Shot Scope

The concept is simple. Use the RF tags on my clubs to track every shot. Look at the results later. However, during a round you also have to tap on this UI constantly while interrupting your round. I shot an entire round today, tracked every shot. Half of them were set to the first hole because the app went to sleep and when I resumed it, it went back to zero. Each time the app resets I have to resume the round and reset every option for brightness etc. I have never seen something so utterly frustrating in my life. This is an app made for golf, a sport that requires flow and concentration and this app is doing everything possible to distract me and take me out of my game. If I tag a shot on the 5th tee, how is it possible it thinks is the 12th shot of hole 1?? Why do I pull my phone back out and the scanner is hidden and I have to go to the map and back to the scanner again. Why, why, WHY. This is the most horrible app ever. Absolute garbage.

The problem is with the App. (1) Uploading rounds is a pain. I click to sync rounds and it just stops or sticks at a certain percentage, usually 97%. I have to uninstall the app, reinstall, hard reset the Shot Scope device and then it will sync. (2) You can not edit your score or round until after it’s synced. This can not be done without adding missed shots after the round. This is near impossible on the app as nothing works. How am I supposed to remember what shots were taken over the course of an 18 hole round if not captured during the round? Especially when I have to wait to get to a computer. Wouldn’t it be better to be able to do it during the round or to have a functional app that actually allows simple stroke additions or score changes.3) App is terrible. It is constantly freezing and I am constantly having to uninstall and then reinstall it. I click to edit round and nothing works. I have to do all of this on the website page. Generally, the data is awesome and I love the device, but there needs to be some serious work on the app before this is user friendly.

Overall the app is good, but it could be much better. They need to bring all the stats that are on the web version to the app. It’s a pain that in order to see the data that matters I have to whip out my computer. Wish they had dark mode. Wish you could actually share round data rather than just screenshots of rounds or holes (they’re missing out on huge marketing here as I’d love to send a round to you friends). After editing a round you have to say “Sign Off” which is a really confusing phrase especially when they refer to it as Save everywhere else in the app (and there is Sign Out in other parts of the app). Doesn’t seem like it’s been tested on iPhone 12 mini as all page titles hit the top of the screen. “Courses” and “Course Hub” are confusing to me. Don’t know the difference. Club filtering is annoying as it scrolls back to the beginning whenever you select a club. All-in-all the app and product is really good, but there are small tweaks and improvement that could make it great. They need to keep investing in cleaning things up and bringing more and more data to the app. This product is better than Arccos because they focus on the data. If they double down on that they will grab market share from serious golfers looking to better understand their game.
