Great app

Be using the app for about 3 weeks great so far

Great tool

I have about 60 rounds in the Tangent app and it is a great tool for capturing tons of data from your rounds. I use it regularly and if you put your club after every shot, it will help with gapping your club distances and accuracy. The shots gained across the group categories is most useful for deciding what is the most productive practice areas. I like it a lot.

Like Having a Tour-Quality Caddie in Your Pocket

If you're a golf nerd, or simply serious about improving your game, this is the app for you. It is far more than a basic GPS app that just warns you about hazards and shows distances. It is a true caddie on your phone and on your wrist.

Think about what you pay for a couple of lessons, or how much you spend on range balls trying to hone your swing—only to get to the course and watch it all go south. Tangent doesn't leave you stranded. It stays right there with you, recommending the best shot for YOUR specific swing. As your game improves, Tangent tracks that information and grows right along with you.

There is an old idiom that says 'practice makes perfect,' but the truth is practice makes permanent, not perfect. Like a good coach, Tangent takes the emotion out of your game. It analyzes your rounds and points you directly to the areas you need to work on to make the most of your practice time. For example, it might show you that you need to work on lag putting to get the ball within 3 feet, rather than stressing over making 8-to-10 footers. Best of all, Tangent then suggests specific practice drills and routines to help you strengthen those weak areas.

In summary, Tangent is a GPS, a tour-quality caddie, and a coach all in one app—all for the cost of a couple of buckets of balls or a single lesson with a swing coach. And best of all, it doesn't leave you. It is right there with you for every single round."

Great Golf App

I have been using Tangent Golf for about 6 months now. I used to use a different app that is very popular - but I didn’t think it was worth the annual subscription rate. Tangent has been a game changer for me. I am able to set the target handicap I want to achieve, track all my shots, use the AI Caddie for assistance and it is loaded with great videos and teaching guides to help improve my game. The folks at Tangent are VERY VERY responsive and eager to improve the app with suggestions from users. I use my Apple watch during the round to confirm my clubs/shots that the app captures. After 2 or 3 rounds it became very intuitive. I highly recommend this app if you are looking for yardages and insight on how to improve your game.

A Deeper Look at Your Game

I’ve been tracking golf stats for years and have tried most of the major golf tracking apps. I’ve never come across one that gives this level of detail about what’s actually happening in your on-course game.

You can track as much or as little detail as you want, depending on the information you’re looking to get from your game. It’s very user-friendly on the course and doesn’t get in the way of the round. I’m only a few rounds in, but I’m looking forward to seeing what patterns emerge that I might not otherwise recognize without this level of data.

Ernesto’s review

This app has everything you want and more. It helped me understand my club selection so much better ending in reducing my handicap by 7 strokes. It is a winner!!!

Real life caddy… in your hand!

I’ve been really impressed with TANGENT. The AI Caddy feature is genuinely unbelievable – it gives smart, realistic advice that makes playing new courses so much easier. It is brilliant for course management too, helping me make better decisions instead of just grabbing my driver every hole. The best golf app i have used and I’ve used them all!

Still getting used to it but love it so far

Slight bias as my brother works for them but overall love the app haven’t been playing my best lately but like how it shows my weaknesses easier and as long as I say what club I hit I know what to focus on the range with

game changer

Worth the learning curve, an app and coach in one. Meaningful insights with the data to back it up. If you to dive into your game this is the one for you

Great GPS features.

I have been using a different GPS app for five years. Recently tried Tangent golf because I wanted more features like dispersion, wind etc. Tangent does that really well.

The app pushes the social stuff a litte too heavily IMO. Maybe that should be a different app or give the user the ability to turn that off. Otherwise a great golf GPS app.

Might Enjoy Someday

I’ve tried several times to download this app. Unfortunately, it will not allow me to get past the login settings information. I might try again one day in the future.

Worthwhile learning curve to Great App!!

I’ve tried and explored a lot of the available golf apps. My goal is to record my round without distraction while playing, without sensors. I like to see club distances during play and learn from my play so as to know how best to direct my practice. This isn’t a perfect app, but it gets the job done very well and offers as much or as little feedback as you may want. There is a learning curve and in that period it is easy to become frustrated feel undesirably distracted from the round or your surroundings. The benefits of using this app once you are comfortable with entering whatever info you wish to provide during the round - and after the app has learned your game better (at least 3-5 rounds, the more the better) - is well worth it. Its tracking is very good and as good or much better than most of the other sensor-less apps out there. Is this Arccos - no; are its maps as good as garmin watch - not quite, but the information is still there; does it cost as much as those two -no; do you get nearly as much useful feedback - I think so!! Try it and stick with it, it’ll pay off!!

The Tangent Golf App helps me improve

I have used the Tangent App for about 2 years and find the feedback useful. I use it with my apple watch every round (120 to date). Support response is quick and very helpful. I would recommend this app for any serious golfer.

Best golf app if you want to improve

If you are serious about improving your game, drop the normal social apps and pick this up. Not only are they always building new features, they respond quickly to feedback. Most apps just track fairways, greens and putts which don’t really give you the entire picture of your weak spots of your game.

Best Apple Watch golf app

Little clunky UI but once you figure it out it’s the best there is

Paul

Excellent app with superb customer support.

Response from developer

Boom. Thank you. Couldn't have said it better ourselves.

Best App by Far

First week of using Tangent was sceptical at first have used both Arcoss and Shot Scope this has them both beat, bar far the easiest to use and the data available it outstanding

Response from developer

Love this. Thank you so much.

Still amazing

This app really has it all. I keep trying other golf apps, but none of them come close to how good the watch app is. The automatic shot tracking is just amazing, and the ability to record all your shots is super simple to do. You get all your AI caddy recommendations. It is absolutely wonderful.

Blown away!

This is an incredible app! Paired with the Apple Watch, the features and ease of use are amazing! It’s like having a launch monitor for every shot you take. I cannot recommend it enough.

Response from developer

Hmm... Launch monitor for every shot. I like the sound of that. ;)

Awesome golf caddie app.

I have used just about every golf app out there. Tangent is light years above any of them. It does take 4-5 rounds to really get the hang of how to work the watch for shot location, penalty addition, and scoring, but once you have it down it is seamless and provides awesome data for you fellow data nerds out there! And club suggestions really make it much easier to make those decisions in the moment. Absolutely worth the $120 per year.
