The Golf Tracer

Was skeptical at first about purchasing this app, but it’s only like $6 for a one-time purchase and it’s overall worth it. I suggest doing the manual Golf Tracer instead of the automatic tracing so that you can take it frame by frame and get it accurate. Once you get the hang of it, it’s not that difficult to do and you can customize it to make it look like you’re in a video game by adding your name, score, shot #, hole, and par. Plus you can add a distance marker that also makes the final product really neat. All my friends are jealous of it and want it! Best way to do it is just take video of shots during the round and do manual editing when you get home after the round is over, it’s too distracting to try and do during the round. Would suggest this to anyone looking to make the game a little more fun and share your golf outing with others via social media, photo stream, etc. Highly recommend this- worth the money!

This works very well and the shot trace manual adjustment features are great. To have shot tracing capability in a hand held smartphone is perfect for any golfer. When I go to the range to practice I always prefer a clear blue sky with the Sun low and at my back, so I can see the entire ball flight. Those long drives that just fly forever are fun to watch. These are ideal conditions for shot tracing. I am thrilled to record those shots in slow motion and trace the ball flight... it's a great way to troubleshoot your golf swing too. Thanks for a great app!

I’m not exactly sure who all wrote the reviews on this but I feel like they were not accurate. I tested this out several times over a few weeks on the driving range and then also took videos to try at home. I followed the instructions and made a few of these work but all in all, I was pretty upset I spent money on this app. Takes forever to upload one video either by carrier or WiFi (up to 54 minutes) And then the trace sometimes doesn’t work correctly. Also on this app, the user enters the approximate distance. So it’s not even helping give a yardage. This is purely entertainment for the added types of tracing you can change it to and not for those looking for training feedback.

Bought this app after a friend suggested it. Used it today for the first time and love it. Can’t be easier to use and works perfectly. I was surprised at how well it traced the ball. Perfect for Instagram posts or even just to share a shot with some friends. We all know it’s almost impossible to show a nice shot with just a reg video but this works just like it does for when the pros are on TV!

The app itself is somewhat underwhelming. You will enjoy the app if you enjoy spending 10+ minutes adjusting sliders in the “Manual Tracer” mode trying to get the line to match the path of your ball, since the automatic mode just doesn’t seem to ever get it right. I wanted to try a similar app called “Shot Tracer” with the possibility remained of me returning back to this app. The developers claim to offer “Full refunds to any unsatisfied customers”, but have gone completely silent when I try to contact them about following up on that. This is nothing like the tracers you will see on TV.
