SwingU: Golf GPS Range Finder for Positive User Reviews
✓ FantasticFor a free app this is fantastic. Might pay the money for the upgrade one day.Version: 7.0.2
✓ ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS GOLF APPI have been using this app for about two months and cannot fault it in any way. I have used a few others in the past and some big names too but this is the best ever. I used to struggle to remember my distances on my clubs but the tracking feature in this app is so easy to use and store your distances. Now I don't bother about all the fuss and just track all my good shots at the touch of a button. Great app and I'll recommend to everyone wanting to I improve their golf game. Well done to the designers..Version: 5.0.27
✓ Update from last review.I tried the free trial once yrs ago, at the time it was near impossible to stop them charging my credit card! Note: After contacting support they ensured me I would not be charge again. I’m quick to anger when having to spend what little energy I have left to chase down support for something that should have been handled competently in the first place. I’m sure it’s a good app, but illness took away golf years ago..Version: 8.0.2
✓ Support team responds fast and is helpful!This app has been exactly what I was looking for. A simple gps I can use on my Apple Watch while out on the course. The yardage has been accurate when checked against my rangefinder within +/- 3 yards every time I checked. Being able to select what club I just hit and track my shot is great for learning how far I actually hit each club out on the course. I haven’t paid much attention to the suggested club yet but once I get more shots saved on each club I’m sure that function will be handy. After one of the updates the app dropped off of my Apple Watch so I contacted the support team. Messaged back and forth several times and they reached out to the development team. Within a week of reaching out to them they had another update sent to the App Store and I now have the app back on my watch! My experience with their support team (Christi) was top notch..Version: 7.0.25
✓ A must have appIn the last year this app has helped me improve my game massively. The distances are pretty accurate, and I could use the stats it gives you to pick out weaknesses in my game. Along with lesson, it helped take 17 shots off my handicap in 7 months.Version: 5.0.39
✓ Not happyDidn’t realise had to put scores in before hole info is uploaded.Version: 7.0.4
✓ Rebounds not showing in PerformanceWas great up until 43 rounds of data but now it’s only showing 10 rounds, cannot find anything in the help section so hopefully someone can answer here?? Played today and cannot even see my scores! (Yes I did save it).Version: 7.6.3
✓ Awesome AppGreat app for playing golf!.Version: 7.5.0
✓ Best pandemic FeatureThe app never worked well with my 1st generation Apple Watch. That Apple Watch was way to slow to respond to the data. Well, that watch fell apart on my arm playing golf. The face and the back fell off. I got my money’s worth out of it. That day, I picked up a new Apple Watch before going home. I had not tried the app on the new watch until yesterday. I was pleased with how it worked. However, I use it to just track my shots. I have a laser range finder and use to often. The Apple Watch feature is perfect for keeping up with my health date on the course. Steps showed how much I walked even when using the golf cart. During the wet winter conditions, I love being able to track my steps and other data. I like the share feature too. New 6th Apple Watch makes this app a must use! Even with a high dollar range finder. Sticking my iPhone in my back pocket is easier hauling that significantly heavier range finder. If Verizon didn’t charge a premium for data on an Apple Watch I’d sell my range finder..Version: 7.3.0
✓ No longer acknowledging handicapsI’ve been using Swing by Swing for years and had always found it reliable and easy to use. However, recently it has ceased to acknowledge handicaps for net scores and Stapleford scoring. I did email App support a week ago but without response. I am disappointed as I have paid a yearly subscription for this App but is is no longer delivering the goods..Version: 7.2.1
✓ Great app small issuesI downloaded the app because I wanted distances to the green from anywhere and this has yet to disappoint. Actually was better than I expected as it gave front, middle, and back pin distances. It was within 2-4 yards of a range finder so that was a huge plus. The only downside is it would freeze occasionally on the phone which made the watch not show distances. I really wanted it to use my watch and not keep my phone in my pocket. So every now and then through a round I would have to close the app on my phone and reopen it for it to work on my watch. Still less of a hassle than guessing distances or buying a range finder..Version: 7.2.1
✓ Never mindFound the free version really great, then the upgrade. Still as good for playing a round, all good there but I liked when I could look back and see how many putts I took on each hole. Can’t do that now but it’s still worth using..Version: 8.3.1
✓ Great AppGive me a life long membership and I’ll refer all my friends that I golf with including league as long as I’m alive..Version: 8.0.2
✓ 1st time userFound this app great as a first time user I need to learn a little more but recommended..Version: 7.0.8
✓ Some considerations that would be really nice?You know that golf is played outside the 50 United States, don’t you? Well how’s about some of your avalanche of ads, promotions, sales and sweetener offers be available to the rest of the world? On the app functioning. Displaying the registered hole distance would be really helpful. Yes, the important thing is distance to hole, but if you want to let a playing partner know how far he hit it you cannot because you aren’t tracking their shots, and if you forget (or can’t be inspired enough to take the time or, more to the point, the distraction) to track every one of your own during a competition round, when you get to your ball and look at the app, we’ll, you’re stuffed. It’s not bad otherwise. Worth persevering with..Version: 5.0.44
✓ Swing by swingThis is a great apt, done wonders for my game. All our local courses are mapped. Really helps with your club selection , hitting more greens in reg.Version: 3.1.1
