Shot Pattern - Golf GPS 4+

Finally!

Great app that allows you to plan ahead. Extremely useful to prepare for tournaments on courses you have never played before - much more user friendly and efficient than the good old Google Earth method.
I don’t do data entry while playing. Looks like it would be a bit tedious. I have Arccos for shot tracking during rounds and then it is quite easy to review and enter shots on this app. I wish both would have a data interface.
This feels like a new app and has a lot of potential. On my wishlist: display and / or factor in elevation changes; ability to save a “strategy” with notes, compatibility with shot tracking systems, target hcp carrying over different devices, web browser app.

Better apps out there

Was hoping this app would track my shots as I played so paid for the yearly subscription. Should have done my research because it does not. Yes it will give you dispersion data if you upload from a launch monitor that many of us do not have and yes it will show dispersion of clubs if you MANUALLY enter all shot data from a round to include targets you chose and resulting shot. I'm sorry but I can barely remember what I had for breakfast let alone 80-90 club selections, targets and results in a round. Way to much money for a year and it won't even track where you hit your ball too. It says no on course disruptions but its a huge disruption writing down all the club choices and results just
To have to manually enter it in at the end of a round. It would be great if they at least had a club selector in app and a “I'm at my ball” button to at least gather that data. Other apps even have watch apps that do that. Its a great concept but in reality to much work to make the app useful.

Hi There -

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and let us know how to improve the product. On course shot tracking with the “I’m at my ball” button you describe is scheduled to be released this spring. Sorry the offering wasn’t clear when you first signed up, but the app should be much closer to what you’re looking for quite soon. Feel free to email support with additional questions or feedback. support@shotpattern.app

Almost perfect app!!

Absolutely love this app. I’ve used many apps to track in-depth statistics for strokes gained, avg. proximity, putting, etc… and this app is the best I’ve found so far.
The only reason it isn’t 5-stars yet is because it is lacking just a couple features that some other apps have.
1. When looking at stats for a range of rounds (current options: 5 rounds, 20 rounds, this year, or last year), I would love for there to be an option to select a specific date range of rounds. This would allow the player to see how they’ve improved or where they haven’t over a specific range of dates.
2. After completing a round, would love for there to be an option to see a scorecard on strokes gained format. In other words, a better summary which includes my score, along with strokes gained and other stats, all in one page. This makes for a great social media post!
3. Would be really cool to see a page dedicated to personal bests! For example: least amount of putts in a round, longest drive, most birdies in a row, longest putt made, holes without 3-putt, etc.

That being said… I love this app. If those few features were added it would be a no-brainer for every golfer who liked tracking stats to have this app.
Thanks!

This is awesome feedback! Thank you! We’ll put all of these on our roadmap as things we’ll look to add. Would love to follow up on #2 especially to hear more about how our current scorecard doesn’t quite do the job. Would you please reach out to the support email in the app?

Thanks again!
