Purchased the app after reading it was the Golf Digest app for 2018. While it works sometimes, it doesn’t always automatically trace the shot correctly. Some simulations are totally off (eg horizontal ball path instead of vertical). Most of the time it requires significant manual adjustments to get a realistic ball flight. Tracer line also lags quite a bit so you need to set the impact position a couple frames later. The “name popup” effect would have been excellent but it doesn’t allow 4-digit yardage and you can’t control the duration and start/end placements. But it somehow makes it worth it once you are able to produce a decent edit. So currently not great, but it has potential. Hopefully the developers listen to constructive user comments seriously to address all the app’s shortcomings!
Really digging the Shot Tracer app!

Let me start by saying I was a little hesitant to spend money on this app due to some mixed reviews in the App Store. After one range/practice green session I was really impressed with how simple the app is to use. I used a tripod with a phone mount and my iPhone XS Max to record videos, then imported them into the app when I got home. The ball flight is pretty true for the most part, and I love how you can change the color and configuration of the line, add effects, etc. Some people complained it didn’t pick up their ball flight, but I didn’t experience that issue in probably 30 or so tracked shots. Maybe they weren’t using a tripod?? The only reason I give it a 4 star rating and not 5 is because, while it does track all of my ball flights, the flight is not always accurate and sometimes have to manually adjust landing area. Also, the app tends to crash a lot when attempting to save to my camera roll. Maybe because I was using the app for an extended time period?? Either way, if you’re on the fence about purchasing this app, DO IT. As long as you use it correctly, you won’t be disappointed!
Tracing works terrible!!

I purchased this app because I thought it would work great, it works terribly! I know it works great on tour with the excellent technology at the tee boxes and multiple cameras stuff, but I have an iPhone X and when I film the hits, the app cannot even find the START of the ball, less off the flight of it! The ball will go straight, and then the tracer flies out of the screen and comes down like ten seconds later. This would all be a moot point if at least the manual tracer worked good. It’s also AWFUL! Unlike other apps, you can’t just tap the strike point, tap the end point, and easily pick the flight pattern and curvature of the hit as well as flight time to make everything perfectly accurate. I have spent hours trying to get this app to work and I have not traced a SINGLE ball correctly or even remotely to the shape of the hit. I literally wasted my $6. I chose to buy this because I thought it would be the best, but I’m going back to find a free app that works much better.
Not a great experience so far

The automatic shot tracing is accurate about 10% of the time, otherwise you get stuck manually adjusting the shot tracer. About 75% of the time I go through and spend about 5-10 minutes manually adjusting the shot tracer, then I hit the save button and the app crashes and I lose all of my progress. You also are unable to preview your video before you save it so on the off chance the app works, you have to continuously save the videos to see if they look okay, then go back and fix them in the app and re-save it again until it’s to your liking. Overall, it’s very frustrating that I spent $6 on this app just for the app to crash almost every time I use it. The only reason I got this app is because every other video I’ve seen with a shot tracer said they use it, but if I were you I’d try and find something else.