✓ All but a few elementsGreat App. Remarkably accurate course overviews The scorecard would be better if it had GIR! It’d be better again if it could sync with Golf Australia website / handicap tracker!.Version: 7.2.7
✓ First timeI tried to use this app before with no luck not sure why but thought I would give it another chance. I’m glad I did it’s marvellous . Knowing where to lay up has always been a problem for club golfers . Being told how far the hole is playing in the conditions on that day is great worked every time would have used two clubs less on one hole . I just have to change my handicap from 54 as I hadn’t put my handicap in before I started my round . 85 points is a bit much.Version: 7.2.0
✓ Great app, butThis is a great app which seems very accurate with the yardages. I use it with my Apple Watch and I am considering upgrading to pro. However, the one big niggle I have is that the hole doesn’t advance every time. Sometimes it does but then it doesn’t. I’m afraid that’s the one thing stopping me upgrading..Version: 8.0.2
✓ HiNot staying connected to my Apple Watch.Version: 7.3.3
✓ I love my SwingUI have been a Looper for about a year and love my SwingU app. It is even better now that most carts have a USB charger so I don’t have to carry a charger. While others are fumbling with their lasers I have shot the middle of the green, distance to the water and the bunker on the right. I love it. The electronic scoring is a bonus. My only complaint is now that I actually measure my drives with the app I can’t hit my driver as far as I used to. Then came the shocker. I have never won anything in my life. Six weeks ago I got an email from SwingU saying I had won a Scotty Cameron puttering their weekly drawing. I said great all I have to do is pay $499 for shipping and handling right? No, they said, that is free. I chose the one I wanted and one week later it arrived. Amazing. Still can’t believe it. So when they say this week we are giving away a Ping driver they are not kidding. Love you SwingU Thanks Reg Friesen from Ohio.Version: 6.0.9
✓ Phone is good watch clunkyHave used many times on iPhone which works well but used a lot of battery. When using Apple watch found that it would sometimes drop out and not accept input of strokes played. Also metres was wrong several times which made me think it was using the phone for distance which was sitting in the buggy rather than using the watch location ??.Version: 5.0.44
✓ Excellent!Great for all golfers. Very handy when shots are a bit wayward & provides accurate distance to green. Helps with club selection. Good for stats on shots/puts.Version: 4.4.9
✓ Latest Update BuggyBrilliant App, however the latest update has been playing up, with the app taking forever to load with a black screen. Even entering scores have been ridden with bugs, and saving rounds have been laggy / non-responsive. Please fix!!.Version: 7.0.20
✓ Excellent free app and even more excellent customer service!I think this is the first app I’ve ever reviewed in probably 12 years of owning an IPhone. This app is so good it’s hard to believe it’s free. On top of that and what prompted me to right a review, the little 9 hole course I play has two holes on the back 9 that change par due to tee box position, so if you wanted to use this app to keep score, duplicating the front nine will make it appear you bogeyed a hole on the back 9 even though you hit a par on it. (I realize the score is going to be the same but it was bugging me) I emailed SwingU support about this to ask if there was a way to change the par number on the back 9. They responded very quickly and told if I’d send a picture of one of our scorecards, they would update their database. I sent them a picture of a scorecard this morning while out on the course, just looked at it a few minutes ago, and they have already updated my course in the app where I have an accurate front and back 9. Same day, fantastic customer service. Highly recommend SwingU!!!!.Version: 7.6.5
✓ Nice appReally nice app and find the distances really accurate. Would love some updated functionality for scoring, particularly for when playing stableford - eg would love a wipe/pick up button..Version: 7.0.28
✓ Cancel SubscriptionI tried cancelling the subscription and the app won’t allow this and keeps charging the card. Beware!!.Version: 7.0.23
✓ Simple, clean interface and great feature-set for price point.SwingU is my preferred golfing app to use on the course in conjunction with my Apple Watch after trying just about every other app available. I find the watch app to be far and away the most useful and practical compared to alternatives. That said, I am disappointed to remove a star because I do not feel that the club tracking feature (which I pay for) is not accurately calculating average club distances. It is tracking data wonderfully, but my reported averages simply do not change regardless of data collected. This is frustrating because it is the feature I like most about the app — is this something that will be fixed in a future update?.Version: 7.0.9
✓ I need my golf course on itDecent but doesn’t have my local golf course on it which is disappointing.Version: 7.6.6
✓ Apple Watch disconnectsI’ve been using the free app for about three months and enjoy it enough to consider buying premium. However whilst the watch app is a perfect enhancement when it stays connected to the phone app, it has disconnected on about 50% of the rounds when I have used it. Once this happens nothing will make it remain connected to the watch app. Even restarting the phone app won’t maintain a watch connection. For me this is far and away the greatest frustration..Version: 7.6.6
✓ Great supportMy club has two courses and, following a database update they got mixed up. I contacted Swingu support expecting to hear nothing and disappear into the ether. Far from it. Support was front rank and attended to it straightaway and kept me up to date via email. The app is first class. So is support. Highly recommended..Version: 7.0.33
✓ Amazing app supportOver the past year using the app i have pointed out a couple of issues and the response is fantastic and the soeed of the fix is amazing! Great app and is a pleasure to use and talking to the team they are all nice and solve the issues in quick time! Keep up the good work Uswing team!.Version: 7.0.29
