Total Scam
Update: I have used the app. Even more of a scam than I thought!! You take a video with your phone and put it in their scam app. Thennn YOU have to draw your own line and figure out where your ball went. There is absolutely NO shot tracer. YOU are the tracer! I want my money back!!! Full Refund! - Total scam!! The app is $5.99 with the description not mentioning once that there’s in app purchases that you HAVE to buy just to use the app. Total waste of $5.99 plus tax just to realize it’s useless without signing up for $9.99 a month!! They should HAVE to mention it before having people buy an app! 🤬
Incorrect ads
Seems they have two apps ones the free one but subscription based and there’s a paid one which is this one. So I got it as a one time fee but now when I open the app it says to pay the subscription again. What was the point of the price tag for this app if they both do the same and pay the same subscription
Used to be great
Used to be a great app. But after the latest updates, what’s the point? Instead of an automatic shot tracer you have to manually mark the ball and the landing point.
Worthless. You do the work
What’s the point of paying for an app to create a Shot Tracer if I have to do all the work. Pick the starting line pick the ending. Choose the shape of the trace spend a ton of time trying to get it to match up. Also beware because do you actually get any functionality? You have to pay an outrageous price for a monthly subscription.
Constantly Crashes
App constantly crashes and hasn’t been updated in almost a year. Has this app been abandoned?
Worst $6 I ever spend
Does not work this app is garbo
Terrible
Don’t be tricked by their social media posts, hard to believe that those videos are even using the app
It stinks
Used to be ok a couple years ago. It’s now trash.
Shot tracer
Worst experience ever. Don’t buy it save yourself time and money, this app is trash, unable to locate the trajectory of the ball, it’s so bad not even doing it manually works 😡
Don’t waste your money
Crash crash crash and not user friendly. Doesn’t support 4k. Trash app.
Can’t use Mac OS Subscription
Support is as bad as the app. Paid for subscription that was supposed to include mobile apps but there is no way to sign in or enter existing license information
Terrible
Videos continuously upload upside down.
Terrible
Believe what everyone says and save $6
Terrible App
I figured maybe this app would be somewhat like what I see on Instagram or on PGA. Not even close. This app was complete garbage and a waste of $5.99 - I wouldn’t recommend this to anybody looking to make or edit videos regarding shot tracer. I did this via upload and it adds your video and makes you edit or horizontally, and the editing details are terrible and don’t even work. 0/10 waste of money, I would almost even call this a scam.
Just awful
The app is terrible and does not work at all. The automatic editing never works and the manual editing is difficult because you can’t preview the video at all. It’s basically trial and error. Don’t waste your money.
Broken
This is terrible, do not waste your money. I need a refund!
Worst ever
Honest to god worst app I’ve ever used. Please refund my money I can’t believe yall let people pay for this
👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
Tbh it’s a waste of money. I’ve tried being patient while using this app but it flat out doesn’t wanna work
App doesn't work
It does not pick up the ball flight. Don't waste your money.
Works one time in 100
Even when I manually set the impact frame, it moves the line elsewhere. Waste of Money.
Terrible
Creator of this app gave up on this app. Don’t bother.
Glitchiest app….
Very disappointed I bought the Pro version. 1 out of 20 swings worked and now it just gives me a glitchy screen when saving video. Tracer is never accurate. Hope they improve this app drastically.
Crashes when i save
Every time i edit and save a video the app crashes. It’s essentially a useless app. Don’t download
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY
I should have known better by the reviews but they were old reviews so I was hopeful. This app is horrible. When I attempt to upload my golf video the gallery never finds my video. My videos just repeat themselves over and over and do not locate the actual video I need.
Such a terrible app
Such a piece of **** product. Please issue me a refund. This is arguably the worst app I’ve ever used.
bad editing
worked for a lil ... then tracer started doing its own thing , can't manually fix the shot tracer as advertised, glitches everytime now
save your 6 bucks
absolutely terrible app its extremely hard to use and looks like it was made in one day by a 12 year old. doesn’t even trace your ball and the videos i saved were were so glitchy i couldn’t even tell what was going on absolutely do not buy
App
This might be one of the WORSSSSTTTT APPS EVER does not work at all. I want my money back! Trying to use it for my YouTube channel, does not work. Do not get!!!!

Laughable
Terrible. Don’t waste your money, plain and simple
This app doesn’t work
This app doesn’t work at all, it’s a total scam to take peoples money while your app isn’t working
Doesn’t Work Very Well
It’s difficult to use & fades the color of the videos when exporting.
Awful app
Hardly works and ruins the quality of the videos
Literally just never works
Horrible app. I feel like I could make a better one myself with zero experience. Maybe I will
DO NOT BUY!
I’m warning you this app is trash, never buy it.
Trash
This is just wasting money. I don’t usually leave review, but this app makes me must put bad review. It is what a trash app!! Never works.
No
An absolute train wreck of an app, waste of money
Not working
Not working on my phone iphone15pro. Please refund.
I want my money back
I want my money back, I have tried a very clear golf shot 10 times and it keeps saying Re-tracking ball. I dont get it
Never Worked Once
Seems they never fully polished the tracer coding in this app. Wouldn’t recommend especially considering you have to pay for it.
HORRENDOUS :: Literally Never Works
I’ve tried to create well over 75 videos and only one actually worked with 90% of the time the app glitching and closing out. DO NOT WASTE TOUR TIME OR MONEY!!!
App is trash.
This is straight garbage, the automatic tracking doesn’t even get it close. When you try to do it manuel it doesn’t work correctly. Don’t waste your money. I want a refund.
Awful
I want my money back. Never once got it to work. iPhone 14 Pro Max.
Horrible company
Service is awful. App works maybe 10% of the time.
I’m a fool for buying this
I saw the reviews, figured “well I saw it work for this guy on youtube” and still spent the money like a shmuck. This app is a scam. I uploaded crystal clear videos, 1080 30fps like they recommend, the app couldn’t track the ball even if it was the size of a meteor.
I’m better off drawing a line on my phone with a crayon.

Do NOT buy.
Terrible, I never write reviews and figured I’d buy it cause it was cheap. I’d personally like you to save your 5.99. The automatic tracking doesn’t work and the manual tracking is hard to use. Once you finally get a good manual arch created you go to render and the video looks like it’s been scratched by wolverine if that makes sense.
Good marketing. Terrible app
Tried on iPhone 14 Pro Max and 15 Pro Max and have never ONCE gotten it to work. Not one time.
Crashes, glitchy, super hard to use. It would be better if they just gave you a straight line and I could place my impact point and landing spot. (Btw you can do that after it fails to track your ball 20x but even editing manually is difficult).

Terrible App
Paid for it. Now all it does is crash when trying to use for content. Waste of time.
👎🏾
Nothing but upside down renderings, do not waste your money!
Terrible App. Does Not Work!
Don’t waste your money. This is a terrible App that does not work and consistently crashes. I am extremely frustrated with this app. Do not waste your time and effort.
Lack of accuracy of the trajectory
If you have a good camera you can see the ball and tracer path diverge at a certain point. The tracer path continues to go up and the ball was going down. Maybe it’s a user error issue. If it is please correct me and my review will change.
