      when will the alignment functionality be available(that beta sim users are using)?

  • Have any of the below been added or will be added?

    In practice mode side and top view should be plotted on a graph/ chart that suits the session/ selection, ie if hitting 100 yard shots, the graph should be 120 yards long etc (or be able to zoom in)
    Data on app shows 10 items, on the Sky Golf 360 site it shows 9 (Side angle is missing, we could do with this)
    Dispersion circle/ grouping on top view (like GC2 does)
    Can you add a chart to show the shot dispersion's onto the sky golf site?
    Some kind of combine, like with Trackman etc

    I made a spreadsheet in about an hour and I import my data into it, like the attached, but to be honest I really shouldn't have to and there should be a more "professional" way to display this.

    I've not got the game improvement package and haven't tried the closest to the pin as the slider was very poor, but I imagine it may be slightly better shown in that (if it's now working)?

    I'm worried that the attention is going to be taken away from making the product better at being an aid to improve at golf, and is instead going to be steered towards simulating a game, now the course simulator options are out.

      Nice job on the spreadsheet it looks great. I'm sure you had to manually enter all the info, if we had some way to get a spreadsheet type export of the data we could make our own program to chart and plot with some fancy graphics.

  • How about the ability to turn off sync? In network mode, if your network is slow, lag seems to increase when trying to sync. This would be nice without having to change to direct connection mode.

    • I'd like the ability to "slide" the alignment on the screen to match your setup. That way, if your setup is offset, you can be looking straight down the target line. I'd really love to see this implemented into simulation software!

      • Hello,

        Having a great time with the SkyTrak. I am a new user and it sounds like some improvements have been made.

        Here are a few of my thoughts to implement , some of these are mentioned above so I am piling on.

        A) Combine feature is a must with editable feature to run different scenes. User to set up own banks for distances to be saved for later use. Basically a user defined test to track progress for each of the different scenes created.

        B) More visual cues on the range such as gridiron lines, greens, baskets that could be turned off & on & set by the user. Or the ability to drag yardage marker signs to the center line. Never actually tried to see if this is doable.. Hmm. Better Check.

        C) Height apex and Descent Angle.

        D) Every so many shots alignment setting would flash onto mat for a confirmation everything is still square. I place a coin or a small tee in that alignment to have something to aim at most times. If the laser hits that spot again... All set.

        E) If possible a metric that reports how effectively ball speed is being used.. Without Club Data.

        F) Personal bests for carry, total distance, etc.

        • 1. Still a bug with the unit randomly switching to right handed while in use. It's happened on the driving range and in the middle of challenges as we'll. no rhyme or reason it's completely random but happens enough to be extremely annoying, 5 times an hour or so.

          2. I can't believe I cannot go back and look at my past shots in the app and delete and edit without the skytrak hooked up. That seems to be a no brainer, I know there is the website but why not make it available in the app.

          3. Not being able to edit club names on the range is a drawback. I like to compare clubs and 3wood and 3wood 2 just don't do it for me. A few days from now I look back at the stats and I won't have any idea what club was which. If this device is to be used as a fitting or gap testing device there needs to be the ability to edit club names and even a spot to add notes to groups of shots.

          4. Peak height

          5.Dual monitor support. I have a projector I put the driving range on and a monitor off to the side and it would be nice to put the numbers screen on it. I tried just stretching the program window wide enough to cover both the monitor and projector screens to get the numbers on my monitor but it just centers the range in the background behind the number screen so I only see half on the range on the projector.

          An easy fix for this would be to make the option when showing the numbers to either show numbers, the range, or split screen it in the program then it can just be stretched to fit two monitors in split screen.

          While talking about dual monitor support it would also be nice to have a shot history screen I could put on the second monitor.

          • Shot height and landing angle with a nice little side profile of the shot path.

            • Randomly going right handed while using the unit is putting me off so bad I am about to return it. I cannot even complete a 6 shot challenge without it swaping and there is no way to fix it other than start a new challenge. I have resorted to doing 3 shot only and hoping. I have managed to get a few 6 shot done but its at least 50% chance it will mess up during a challenge. On the range it does it about every 20-40 shots not nearly as often. This must be a software issue as I have played 4 rounds and done some practice in e6 and not had it happen yet maybe I was just lucky.

                Never happened to me and I'm a lefty. Maybe your network is triggering something or your just not lucky?

                  I've been here for a long time and would be happy to try to help, ease up with the name calling though

              • 1. Would be nice to have the + / - buttons for setting the distance on the target practice challenge as well as the nearest the pin challenge (mine only has them on nearest the pin).
                2. When viewing the shot history and selecting shots to be displayed in the shot tracking display, if I select more than 13 shots then I cannot scroll down the list on the left hand side to select shots.
                3. Combine feature as per everyone else

                  I know this is an old comment/suggestion - but just got around to reviewing this thread. The point above is key. My set up is slightly offset (room constraints). Would be great to be looking down the line with a simple adjustment like that.

                    Am I missing them I don't see them?

                      My guess is SkyTrak_Seth meant in later version of 2.1.x

                      We actually left it out to meet the Apple deadline before the holidays. It's in v2.2.

                      Nice to see it in 2.2 hopefully you can fix the bug with it switching to right-handed from left-handed on me as well although I guess they would have to acknowledge this is even a bug to begin working on it. The response I got was my unit is at fault. Funny it will do it in the skytrak app within a few shots every time I do a challenge or withing 10-15 shots on the driving range or if I just let it set for 5 minutes to go grab a drink I come back and its back to right handed again, but it has never done it in E6. I have just started using the e6 range and practice areas and never have the issue even after hours of use, this tells me its software based. Hopefully My e6 demo will keep working until a full version of something comes out because at this point I have just wasted the 100$ for the skytrak software upgrade as it is completely unusable for me.

                  • I'm sure skytrak and skypro integration is far from being done or maybe never. BUT if we could get them to enable multitasking for those apps, you could have skytrak on one side and skypro on the other split screen. Right now I run skytrak on my iPad and skypro on my iPhone.

                      Agree on offsets. I have been beating a hole in my impact screen in the same location and am now moving my aimpoint right/left of center in order to lengthen the life of my screen. It would be nice to be able to either be able to hit balls with alignment mode dot on or be able to move the aimpoint on the screen.

                      I know there are much bigger fish to fry for SkyTrak and if they need to put all these requests on the back burner in order to bring out PG/TGC........BY ALL MEANS!

                      • Ok so I have an update on the Switching from left handed to right handed on its own at random issue. This seems to be a PC only issue, this may be why some people report it not being a problem. I used the skytrak with my iphone 6 last night and was able to do multiple challenges of 6 shots each and never once did it switch to right handed on me in the middle. I have also played hours and hours on E6 now and never once has it done it there on pc only in the SKYTRAK PC software has this happened. It happens much more often in challenge mode than on the range and it happens 8 out of 10 challenges I do before I manage to make all six shots. I do not have an ipad to use and the Iphone was borrowed I only have a pc to use this on. This bug pretty much renders the extra 100$ I spent on the software upgrade useless, any way I can get a refund if it isnt even something you are looking at fixing very soon?

                        I reinstalled the PC software to see if that helped and it made no difference. I will try a different PC and see if that does anything, maybe it is a conflict with USB on the pc causing it. I am more than willing to help you figure this out as long as you are willing to work on it, clearly it is a windows software issue I can recreate the issue every time I try and using other software or an Iphone it has never happened once.