✓ Best appGreat app simple and accurate!!!.Version: 7.5.4
✓ Changed My GameI’ve been playing golf my whole life and have always taken the club away inside. It usually leads to a draw, but without regular practice, timing gets off and it results in a two-way miss. I’ve tried numerous times to get it more on-plane, but its hard to re-route a golf swing after 30 years. That all changed with the commentary and 2 minute video the pro shared with me in the 1-on-1 feature. He sent the perfect drill for me to work on to think about it another way and I’ve gained significant consistency since I’ve been using this drill. It’s rare to have one drill make such a huge difference after playing golf my whole life, but thanks to SwingU for making that happen!.Version: 7.0.4
✓ Stableford score calcs not always correctI use the app to track my history and it's generally great. However on my local course the stableford score is overstated on a few holes, even though the the correct stroke index is shown. Is this a widespread issue on other courses?.Version: 5.034
✓ Great and easy to use FREE versionHave been using this app all summer. Works great and has detailed course layouts. Have found that the distances are pretty accurate for hazards and lies. Was able to find all of my local Northern Nevada courses. Calculated my handicap after three full rounds and has adjusted it as I’ve entered info. The ONLY issue I have, is that there are a few courses in Tahoe that have a smaller par (66, 68). Playing those didn’t recognize the par score there being smaller instead of the standard 72. So shooting a 78 on a par 66 calculated it in relation to a 72 and drastically lowered my handicap. I had to exclude it from my calculation, which surprisingly was possible through the app. Just wish it would recognize those scores for what they were rather than in relation to 72. But otherwise an amazing app that I use every time I go out. The paid version would allow for better distance calculations, such as “plays like” and “club recommendations”. But for me the free version has been fantastic. Having the accurate course layouts has taken some real strokes off my game. I’m so close to breaking 80..Version: 7.6.7
✓ GPSWow!!! Awesome, fantastic, easy , detailed....loads of information if you want it, rounds sent back to e mail, and heaps of graphs, shot tracker, weekly golf tips via professional golfer via video etc etc, don't leave home without it and am spreading the word feverishly!! Questions answered with speed, very helpful staff and great forums..Version: 3.1.1
✓ Good but not greatMost of it works as described but I would prefer to have an option that isn't a Google earth pic (drawing preferred) as the photo isn't bright enough on a sunny day.Version: 4.4.7
✓ Change in compatibilityI love the SwingU app and have used it for several years. Up until about two weeks ago, it was compatible with my iwatch which was great. I have searched why the app will not show up as available and sync from my phone to the watch and did everything to bring it back. I have now discovered that there must have been a change in compatibility with the app now requiring a watch OS of 7.0 or higher. Unfortunately, my watch OS is 6.3. I am extremely disappointed with that. Update: Thank you for the response to my review. Unfortunately, my Apple Watch is as up to date with the OS as it can be, therefore I may have to purchase a new apple watch in order for it to be compatible with the app. Technology is always changing!!.Version: 7.6.4
✓ Good appLove it, does a great job of making tracking your score easy.Version: 4.4.9
✓ Very usefulVery useful app, some of the menu navigation could be improved. An offline mode for remote golf courses with flaky 3G would be good too. Still a 4 star app tho..Version: 4.2.0
✓ Golf’s #1 appAmazing app for any course !!!! Extremely accurate and gives you very important detail..Version: 8.0.3
✓ App to save the worldThis app really helped today on a course I had never played, great detail, easy to use and I shot my best score yet!!!.Version: 5.0.31
✓ Watch errorThere is a serious with the phone app to the watch app. I enter the irrelevant details on my watch, it updates the phone ok but the watch stay on the previous hole, when I go to enter the detail again it asks for the shots taken for the next hole. Now although this has up dated when you look at the watch it’s still on the previous hole. The app on the watch has received the update ok from the watch and that’s ok. Thinking of changing apps as this is frustrating and yes my apps are up to-date, yes I have tried rebooting and deleting and downloading the app again. Not happy.Version: 7.3.0
✓ My favoriteI love this App. It is the only one I use after trying several. The GPS is extremely accurate and the view of course is not bad either. I don’t even use my Garmin GPS now. I have this app with me everywhere I go because I carry my phone everywhere I go. I love that it keeps your score and putts. It only keeps your putt count though not those you add to the scorekeeper. It also allows you to save all of your scores and the courses you play to compare improving or slipping back. The GPS to find the courses nearby is extremely accurate and easy to use. You can even take pics and add them to your app. This app is the best one out there! Also it is not irritating where you have to sign in every time you want to use it. Can not stress enough the great quality of this app!.Version: 5.0.42
✓ George DavisHave had the app for a couple of years now and found it really useful. Since I added Looper this year I have found distances pretty accurate to front, centre and back of green though to be honest centre would probably be sufficient for me. It has definitely improved my game and it is great to have a record of my scores. It compares favourably with the GPS watch which my playing partner uses and best of all it is FREE. Congratulations to the SwingbySwing team.Version: 5.0.39
✓ Best one with Apple Watch.I’ve found this to be the best app to use with Apple Watch by far! Really simple yardage display, easy to score and track shots. Perfect for not having to look at your phone during your round..Version: 8.4.0
✓ Swing by swingThis is a must have for any golfer! Clear and simple to use, and so much information at your finger tips. Travis, Kevin and all the gang, keep up the great work. Kia kaha.Version: 3.0.240
