PickyHave a tough time using this outdoors if there's any type of breeze blowing. The app tells me that there's too much motion going on so won't take a reading. If the phone is moving at all then you will not be able to get a reading. So it's not that often that I can go out on the field and bot have some type of breeze that will disrupt the phone. It's very hard to read the screen on the iPhone after a ball goes by. The brightness of the readout numbers between the background is not very good. The best thing to do is link between two smart phones so you can have the reading in your hand as seen the ads instead of trying to read the one that's on the ground..Version: 1.5

Don't buy the upgradeDownloaded thinking I could clock my sons pitch speed in game. Found out I had to purchase an upgrade to unlock speeds over 40. Purchased the upgrade. Next, I find out the camera has to be set up 20ft in front and 20ft to the side in order to work! This should be clearly stated before the upgrade not after!!! Don't spend the money unless u wanna just check bullpen!.Version: 1.8

Radar wont work after updateI am using an IPad 2. Before updating the app, i was able to test the speed of my cricket ball. After updating, a menu pops up saying that my device isn't compatible for using the radar. I paid $18 to use the cricket and tennis radar and now it doesn't work..Version: 1.1

Unlock higher speedsI upgraded the free version via an in-app purchase of £11.99 thinking it would unlock more sports and higher speeds... it doesn’t... it just unlocks more sports... it is another £11.99 for speeds higher than 40mph... this wasn’t clear... how do I go about getting a refund so I can purchase the full version at £13.99?.Version: 1.8

Glitch caused me to lose $12This app glitched when I was exploring the settings so I tried to double click the home button to reset the app, but when doing so it read my fingerprint and used it for a $12 in app purchase. I do not even know what I bought and I am not happy that poor design lead me to lose $12 to this app I was planning on deleting..Version: 2.1

Doesn't workCan't rate it. plain and simple, doesn't work at all. don't bother purchasing full version which is super expensive..Version: 1.8

It Needs hockeyI would 100% buy the full version if hockey was included,.Version: 1.3

Crapy AppI got this app worked fine 2 years ago but now i can gamelink is not working on my Ipad .. the voice “get ready you can start and speed readings not working either”” I sent a ton of emails to support they never respond.. Gonna get my money back .. if you are serious developing and commercializing and app .. be serious with your support not even a reply of the reviews from support to customers...Version: 2.2

Are U kidding?Where is the App? This is just an ad. For that reason alone I will never try it. FAKE.Version: 1.0

Great in perfect settingsOk so this app would probably be great in a perfect setting not good for in game radaring you need to be in a well lit area so practice at night it works but maybe at 50% and i think the timing is a little off Heres an example my son who is 12 probably can throw a baseball around 45-50 mph the radar gun would slip about 40% of the time and say he just through 93mph or 110mph lol there is no way he can throw that hard and its constantly freezing i feel like i wasted 15$ on this for nothing.Version: 1.6

App doesn’t work for most thingsYou’ll waste your free uses when you’re not meaning to clock something. When you mean to clock something, it won’t work. Terrible app..Version: 2.2

Idea is great but...I suspect the actual maximum detectable speed on a 5s is about 70 mph. I placed it exactly in the best recommended spot with no movement in the background and it only detected 4 slow second serves between 65-69mph. It didn't pick up any of the many faster serves and even some slower experimental serves. I would say detection rate is about 10% and I have no way to test accuracy as I have no reference radar to compare to but it seems strange all detected balls were within 5mph range. I'll have to play with it some more try placing the phone higher maybe and closer or farther from the trajectory of the ball but for now I can only give it 2 stars in the hopes that it will develop into something useful..Version: 1.0

RubbishI downloaded this hoping to improve my cricket but then I found out You have to pay £5 to download a speed rador.Version: 1.0

Not happyWhy didn’t you get back to me whenI told you that I couldn’t download your product? I’m still waiting to hear back from you. Kind of ruined my tennis tournament..Version: 2.2

