The new software looks great. I already enjoyed the old app. The new app looks like it takes it to the next level.

I need to spend some time this year figuring out how to better use arccos. I love the potential but would prefer minimal need for fiddling with my phone or watch during a round. My first couple of tries end of last year were a bit frustrating. Hopefully the new software makes the usage easier without losing features.
I used it every game last year. Got pretty good with it. Put my iPhone on do not disturb and got pretty quick with it. Replaced my skycaddie SGX.
I am as loyal an Arccos user at they come and think the technology is phenomenal. I've beta tested the update and it's great, but like many of their other updates lately, it will overwhelm the average golfer. I actually silenced notifications on the Team Arccos page because I got tired of the constant bitching - most of it beta stuff that should have never been released to to the general public.
Arccos is at an interesting turning point. Users ask for more and more functionality and Arccos does its best to accommodate. But by doing so, Arccos makes the user experience less simplistic than "find the course, hit play and swing and while that is a benefit to users like me, it just confuses the average golfer.
probably need to have an opt-in option for most of the more advanced stuff. I just got a system and haven't used it for my first round, but will this weekend. cant wait.I am as loyal an Arccos user at they come and think the technology is phenomenal.

This is exactly why I preordered the Link the second it was announced.. With the expectation that it would release early last year.. Then summer, then fall.. And now "by the end of this year". It can't get here soon enough.. Don't like the phone in my front pocket!I did the update on the Galaxy today. Hope to use it sometime soon. Still not keen on the phone in the pocket, especially the larger phones.
I wish it did a better job detecting chips and shots around the green

I'll give this a try. Thanks!I had this issue as well around the greens, but I was able to resolve most of that by taking a full practice swing before I got into my normal routine which helped pair the club with the app.
I don’t think you can even use the system without a putter sensor.Is this system worth it if you don't have Arccos in your whole setup? I have a Cobra 3 wood and Cobra 4-PW with the sensors in them. I ordered the clubs with the sensors because there was no extra charge to me so why not? But I actually haven't used them because I figured you'd need a whole set to make them worth it.

Awesome! I had no idea about that!Just an FYI - if you do end up setting those clubs up and using the app, there is an annual charge ($99 I believe) after a free-trial period. Also, Cobra usually no issues sending you the screw-in sensors for your other clubs/putter if you bought a cobra-connect iron set, they do that so you have a full set of sensors.
Hmmm. I wonder. I know you have to have at least 8 clubs paired to use it, but I don't know if putter is a required one.I don’t think you can even use the system without a putter sensor.
They actually are in the process of doing that - $99 annual subscription after year 1 whether you buy the grips or the screw-in sensors. I do believe the screw-in sensor prices dropped.I love Arccos, but have had some bad times with it... mostly that was from trying to use the watch to read the shots. Went back to phone in pocket for my last few rounds and it has worked like a charm. Reminds me how great the app is. But the struggle to update and make more for those that use it vs keeping it simple for new users is tough. I also think they are getting to a point where they are going to have to go back to charging for more than just the hardware, but that is a discussion for another time.