✓ Great help with club selectionAs a high handicap player, this app has helped greatly with club selection and making better decisions on the course..Version: 7.0.4
✓ Easy to useGreat App, so easy to use. Has let me down once or twice by refusing to get going on the course, but have accepted that as ok for something using so much technology. Works reasonably well with Apple Watch but sometimes the comms with phone don’t get through and also sometimes the score update on the watch won’t work..Version: 5.0.42
✓ AwesomeI love this app helps heaps with tracking and things to work on. A must..Version: 3.1.1
✓ Nice app but battery hogNeeded a simple app to keep my score and provide distances. Interface is simple, distance measurements get you into the ballpark and I like the historical data for your rounds. I don’t like the battery drain. A round of golf easily pulls 75% of life out of the battery. Some days it’s more. I wonder if a data display option (lose the overhead satellite view) that shows your distance and score would reduce the energy pull. Hopefully it won’t get so bad I need to find a charging source on the course. To the developer, the screen does time out and is off in between shots. Watch app is buggy or I would just use that. Maybe offer a minimalist phone view showing range and score to save the energy the graphics can consume? Still a nice app, just a huge power hog..Version: 8.3.2
✓ Great App!Love using this app to track all my stats when playing. The GPS part is amazing because you can checkout new course before even deciding where you want to play. One thing I would change would be to have a Friends section you can invite people to do you could all be on the same scorecard and tracking what your friends are shooting. You can have friends on the scorecard now but it’s very basically and it just sends it to them via email. I wish it would also save it in your stats so not both parties have to track the scores. I think an overhaul of the social aspect of the app would make this app even better..Version: 7.5.4
✓ Works as advertisedI have been using this app for over a year. The distance indicated is almost exactly the same as the guys with dedicated hand held units. Several of the guys I golf with are now using the app and are all satisfied with it. The battery seldom uses more than 40%. I turn off the screen when in between shots. Everything works as advertised. I am saving all my golf winnings to save up to buy the upgrade. I bought the upgrade but don’t use all the features. Still happy with it. Sometimes the gross score and the net are off by a stroke. Gross 91 with a handicap of 17 returns a net of 73 instead of 74..Version: 7.7.0
✓ Short gameIt would be good if you had pitches and chips so you could analyse your short game Easy to use and very good accuracy with the distances it shows.Version: 6.0.8
✓ Top Golf AppThe ultimate golfing companion. With the pebble watch scoring, range, and club tracking is so easy..Version: 4.2.0
✓ Fantastic stuffBig fan of this, highly recommend it.Version: 7.0.4
✓ Apps great… but recent issues with Apple WatchI had this app for over a year now and for the most part it’s been great. Recently however, I can not get it to launch on my Apple Watch. This started around the time of the update. It crashes every time. I’ve checked to make sure my devices are up to date, as well as deleting the app and reinstalling. Sorta at a loss at this point. One thing that would be nice to add would be to have the ability to link with your GHIN account. Not having to enter 1 round into both apps would be a nice feature..Version: 7.8.0
✓ Golf Is great while using this amazing app.Great app!!!.Version: 7.3.7
✓ Quite goodMaybe the full version will be 5 star.Version: 7.0.4
✓ GreatEasy to use, great to have available at tips of fingers. NZ courses available which is really handy..Version: 2.1.205
✓ Geoff RobinsonFirst time I have tried it, it looks & works excellent will review again when I'm up to speed with all of it..Version: 3.1.1
✓ Great app very handyRecommended.Version: 3.0.256
✓ First go using Swing UFound it really easy to use and the distance measurements were almost bang on....Version: 7.0.4
✓ New userGreat app, very reliable, really enjoy using it, my only issue is that the course I’m a member on, has recently changed from 18 to a 10 hole course (you still play 18) but the app doesn’t recognise the changes so holes that you no longer play are still in the 18, therefore you cannot upload a proper 18 hole round. My course is the lyndoch in Perth, Scotland..Version: 7.0.29
✓ ExcellentGreat app and fantastic customer support. Having accurate distance readings means my club selection and performance is more consistent. The stats tracking is an excellent feature. Support was fantastic once I noticed a scorecard error for one of my local courses. Thank you..Version: 7.6.3
✓ Good, but needs improvementExcellent for gps and some stats but the stats are mainly whole numbers which is frustrating to get a true indication of your improvement. Also some of the stats from previous version have disappeared??? Score breakdown etc.Version: 4.0.7
✓ Great app. Recommended.Regular updates and lots of NZ courses! Also the ability to add extra courses manually. Love it. Had to upgrade to the Looper version..Version: 4.0.8
✓ MUST TRY THIS APPI don’t even know where to start this app is amazing it’s exactly like a golf range finder recommend this app 100% and you don’t even have to pay a dime to use this app.Version: 7.6.2
✓ Awesome appVery useful and responsive app.Version: 4.4.11
✓ Awesome featuresBetter than golf Canada.Version: 7.6.0
✓ Great AppThis app does everything is says it does in an excellent manner cannot fault it. I use it with my Apple Watch. Absolutely fantastic.Version: 5.034
✓ Great programThis is as good or better than units that cost over $200. I have compared this with expensive golf GPS units & found that the difference in distance is on average, no more than 1mt. And best of all... it doesn't cost a fortune..Version: 5.034
✓ Excellent app.I found this to be very good and accurate Great when you find yourself on the wrong fairway. Easy to read and plan the green approach club..Version: 0
✓ Much betterI’m changing my review of this app. After switching internet providers (now with bell) and bug fixes, everything works perfect now. Accurate distances, fast, and works perfect with my Apple Watch..Version: 8.0.1
