This is an amazing App for serious golfers who want to improve their game and lower their handicap. I am a retired scientist and mod-handicap golfer who likes to see data. Been a long time Arccos fine but wanted to go on a Tangent. The App tracks your shots without the need for sensors on your clubs and works well with an iPhone, Apple Watch and even better if paired together. Once it understands your game, the AI caddie will make club recommendations. It provides you Strokes Gain information on the four major categories: Driving, Approach, Short Game and Putting. But in addition to that, it provides much more granular analyses for example, in the Short Game category, it gives you strokes gained from the fairway, rough and sand. There’s a great after round performance review where it provides feedback in a custom Tangent Four spider graph identifying strokes lost due to 3-putts, two chips, recovery shots and penalties. It’s very motivating to read “you shot x score but you had the potential to shoot y score if you correct these mistakes”. I highly recommend this App for its features. Check it out if you are serious about your game.
This is the App!

After using this app my game has really improved! I have used many golf apps but there are none that have actually let me know what and where I need to improve. This app analyzes every aspect of my game, (tee shots, long irons, short irons, approach shots, putting and much more), displaying each shot I make on a graphic that is easily understood and easy to read! It also lets me set the handicap I would like to achieve and lets me know how I did in each aspect of my game in reaching that goal ( where I improved and where I still need work toward reaching my goal), allowing me to improve in baby steps without getting discouraged. The caddie mode is excellent in giving real time wind speed and direction and suggesting what club or iron to use based on my input of the distances I hit each club or iron! If you are using any other app and serious about improving your game for the better, I suggest switching to this one, there is no other app that has come close in helping me as much as this one has! It has really worked for me and I am sure it will work for anyone else as well!
The best yet.

Over the last few years I have used multiple golf apps to analyze my game and help me to improve. This is far and away the best I’ve found. I hesitated a bit at the price but after the free trial I knew it was going to be worth it. I subscribed after only one round and expect to be a user of Tangent for a long time to come. I did communicate with the developer about an addition to the app that I would like to see; a greens reading map. He explained that the reason for not having it was the prohibitive cost of acquiring that technology. I totally understand but I hope that the Tangent app is so successful that it can be added later. I for one would be happy to pay a bit more if that feature were added. This app not only tells me what I need to work on but also provides the drills I need to use to improve those areas of my game. I also really like that I can open a round later and edit the data for accuracy. Thanks to the developer and best of luck reaching the golfing world with this extremely useful app.
Best Tracking App!

This is not a perfect app, but it is definitely the best golf app available of those that track without need for sensors! I have tried them all and with a few uses the Tangent app becomes very useable on course and does not disrupt my flow of play. One of the main reasons that this app is preferred over all the others is that it not only gives you useable, detailed statistics regarding your golf game, but does so in an understandable manner AND provides understandable and USEABLE advice about where and how to focus ones practice so as to lower your on course scores! The drills are well organized and explained. There is no additional fee for these practice drills beyond your regular subscription. This review isn’t the place to go into a detailed discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of the Tangent app - there are both, but I suggest you try it for yourself. Importantly, watch the tutorials and play with the app some both off and on the course before deciding as there is a learning curve. And oh, I should mention, my goal was to find the best app that integrated with and worked beat with my Apple Watch and Tangent is it!
