Sweetspot Golf — Your Personal Golf Coach Golf practice, made simple: for consistent golf, a better handicap and more fun. Good shots on the range but no consistency on the course? Too many thoughts during your swing? Not enough distance off the tee? Sweetspot Golf brings structure to your practice and helps you improve step by step. YOUR TRAINING BUDDY — YOUR DIGITAL COACH Enter your current and your target handicap. The Buddy compares your game against insights from over 14,000 amateur rounds and shows you where you lose the most strokes – and what to train next. Data-driven, personal, no guesswork. YOUR TRAINING PLAN — YOUR TIME, YOUR PROGRESS Tell us which days and how long you want to practise – the app spends your time on the areas where the most strokes are waiting for you. The home screen shows your goal as a golf hole: tee shots, long game, short game and putting, each with the strokes you can still gain there. The Coaching tab holds your weekly plan, the training calendar and three guided video trainings by PGA pro Fabian Bünker: Speed Stick, Putting and Short Game. THE TRAININGS • Rhythm Trainer: pick a pattern and a tempo – optionally Fabian's voice counts the beat, even with the screen locked. On Apple Watch you feel the rhythm on your wrist. • Launch Monitor: connect your Garmin R10 (Bluetooth) or PiTrac (Wi-Fi). The training strips the data down to the one or two metrics that matter per club – with targets for your handicap and instant feedback. • Golf Wheel of Fortune: the wheel spins up random distance tasks for putting and short game – every session different. No more hitting 50 identical shots – rate results straight from your Apple Watch. • Ball Sequence: every ball has to carry longer or shorter than the previous one. How long can you make your perfect streak? • Speed Training: systematic overspeed workouts with your launch monitor for more distance off the tee. • Swing Mirror: one device films, the other is your mirror – watch yourself swing live, no Wi-Fi network or internet needed. The session saves to your Photo Library. • Success Journal: check in before a session or round, set your focus, reflect afterwards. Your mental caddie. YOUR PROGRESS The Training Handicap shows your practice effort on the familiar scale from 54 towards 0 – with a weekly goal and trend, independent of your official handicap. The handicap trend of the last 12 months shows how close you are to your goal. And whether Garmin, FlightScope, Rapsodo, Uneekor or GSPro: import your launch monitor's session exports and every shot joins one history. THE CLUBHOUSE Leaderboards, 32 awards, duels and community. Compete on your longest Ball Sequence streak, challenge friends to 1v1 Golf Wheel of Fortune duels, or – with Sign in with Apple – create private groups with their own leaderboards. Privacy first: you only appear on leaderboards if you explicitly turn it on. Signing in is optional, and you can delete your account anytime in the app. PASSES Try 10 days for free.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HIO at none against Sweetspot Golf's 2. HIO also leads on iOS requirement (16.6 vs 18.0). Sweetspot Golf's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