✓ Other appsI do use another app, that helps in distance how far is water, sand etc away to reach. This helps on playing new golf courses. This would be a nice add on for free, same as the other app. The other is hard to add scores etc..Version: 8.0.1
✓ BrilliantFantastic App, now I can see in graph form how bad my golf is. Better still my wife can follow my round with "live scoring" feature, she can send me texts and tell me how well I played the last hole. Seriously, great app!.Version: 3.1.1
✓ Love it!Easy! Gives you the basics. User friendly!.Version: 7.0.11
✓ Love the app just want to use my handicapBeen using app for awhile. Used on numerous courses and found it very useful to get centre green distances quickly and accurately. Only major failing is that it calculates my handicap and I don’t want it to use that. I have one provided by my club. Now the option to type my official handicap in has gone. Shame real shame!.Version: 5.0.35
✓ Great appReally good app, would have loved shot tracking but great otherwise..Version: 7.3.3
✓ Getting back into golfGreat app helpful as I have been away from Golf for a long time.Version: 4.4.11
✓ Excellent Golf AppI have been using SwingU for a few years and i find it to be a vital part of my game. I can rely on its ability to give me accurate yardage and the zoom in feature for approach shots is incredible. I use that also when I play a new course that I don’t know. I can review my stats later on and it keeps my handicap without my need to figure it out. Yesterday my phone was low on battery so I had to pace off the yardage like in days of old. When I got home I was able put in my score hole by hole using the app as if I was at the course. That was enjoyable too but I do like having SwingU at my disposal. It helps make golf more enjoyable for me. Jeffrey in OKC.Version: 7.2.1
✓ Worth the price of admissionSwingU has been a valuable asset not only in my own competitive golf but also for my students. The user friendly platform gives you valuable stats for areas of improvement and follows up with a full library of instructional videos. For high end players the green maps and GPS course layout function is worth the price of admission..Version: 7.8.1
✓ Outstanding appEasy to use app and really handy out on the course. Recommended.Version: 3.1.1
✓ Best Golf App I’ve usedWell worth the small fee. The videos are brilliant. One on one coaching is well worth it. Brilliant app. Highly recommended.Version: 7.0.29
✓ GreatEasier than writing it down!.Version: 7.2.9
✓ Not Good for Apple WatchI give up, they advertised “try Plus service and if not satisfied, cancel and get refund of unused months”. All lies, freezes on watch during use on course, so it’s useless. Tried to get refund, contacted Apple since purchase was made using my Apple account, they said no because it’s 3rd party responsibility, contact developer. I contacted developer, they said it was purchased thru Apple and Apple won’t let them issue refunds. Complete runaround from both Apple and 3rd party developer. If you have an Apple Watch, don’t get this App, it’s Garbage!!!!.Version: 7.6.2
✓ Probably the biggest influence on my gameThrough this product I was able to confirm that my judgement of distance had altered dramatically with ageing. I was 10-15 metres out on critical occasions. This product has saved my game..Version: 8.0.3
✓ JustinFirst time using a GPS golf app. Loved it!.Version: 3.1.1
✓ Great Golf AppWas excellent for scores and for the GPS and the course map. Can recommend!.Version: 4.0.14
✓ First TimeDid all the basics I required. Will dig deeper as I go along..Version: 7.3.2
✓ GPSSince recent updates the accuracy of the gps has fallen dramatically and is often many 10s of metres wrong compared to other apps and checking against course markers. Not sure why it has always been so good but falling out of love with it and trying out others now!!!!!.Version: 6.0.7
✓ Amazing app, -10 shotsReal satellite imagery plus interactive map is the ultimate combo for trusting yardage and shot picking. You know your yardage to a tree is correct when you can see where the app thinks you are, and you see the satellite image of the tree with a line between the two. Easy peasy. Been using this since it was called Swing-by-Swing. While there are a few small glitches that persist, such as score prompting mid-hole and not after hole sometimes, it’s still an amazing tool far better than catroony maps or non-interactive displays. I’d give it 5-stars otherwise. Took 10 strokes off my game, and is freemium...can’t ask for more!.Version: 6.0.8
✓ Great AppWhat more can I say but it’s the best all round golf app I have ever had the pleasure..Version: 7.5.3
✓ Acton golf courseNice course . Value for money !!!.Version: 8.2.0
✓ Very good for a free App been using for 12 monthsEasy to use very happy.Version: 7.2.1
✓ Easy to use and Apple Watch compatibleI almost never pay for apps, particularly through yearly subscriptions. But this golf app finds courses for you without any need for downloading, works easily with the Apple Watch, and scoring for you and your foursome is a breeze. The GPS works great too. My only complaint right now is accessing your scores and making score corrections. When I finished 9 of 18 holes, the prompt (if I recall) asked me if I wanted to save my score, which I did. It then assumed I was done and stopped scoring. I then had to get back into the app and get to the 10th hole. All of which is minor, except it would not let me find my playing partner’s front 9 score, let alone correct an entry. Plus finding your scoring history and other golfers scoring history is very difficult. Having said all that, I do like the rest of the functionality and am very happy with this app..Version: 7.0.29
✓ StablefordThere should be an option for a wipe (unfortunately) when playing Stableford.Version: 5.0.44
✓ TopsVery good. You won't be disappointed, ready to upgrade to PRO!.Version: 5.0.39
✓ Waiting for gps standalone on Apple watchI have been using the premium version of this app for almost a year now. It has definitely helped me improve my score and I enjoy it. It's easy to use and has the information I want and nothing more. However, now I feel it's holding me back. When it comes to being on the green, I don't bring my phone for accurate GPS reading. I mount my phone to the cart for the distance and playing music. I don't want to be removing it every single hole. I can't accurately track my approach shots because I have to stay a certain distance away from the green. I see your competitor does have it. Waiting patiently but not forever..Version: 7.6.7
