Sparrow - Golf

Great idea for an app. Can’t contact customer support anywhere. If you have a waggle of any sorts, it will count it as your swing. I can’t swing as good if I don’t have club moving a little before my backswing. You can’t upload videos either; which is a deal breaker for me. I understand why because they want camera to be lined up, but you should be able to edit entire clips if like in this case, all of my swings were based off my pre-swing routine.

If you aren’t the exact proportions as the same video of the pro they use, pretty much all the app is useless. There’s pretty much no nuance in things like height. I’m 5’7, in which app kept telling me to lower my stance, so i did, but it apparently wasn’t low enough. The app kept telling me to lower my stance until my hands were completely off the grip and they both were on the shaft, which was apparently perfect, i thought maybe i picked the wrong club, nope! It worked decent enough for some leg work like knee bends, but it wouldn’t pick up things like my legs shooting up faster than a nasa rocket halfway through my downswing. It also kept registering random things on my wall as my club and birds that were 100 feet away as my driver head, and there’s no way to correct it. The scoring they give for shots is unbelievably inconsistent, it gave a clip of me slicing a drive 100 yards to the right a 8.4, while it gave a clip of scottie scheffler nailing a drive 300 yards a 7.2. I thought maybe the apps other features are helpful like it’s drills, nope! It’s just a collection of youtube videos that it sorts from actual golf youtubers, thanks for saving my fingers the extra work of typing it on youtube myself guys! Atleast it seems like my activating my free trial and then immediately canceling gave me a free stand phone stand, which i honestly hope i won’t have to regret because i don’t want my spam mail doubling next week. If you wanna see if this app works for you, go ahead and start a 7 day free trial and go into your settings app, then immediately hit cancel. You still get access for the week and it won’t charge you. If this app works for you, it honestly seems kinda helpful with things like your swing plane and your backswing. If it doesn't work like you expect, save yourself a headache and just delete it.

The app keeps crashing on me while it’s recording. I used the app for the first time today and was excited but then I noticed it crashed on me about 5 times in a 30 minute span.

I can’t get a good session in because it’s constantly crashing while I’m using it… not impressed

I am not brand new to golf. But I have never actually taken lessons. This app was able to point out adjustments I should make to my swing and it immediately made me feel more confident. I was also only using the free app. I will likely try the Pro subscription

Gave simple tips that gave immediate results.

App is a scam that won’t let you pay for the video services without giving an address just to send you a junk phone holder. Also if you want to cancel they rely on OTP messages and then say it doesn’t match just so you can’t close the account.

Cost way to much money as cool as it is.

Closes every time I try to record….deleting.

I was a little skeptical - the reviews were good, with a few concerns expressed. I tried it tonight in my simulator and was amazed. It processed the swings fairly quickly, was super easy to use and the feedback was spot on. The tips and correction drills were great, and the feedback from the swings working to correct the issue showed the improvement. I started with a 7 day trial but will subscribe. Single digit, low handicapper here - tough to impress but this app is worth it.
