How do I get this?
Please refer to our website: https://golfshot.com/auto-tracking
Only for Apple? Do you plan Android version?
We do not have a date yet, but this is on the docket for the future. We will keep everyone updated as we know more!
Make it happen with Samsung watch. Priority!
Why in the world would you only launch one platform? I’d just about be willing to bet there are just as many if not more Androids in the field as I Phones!!
Cant wait!
I’ve moved on, tired of waiting for Samsung update, bought my garmin S62 not looking back! Auto shot tracking and accurate GPS to boot!
Any news on shot tracking for Android now the new wear os 3 is launched? I was disappointed and suprised not to have this feature when I switched to Samsung s22 and watch 4. Many thanks!
Hi Richard! Our team in busy season as you can imagine, but we are working on this and we will let everyone know when we have it ready!
Is this only available on the apple watch as I have a galaxy watch
At the moment this is an Apple feature only.
Do we need to buy auto shot tracking or free app for apple watch
Auto shot tracking is only available for our Pro Members!
Please launch the app for Android.watches. I love this app on my phone but getting frustrated that it does not work with my watch
We are compatible with Wear OS. Auto shot tracking is new and only available on Apple Watch at the moment.
Agree with comments, there are a lot of Android users and we should actually get new features first!
raecve@msn.com
Android? Will it ever happen???
We do not have a timeline for this yet, stay tuned for updates!
Hopefully I’ll still be around when android launches. Samsung is the only way to go.
Any update on when auto shot tracking will be available on Android ?
We do not have a timeline for this at the moment, stay tuned for when new updates may arrive.

Currently, Auto Shot Tracking is available with Apple Watch only.
Hi, I often play the Masters par 3 course at sandown park. Last year I was able to enter my scores as I do when I play other clubs, but this year, I can’t get to the Start Round button. Why is this?
Many thanks
Paul
Hi Paul, that sounds like a technical issue, please ensure your app is up to date. If it is, please uninstall and reinstall to try again and if issues persist, please email our support team support@golfshot.com
My first experience was a bit confusing… seemed as though the gps was doing some goofy Stuff. The watch was correct but on my iphone not so much. Also scoring was a bit confusing as for some reason the actual hole was jumping? Unless I was doing something on my watch to change.
Not sure. On my iphone there was a phantom location mark that was difficult to get rid of… reset did not clear… pretty sure it had to do with shot tracking.
Been using your app for years love it!
Interesting note, please reach out to support@golfshot.com, this could be a bug or something they have a quick fix for!
So this why my samsung phone doesn’t work any more.
Not sure what that means, but we are currently working on Tizen products if you’re referring to your watch that is paired with your Samsung phone!
Just figured out today how to change tracking club; as the default, many times was incorrect.
The ping for the swing is good; but it does pick up false (practice) swings regularly. Perhaps let a user select how many practice swings they take so that I can preset it?
I typically take two or three before approaching the ball. More to loosen up than anything else.
If I know my preset swings; I can take them, and then the next shot? Bingo.
Having the cancel button is good; bit noticed sometimes the app would not let me change the screen to cancel the shot.
Hi Ted, if you are having some issues as stated here, and they are not correcting, please reach out to support@golfshot.com so they can troubleshoot this with you on your account.
I have Autoshot tracking but have no idea what it does?
Please refer to our website: https://golfshot.com/auto-tracking
When will shot tracking be available on the smartphone without the need to have Apple Watch?
You can track your shot on your phone: https://shotzoom.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000944613-How-do-I-track-club-distances- It currently is not done automatically like the watch, but we will see what we can do for the future!
Waiting for the app to track a left handed shot with watch on the trailing wrist
I don’t know how to use this app and I’m thinking of discontinuing it so I need some instructions
Are you unclear on the app itself? Or this new feature? New feature set up can be found here: https://golfshot.com/auto-tracking. If you’re unclear on the app in general, please refer to our FAQ’s, there are many different pieces from imagery syncing, to GPS set up, to course selection. https://shotzoom.zendesk.com/?utm_source=mixpanel
I like the shot tracking feature but would really appreciate a full shot tracking function. It would work like this you have a shot tracking screen that has all of your clubs, a hole out button and a correct previous entry button. at the tee you select the club you are going to hit and the app takes a gps reading of where you are. you go to your next shot and push the club you will hit there. the app calculates the distance from the previous point and saves it with the previous club selection as a shot. the process is then repeated until you push the hole out button at the hole. you could overlay all of the shots on the course map with their distance at the end of the hole and at end of the round save all holes for later review
I love the APP and was thinking of registering for the full utilities but I do have a few concerns, I find that when holes are close together or run parallel to each other the app gets confused on which hole your playing and then it’s hard to get it back to the proper hole. Do you have any suggestions ! Otherwise I think he APP is great.
