PING App Reviews

Im a fan of Ping products but this App is a big disappointment. The tempo metric isnt close to being accurate and its a bit cumbersome to use.

For those of you who cant get the swing tempo to work accurately, its you...not the app. Works fabulously. Thank you, Ping for 1. Making an app that shows golfers the potential of the Apple Watch. Tracking swing tempo and practice sessions is awesome. Theres no reason with the advanced sensors built into the watch and the phone that we cant get swing/ball speed estimates, flight paths, and more from this app in the future. 2. Thanks for not making me purchase an iCradle to use the swing features. This makes me more likely to actually check out the product and evaluate it. Classy move.

I was hoping to use this app to work on swing tempo efficiently however it feels slow and cumbersome. It doesnt capture each swing I make. For now, stay with external Bluetooth devices like Swingbyte which will give you way more than tempo. Unfortunately those are more complex systems which adds time to your training. Im hoping the Ping app will improve over time.

Docking station for iPhone 6 is not available making the app useless unless you have the Apple Watch and want to work out. Oh well you get what you pay which in this case was nothing for nothing.

Unfortunately I was excited to use the app and track my swing through my watch. I downloaded the app and payed for it to actually do anything. When I tried using the app, it kept freezing on my watch, never worked with my phone, the watch is confusing to switch clubs, and completely drained my watch battery within about 20 minutes. Overall, nothing works and technology wise, it is quite confusing and not very fluent in its system.

The app was crashing on my iPhone 6 after the latest update. I resolved the issue by deleting and reinstalling it on my phone. The tempo feature is a great tool to remind me not to rush my backswing. My sweet spot is 3.0 (3 to 1 backswing to swing ratio). I also like how Swing Practice health metrics are recorded in the Activity app. I would give it 5 stars if it could calculate swing speed.

First this wouldnt show any swing info after everything was set up so reinstalled. And now it wont recognize my app purchase on the watch.

I was excited by the prospect of this app and the Apple Watch. It was touted with the introduction of Apple Watch, but the app wasnt available for a while. I had previously purchased the iPhone cradle for putting practice and enjoyed it, but the watch app is troublesome. It freezes in middle of pratice and was hard to restart. I tried using it to play golf, but the response time was too slow, it often hung up, and it drained the watch battery before the round ended. Now I cant get it to work at all. It says if I purchased the full version, start the Ping app on iPhone and wait for the acknowledgement. No such acknowledgement occurs for the app that I paid for on this expensive watch.

I love the idea of this app however its pretty flawed. Response is slow on the watch and my phone is on me in my pocket at all times. Then the app stopped working completely on my phone. Open and crash. So I had to reinstall and when I did that I lost all my historical rounds data. Awesome....

Sorry I paid money for this app. Doesnt register swings. Not useful

Used the watch app today. It rarely worked. Ceases 99% of the time. $5? Dont bother.

Its unstable, freezes, fails to synch, misses the swing count and its Apples featured watch App!!! The primary purpose for me to buy the app was to get some swing practice but all it tells you is tempo and nothing more about the swing.

The app is a money grab. Very misleading. Provides absolutely no swing assistance. All it does is calculate your up swing time and down swing time. Literally how fast did you swing up. How fast did you swing down. Which any golfer will tell you is the most stupid thing. No one cares about arm speed. Only club head speed. Huge waste of money.
