Very reliable and easy to use, 5 Stars!

This app is not like the other Vert testing apps, this is much much simpler to use, includes other great simple features (such as dunk calculator and more), AND you can always trust as it uses literal scientific laws of physics to calculate your vertical jump by you uploading a video of yourself jumping, to the 0.01.

Worst use of $2.99

This app is just terrible. There is no scrubbing function at all so it’s near impossible to set accurate take off and landing time stamps. The video player is extremely glitchy and there is no way of zooming in or out of a video get your feet into frame. There are many unsatisfactory vertical jump measuring tools out there but this is by far the worst. You’d be better off spending your $2.99 on a pack of gum or maybe 1/2 of a McDonald’s happy meal.

Worst waste of money

Extremely unacurate

Review

Can’t see the feet. Full screen mode just isn’t it. There’s definitely better ways to measure vertical jump then paying for this and getting nowhere. I measure it with a tape and I had 26 inch vert. App says I have 22. Huge difference and I know the app is wrong it just doesn’t do the job for me.

Good App But Needs Work

This is a solid, quick and dirty tool to roughly measure vertical jump. I find that when it works (though I am not comparing to a measurement with actual equipment), the results seem accurate and just about what I’d expect.

The issue for me is in the video playback, where you tell the app when you takeoff and land, it stutter constantly. The goal is to pinpoint using a high framerate, slow motion video when your feet leave the ground and land again, but this is sometimes impossible when the playback stutters past these two points. I’ll be skipping through a video frame by frame to snag that exact moment the feet leave the ground and sometimes the video will skip several frames for no apparent reason, making that video useless. This appears to be an issue with the app, as the video is in 240FPS and shows no stutter during playback on iPhone.

Any fix or rationale for this bug would be greatly appreciated. Other than this issue, the app is very good for what it is, but rendering videos useless due to stuttering frames is a pretty fundamental problem.

Buggy

I followed the directions exactly but the video for some reason wouldn’t work properly inside the app. I double checked to make sure the original video was right and shot with the correct frame rate and it was, but when inside the app the video seemed to jump from slow motion to normal frame rate, causing the app to miss my takeoff. I wish I hadn’t paid $1.99.

It’s decent but could be better

It’s a decent app however when you have a portrait video you often can’t even see your feet to place when they leave the ground which makes it unusable. I wish the video player would extend because when you put it in landscape mode it doesn’t take into account the scale of the video and only gives you the middle portion of the video

Good app

Dope app. Does what it says and seems very accurate