You can manually select your hole if you’re having issues! We do have automatic hole by hole settings, to move as you move, but if there are errors, please go to your round and select the hole manually to ensure!
Interesting figures, but what is auto shot tracking and how does it work?
Please refer to our last blog, or our webpage here! https://golfshot.com/auto-tracking
greetings have forgotten customers with android system
They are sponsored by Apple so other formats come a DISTANT second
If only we were sponsored by Apple, wouldn’t that be something!
Is Auto Shot Tracking possible on a Apple Watch SE?
Yes it is!
Hi I’ve been using it … so here are my observations .
The shot track doesn’t work on all holes … it reads a few and misses a lot more .
The shot tracked use a different club than the one which would be recommended by the caddy settings do golf shot. For e.g on my phone the Golfshot caddy would show my a 9 iron for 140 yds , I would choose a 9 iron and hit the ball , but the auto shot would ready a 3 wood or driver or even a 7 iron …
While playing we can be juggling with gadgets … I love the idea .. but I think the club selected for shot tracking should be linked to the club recommended by the Golfshot caddy , it can changed if you don’t want to use the club recommended then u can manually change it .
Thank you for your suggestions. As this is a first iteration we do have some work to do, we did a lot of testing and we were able to avoid many missed shots. Please email support@golfshot.com with any ideas, or needs in the future!
Life goes on for Apple watch users eh Hector?
i was very disappointed with this app for my apple watch- It was not matching screens – It would track anything and the watch shut off- yes i had blue tooth turned on- i selected the course but………I stopped the free subscription
We’re sorry to hear you stopped the free subscription. Please visit our Support page for more FAQ’s for better assistance or email our support team directly for best assistance, support@golfshot.com
Apparently not available in Spain
It is available worldwide, if your course is missing please email support@golfshot.com to get it added in.
The update is shocking !! Having to continually keep an app open on an Apple Watch to transfer data is appalling and I am shocked that the developers were allowed to release this update under the current format. I’ve tried for 20mins keeping apps open on both phone and watch with ZERO progress. I’ve tried to delete and reinstall. Simply appalling for what could easily be the best GPS app out there.
If you have Golfshot Pro, there should not be a disconnect, please email support@golfshot.com if you have an active Pro subscription and are seeing issues!
You need a subscription on top of the $89 you paid. I’d like a refund
This feature requires a Pro Subscription, which is $49.99 per year.
I tried it for 3 holes but it tried to record every practice swing as a stroke so I turned it off. Am I doing something wrong?
If you’re practicing within the same area you take your full swing, our Swing ML will pick this up and count only your full swing: https://shotzoom.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360063096553-What-if-Auto-Shot-Tracking-records-practice-swings- . If issues still persist please email support@golfshot.com!
It doesn‘t work. Because I‘m lefty and wear my watch on the left side 🥴
You need to wear it on your leading wrist, not your trail wrist! And make sure to select the correct setting in your Apple Watch settings! Please email our support team if you still have issues, support@golfshot.com. https://shotzoom.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360063150313-What-wrist-should-I-wear-my-watch-on-
Can you please enable shot tracking for the other wrist? I can’t wear my watch on the other wrist comfortably. Thanks.
This is within our developers scope and they are working on it!
How are you planning support anti Apple users?
Just upgraded clubs and would be great to get an idea of stats to build up against them.
I used the auto tracking system for first time today using me Apple Watch and tracking was good and went straight to next hole but wouldn’t score me and wouldn’t allow me to input score, so had to turn off and then I could score myself . Is there a issue with this application on app?
If you are running into an issue, please ensure your app is up to date. If it is, please uninstall and reinstall, sounds trivial but usually corrects most issues. If still issues persist, please email support@golfshot.com and they can troubleshoot with you!
Works pretty well most of the time giving correct distance to front, centre and back of the green, sometimes slow to update distance on the Apple 3 watch , though this could be down to atmospheric conditions for the gps.
I have tried for several days to download the Swing ML and the download just stalls. Keeps saying transferring to watch. Any suggestions? I have followed all of the recommended steps.