✓ GIR NotesPossibly add a note section per hole to look back on next time. Could also add in if you missed the green short or long..Version: 7.8.3
✓ Effective AppUpswing app gives accurate distance, amazing satellite view of each fairway, and easy to using scoring. If you don’t yet have it, get it!.Version: 7.6.3
✓ AwesomeDefinately a must-have for any golfer! One of my favorite and most used apps.Version: 2.1.205
✓ Best golf app there is even better than the most expensive onesHas nearly every course I play if it doesn't it takes about 10 minutes to map one.Version: 2.1.196
✓ Missing one featureI have used this app for a full year and have recommended it to all my buddies. It is a great app! I would rate this app with 5 stars except I think it needs one feature added. I would like to be able to manually enter club distances. I sometimes forget to tag a club or I fail to finish the distance until I move to the next shot. I often know the distance, but just don't get it entered. Being able to manually enter my distances would ensure that I get more accurate club data. Please add this feature. Additionally, the Apple Watch version needs some work. For instance, the app automatically goes to the scoring screen when near the green. However, if you leave that screen, to finish tracking a shot for example, there's no way to go back to the scoring screen. Also, there is no way to delete a tracked shot if you shank one and decide not to track it. If you have already entered the club, you have to delete it from your phone. In fact, I still have to keep my phone within easy reach, because the phone app version is so much more user friendly. I could not accurately score a round with just the watch. I would also like to see the Apple Watch version use its own GPS and not the phone’s. I think this would improve the speed of the app since it’s slower than other apps I have tried. One more thing. It would be nice if the Apple Watch version would automatically track a golf workout in the Workout app Please upgrade. Thanks..Version: 5.0.39
✓ Best App EverHave had this app almost since it was available and not only is it the best on the market, the customer service is absolutely first class. Had a small issue (my fault) recently. These guys were just brilliant did everything I needed and more. Keep up the great work. Special shout for Ron Birch!.Version: 6.0.7
✓ Superb, with one tiny, tiny complaint...I love this app. I “mind golf” courses I want to play using the ‘explore course’ option, as well as using it to figure out how to play my local courses better. My only complaint is it’s lacking a couple courses near me, but they’re pretty small and out the way so it’s no surprise. (If you’re reading this Swing U, it’s Gairloch and Durness. Feel free to add them!) Other than that, top marks!.Version: 7.0.25
✓ Extremely helpful on the course!Have used it a couple of times, great to have rangefinder capability, and shot measurements!.Version: 4.4.7
✓ Stableford scoring removedI have been using SwingU for a couple of years now and generally really love it. So frustrating thought that Stableford (and other alternative scoring methods) were removed a few months ago and still haven’t returned. This is a fundamental part to scoring a round, especially if you have playing partners which most people will! Having to look for alternative apps now as I keep being told it is due to return shortly but this never happens. Gutted as I have so much data in this app now.Version: 7.3.10
✓ Great appEasy to use. Love it.Version: 4.4.11
✓ Great customer service!!Fell in love with the app right of the bat!!. Or club I should say.. Easy to use.Keeps track of all your stats and round info.. Best golf app on the market. Was having issues with the app after an update. Had lost all my rounds data and history. A customer service agent returned my email immediately and helped me retrieve all my data.. GPS pretty accurate when I compare with my range finder. I’ve been using this app for close to 10 yrs. Have yet to play a course that is not on their data base. Highly recommended it.. If I wanted to be a stickler …Would be great if there was a search icon for scrolling through previous played round history quicker..Version: 7.6.6
✓ Difficulté pour starterJe trouve qu’on a de la difficulté à commencer une partie Merci pour l’information ça m’a beaucoup aidé..Version: 8.2.0
✓ Great appBattle when a course is not in the system, otherwise enjoying this app..Version: 3.1.1
✓ Please add my course!Your description clearly states that you feature EVERY golf course in the US and possibly the world but unfortunately you do not offer my golf course, Pine Hill Country Club of Ripley, Mississippi. Due to the setup of the app, I cannot use it unless I first pick a course and the course I typically play at is the one stated above. I love the app and it’s features but I cannot use them until this issue is resolved. Please add my course to your list. It is a small 9-hole course and will not take up your time. Thank you for your time and careful consideration..Version: 7.5.3
✓ Fantastic appUsed this for a few years now, and just got an Apple Watch to use the feature on my wrist. Suggested some fixes to the developers of the app and these were made and very well communicated to me. Awesome lessons using the instructors features. This is my go to app and has made huge changes to my game. Keep up the amazing work..Version: 7.0.26
✓ Great appGreat app easy to use.Version: 4.4.11
✓ Really goodUsed for the first time yesterday, worked well never lost signal. Only tip use it on a practice round as takes a few holes to figure out how to use on the watch. A how to use video at the start of set up would make it even better. Very impressed with how accurate it was..Version: 5.0.44
✓ Golf appExcellent app great to use.Version: 4.3.1
✓ Love the appFollows me, wherever I go , I’m hooked beats looking through a telescope.Version: 7.6.2
✓ Very goodGood app I like how they listen and correct mistakes.Version: 7.6.3
