or smart phone before you buy a GPS device. I promise you won’t the wrong!

Awesome

More accurate ten most

Retired 66 years old.

I love the game but am not a long ball hitter. I always wanted to know distance to a lay up location. SwingU gives an arial view of the fairway I’m playing and provides hazard locations. After pinning a spot I want to land; I get yardage to the pinned location and yardage to the green from the pinned location. I love this option; and to top it all off, I can keep score on the app as well. LOVE IT!

I like some of the golf advice provided when first opening the app.

Doesn’t save

I’ve had this app for years and used to love it. Be careful because they will overcharged you on a subscription renewal more than what they charge for new people to subscribe. And you can’t save a round. It keeps telling me that it won’t save. And I have on multiple times. Try to get somebody to help out with it and I get no response from them. Used to love this app but it’s ridiculous that over the last year and a half, you can’t save anything. And then you get overcharged for it anyway.

Love this

This app is awesome. Does everything an expensive gps does and more. Distances are super accurate

It works

This app works as long as you put in the data. If you’re not a data guy or girl forget it.

Went to Swingu pro

July 17 Sunday played in Dorchester GC Crossville. Was rainy, wet damp, rough difficult. Needed my app to improve what club to hit great app !

July 15 2026
Chris and I played stonehenge Crossville tn. This app kept me out of all types of harm. I cant play golf without SWINGU!

Oct 2025: Well I have tried Swingu PRO all 2025 golf season. Started May 22 & yup I have seen an improvement.
I am member : meetup, BNA , TGE, BEGA and Sunset Landing. (Since I stopped using my watch in AUG I have had to depend on Swingu PRO and I’ve really seen a difference.
I’ve had to concentrate using SwingU learning how to use it after all these years of having swingU app on my iPhone, so my advice to you is only you SwingU get rid of all your other toys!
your score sheets your watch, your golf card! I certainly recommend this APP! Pdgutie

Newest version spams you to upgrade

One of my favorite things about SwingU (and why I’ve subscribed in the past) is because it’s quality and accessibility, offering a few more things for free than competitors. The latest update puts nearly everything behind a paywall and has no clear differences between options. Go to enter your score, get an add to upgrade. Tap on scoring options you’re used to tracking, like tee shot left/right, get an add to upgrade. How many times do I need to see an add DURING A ROUND TO UPGRADE? Around 20 times my last round. Sorry SwingU, I just bought a rangefinder.

Edit: I ended up giving and paying for a heavily discounted upgrade. The elevations are listed are never correct, and it’s not even close. Like consistently tells you the hole is uphill when it’s downhill wrong. On top of that, they won’t give me a refund because I waited too long to ask. Do yourself a favor and try another app.

Spot on

This app is perfect.

Meter??

Golf is played in Yards not meters.

Great App

Downloaded yesterday because I had a round coming up. Easy to use, saves all your data, fairways, bunkers hit, penalties incurred. Better than taking notes!

Gps terrible now

After having the app for several years this year the gps is extremely slow to catch up and gives the wrong yardage for several seconds most times i have to background the app and open it to fix it, just paid for renewal in April and they refused to refund the renewal since I bought The Grint which is cheaper and a far superior app

Great App! Has elevated my game!

Great app

Yardages are right on. Forget those handheld devices!!!

SwingU

Been a big fan of swingu for a few years now. The yardages are always accurate and keeps track of my scores and handicap just how I prefer. 10/10

이건 뭐..

앱 설명과 넘 다르네. 내 돈 ㅠㅜ
