Birdia product page (in beta) · reviewed 12 Oct 2026
Birdia (our product) has an Android app, currently in beta: sign up at birdia.app and you get an invite to install it from Google Play. It analyzes your swing with the phone camera, no sensors, computing pose on the phone itself, and explains the cause of each fault with its source. If you don't want to wait, the web app at golf.birdia.app runs in your browser.
What Birdia does for this
Analyzes face-on and down the line, in four modes: full swing, bunker, chip/pitch and putting.
A spoken setup coach before you hit, plus hands-free voice commands ("ready", "wait", switch club).
Trigger recording with a Bluetooth remote or the volume button, so you don't walk back to the phone between shots.
"What is your ball doing?": from your ball-flight miss to its likely causes, each with its drill.
Chat with the coach about each swing, a weekly plan built from your goal, a daily focus in "Today" and a practice calendar.
Birdia doesn't measure it with the camera: it suggests it as a likely cause according to the doctrine
What it looks like
Face-on: the wrist-shaft angle opens as soon as the downswing starts; with the lead arm horizontal, the angle to the shaft already exceeds 120 degrees.
What it does to the ball
No lag: a big loss of distance, a high weak flight, and fat strikes because the low point moves back.
How to fix it
Hold the wrist angle until your hands pass the trail thigh: speed is released at the bottom, not from the top

From the top, swing down slowly until your hands reach the trail thigh, keeping the angle between the lead arm and the shaft; swing back up and repeat twice. On the third pump, hit the ball. The feeling is of holding back, not of force.
The Android app is in beta: expect some bugs, and the invite isn't instant. On some phone models live detection still doesn't recognise the body; we're fixing it using each phone's data. Birdia does not measure clubface or clubhead speed, and it has no on-course GPS or watch app.
The web app runs at golf.birdia.app. The Android and iPhone apps are in beta: sign up and we send you an invite.

The voice speaks English, Spanish or German: whichever language your app is set to.