✓ Good and badI love what this app can do. But it’s incredibly frustrating. I pair it with my iPhone 12 and Apple Watch. It initially starts off working well. But then starts getting lost. Not knowing where you are. Despite setting my phone up as advised the watch keeps losing connection and I have to keep restarting the app on the watch and/or tapping the app on the phone to wake it up. So frustrating. Shame because this could be such a great app..Version: 7.3.7
✓ Now it worksSystem won’t let me update my previous review. Now working; god knows why, I haven’t changed anything... Would give it 5 stars but support communications not acceptable; emails not responded to..Version: 7.0.33
✓ Great appSuper refinements and functionality. Has also become very much quicker and more stable, great work folks..Version: 6.0.8
✓ Great AppUsed three times and is excellent for single figure handicapper. Best is, it runs off the phone so you don't have to buy another toy. Great app!!!!.Version: 3.1.1
✓ Best appRecommend the app to anybody.Version: 7.8.1
✓ Latest Update has frozen appYour latest update has totally frozen on he app, it's now useless!!.Version: 5.0.35
✓ DanHi. I have just down loaded the app. It says I can input previous scorecards. I have looked around but couldn’t see how. Can I get some advice on how to do this! Thanks.Version: 6.0.3
✓ Very good App minor tweaking would make it greatApp works great on iPhone. Quickly locates course via GPS and maps very good. When finished iPhone automatically switches to scorecard for entry. IWatch could use some tweaking, display numbers very small could use a larger font. App does not default in dock so when you raise watch to get yardage it’s necessary to select App again from dock. Would also like to see an iWatch native mode so once course played would be stored and played again without iPhone using watch GPS. I find myself launching a competing App on iWatch and this App on iPhone. With these fixes would easily rate a five star.Version: 5.0.42
✓ EasyEasy to use, no delays in entry, better than grint, entry points are well identified.Version: 7.0.5
✓ Golfing AppsMarked as 4 due to changes being more difficult to score these days, also distance to pin is no longer automatic and reliable at times?? Constant adverts are an irritation as well?.Version: 7.0.25
✓ Generally great app but hoovers up dataReally like this app which seems to provide accurate yardages on course. Provides a great way of storing rounds and working out your handicap. After paying a subscription there are some nice additional features although the “plays like” yardage is often wrong. It does seem to collect a lot of data, on the website too, and it’s too easy to leave location tracking always on. The Clubhouse Newsletter is ok but always has some rather old-school glamour shots of female golfers which seems a bit poor when we are encouraging more women to play..Version: 7.3.10
✓ Why notThere’s 0 reason to not get this app. It’s great even if free.Version: 8.0.2
✓ Amazing!Made me excited about golf again'.Version: 3.0.240
✓ Games ImprovingThis app is awesome! Such an easy way to see the course from an overhead view. Especially easy to use and a great tool for when I’m looking at a new course Iv never played before. I know exactly how far my tee shot needs to go with it’s easy satellite images. Also this app a great way to keep stats from every round and see how my game is trending! It also shows me tips and videos that might help my game out depending on what stat is lacking. I can definitely say that this app has helped my game out! Excited to keep seeing how much I can improve!.Version: 7.6.1
✓ Swing by swingGreat app. But learn to use it before you get on the course..Version: 3.1.1
✓ 6 StarsAfter using this app for “637” rounds, I can’t praise or recommend it enough. I really don’t understand why anyone would want to spend £100’s on a GPS, when you can have this one for free and it does so much more. 5 Stars! That is, until the latest upgrade. Now it has the added benefit of stableford scoring. 6 Stars!!.Version: 8.1.0
✓ Tour Pro approvedSwingU App is your best bet when it comes to improving your golf game. Whether it’s using it as a rangefinder or for keeping stats, or both, SwingU allows the player to keep a record of their rounds and provide ways to improve your game as it pinpoints your strengths and weaknesses and gives the user video help from a certified pro to help you work on what is needed to improve your game. As a professional golfer on tour, I have seen dramatic improvement in my game as SwingU has become my yardage book, rangefinder and stat-tracker. Instant and proper feedback allows any player at any skill level to improve faster and more efficiently. Highly highly recommend!.Version: 7.4.0
✓ Great program.This program changes your game. Put a whole new dimension on playing a course. Amazing..Version: 7.3.7
✓ You’ve just got to trust it.Used the app (premium) for the first time today and took me a few holes to trust the club recommendation, as the wind didn’t feel as strong as what the app said, so I ignored the club rec and went with a club based on the distance and came up short everytime so trusted it and it was incredible, suggested a 6iron from 147 with the wind so I just went for it and finished pin high, highly recommend the app (premium) and as long as you’ve had a gap test and been honest about how far you hit your clubs, just trust it. It works..Version: 7.0.23
✓ Great app :)Really fun and easy to use!!!.Version: 7.5.0
✓ Great app - should sync with friendsThis is a great app but it would be even better if players scores would sync across each player’s app so only one player has to track scores..Version: 7.0.2
✓ Vs 4.0.10 SbSThis app keeps getting modified. One wonders that perhaps these software geniuses have gone over the top. (I get 2 emails whenever we start a round. Then I get 2 more emails announcing that I have completed my round. This was a GREAT APP ABOUT 2 r visions ago. But then as a software guy I beef to stay employed, due out with another revision. This new version 4.0 of swing by swing worked great the 2 times that I used it on golf course. I have been using this iPhone free app for about 4 years? Great App. (Only problem is it is slow and drains my battery). So my wife bought me a Garmin which lets me play 3 rounds on 1 battery charge). I recommended the swing by swing app but after over 284 rounds, I have left for Garmin s20..Version: 7.0.19
