iPing app not working with iPhone 5

jhoffman27 · September 28, 2012

Is anyone else having issues with the iPing putting app on the iPhone 5? I'm having a bunch of trouble getting the putts to register in the software. It'll register and measure 3-4 putts then it won't measure/register the next 3-4 and then it'll start picking up the putting strikes again. The app was working fine on my iPhone 4 before I upgraded this week. Anyone else have this experience? Anyone know how to fix it?

Iphone 6 will be out next week and will be compatible.

is there a new ping cradle?

Like most apps, I would think you need to wait for an update that is iPhone 5 / iOS 6 compatible. Over the past week I have had a lot of app updates just for that purpose. You might want to call Ping Customer Support to see if they have an estimate when an update will be available.

Haven't had too many problems with it, but then again I didn't have an iPhone 4/4s to use it on to compare to either. The 5 fits fine in the cradle, just a bit taller but width and depth appear to be the same. I would say about 7 out of every 10 putts register, which isn't perfect but not too much of a bother either.

Recently upgraded to an iPhone 5 from a HTC.
Do you need the cradle for the app to work properly?

[/quote]Yes, you need to cradle to hold the IPhone to the putter shaft. Not sure if there is a cradle for Iphone 5. Is it the same size as the 4?

[/quote] my putts do not register either. My SeeMore putter has an insert. Can't that dampen the effect of the stroke?

I have an iPhone 5c and my I ping works perfect. I'd say it picks up 95% Of my strokes.

My buddy bought the cradle for his iPhone and he has the 5C, we were having a tough time of getting it in the cradle designed for the iPhone 5. Which cradle are you using? The one designed for the 5 or the one designed for the 4?
