Release Notes
Version 1.4
- Ready for iPhone Duo. When it is unfolded, the meter and the controls sit on either side of the fold, so nothing is split across it.
- New Auto theme that follows your device’s Light or Dark setting. Choose it in Settings > Appearance.
Version 1.3
- Start and stop practice with Siri, Shortcuts or the Action button, and name a club too: "Start Golf Rhythm with Driver". On iOS 18 or later you can also add a button to Control Center and the Lock Screen.
- New light theme, easy to read in bright sunlight. Switch it in Settings > Appearance.
- The TAIKO count sound has been remade to sound like a real Japanese drum, louder and clearer.
Version 1.2
Five new count sounds: Piano (do-mi-so), Retro (game-style blips), Clap, Taiko (Japanese drum) and Water (drops). In each one the third count, the transition, stands out the most. Tap SOUND to switch. Twelve count sounds in total.
Version 1.1.2
New App Store screenshots. The app itself works exactly as before.
Version 1.1.1
- The default address marker for APPROACH now sits a little farther back in the stance.
Version 1.1
Set your own impact point
The address marker (where the light strikes) now starts from the usual ball position for each club: off the lead heel for the driver, centre for short irons, slightly back for chips. Drag the meter to move it to where your impact really is, club by club. Pro remembers the position for each club; RESET TO STANDARD puts it back.
Pendulum finish for approach, bunker and putter
On clubs you don't swing fully, the light now decelerates after impact and stops at a finish as wide as the backswing before returning. Full swings still fly through and off the bar.
New count sound: cha-shu-men
A three-syllable voice count: cha (address), shu (takeaway), men (transition). Seven count sounds in total.
Now in Spanish, French and Korean
The settings, purchase and About screens are available in Spanish (Mexico), French and Korean, in addition to English and Japanese. The practice screen stays in English.
Also
- Fixed: on iPhone SE in landscape the START button could be pushed off screen.
- Verified on iOS 27. iOS 17 or later is still supported.
Version 1.0
The first release of Golf Rhythm Coach.
- Tempo from a light and three counts. The light travels along the bar to the three counts: address, takeaway, transition. Impact is the moment it crosses the address marker.
- A tempo for every club. Nine presets from driver to putter, with men's and women's standards. 3:1 timing for full swings, 2:1 for the short game and putting. Approach and bunker shots offer five short-game paces. Fine-tune any tempo in 0.1 BPM steps.
- See it, hear it, feel it. Six count sounds: click, soft, bell, wood, dog, engine. Haptics on every count (iPhone). Keeps counting while the screen is locked or another app is in front, with lock-screen controls.
- Practice stand mode. A full-screen meter with a large tempo readout, maximum brightness and auto-lock off, so you can set the device down and read it from address.
- iPhone and iPad. On iPad in landscape you can choose a two-pane layout with the club list in a side panel. English and Japanese.
- Practise for free, pay once to remember. Every club, every sound, the meter, haptics and background playback are free. Pro (one-time purchase) saves the tempo you tuned for each club, restores your settings on launch, and unlocks the FINISH beats stepper. No ads, no account, no network.
