Android. The base functioning works well enough. I don't like the phone in my pocket. I don't like the sensors on the clubs. It's hard to remember to check the strokes after every hole. Getting better at adding/adjusting strokes but still not intuitive. Not able to hit practice shots/putts without screwing things up. Some people do great with it but it just takes me out of some of the enjoyment.
I am not super familiar with Arccos, but I know on Garmin you can go into the app online and remove/add shots distances, tell it what clubs for what shots, and so on. I find that Garmin might show several shots off a tee box and you are looking at it asking yourself, how in the world did it come up with all these 3 shots? I am guessing hard practice swings causes that due to the way Garmin gets the data.
I can understand that. However unfortunately the android version is not as good as the iphone. The sensors built into the clubs are so much better in my opinion but some guys don't like those either. I rarely have a missed shot and the only thing I have to adjust is putts. It likes to assume 2 putts on every holeAndroid. The base functioning works well enough. I don't like the phone in my pocket.

Sensors are built into the butt end of the grip. How much smaller would you like it? Plus whenever the Arccos link comes out you won't even have to have your phone in your pocket anymore
I think I do. Not that I am looking for a caddie feature to tell me what club to hit from a given distance. But, just so I have a better understanding of my strengths and weaknesses. I have taken stats in the past only to sit on the data and do nothing with it. Never tabulated it and tracked trends. I like the concept of having something do that for me. So, the data is there when I want to look into it.
I have countless score cards that I threw away that had basic stats on it. Fairways hit, GiR, putts, etc. I looked at it after the round. Maybe threw it in the bag with the plan of adding it to a spreadsheet that never materialized and eventually ended up at the bottom of my trash can. I already know I don't have enough focus to follow through on keeping track of it myself, lol.
Haha thats me I tried it once on a scorecard and I quit halfway through the round. I don't care enough during a round to keep track of that stuff, I like that this does it for me. I'm still in the camp that hates I can't play music while using it though that annoys the **** out of me.
Since I have to tell my watch what club I hit, if it is more of a chip out/recovery, or a total duff, I just dont tell it what club was used. It still tracks the shot, but it doesnt associate it with a specific club, which avoids skewing the data. Also good when I chip with an iron around the green.
Never even thought of that. The phone aspect is what has kept me from Arccos. I hate having my phone in my pocket. For someone who likes to use their phone for other stuff like playing music, that would be an even bigger pain.
