Set it on a tripod
Stand your iPhone or iPad on a tripod, facing you, with your whole swing in the frame.
For iPhone and iPad
Swing, look up — there it is.
Set your iPhone or iPad on a tripod facing you and swing. When you look up, your swing is already playing on the screen, a few seconds later. No buttons to press between shots.
Three steps
Stand your iPhone or iPad on a tripod, facing you, with your whole swing in the frame.
Hit a ball or make a practice swing, just as you normally would. There is nothing to tap first.
A few seconds later, your swing plays on the screen at normal speed. Then tee up the next ball.
Choose any delay from 2 to 20 seconds — match it to the time it takes you to swing, look up and find the screen. It starts at 6.

Delayed playback
Golf Swing Partner keeps playing what the camera saw a few seconds ago, at normal speed, for as long as you practise. Switch to Live to check your setup, then back to Delay to hit balls.
Camera and quality
Film with the front camera, so the screen faces you, or with the main camera on the back. Resolution and frame rate go all the way up to what your device supports.
Recording
Tap the record button to start and tap it again to stop. The video is saved to the Photos app, so you can watch it again any time. Recording is part of Pro.
Two-device mode
Put one device on the tripod as the Camera and watch on the other as the Monitor — for example, an iPhone filming and an iPad showing your swing on a bigger screen. Two iPhones or two iPads work just as well.
The Camera sends what it films; the Monitor plays it back with the delay you choose.
The two devices connect directly to each other. No Wi-Fi network or router is needed — just turn on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
The video goes straight from one of your devices to the other, encrypted. Nothing is sent over the internet.
Enter a 4-digit code the first time. After that, the two devices reconnect automatically.
Change the Camera's settings and zoom from the Monitor, without walking back to the tripod.
The two-device link is free for up to 5 minutes. Pro removes the limit — and if either device has it, the link is unlimited.
New in version 3.0 · Swing Replay (Pro)
Swing Replay finds each swing on its own and keeps the last three as thumbnails. Tap one, and it plays from address to finish on a loop.
New in version 2.0
With two devices, the Monitor also films you with its own front camera and plays it beside the Camera's view, both delayed to the same moment. One swing, seen from the front and from behind at once.
Flip the picture left to right with the button at the top right. Your choice is remembered for each camera.
With one device, use Screen Mirroring to an Apple TV or AirPlay TV: the TV shows just the delayed video, full size, and the controls stay on your device.
On devices with an ultra wide back camera, pinch the Main camera out to 0.5× and fit your whole swing in, even in a narrow bay.
When the device gets hot, the app lowers the frame rate and tells you, so the delayed video keeps running. It goes back once the device cools down.
The first time you open the app, a guide shows where to put the device with one device or two. It's always at the bottom of Settings.
If the two devices don't find each other, Connect Two Devices lists what to check, with any problem the app finds at the top. Once connected, it shows the connection quality.
Privacy
There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to sign in to.
No analytics and no advertising software. The developer collects no data at all.
Video is processed on the device and kept only briefly in memory for the delay. Swing Replay keeps your last three swings as temporary files in the app. Video goes to your Photos library only when you record or tap Save.
We run no servers for the app. The two-device link goes directly between your two devices, encrypted.

What’s new
New: Swing Replay (Pro). Your swings are detected automatically, and the last three appear as thumbnails on the right. Tap one to replay it on a loop, from address through the finish, slowed from 1× down to 1/32 or stepped frame by frame, with impact marked. With two devices, watch face-on and down-the-line side by side at the same moment. Tap Save to keep one in Photos.
