## Description

Golfboy:Launch Monitor is an iPhone-based golf shot measurement app. With just an iPhone and a tripod, you can capture real-time metrics such as distance, ball speed, launch angle, and club speed. The app also includes a course simulation mode for realistic practice, a dedicated putting mode, and automatic swing video recording to help you analyze every swing.

Free features include trial access to Round, Creator, and Swing modes, while paid plans unlock advanced tools and commercial licenses. Subscriptions offer Basic, Premium, and Business options, with external-cast features (Shot Cast, Putter Cast, Swing Cast, Round Cast) to display data on external screens. Pair a second iPhone to automatically record swing videos with your data when practicing with friends. Golfboy supports iPhone 8 and newer, with enhanced analysis on newer models, and has been tested against laser-based devices to improve real-world accuracy.

## Review summary

Reviews converge on Golfboy as a surprisingly realistic indoor launch monitor with a rich feature set at a budget price. It shines when used with proper lighting and hardware, offering swing analysis, video capture, course creation, and 3D golf simulation, plus easy TV or projector display. However, many users report reliability and accuracy issues with shot tracking, and spin data is not yet available. Setup can be confusing for beginners, and occasional bugs or TV compatibility problems occur. When configured well, it delivers engaging practice and learning for garage gyms and winter training.

### Pros

- Realistic launch monitor experience when lighting and setup are correct
- Fun and engaging for practice, with depth beyond basic metrics
- Broad feature set including swing analysis, video capture, course creation, and 3D golf simulation
- Versatile integration with devices (iPhone/iPad) and displays (TV/projector) for a home setup
- Value for money with premium features at a lower-cost alternative to high-end launch monitors
- Active support resources (forums and tutorials) help with setup

### Cons

- Requires good lighting and often a specific lighting setup; LED can be unreliable
- Tracking and readings can be inconsistent or unreliable, sometimes missing shots
- No ball spin measurement yet, missing important data for some players
- Setup/calibration can be confusing or cumbersome, not always beginner-friendly
- Occasional stability/compatibility issues (crashes, TV not recognizing, etc.)
