Best Golf App for actually improving

Tangent has become an essential part of my golf journey. It helps me understand what is actually happening in my game - not just what I think is happening.

It’s easy to use. Genuinely useful. And gives you a detailed post round report to see where you need to improve.

If you’re serious about your golf game. Tangent is definitely worth the money.

Excellent app

Love it

Best of the bunch

I’ve tried a number of the golf apps (Game Golf, GolfShot Pro and Arccos) and this is the best so far. Each of them had their strengths, but also had some weaknesses. I love the in-game/post-game stats, the Smart AI Caddie and the ability to do everything off the Apple Watch. This app will adapt to your game and help you with your strengths & strategy on the course, helping lower your score. The app can suggest practice drills based on your weaknesses and being a golfer in a northern climate, the app includes a SIM feature allowing me to track my stats year round. Definitely an app you should checkout if you are serious about playing better golf and lowering your scores.

Amazing data!

The information that is provided by the app is crazy. It’s very cool yo be able to drill down and see where you need to work and what you can control. I love it!

Worst golf app I’ve ever tried

Where do I begin?

This app has serious issues.

Here’s the rundown. The UI is absolutely abhorrent. It burns my eyes and I’d find myself throwing up in my mouth periodically. It’s chunky, clunky, and ugly. It has horrible colors (yes I know you can theme it but why not just use good colors to begin with?). The UX is literally a hellscape, design to cause maximum pain and suffering to the user.

But wait… There’s more! There are TONS of bugs. You hit a shot? Good luck changing the club. It works about 10% of the time.

You forget to set the clubs for a hole, yep, you’re toast!

Need to add or remove a shot, good luck!

Want your stats, nope! Those are a nightmare to navigate.

And just logging in to this thing is a joke. They could easily use an industry standard solution like FusionAuth, but nooooooo. They decided to implement everything themselves. And it’s brutal. No password fill hints, no Passkeys, nothing.

Skip the pain and suffering and just get Arccos Air. It’s soooooo much better than Tangent.