If you have tried everything here: https://shotzoom.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360061267454-What-if-the-SwingML-Auto-Tracking-software-is-not-loading-successfully- and still having issues, please reach out to our support directly at support@golfshot.com
I have been using the Auto Tracking for about 8 rounds now and it is fantastic. I just love this feature. It misses a few shots here and there but does register most of them. I love the fact that you can view all your shots at home after your round. This is a fantastic feature. Issue I am having is that I can’t seem to get a full round in without the Apple Watch battery going dead at 16 holes. I have closed all other apps but it does seem to drain the battery very quickly. I have haptic turned off to save power. I have used my Apple Watch with Golfshot for years and never had that issue. Any help would be appreciated.
Our suggestion is to read over our FAQ here on saving battery power and giving them all a try! https://shotzoom.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000961174-How-can-I-conserve-battery-life-while-using-Golfshot-
That article you sent the link for is related to the battery life of the iPhone and not the watch. It is also 2 year old. Maybe update that and add some suggestions for the Apple Watch.
Just curious how it treats practice swings?
Hi there! It can detect based on the area you are in, noting practice swings versus a real, true swing. Here is more on it: https://shotzoom.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360063096553-What-if-Auto-Shot-Tracking-records-practice-swings-
Hi, I can‘t seem to delete recorded shots from the iPhone app after my round. After hitting the red delete button the tracked shot still shows up. Any fix for this?
That might be a small fix, please email support@golfshot.com so they can access your account and see if there is a bug, or a small error that needs addressing!
Do you think you’d be able to add strokes gained data to the app?
We’ve had this comment a few times, our developers have it on their list!
Hi, I used the app twice however I am struggling to change the auto selected club every time I hit the ball. Do I have to go right two times where it says club and tee and scroll up and down to change the club?
Hello there, you can find this in our FAQ here on how to change that! https://shotzoom.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500002875342-How-do-I-adjust-my-club-during-Auto-Shot-Tracking-
The syncing imagery feature on the Apple Watch hasn’t been working for me the last few rounds. Any reasons?
Here are some tips from our support: https://shotzoom.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360045946113-Why-aren-t-my-aerial-images-showing- If those do not work, please reach out to support@golfshot.com so they can help you directly!
I’ve got the same issue. I’ve tried restarting my iPhone and Apple Watch, unpairing and repairing, and uninstalling and reinstalling the app but the problem remains.
Please reach out to our support, support@golfshot.com, for all technical and account questions!
This feature just solidified this as the best golf app out there! Sky is the limit now!
Apple shot tracking is great, but it would be nice to be able to correct the club selected later in the round or even after the round, as I often forget and it auto picked the wrong club. It’s wrong more often than right

I can’t get the app to work properly on my galaxy watch 3 never mind the auto shot.
When my phones screen turns off, it seems to Impact the watch. It’s a shame I was looking forward to using it.
Auto shot on Android would be nice. What’s the hold up?
Hello there, we work across iOS, Wear OS and now Tizen, where each platform requires much testing and hoops to jump through. We wish it were a fast process but we have to ensure we cross every T and dot every I. Auto shot tracking is only available on the Apple Watch as of right now.
Hi looks like it’s been over a year since the last query on auto tracking shot for android wear os devices, I’m a full pro member and I’m still waiting for this feature a year on and still no news on this feature on android, can you advise when this will likely be coming, because if it ain’t by the end of this year I will just cancel my pro sub and go elsewhere thankyou
Our Beta Testing was completed in August, and it has been live for almost 3 weeks now in the app. Please refresh your app, or download the latest version and you should see the options to use AST for Wear OS devices for Pro Members.
I used this for the first time the other day and I was impressed by the functionality. It’s not perfect and it will take a few rounds for me to learn how to use it seamlessly without too much distraction. I am right-handed and play left-handed so for now, I’ll move my watch to my right wrist to play until you have figured out the trailing hand. However, I putt right-handed and the app doesn’t detect when I’ve taken my first putt. So I need to end shot manually before putting. Please consider this as you continue to build out the technology.
What about Android? Are there any expectations to have an Android capable version amy time soon?
We do not have a timeline yet, but we do hope to bring this to Android soon!
I recently subscribed for the paid membership I have not been able to get this function to work at all. I followed all the instructions on your web site with no luck. I have an Apple Watch 5. The only way my shots track is when I use my phone and put them in manually. I don’t see the need for a paid membership if it doesn’t work. I like the app but this is frustrating me.
For technical issues, please reach out to support@golfshot.com so they can look at your subscription and walk you through troubleshooting any issues!
Love the Apple Watch functionality.
This is the best app I’ve seen and reasonably priced and your
Will there be future plans to add putting data (feet distance) in the future.
Even without it, it is still a great app!
This is something we are currently working on, please keep an eye out for this in the near future!
