DiscScout: Rangefinder and Smart Caddie for Disc Golf Know your distances, know your discs, and know exactly what to throw. DiscScout measures your throws, shows how every disc in your bag really flies, and suggests the right disc for every shot, from your iPhone or straight from your wrist. RECORD THROWS FROM YOUR WRIST • Apple Watch app: mark where you threw from and where it landed, no phone needed. • Accurate GPS: every point averages a burst of readings for a steadier fix. • Keep playing: start your next throw from your last lie, and undo a mistake with a tap. • Double Tap on supported Apple Watch models to mark throws hands-free. • Sessions are saved to Apple Health as Disc Sports workouts and count towards your Activity rings. SEE HOW YOUR BAG FLIES • Flight charts: see the estimated flight of every disc, tuned to your arm speed. • Your real flight numbers: beat-in or unusual disc? Enter how it actually flies and the charts follow. • Bag coverage: a speed-by-stability grid shows where your bag has gaps and which discs overlap. • Fill the gaps: tap a gap to see discs you already own that would fill it. • Multiple bags: build a bag for each course or condition, and pick your active bag on iPhone or Watch. PLAN EVERY SHOT • Rangefinder: measure the distance to your target on an interactive satellite map. • Elevation and wind: factor in height differences and live wind speed and direction. • Smart disc suggestions: recommendations based on how far you actually throw each disc. TRACK YOUR GAME • Statistics and charts: averages, longest throws and distance distributions by disc and throw type. • Filter and edit: find throws by disc, date or throw type, and fix details afterwards. • Your go-to throw: set your dominant throw once and it's preselected every time. • iCloud sync: your discs, bags and throws stay in sync between your iPhone and Apple Watch. Whether you're practising in a field or playing a tournament round, DiscScout helps you understand your discs and make better decisions. It's the perfect companion for beginners learning how discs fly and experienced players fine-tuning their bag. Download DiscScout and start throwing smarter!
