I downloaded the free version to give it a try. The max my daughter hit was 35. She has been clocked at 43-48 with a radar gun. Now I know that they say the max for the free is 40 mph. My expecations was to see the app do whatever it does when the speed is ABOVE the max(aka say "over Max", "Be blank" or just read the max number "40"). I got a few questions into their support to see why the free was only hitting 35 when my daughter has hit 45 mph. It could be explained, so I am not going to give this a bad review, but wont give it a great reveiw until I hear back from them .
It definately does detect the ball speed. Her change up was slower than her fast ball. I threw some slow ones and it read 22mph. I just dont know how accurate it is. It could be a good tool just to say "You are faster than that person" or "Your change up is X mph slower than your fast ball".
SO 3 stars it is. Until I hear back from them.
UPDATE:
I heard back from the company, within a few hours. If you dont send a friend request/email, the max speed for free app is 35. It goes up to 40 after friend request. When the speed is higher, it says "Greater than 40", but displays 40.
It is enough to for me to buy the full version.
