## Review summary

The Golf Tracer is valued when it works, offering precise editing and manual tracing, but recurring issues include glitches, imprecise frame selection, trouble saving videos, and weak support. Addressing stability, frame control, and billing/support would address the main concerns.

### Pros

- Positive reception when the app functions (e.g., users say they love the app or that it’s flawless).
- Precise tracer editing capability that lets you adjust the shot path with high accuracy.
- Manual tracing mode provides direct control over the trace path.

### Cons

- Glitches, bugs, and instability (crashes, blank screens, unreliable performance).
- Frame/impact-point selection is imprecise, with the tracer jumping or snapping to different frames.
- Inability to save/export videos and unexpected charges for upgrades/pricing issues.
- Limited onboarding and support (no user guide and slow or no responses from the developer).
