Shot Pattern - Golf GPS

I’m a paid user of the app. The ability to preview rounds and easily select targets and choose clubs is awesome. By itself, that makes the app worth having. But I got a paid sub so that I could enter my rounds and track my strokes gained. I waited until the GPS tracking was available, as I didn’t want to manually record everything (which the app DOES make quite easy, btw). The live round entry is a nightmare due to the existing bugs. For example, after tracking the first shot, when I change the flag position (once I’m close enough to actually see the green), sometimes the option to track shot #2 disappears. So I have to exit my round and come back to edit an existing round. That wouldn’t be a deal breaker except that occasionally, ~HALF OF THE SHOTS I PREVIOUSLY ENTERED HAVE NOW DISAPPEARED. Gone. As in, I’ll have gotten a par, but now shots 2 and 4 are just gone, while the app still shows shots 1 and 3, and has marked me down for an eagle. This has happened repeatedly, including AFTER finalizing a round and going back to edit a single hole. This is extremely frustrating, and for me, makes the app unusable for live round entry. There are other smaller bugs as well, but nothing near as bad as just losing/deleting shot data randomly. I’m a technical PM so I’m familiar with the challenges of building software and handling non-happy path edge cases, but these are critical failures. This app simply needs more testing (and subsequent bug fixes) before it’s ready for primetime. It’s capable of being quite good.

Was hoping this app would track my shots as I played so paid for the yearly subscription. Should have done my research because it does not. Yes it will give you dispersion data if you upload from a launch monitor that many of us do not have and yes it will show dispersion of clubs if you MANUALLY enter all shot data from a round to include targets you chose and resulting shot. I'm sorry but I can barely remember what I had for breakfast let alone 80-90 club selections, targets and results in a round. Way to much money for a year and it won't even track where you hit your ball too. It says no on course disruptions but its a huge disruption writing down all the club choices and results just To have to manually enter it in at the end of a round. It would be great if they at least had a club selector in app and a “I'm at my ball” button to at least gather that data. Other apps even have watch apps that do that. Its a great concept but in reality to much work to make the app useful.

Great app that allows you to plan ahead. Extremely useful to prepare for tournaments on courses you have never played before - much more user friendly and efficient than the good old Google Earth method. I don’t do data entry while playing. Looks like it would be a bit tedious. I have Arccos for shot tracking during rounds and then it is quite easy to review and enter shots on this app. I wish both would have a data interface. This feels like a new app and has a lot of potential. On my wishlist: display and / or factor in elevation changes; ability to save a “strategy” with notes, compatibility with shot tracking systems, target hcp carrying over different devices, web browser app.
