Ace Trace - Shot Tracer Reviews

Pretty darn good. Please work out how to better zoom and pan in manual mode to set points. Very clumsy in present version trying to track a long ball path. Need ability to pinch/zoom/pan at every ball flight location to smoothly show the ball path.

Also, definitely better flight curve holding the video steady in one shot without any camera movement. However, app description implies originally video can have motion (pan/zoom) snd still capture ball path. Doesn’t seem that way though because I’m struggling to not have weird and eratic flight paths when using footage that originally has pan/zoom.

I was using AceTrace for about a day before the latest update released. I get how with disc golf it’s probably really easy to tag a couple spots without the “+” and get a good trace. I was trying this out for golf (didn’t realize until after that it wasn’t it’s intent) and it was working pretty well, but the removal of the “+” made finding the ball really hard and frustrating.
I honestly think this could be a great multi purpose app for Golf Shot Tracing as well. There aren’t any with good reviews and I bet you would get a lot of traction there.
The “video bundle” section is confusing and makes me not want to pay right away, $1 per video is crazy for the lower tier. But the subscription (gold) model makes a ton of sense, I would just have that or make it the default when you go to pay.

I’ve had AceTrace a couple of years now and overall it’s worked well for me… until recently. I thought the problem might have been my older phone but I got it upgraded to the newest model and AceTrace has the same problems for me. The automatic disc tracker hasn’t ever worked for me which is fine because I don’t mind doing it manually. What I do mind is how often AceTrace crashes while I’m using it and how some videos simply will not render after over 20 minutes of loading for a 14 second video. If all of AceTrace worked smoothly and the features were a bit better fine tuned and AceTrace stopped crashing every 2 minutes I’d happily buy the yearly subscription again but the value simply isn’t there for the new price point considering how AceTrace has been consistently buggy for me.

Love the concept of AceTrace. Trying to learn how to do this with other software would’ve been a nightmare and AceTrace is very easy to use. Being the stickler I am, I record my videos in 60fps and after exporting the video I traced with AceTrace I found the video to have exported in less than 60fps, presumably 30. Hopefully this is an easy addition to implement, as this is the only thing I believe that is holding AceTrace from having nothing but 5 star reviews. Even with 30fps export I will gladly subscribe to AceTrace ’s premium plan. Big thank you to the creators :)

AceTrace is great. I like the way it works; it does exactly what it is supposed to do. I would pay upwards of $10-$20 up front for AceTrace , but instead it is subscription-based which may end up preventing the devs from getting any $ from me. They explain on their site their reasons for being subscription-based, but it doesn’t sway me to set up a recurring subscription service.

I use it nonstop whenever I make videos of me playing. There should be a setting where you can “erase” the line so you can show when the disc goes behind a tree. Sometimes AceTrace heats up my phone when I start making a ton of videos. Sometimes it will also crash if it making a bunch one after another. It also thinks that I’m tracing a golf ball and yes I’m selecting the correct trace for disc golf, it still just thinks it’s a golf ball. Could use some improvement on that but outside of that it’s the ideal app. Still a fire app.

I had canceled my subscription a while back and I guess they raised the prices since then. I recall paying maybe $15 for a year. Now I created a video and in order to save it I had to get a subscription. I thought oh $3/month isn’t bad and bought it not realizing it was charged annually. So that was annoying but whatever my bad for not reading it. But now I can’t even use the same effects that worked on the first video on subsequent ones because I got the silver package. Well why did the first video work? Pretty slimy and I would like my money back. Wouldn’t mind paying for gold if charged monthly so make that an option and stop trying to trick people

If you are in the market of posting your disc golf throws on social media, do not do so without AceTrace! Any throw can be traced within seconds to make your content look incredible, with ease! And with the implementation of auto-tracking, it’s become even easier! Quit making your audience guess where a disc goes or zoom into your post to see the result. AceTrace is the absolute best and a complete no-brainer for any disc golfer or the like on social media!

Absolute worth the money if you’re sharing disc golf content.

With any app, I’ve run into a few bugs but the folks at Ace trace stand out. Any time I’ve submitted a bug report I get a timely response from an actual person and they work it out as quickly as they can. Beyond that, the user interface is about as easy as it could be.

Usually these apps will either come with some in app, purchases or anything like that but if you just get AceTrace itself now additional things, it does exactly what it says it’s going to do it’s easy to use and I think for anybody who’s going to be in a put together their own real or just look at some stuff for fieldwork this is perfect

Honestly, this is such a great app and worth the subscription once you start using it to share videos! Just started using it and it’s so easy to understand how to use and just adds another level of detail to your social posts or anything else. So far haven’t found any flaws or improvements, I would suggest but I’ll update if I do!

It’s a sweet app and it’s so fun to make your own “follow flights”. My only complaint is the rendering ability some flight are simply longer than others and so longish videos over 15 seconds have some rendering time issues but over all AceTrace sweet. Can’t wait to see it improve with updates!

I use this to track disc golf disks.

It is extremely difficult to correct or undo mistakes without starting all over again.
Many times the tracking will overextend where it is marked.

What should just take a few minutes takes about 15 to 20 minutes because I have to start over and over again. Very frustrating app to use.

iPhone screen is simply too small to be able to edit and track a disk well. The resolution is also not very good so that picture is not clear at all.

I wish this were available for Mac OS with a larger screen and a mouse or trackpad It would be much easier.

The auto track feature has never worked at all.

Be sure and keep your video segments very short or AceTrace will actually cut your video short.

AceTrace is amazing. I want to make videos to see how my discs fly when I test new ones but don’t want to pay for expensive software! This does exactly that! Super easy to use and at a fraction of the cost, I would say it’s better than the higher end versions!

It takes a second to get used to manipulating the tracer, but once you get the hang of it you can make a nice line for you flight and plot as many points as you need to get the shape right. You can even get a sense of your swing path for disc golf with the right clip. Worthy

App is very easy to use and does exactly what you want. Looks cool!

However, As others have said I was ready to pay $10 or so for it, but it’s only available for a subscription which is crazy expensive ($40 a year are you insane?) for something that has one single function.

Will keep an eye on it to see if it changes but for now Ill take my one free one.

This is such a luxury to have, to be able to use AceTrace and trace my throws and change the color and to add the distance as well. It all adds up to make some really cool looking videos!!! Highly recommend to anyone who plays disc golf, and wants to improve their game as well!

If the conditions are perfect and you have your camera at the right angle with the ball captured by the camera the way AceTrace wants, it works great. Pretty tough to use for drives as the camera loses track of the ball, but it works well for Par 3 holes.

I don’t understand why this happens but the preview tracking line speed is perfect but after saving the video and going to watch it the tracking line starts to speed up when it’s coming back down. Looks unrealistic when it’s tracking it coming back down to the ground.

You get roped in with the free download but it’s a tease you can’t use AceTrace unless you purchase for ….40$!!!…. it seems to work well you better not fail me or I will make it my mission to get AceTrace to zero stars
