Sign up Closed: 2023 MGS Forum Test: SwingU Pro Golf App

I currently use the ap "Golf Pad". 

I have used so many apps. Swing U, 18 birdies, GN Compete, Grint, and Arccos. I currently use the Grint because it as a calculated handicap feature and the GPS is decent. I also enjoy how there is fun data to look at after your round such as GIR, driving accuracy, and others. I am curious to see how this app compares. One hope is that all the features don't over crowd the screen and on course experience because I want to be present on the course, not on my phone.  

I have used the app in the past.  It is a good app to use.

As stated in the post free for a full year.

Thanks...strange...their site mentions otherwise ?

Ok...but this is what is reported....SwingU is the top-performing, free golf GPS rangefinder & scorecard app in the world, with more than 6 million users around the globe! The SwingU app is FREE FOR LIFE and extremely accurate, reliable, and battery-efficient – rivaling any other golf GPS app or expensive golf GPS handheld or watch on the market!

The basic app is (non pro and plus versions). The pro version which is being tested with all the added features is normally $100 per year.

Jamie beat me to it but here is the screenshot.  Basic features are free in the app not the advanced ones. 

Thanks

Looks like a great app. Some of the 150 women member golf group I belong to are always looking for good golf apps to track their stats. 

Sounds amazing.  Lots of improvement and tracking features.  A statistical dream.

I currently use a mix of Golfshot, my rangefinder, and a strokes gained spreadsheets have. It’s been working ok, but the prescribed drills and having all of that on one app would simplify things a lot.

I love Swing U, I use it all the time in conjunction with my SkyCaddie watch. I don't use the Pro Version, but I would be interested to hear the tester's thoughts. 

I've used the free version in the past and would love to get a chance to check out the premium features!

Hi All. 
This looks like a great opportunity. I have used a range finder with slope and a bunch of apps. I have had subscription level access to Hole19 and GolfLogix but have also used free versions of 18Birdies, V1 Game, The Grint and TaylorMade+ and SwingU. All in the search for the best app! I would love to test out the SwingU pro version. 
Good luck to all!

would love to test this out against the Golfshot app!  Have been very happy with Golfshot.  Really like it when they added SwingID to it.

I am a SwingU subscriber and I use it every week. It will be interesting to read the results of this review.

Being a mobile developer by trade and pretty much disliking the user interface for most of the golf apps out there it would be fun to test if selected and if not selected it will be great to get feedback as I was not a fan of the basic SwingU app.

I would be super into being a part of this if I didn't already have the Garmin club censors and their app/interface. I am a fan of Jon Sherman and he was (still think he is) affiliated with SwingU and is a supporter of their product and I trust his word.

In the past, I used SwingU as my first app and enjoyed it. However, a few buddies and I switched to theGrint because it had some better features, like a legit handicap score (now that feature is no longer available) and shot tracking details. But I am willing to give the app another try to see how it can improve my game. 

I started using Arccos a couple of months ago.  It is supplying me with some post round information but, at this point, no in round information.  I would very much like to see how this may work to aid in on-course information as well as post round information.  I just downloaded the app to see what else is involved and potential benefits.

I just volunteered at the University of Alabama junior golf camp. Several of the campers were using the SwingU app for GPS purposes when we had them on the course. It seemed to provide pretty accurate data for distance to the green and hazard areas when I was helping with course management and shot selection. I was thinking this is something I should check out. I currently only use a range finder except for the fact that the carts at my course have GPS screens. I find those somewhat unreliable since you can have two carts parked next to each other and each screen will show a different distance. This seems like the perfect opportunity to try a product/app that I was going to research anyway. Thank you for your consideration.

Good luck to all applying!  Another great testing opportunity through MGS!

You just gotta sign up for this one!  I've been using SwingU app since 2015 when it went by another name - invented by two guys taking advantage of the GPS tracking on every cell phone requiring very little battery power to operate, they got their computer coding mom to convert the data requirements to the app and presto - SwingBySwing was born in 2008.  Under new ownership/management the SwingU app is more robust and offers a huge variety of features (many of which will cater to those who love stats and improvement stuff).  Best of luck to all those applying and looking forward to reading all about how this new version of my favorite golf app is working for you, and maybe some new tricks for me to take advantage of too!
