How can we help?

Contact us

Email rangerallygolf@gmail.com with your question, a bug report or an idea for the app. Range Rally is made by an independent developer, Gregory Dolder, and every message is read personally.

To help us fix a problem quickly, please include:

• Your device (for example iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone Duo or Apple Watch Series 11) and its iOS or watchOS version.
• Your Range Rally version. You can find it in Settings › About Range Rally.
• What you did, what you expected and what happened instead. A screenshot helps.

You can also write to us from the app: Settings › Help & Support › Contact Support. To report a problem with an AI coach’s answer, use Report an Issue in the coaching chat.

Getting started

Range Rally has five tabs: Practice, Rounds, Analytics, Bags and Settings. You don’t need an account. Open the app, set up your bag and start hitting.

Set up your bag

1. Open the Bags tab and add a bag.
2. Add your clubs. For each one, choose its type, name it, and enter its loft (optional) and your average distance in yards.
3. If you have more than one bag, choose which is active. New sessions and rounds use the active bag.

Want averages from your real shots instead of the numbers you typed? Turn on Settings › Use Calculated Averages. Each club then uses the average of its last 100 logged shots.

Log a practice session

1. On the Practice tab, tap Start Practice Session and choose your bag.
2. Pick a club. Its average distance fills in; change the yards to what you actually hit.
3. Choose the shot shape: Left, Draw, Straight, Fade or Right. Then tap Log Shot.
4. When you’re done, tap End Session. The session appears in your history and on your practice calendar.

Range Rally doesn’t measure your shots. You log the distance you see, from range markers, a launch monitor or your own read.

Play Target Practice

1. On the Practice tab, tap Target Practice Mini-Game.
2. Range Rally shows a random target between 50 and 250 yards. Hit a shot and log the distance.
3. You score 100 points for landing within 5 yards, 50 within 6–15 yards, 20 within 16–30 yards and 0 beyond that. Ten shots make a game, so a perfect game is 1,000.
4. When the game ends, it’s saved automatically. Tap Share Score to share a card of your game.

Play a virtual round

1. On the Rounds tab, tap Start Virtual Round.
2. Choose a course and which holes to play: 18 holes, the front 9, the back 9 or a custom set. Courses with a lock need Range Rally Premium.
3. For each shot, pick the club and enter the yards you hit. Range Rally subtracts it from the distance left to the hole.
4. Within 30 yards of the hole, tap Complete Hole and enter your putts.
5. After the last hole, the round is saved with its scorecard. You can also tap End to finish early.

Courses live inside the Rounds tab: switch between Rounds and Courses at the top of the screen to browse them.

iPhone Duo

Range Rally 1.1 and later is designed for iPhone Duo. You don’t need to change any settings.

• Unfolded, an active practice session, round or Target Practice game shows your stats on the left page and shot entry on the right. Courses, bags and your session and round history show the list on one page and the details on the other.
• Folded, the whole app runs on the outer display, with the tab bar down the side.
• Fold or unfold at any time. The club you picked, the yards you typed and any sheet you have open stay as they were.

If you see the older single-page layout, update Range Rally from the App Store. More on the iPhone Duo page.

Apple Watch

The Range Rally Apple Watch app works together with the iPhone app and needs watchOS 10 or later.

First run

Open Range Rally on your iPhone at least once with your watch nearby so your bags can sync. Until they do, the watch shows Sync Required.

Practice from your wrist

1. Open Range Rally on your watch and start a session. It uses your active bag.
2. Log each shot with a few taps, or use voice: raise your wrist and say something like “7 iron 150 yards straight”.
3. Voice also understands “undo”, “same” to repeat the last shot, and “switch to” a club.

Shots you log without a connection to your iPhone are kept on the watch and sync when it reconnects.

Rounds on the watch

Start a round on your iPhone first. You can then continue it on your watch, logging shots and entering putts. Target Practice is available on iPhone and iPad only.

Watch settings

The watch app has its own settings for Record Workouts, Show Heart Rate and Haptic Feedback.

Apple Health

Range Rally can save practice sessions and rounds to the Health app as golf workouts, with heart rate and active calories. This is optional and free.

• Turn on Record as Workout when you start a session or round. To make it the default, use Settings › Record Workouts by Default.
• Heart rate needs an Apple Watch.
• To change what Range Rally can read or write, open the Health app, tap your profile picture, then Apps › Range Rally. You can also go to Settings › Privacy & Security › Health › Range Rally in iOS.

Viewing heart rate and calories on your session and round details, and the Health analytics, are part of Range Rally Premium.

iCloud sync

Range Rally keeps your bags, sessions, rounds, courses, Target Practice games, achievements and coaching chats in sync across your iPhone and iPad using your private iCloud database. We can’t see this data.

• Sign in to iCloud with the same Apple Account on each device.
• You can check the status in Settings › iCloud Sync in Range Rally.
• Changes usually appear within a few minutes. Opening the app on both devices helps.
• To turn sync off, go to iOS Settings, tap your name, then iCloud, and turn off Range Rally under the apps that use iCloud.
• The Apple Watch app syncs through your iPhone rather than iCloud.

AI coaching

Range Rally’s coaches, Chip Mulligan, Nik Parski and Dr. Blacktees, run on your iPhone using Apple Intelligence. Your shots and questions aren’t sent to an outside AI service.

• Coaching needs an iPhone 15 Pro or newer with Apple Intelligence turned on in iOS Settings.
• If you see AI Coach is downloading, iOS is still preparing Apple Intelligence. Keep your iPhone on Wi‑Fi and power and try again later.
• The first time you chat, Range Rally shows the AI Coach Terms of Use. Tap I Understand to continue.
• AI answers can be wrong. Treat them as practice ideas, not professional instruction, and use Report an Issue in the chat if something looks off.

Without Premium you get one free coach insight in each area (session analysis, round analysis, session and round comparisons, and analytics). Premium unlocks coaching for every session and round, plus chat.

Premium and purchases

Range Rally Premium is a one-time in-app purchase ($4.99 in the US; prices vary by country). It isn’t a subscription. See what Premium includes.

Restore Premium on a new or reset device

1. Sign in to the App Store with the Apple Account you used to buy Premium.
2. In Range Rally, open Settings and find the Premium card.
3. Tap Restore Purchase.

Refunds and billing

Apple handles all payments, so we can’t see or change your billing. To request a refund or report a problem with a purchase, visit reportaproblem.apple.com.

Your data

Your Range Rally data lives on your devices and in your private iCloud database. We don’t run servers that store it, so there’s nothing held by us to request or delete. You’re in control from the app.

Export a copy

Go to Settings › Data Management › Export Data. Choose what to include (practice sessions, virtual rounds, clubs, courses and health metrics) and a format, CSV or JSON, then share the file or save it to Files. Export and import are part of Premium.

Import from a backup

Go to Settings › Data Management › Import Data and pick a file you exported earlier. Choose Merge, Replace or Add Only.

Delete everything

Go to Settings › Data Management › Reset App Data and confirm. This permanently deletes your Range Rally data and can’t be undone. Workouts already saved to Apple Health stay in Health, where you can delete them yourself. To also remove the copy kept in your iCloud, open iOS Settings, tap your name, then iCloud › Manage Account Storage, and delete Range Rally’s data if it’s listed.