It’s doing somethingAfter using it for tennis 3x now I found out that if you serve closer to the middle the speeds are slower and not by a little. I’m doing pretty much the same serve and it goes from 60’s to 130’s when I’m close to the sideline. No where in the instructions does it mention this. So there is no real way to get an accurate read unless you have a radar gun and and try to sync up the speed and remember your serve location and camera placement. Even though it would be nice to have 136mph serve. Thanks for the ego boost mr. not so accurate app!.Version: 2.2

86milesI am faster than ronaldo suiiiiiii 86 miles/hour and I’m 15.Version: 2.2

Never been accurate on multiple phone generationsI’ve had this app since IPhone 6. I’m now up to an IPhone 11. Same inaccuracy. My sun throws baseball about 70. He is 16. It registered today at 46mph with meticulous measurement for where to place the car hone..Version: 2.2

Jon GillNot nearly as good as it promised. The ad showed side by side results of the app working perfectly but it didn’t read it the same for me..Version: 2.1

Just didn’t work at allNot much to say. Followed the instructions. Inconsistent readings. I’m sure some may have had better luck. I won’t I don’t recommend. I just won’t use this app..Version: 2.2

Very poor appThis app continually shuts down after counting down to start. I have the latest iPhone with more than enough power to complete the task asked of it. Great idea but has never worked. A real shame!!!.Version: 2.2

TerribleI throw it and it crashed every single time.Version: 2.2

ActuallyIT IS a giant ad!.Version: 1.8

TerribleI tried to see how hard I could hit a foot (soccer) ball but the only speed I got was 180 mph on my weak foot It's not accurate 👎.Version: 1.8

No way this is accurateI tried this with my tennis serve. I was pounding serves and the app said the speeds were between 45 and 65 MPH. There is no way..Version: 2.2

Doesn’t work for hockeyIt doesn’t even see the puck, except for when it rolls back out of the net at 18 mph. Have to purchase pro for high speeds. Free version only goes to 40 mph. Complete waste of my time. Thanks a lot..Version: 2.2

Is a bad appThis app is very misleading.Version: 2.2

Crashes when is says the speed.Crashes every time it says a speed for baseball. I have tried it at multiple baseball fields and it still crashes. I have reset my phone, deleted the app and reinstalled. Nothing works. Also I tried emailing them and got no response. Very disappointing and a waste of $12..Version: 2.2

Do not by this app👎🏻I’m 9 and it said I threw a wiffle ball 154 mph.Version: 2.2

App has bugWhen clicking “choose the sport to purchase” nothing happens when clicking on the soccer ball. I imagine is a GUI bug. If the GUI does not work properly I wonder what else does not work. Sorry I’m kind of hard on my review, but I wasted a good half an hour playing with it and as the saying goes “ time is money”.Version: 2.2

Waste of MoneyCouldn't get this thing to work AT ALL. Paid $8 for baseball, nothing. No matter where I placed my phone, no matter how it positioned, never got one single reading -- always an error about too much motion. Funny that there is a video on the company's website that shows the primary camera being used, yet the app only uses the front camera. And there is ZERO visibility to where you are pointing the phone because there is no picture displayed back, only the black screen ready to display speed - yet but the blinking red dot saying "too much motion" I can't believe the total lack of anything useful. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS MESS..Version: 1.4

TrashThis App DooooDoooo.Version: 2.1

Seriously?This app asked me a zillion questions, made me watch an online video telling me how I tie into a bunch of devices I don’t use, and I still can’t find how to get the radar gun to work. The only feature not on hyperdrive with info was the email for help which appears to be down. Waste of time..Version: 2.2

Why advertiseI downloaded the app twice, but was never able to purchase any shots. If it doesn’t work, why advertise it?.Version: 2.2

No Km/h settingAre you willing to go global? Where is the Km/h or even m/sec setting? Not interested by MPH....Version: 1.0

Mine worked at first then...Mine worked at first it was pretty accurate but once I bought something everything started glitching out, either I want my money back or fix it.Version: 2.2

Bad appHorrible app doesn't go to 64 km if you pay to upgrade it does not work.Version: 1.8
