Golf GPS Range Finder - SwingU App Reviews

Very accurate to distance . Has all the course I play. Great app. Works well with watch

Oct 2025: Well I have tried Swingu PRO all 2025 golf season. Started May 22 & yup I have seen an improvement. I am member of meetup BNA , TGE, BEGA and Sunset Landing. (Since I stopped using my watch in AUG I have had to depend on Swingu PRO and I’ve really seen a difference. I’ve had to concentrate using SwingU learning how to use it after all these years of having swingU app on my iPhone, so my advice to you is only you Swing you give rid of all your other toys your score sheets y

So easy to use. It’s great to use on the course.

Great app but too much hounding for a subscription. I subscribed to Premium once and it was good. But, they created an Advanced Premium and automatically upgraded me to it at twice the cost which is underhanded to me. Since it was auto-pay, I didn’t notice it until way into the year and just ate the cost, but canceled my subscription after that. Good application, poor application of subscriber trust with my credit card.

I love this app, but the addition of the green reading does nothing for me. It’s great, just does nothing for me except gobble up dat from my provider! Please give me a way to turn off the green portion of the app!

Have been a strong proponent and user of the app for over five years but recently can’t get a signal changed to cellular data. Still doesn’t work updated now giving me an error on login.

Green maps rarely work for me. Maybe it’s the older phone.

I've been using this for several years decades and it's a wonderful tool

So easy to use and understand.

I love SwingU. However, I play in a league that doesn’t allow Green Reading devices of any kind. The Green Map can’t be turned off anywhere, not in the settings or Tournament mode. I contacted support and they feel the app meets USGA rules, but it clearly shows slopes; so I don’t know. This would be a simple switch in the settings or one additional mode that turns off the green maps during the round. Please add this!

Why can’t I see/edit the entire score card like before?

The app and features provided me exactly what I was looking for. The only issue I had was, I found myself having to edit my round throughout the course, because for whatever reason the screen would jump ahead perhaps due to my wrist movement and maybe hitting the crown of the Apple Watch I never figured it out but it became too frustrating to use.

The free version works well but you will be endlessly harassed with pop-ups to sign up for the subscription. Which is very annoying throughout your round. If you get flustered and absentmindedly rush the screens you will get signed up for a 1 year $100 subscription. You can “cancel anytime” but that just means it won’t renew a year later. You’re still out $100 and they won’t reply to any questions sent to their customer service line.

Easy to use. But club recommendation is off due to altitude being off by 80 to 90 yards on my course
