OnePutt – Golf Putting AI

I was excited to find this app because my biggest problem with putting since I took up golf just two years ago is reading the greens to decide which way the ball will break. The idea behind this app addresses exactly that issue, but unfortunately, it is not really useable as it exists now. There are at least three problems: 1. The trial period is worthless because even though you agree to the trial, it continues to show you noisy video ads which you cannot stop. Obviously you cannot have that going on when on the golf course. 2. You mark the ball by putting a green filled circle over the location of the ball, and then the location of the pin. But in the bright light of day, the color green is difficult to see against the background of the putting green itself. (It is after all called the “green.”) Much easier would have been a red or orange circle (not filled in, so you could still see the ball), to contrast with the back ground. 3. The really big problem though is that it does not work beyond 16 feet. I find that nearly worthless. It should be able to go to at least 25 feet or more to help you learn a complicated green’s breaks. 4. Finally, sometimes it is just completely wrong. Several times it said the ball would break left or right, but even with the naked eye you could see it was going to break the other way—and it did. I will have to stop the subscription until they come back with an improved version, or someone else comes up with something better.
