## Description

Turn your iPhone or iPad into a portable radar gun with +/- 0.5 MPH accuracy. Load videos from Camera Roll, capture the release point and plate crossing, and compute pitch speed from time and distance. Frame-by-frame video analysis helps players of all ages evaluate pitching mechanics.

This app does not rely on reflex timing. It uses high-speed video (ideally 240 FPS slo-mo) to deliver repeatable pitch speed measurements. It supports multiple mound distances (60'6", 54', 50', 48', 46', 44', 38') and is optimized for iPhone and iPad. Licensed under US Patent 8,803,913.

## Review summary

Overall, users commend the app for being accurate, easy to use, and a cost-effective, frame-by-frame video solution that can rival pricey radar guns. Repeated concerns center on not accounting for release point/distance, missing custom pitching distances, and lack of video export features. A few reviews report issues or feeling the app is not worth the price. The app shows strong coaching value but needs improved distance handling and export options.

### Pros

- Accurate readings using math from frame-by-frame video analysis, comparable to expensive radar guns.
- Easy to use with a clean, well-thought-out design.
- Frame-by-frame capability helps pinpoint release point and when the ball crosses the plate.
- Cost-effective alternative to expensive radar guns; works from smartphone video.
- Strong customer support with quick responses from the developer.

### Cons

- Does not adequately account for release point and pitching distance, causing speeds to be over- or under-estimated.
- Lack of manual/mound distance options; missing custom pitching distances (e.g., 43 ft, 40 ft, 35 ft) for different leagues.
- Missing export/save features for video and metadata (exporting video with speed graphic; saving video).
- Some users report the app doesn’t work or is not worth the price.
