Get real-time feedback during your practice session to make every rep more productive and efficient. SwingMonitor turns the iPhones and iPads you already own into a live swing camera — no proprietary hardware required. FEATURES • Stream live video to a second iOS device and monitor your practice as it happens. • Split View: watch the front-facing camera and the primary recording camera side by side, from two angles at once. • Record in slow motion or 4K, with a built-in countdown timer. • Continuous recording: SwingMonitor records automatically at a set interval and instantly replays each shot on the connected device — an automatic training aid for the range. Enable auto-dismiss on Shot Replay and the countdown starts on its own. • Center line and horizontal line overlays to help level and center your recording device. • Draw guide lines — pause the Shot Replay view, draw your guides, and they carry over to the Live Feed view automatically. • Save guide lines so you don't have to redraw them every time you switch views. • Save video straight to your Photos album. • Automatically keeps your last five shot replays in the app. • Load two videos and compare them side by side.

Set your iPhone or iPad on a tripod facing you, swing, and look up: the swing you just made is already playing on the screen, a few seconds late. No need to press record, stop or rewind. Free on one device. Golf Swing Partner shows the camera with a delay you choose (2 to 20 seconds), so there is always time to finish your swing, look up and watch it. Every shot, automatically. ■ DELAYED REPLAY, HANDS-FREE - The screen always shows the video from a few seconds ago (2–20 s, 6 s to start) - Normal speed and full screen: your swing exactly as it happened - Switch between Live and Delay with one tap - The screen stays on while you practice ■ YOUR CAMERA AT ITS BEST - Front camera to watch yourself like a mirror, or the main camera for the sharpest picture - Up to your device's maximum resolution and frame rate (up to 4K, up to 240 fps where supported). Higher frame rates mean less blur on the club and hands - Pinch to zoom, double-tap to reset - On iPhones with an ultra wide camera, pinch the main camera out to 0.5× to fit your whole swing in a tight bay ■ IPHONE DUO Fold it on a tripod and the outer camera films you; open it to use the big screen. It always films with the camera on the side you're looking at, and switches by itself as you fold or unfold. ■ TWO DEVICES Film with one device and watch on the other: set one to Camera and the other to Monitor. They connect directly to each other, so no Wi-Fi network or router is needed; just turn on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. After the first pairing they reconnect by themselves. Change the camera's settings and zoom from the monitor. The monitor can also show its own front camera beside the camera's view, at the same moment: face-on and down-the-line, side by side. ■ RECORD YOUR SWINGS Tap record to start and tap again to stop. The video is saved to the Photos app. ■ FREE AND PRO - Free: delay playback on one device with no time limit, and the two-device link for up to 5 minutes - Pro (annual subscription, first month free): unlimited two-device link with the side-by-side view, and recording, on all your devices with the same Apple Account - If you bought Pro as a one-time purchase in an earlier version, you keep it Pro renews automatically every year unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings. ■ PRIVACY No account and no data collected. Video stays on your devices, and recordings go only to your Photos library. Requires iOS or iPadOS 17 or later.
