The recent heat has dried it out and the water was not absorbed due the the hardness of the ground.

I've gone at the areas with a pick and tried to break up as much as I can - very hard to do.

I've also been spreading around some fine top soil to fill in the holes and hopefully build up some thickness over time.

Has anyone used this product, I make give it a go? 1 bottle should be enough:

I figured for $15 it's worth a try.

I have used Groundbreaker before with good results, although was for planting a tree. Can't see why it wouldn't work for you application.
