Review summary

Users praise SwingU for being easy to use and for accurate distances, with helpful round features like hazard and green distances and club stats. However, recurring complaints focus on intrusive ads, scoring/navigation bugs (including jumping back to the first player and a 9-hole limit), and occasional reliability issues after updates. Some users also note unit-conversion quirks. Overall, it’s valuable when functioning smoothly, but ads and stability problems can disrupt rounds.

Pros

Easy to use / user-friendly interface
Accurate distance measurements, including hazards and green front/back
Rich round features: hazard/green distances, club distance stats, and score tracking
Responsive support and timely updates/fixes

Cons

Intrusive ads during rounds and score entry
Scoring entry/navigation bugs (jumps to the first player, difficulty finishing scores, 9-hole limit)
Reliability issues after updates (crashes, app quitting, watch app problems)
Occasional unit-conversion quirks (yards/meters)

2026-06-20	Ne*****	Want to like this app and it has many positives. But, free version won't load stats due to ads or may other areas. I block ads. Drop the redirect to ads and more may pay for the app. The maps for courses is an awesome feature though.
