Doesn't even meet minimum expectation
31/10/2016

For a £5 app, I wasn't expecting it to be some highly tuned software that exactly tracks your ball. In fact, I strangely enjoyed fine tuning the tracer to try and make it track my ball as accurately as possible. However, the bare minimum you expect for £5 is an app that actually gets the basic timing and physics right. It does neither of those things. As of writing, I have attempted to 'trace' and save around 5 videos to my camera roll. In every single one of these, the audio is out of sync, it trims the length of the original video after I told it not to, the video itself is sped up and worst of all, the line doesn't even show up until I'm walking half way back to my phone to stop recording. Absolutely awful. I have tried long videos, short videos, fiddling with all the options when it comes to saving the video, and the result is always exactly the same. The only thing it gets right, is that I can actually choose what colour line I have drawn across my face at the end of each video 10 seconds after my ball has been hit 200 odd yards in the other direction. A useful feature! So in short, this app leaves most of the editing to you, and the bits it 'edits' itself it gets wrong on almost every front.

Hello, first of all this app COULD be great! But it acts like it’s been developed in the 90’s!! I have a iPhone 12 Pro and when I rotate my screen the sliders just are too close to the edges so I can’t use that app that way, and when I try to use it normally, the app either freezes or crashes, the shot tracer doesn’t even trace my shot even though I METICULOUSLY pin point the impact and landing spot, do all what the app says but it only traces after my swing 🥴 I trim a 30 second video down to 15 from my iPhone, but the app uses the whole 30 second video 🤷🏼‍♂️ and then on auto trim, it doesn’t even recognise a swing so the shot tracer goes and I’m just standing there in the video!?? Long story short, PLEASE UPDATE! Update for the modern phones and update the OS, for £5 we should expect as much, especially when this is for a sport that is popular and some (like myself) would use this for work.. com’on! This could be brilliant!!! It has potential!! On the other and, maybe I’m missing something and I’m the thing that’s wrong 😄👍🏼

Please update the app! The new redesigned Shot Tracer 9.0 is faster, more fluid, and packed with awesome upgrades. We’re just getting started!

Extremely disappointing

Extremely disappointing. I paid for the Live Tracer subscription expecting real-time golf shot tracing, but the app takes 12–15 MINUTES to render a single shot after recording. That’s completely unusable on the golf course. Nobody is going to stand around for 15 minutes after every swing waiting for a tracer to process.The whole point of a “live tracer” feature is speed and convenience for content creation. Instead, it destroys the flow of the round and makes the app frustrating to use. For a paid subscription, this feels very misleading. I genuinely regret paying for it and would absolutely not recommend it.

Unfinished, unstable, unimpressed

I took a gamble hoping some of the problems mentioned in older reviews had been ironed out - they haven't.It crashes repeatedly (tested on iPhone 5 and 6)Do not expect it to automatically pick up ball flight - have tried various times of day and locations and nothing.The tracer is too slow for faster ball flight. After you've spent 5 minutes setting start, finish, peak height, shot shape etc and then exported the video to your camera roll the tracer cannot keep up with the ball.The idea is novel, and if I had paid less for it I would have rated it higher. However at this price point I feel like I've lost a sleeve of Pro V's before the first green.Stepping through frames picking out the ball (where you can) needs to be added, as well as a faster tracer for longer clubs.Hopefully the developers have some enthusiastic people working on updates on the core product rather than pointless in-app purchases.Wait for it to drop in price, or for the reviews to improve - right now it's like playing on temporary greens with Top-Flites and rented clubs.
