Ace Trace - Shot Tracker 4+

Needs Tweak to Make Golf Perfect

This app has potential to be perfect. If they can rework the way you manually track a golf ball, this thing will be flawless. Currently there is a start, finish and two points to create an arch. The issue with this is, if your ball goes high in the frame, it’s impossible to create and arc due to the top editing points going too high. If they could merge the disc golf and golf manual tracker this would solve any issues. Have a start point, an end point, followed by you manually tracking the ball to the peak, then down as far as possible. That might solve the confusing acceleration tool also.

The auto track function is cool but needs an enhancement where you can pause and relocate the tracker in case of divots, birds, tee, or anything else that may enter frame.

I hope with a subscription based service, the team can continue with updates and upgrades. I have zero issue paying $25 for an entire season of golf and unlimited videos. Everyone else complaining about that should probably find a new hobby.

Thank you for you detailed feedback!
I'm working on improving the manual tracking right now, it's going to be much easier soon.

Using for Baseball Flights

Pretty darn good. Please work out how to better zoom and pan in manual mode to set points. Very clumsy in present version trying to track a long ball path. Need ability to pinch/zoom/pan at every ball flight location to smoothly show the ball path.

Also, definitely better flight curve holding the video steady in one shot without any camera movement. However, app description implies originally video can have motion (pan/zoom) snd still capture ball path. Doesn’t seem that way though because I’m struggling to not have weird and eratic flight paths when using footage that originally has pan/zoom.

Almost Great for Golf!!!

I was using this app for about a day before the latest update released. I get how with disc golf it’s probably really easy to tag a couple spots without the “+” and get a good trace. I was trying this out for golf (didn’t realize until after that it wasn’t it’s intent) and it was working pretty well, but the removal of the “+” made finding the ball really hard and frustrating.
I honestly think this could be a great multi purpose app for Golf Shot Tracing as well. There aren’t any with good reviews and I bet you would get a lot of traction there.
The “video bundle” section is confusing and makes me not want to pay right away, $1 per video is crazy for the lower tier. But the subscription (gold) model makes a ton of sense, I would just have that or make it the default when you go to pay.

Thanks for your feedback. Now we released a golf interface, which should make it much easier to trace a golf shot - check it out