✓ Great App!Awesome, I never need to use a cardboard scorecard again. All my scores are kept on the system and handicap is totalled, although not precise. But, overall a great app for a keen social player..Version: 5.0.44
✓ Great on mobile, could be better on Apple WatchBeen using for a few years on mobile and it’s great, easy to use, has some nice features and accurate distances. It would be nice to have an image of the course on the Watch app or green with front middle and back distances like the mobile app. On the watch app another drawback is that it keeps closing in between shots..Version: 7.0.29
✓ Great appFantastic app, great way to follow your stats, accurate GPS, and easy way of keep your scores esp if you play with a regular group!.Version: 4.0.14
✓ Removing score typesSo I am paying premium subscription for what I consider to be the best golf app available and they remove key features with no details of why or when they will be reintroduced. Come on sort this out or swing u becomes switch u.Version: 7.3.9
✓ A mostly great appBut the watch app feels limited and broken at times Personally I’d love a version of the app that could run on the watch as a workout Mostly because it would keep the app on the main screen and not let it fall off in the background. App feels broken because at least once, (if not more often) per game of golf the app asks me to input info for the same hole over and over again. Then we play the next hole and the app still wants the info for the previous hole, even though it has been supplied multiple times.Version: 5.0.39
✓ 110I’m a 110 golfer. It’s app didn’t lower my score. It showed me where I got my 110 score from.Version: 8.0.3
✓ Recent crashingI’ve used this app for over a year now with about 70+ rounds. I’ve tried others but I prefer this one. It’s easy to put in your scores, move the distance marker around, and zoom around on the hole. However, since this last update, it’s been freezing and crashing. If I have to go back and edit a score.. when I click save it either freezes for like 20 seconds and then jumps back to the map or it will just crash and I have to reopen the app. Luckily when it crashes I can resume where I left off, and most of the time it updates the score I was trying to change, but it’s weird it does this now. Maybe it has something to do with the ads? It never did this before you guys put ads in it. Anyways, this is an accurate, detailed (if you need it to be) well designed golf gps and scorecard app. I recommend it.Version: 7.2.1
✓ GolfI haven’t fully used the app but by the looks of it it’s well made but you do need to pay for lots of things but the actual tracker is free.Version: 8.0.3
✓ Swing by SwingI have been using this Ap since I took up golf 3 year’s ago. It is great & up to now, there has never been a course I have played on that it didn’t have in its data base. Also I have been impressed with the support I have had when I had a problem recently. The customer service had been first class. I would highly recommend this Ap for all golfers..Version: 6.0.7
✓ GPSTracking is off and slow. You need to hold it for a while in place to get accurate yardages.Version: 7.6.2
✓ Stableford???Hi, please can you give an update on the Stableford issue. I’ve used the app for quite a few years and have been happy with this until now. What is the issue and when can we expect it to be fixed?.Version: 7.3.9
✓ Really useful!Used a few times on early morning rounds when cards weren't available. Great for keeping mine and my partners score. Distances were very useful for when I strayed off my fairway (often) and needed to know how far to green. Easy and practical to use..Version: 4.3.4
✓ Awesome AppI have tried most of them and this is the one I have landed on for the past 2 years. I have logged over 130 rounds with it so I believe i have a really good idea what the program can do. The basic app is great for scorecard a d putts per round. You can also measure your shot, but not save data. To unlock the full potential you need to upgrade to Looper. Yes their is an annual fee but if you are serious about tracking where you are going it is far cheaper than one lesson. You can track multiple stats, measure AND SAVE distances with each club in your bag. It also will give you advice on shots based on wind conditions and using average distances charted (be careful and dont use in usga events). I have found yardage’s are spot in although if Verizon is your carrier sometimes a few yards off from time to time but that is Verizon not the program. All in All i have found this to be top of the class in this space !!!.Version: 5.0.44
✓ From a Pro!!I have been a professional tour player on the Symetra Tour since 2017 and I began using the SwingU app this year. It is the perfect user friendly golf statistics app for players of all levels (from beginner to professional!) One of the best features of the app is that once the user has put in statistics from several rounds, the strengths and weaknesses of their games are highlighted in the Performance tab and it offers free drills to help make improvements! I would definitely recommend this app to any golfer looking to improve their games!.Version: 7.4.0
✓ Love this App❤️Highly recommend this easy to use app. Made a huge difference to my short game - thanks to everyone involved..Version: 4.4.11
✓ Trustworthy, Reliable and AccurateI’ve been using the Swing by Swing app since it first came out and has never let me down. I use it to keep my score and statistics as well as the score of the foursome I am playing with. I love everything about it! The paid version is absolutely worth it and a bargain. The only thing I don’t like is that it isn’t linked directly to the USGA’s GHIN system. It was great to be able to post scores directly from the app, but that feature went away a few years ago. I’m sure that was a USGA thing, but I hope it comes back someday..Version: 5.0.44
✓ Very happyWorks well here in the south pacific.Version: 4.4.11
✓ Great AppHelp my golf game a lot..Version: 7.0.29
✓ Fantastic golf tracking app!Absolutely love the swing u app. The live tracking during rounds has been a huge help especially playing courses I’ve never played before and the coaching team have helped me greatly with friendly service and great easy to follow drills that have helped my game drastically!.Version: 7.0.22
