## Description

Radar Gun lets you see how fast your pitcher is throwing by tapping at the moment of release. Press the screen when the ball is thrown and release when it is caught. This single-tap method is easier and often more accurate than pressing a button twice, and it positions Radar Gun as a leading pitch speed tracker in the store.

Distance presets include Baseball - 60'6", Little League - 46', Softball - 43', and a Custom distance option. The speed shown is an average based on distance and time, with accuracy depending on your reaction time when pressing and releasing.

## Review summary

Mixed reviews: many call it a waste of money and unreliable, while a few say it can work if you understand its method. The app does not read the ball like a real radar gun; it calculates speed from a distance you enter and the release timing, so accuracy relies on user timing and reflexes. Some complain about advertised features not being available. Overall, performance appears inconsistent and learning-curve dependent, with usable results when used correctly.

### Pros

- Provides speed readings when used as intended, not as a traditional radar gun.
- Explains its method: speed is calculated from a distance you enter and the release timing, not by tracking the ball.
- Can work if you have fast reflexes and precise timing.

### Cons

- Not a real radar gun; readings depend on user timing rather than the actual ball speed.
- Frequently inconsistent or inaccurate across users.
- Advertised features like custom distances may not be supported.
- Requires holding and releasing to measure speed, demanding precise timing and can be confusing.
- Many reviewers consider it a waste of money.
