12 yr olds love it

Started using this app with the team of 11-12 year olds that I coach and they are loving it!

Response from developer

We're happy to hear that your team is loving the app! Keep swinging!

Eats you battery

I enjoyed this very much but i have a few drawbacks first can you make it so where its is less laggy and it does not eat you battery as much because you can hardly use it with out a charger

Response from developer

Hi! We're so glad to hear you are enjoying the app! We appreciate your feedback. If you open a ticket with our Customer Care team, we'd be happy to look into any issues you are facing with lag time!

Wish you make it ALSO for serious players

As a coach, I really saw the potential for your product and I respect that you are making a bunch of games for beginner younger players so they swing the bat having fun.
But any player above 11U or so may need a different interface or more metrics that are helpful for real development.
Otherwise as other reviewers pointed out, it is an expensive toy that doesn’t necessarily help baseball skills much.

Even with the currently available metrics, while doing a simple non-game swing mode, I wish we get to choose to display multiple metrics at once, without toggling through. Seems like a simple thing to change.
And please please have the easy spreadsheet or graph of the history of your metrics so it easier to keep track of the layers development. That must be easy to do.

I have a few months of subscription left and hoping to see some simple easy changes before we switch to another one.

Thank you for providing valuable feedback, we greatly appreciate it! While our goal is to help player's improve their swing and have fun doing it, we also want to make sure all players find a use from the app and the metrics we provide. We've noted your comments about different metric views for users in the open sessions mode. We also suggest checking out our WebApp at app.diamondkinetics.com. You can log into your account and see all of your historical stats and data!

DK is a toy

I read reviews. I read magazines articles about DK. I read comparisons between DK and Blast Motion. All I have to say is, DK must spend a ton of money to have these articles written. DK is a toy. Had it for a month now and I can honestly say I got duped. If your goal is to motivate you kid to swing at home and not just at baseball practice it might help. But if you’re looking for good data to base real improvement on or to track how a change to your swing affects speed, power, or any other metric, DK is definitely not the solution. It’s just not accurate enough. We did the home run derby at the field to compare real distance to the sensors determined distance. DK says 98’ hit when real distance cleared the fence (200’) off the tee. On top of the inaccuracy, they keep taking features away instead of adding them over time. The app is not very good either. It locks up in the middle of BP and you have to close it out and restart it. So if you’re trying to capture live BP data at practice, once you get the app working again, it starts trying to collect data right away while you’re trying to get the sensor set up for the correct player and correct bat which locks it up again…..using an iPhone 13 Pro with not much storage used. Been a disappointment.

Doesn’t work

I had been sent a replacement for my broken sensor and it will only connect to swing tracker and it was sent for the diamond kinetic app and they sent me a new sensor and it still wouldn’t connect

Response from developer

Hi! We're so sorry to here this happened to you! If you reach out to our Customer Care team, they will work to make this right ASAP!

Marketing vs Development

I wish this company had spent half as much time and money developed this app as they have marketing it. Everywhere I looked this ad followed me and m son. He was pumped to get it for his birthday. Long story short- it’s got bugs, not intuitive user interface, and frustrated us both.

Response from developer

We are so sorry for the issues that you've seen in the app and the frustration it's caused! We want to make sure your son can enjoy his birthday present! If you reach out to our Customer Care team, they'd be more than happy to help! You can reach them at support@diamondkinetics.com

Wouldn’t open

The app would open for a second and then kick me out
