Hi Seth. This doesn’t show as an update in the App Store. Do you have to remove 3.0 to install 3.0.1?

[frackh]

Refresh the iOS AppStore, took a couple of times but it's showing up now.

[shimonko]

I haven't been able to find firmware release notes anywhere - are they publicly issued? Thanks.

[SkyTrak_Seth]

We typically don't publish that, but this update just resolves corrupted flash sectors and improves battery monitoring/performance.

[Warpdave]

My Pc’s antivirus won’t let me run this update?
Anyone else having this issue?

[shimonko]

Nope - antivirus programs cause more hassles than they stop. Just disable protection during install or make an exception for it.

A lot of us have requested to ability name players , come on it can't be that hard!!!

Love the update and the graphics improvements are fantastic. It looks much more professional and also seems to be smoother. I did notice a few things though worth mentioning...

While on the driving range, it frequently says HIT when I have definitely NOT landed on the green, but am close to it. It also says HIT if you land on the green and bounce off. It also says HIT if you end up on the fringe...should the fringe be considered hitting the green?

The new greens are beautiful. Have you considered making them a slightly more contrasting color to the surrounding grass (but not the old neon green color). It almost blends too much, such that you can't distinguish the green in the distance when hitting a shot.

The long drive challenge yardage lines are really cool. How about an on/off option to have these same yardage lines on the driving range? Sometimes I like to work on different distances but don't feel like moving the green location every few shots.

Tonight while on network mode, I was having more missed shots, slower shot delay and system freezing. I switched over to direct connect and didn't have any dropped shots and the shot delay was much shorter. Not this may have been because I had 1 kid streaming Netflix and 2 kids playing Minecraft and my network was getting bogged down? I'll experiment more again with this tomorrow.

Thank you very much for continuing to improve the product!

agree update is pretty good just I usually only use the performance Challenges for the skytrak, I play TGC once in a while when I have time not into the tournaments yet but enjoying playing with my wife and kids, not a lot out there for multiplayer

It seems to me that the new fimrware 1.64 did not improve the reliability of the strike capture - rather the opposite.
For fimware 1.5, the success rate was about 90%, now it's about 80% :-(
That's my experience from today's practice session.

[shimonko]

I've gone multiple rounds without even a no-read - at least 400 shots. Are you saying you used to get 1 in 10 no-reads and now get 1 in 5?

[Mirek_62]

Yes, sometimes it records the third shot. Also, the success rate of putts has decreased.

[Meatmiller]

Very seldom do I have a no read unless it's a really high flop shot or a terribly low shanked shot.

I was having a lot of no reads the other day. I started placing the ball outside the dot and it was reading perfectly. Very strange because normally it works best when it slightly inside and back a touch.

[Mirek_62]

Today, I tried to move the ball back against the laser pointer and I can confirm that the success of the shot capture has dramatically improved. Skytrak also identified very low shots by the driver and FW. During the session, only 3 shots were not capture (from more than 100 shots).

I updated to the newest version last night. I did notice on the practice range that with a green placed out on the range my hit vs miss percent was not accurate. The app was showing that I hit the green when I missed left or right.

[SkyTrak_Seth]

That's strange...if that ever happens again, can you try to hit "Replay" at the top and see if it corrects the hit/miss on the replay?

Thanks for the great feedback!

- I need to check the green mapping per this and the user above.

- I agree, the greens need to stand out a bit more

- Way back in the day, we actually had lines on the range..I can see about adding them back. Just want to keep it simple.

- The last one sounds like a network issue to me.
