Never misread a putt again. PuttView shows you exactly why you're missing. The average amateur golfer takes 40 putts per round, while PGA Tour players only take 29. This 11-stroke gap is the most recoverable gap in golf - and PuttView helps you close that efficiently. Instead of just rolling putts, start practice deliberately with immediate and accurate feedback on every putt. Using your iPhone's LiDAR sensor, PuttView scans any green and overlays precise, data-based visuals directly on the surface. Contour lines, slope arrows, the correct putting line, aiming point, and speed and distance data. All in real time. On any real green, indoors or outdoors. No guesswork. No estimation. Just the read. What PuttView shows you: Contour Lines See the exact topography of the green. Scan any surface, with or without a putt lined up. Understand how it breaks before you ever address the ball. Slope Arrows: Instant directional cues showing the fall line at every point on the green. The exact direction the ball would roll downhill. Read the green faster, more accurately. Ideal Line: Not just the optimal line. The correct line, calculated for perfect pace. See exactly where your ball needs to travel from the moment it leaves the putter face until it hits the bottom of the cup. Aiming Line & Aiming Point: A precisely defined start direction and target point. Eliminate alignment guesswork entirely. Putt Info: Speed, distance, and break data for every putt. Build a feel for pace and line grounded in real numbers. Built for golfers who take their game seriously. The PuttView app is not a simulator. It works on any green, outdoors, and indoors. The same technology trusted by tour professionals, elite coaches, and leading training facilities worldwide is now in your pocket. Scan. Read. Putt.

Golf Swing Camera helps players and coaches record, review, and share golf swings on iPhone and iPad. Set up your phone, step into view, and swing when ready. The app watches for swing motion during a continuous practice session, automatically captures each swing, trims the clip, saves it to your library, and opens it for review. Keep practicing without walking back to the camera after every shot. MANUAL RECORDING FOR COACHES Choose Manual on the camera screen to start and stop recording yourself. Film a player, drill, or demonstration and save the full video without automatic swing trimming. Automatic recording remains the default. Set Manual as your default recording mode in Settings if you mainly use the app for lessons. REVIEW EVERY DETAIL Watch swings in slow motion at 0.25x, 0.5x, or full speed. Step through frames, loop key sections, scrub precisely, add swing-position markers, draw lines and angles, and use body-point overlays and suggested checkpoints to study your movement. COMPARE SWINGS SIDE BY SIDE Choose two swings from a session or directly from review. Play them together with synchronized slow motion, pause on matching positions, and scrub both clips precisely to spot changes in setup, sequencing, and impact. CREATE A COACH REVIEW Record a narrated review with synchronized playback, pauses, and timed drawings. Voice processing uses the iPhone's built-in microphone for clear narration, and the finished review can be shared with a student, coach, or friend. BUILT FOR PRACTICE • Automatic swing capture or manual start and stop • Recording up to 240 fps on supported devices • Adaptive frame rates when device conditions require it • Front and rear camera support • Configurable pre-roll and post-roll • Local swing library organized by practice session • Multi-select for comparing or deleting clips • Import swing videos from Photos • Share original, annotated, or Coach Review clips • Optional iCloud library sync over Wi-Fi or cellular PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account is required. Your videos stay on your device by default. If you enable iCloud sync, your library is stored privately in your iCloud account. Golf Swing Camera does not upload your swings to our servers.
