PING App Reviews

I have never written a app review before. But I have to tell you this app is terrible. I cant get the gps to even start to find my course. It never comes on. With the advent of the Iwatch 2 with GPS built in you would think you could get some decent yardage. This app wont even give you yardage. Im very disappointed!

I use this app every time I go to the driving range. I can see how it could be a battery drain when using it for a full round of golf, but it is great at the range. I really feel like it is improving my swing. At least I can tell when Im getting more consistent. I also love the fact it tracks your swings.

Updating to reflect the lasted version: PING gave an accurate explanation why it drains the battery - but doesnt react to most simple way to deal with it: MAKE THE Heart Rate Monitoring OPTIONAL!! I dont care about my heart rate when playing golf - but rounds of more than 4 hrs DO HAPPEN! And Im not always starting with a 100% fully charged battery. Turning off the HR sensor is the most effective battery saver: at least make it an optional setting! ----------- The Apple watch is waiting to become a useful tool for golfers - and PING provides a good approach for playing a round. Yet - and thats the killer - with watchOS 3 it turns on heart rate monitoring when you start a round and this is draining the battery within 2hrs. I gave it 2 tries with a full battery and never made it past the front nine before running into low battery. PING: if you read this, make the HR monitoring optional via user switch (or turn it off at all). Im sure it can then last a full round and I will happily remove this berating. The best app - when practically unusable - isnt worth many stars. On the more positive side: The UI (with WatchOS 3) is now sufficiently fast and presents actual distances. Scoring and navigation between holes is done nicely. Switching between green-view and hole-view is easy - but one cant adjust the flag position and not zoom in to fairways to plan for a layup shot. :( Swing metrics and practices: no review; its just not my thing. One can become a good player and practice well without these toys. Summary: PING is on a good way - but currently the app is not usable to play a round of golf. Fix it and it will be 4 stars with room to eventually get 5.

While the concept is great and when it works it is great but there in lies the problem. I have played 7 rounds since paying 40 bucks for this app. 2 of the 7 rounds it has worked. The other rounds it either crashes or simply disappears. Wish I wouldnt have spent the 40 bucks.

Should be zero stars.

Update: workouts are never recorded in Health - and still too many bugs. App wont recognize purchase and is always telling me to buy full version of app.

I was so excited for an app that would calculate my swing ratio through my Apple Watch. Unfortunately this app crashes all the time. When it works its fantastic but that is rarely.

crash watch app and shut down app. fix app .. not working ..

Paid the $5 for the Apple Watch features. The app crashes on the watch immediately without fail.

Not ready for prime time. Crashes every time.

The app crashes on the watch! Want my money back.

Paid $5 for the upgrade to take advantage of the Watch features. Does not work at all. Could not get it to capture any swing data at all.

Hard to rate an app that doesnt work. One is probably too high. Downloaded the app, linked to my Apple Watch. Seemed like you really needed to buy the upgrade to get functionality so went ahead and did that (I think). Now the app crashes whenever I open it. Deleted and downloaded it several times with no success.

Purchased upgraded version of this App. It does not seem to work. Whenever I load the app crashes. Sent an email to the developer will see what they say. Have deleted and reinstalled the app several times with no change

Well that was a waste of five dollars. This app simply doesnt work. I uninstalled and reinstalled it on multiple occasions. Then saw an update to fix the issues so installed that. This made it worse (if that was at all possible), as now the watch tells me to install the full version which is installed on the phone. If you like to waste money and get frustrated then this is the app for you!

1. Apple watch battery won’t last for 18 holes for golf !!!! 2. It sometimes hang or crash on Apple Watch. 3. The response on Apple Watch sometimes very slow! 4. The workout data can’t be deleted on the Watch and iPhone.

A total useless app which crashes permanently. If in training mode it only registered 126 out of 300 ball hits while it drained 85%!!!!! of the watch battery. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY

Finally got the app to work and now it barely works and doesnt keep track of anything. I want my money back!!!!!

It does not work! Five dollars wasted!! I want my money back

To echo the other reviews, and hopefully get Ping to act on them, the app just doesnt work.
