Golfboy is a golf shot measurement app designed for iPhone users. Since it works with just an iPhone, anyone can use it easily with a simple tripod setup. Using advanced image analysis technology, the app provides real-time measurements for distance, ball speed, launch angle, and club speed. It also features a course simulation function, allowing users to practice in realistic scenarios.
Additional features include a putting mode and automatic swing video recording, offering comprehensive support for various golf training needs.
Leveraging our expertise in professional sports analysis, we developed Golfboy to make golf practice easier, more enjoyable, and more efficient for everyone. We’ve conducted numerous accuracy comparison tests against existing laser-based distance measuring devices, refining the app’s precision to meet real-world demands. Use Golfboy to take your game to the next level!
■ Key Features:
+ Real-time feedback on shot data allows for precise adjustments after every swing.

+ Usable both indoors and outdoors, including at golf courses.
+ If you have a second iPhone, pair it to automatically record swing videos with shot data when practicing with friends.
+ In Round Mode, experience simulated practice on original Golfboy courses for more realistic training.
+ Putter Mode lets you specify target distances and quantify your putting shots.

I've been using Golf Boy for a few weeks now, and I'm really impressed with the app. The launch monitor feature is incredibly accurate and gives me detailed insights into my golf shots. It's been really helpful in identifying areas for improvement in my game. The app is also very user-friendly and easy to navigate. I highly recommend Golf Boy to any golfer looking to take their game to the next level.One recommendation is a feature similar to the course feature but just putting to make putting practise more fun!
Surprisingly good free features
avidgolfer05
I only have the free version but the features “round” and “creator” are amazing. The ability to create your own course and then play it is very good. The only negative I have (not sure if you get it with the premium package) is that I can see where my ball goes and direction and whatnot but you can’t see the ball “fade” or “slice” or “draw” or “hook”. If this isn’t implemented I would love to see it introduced. It really would take this game to the top!
Developer Response
Thank you for using Golfboy and for your review. We will continue to add courses from around the world to our rounds feature.We will be releasing several new features this year as well, so please enjoy them when you get a chance.We are currently verifying the number of rotations for fades and slices. Once it becomes reliable, we will consider releasing it. Thank you for your continued support.
Good but lacks killer feature

I downloaded and played this in Oct 25. I had the free trial and also the basic app was free then. It’s really incredible. I bought the 3D driving range which I thought was the ability to play the basic 3D courses. I streamed it through the iPad on to a projector which game me a full golf sim in my lounge. I had a subscription for 2 moths to try it.However, until they manage to integrate hook and slice it is not really that much use.Hooking and slicing are the main issue with most peoples games and without knowing that, you have no idea if you have actually hit a decent shot. I will look at the subscription once the developers have done this, which I do hope they manage to do.It will then get 5 stars from me - I feel a bit mean not giving it 5 now, but without this measurement it doesn’t seem complete.
Great app!

I tried a few launch monitors but this was far and away the easiest to get working. The form analysis is great and I’m looking forward to trying this down the range. 2 months free trial and £8.99 a month after that is great value for this feature rich app. Give it a try. You can always cancel during the trial if you don’t get on with it!
