## What is Baseball Radar Gun +?

Turn your iPhone or iPad into a portable Radar Gun, accurate to +/- 0.5 MPH.

I wish I had this app growing up. Radar guns were way too expensive and pitching coaches rarely encouraged "throwing hard" over "accuracy". Well, now we have iPhones and iPads capable of filming slo-mo, 240 FPS video... and we have them readily available at every game. 

I made this app to give every ballplayer and parent the opportunity to not only measure pitch speed, but also to analyze pitching mechanics with a very simple tool.


** APP FEATURES **

Portable Radar Gun
  - Load videos from your Camera Roll
  - Capture the release point and plate crossing video frames
  - Speed calculation is based on time and distance traveled
  - Stats accurate to +/- 0.5 MPH (slow-motion video)
  - Perfect for all age groups
  - Mound distances: 60'6", 54', 50', 48', 46', 44', 38'
  - Optimized for both iPhone and iPad

Video Analysis
  - Frame-by-frame analysis of pitching mechanics

** IMPORTANT **
This app does NOT rely on your reflex time to calculate pitch speed, like many 'stop watch radar gun' apps. Instead, you will use the iPhone's powerful camera technology (preferably 240 FPS slo-mo video) to accurately capture the pitcher's release point and plate crossing, resulting in extremely repeatable pitch speed calculations.

### 1/5 — Ok

*2025-09-14*

It is not accurate at all.

### 5/5 — Learn how to use the app first!

*2023-12-11*

I don’t review apps, but I felt inclined to respond to the rash of one star ratings of this app based on not using it correctly. This app is a great option to buying an overly expensive speed gun (which aren’t accurate either unless you know how to use one). That said, it will over rate the speed if you don’t choose the exact release point and crossing home plate point as the developer states in the instructions. This app is not a tap tap stop watch. I would also add filming 90° to the mound/plate (and filing at 240fps as recommended) so you can choose the exact position of the ball leaving the hand (or mound if the pitcher’s release point still needs work ;). The developer brilliantly incorporated the mathematics behind  calculating speed over a very specific distance using slo-mo video. Great job!

### 3/5 — Flawed- Overstates speed

*2023-07-10*

As others have said, it doesn’t consider release point/ assumed pitcher releases from the mound. As a result speeds are 9-10% less than this tells you. They should spend a small bit of energy helping adjust for that. 
But, if you just use this and adjust down by about 10%, you’ll get a pretty decent number.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2022-06-23, version 1.0.5*

Terrible doesn’t even work. Waste of money

### 5/5 — Great

*2022-04-09, version 1.0.5*

Great accurate app uses math

### 1/5 — ReSubmitting my Review

*2021-09-24*

This APP is terrific and the developer stands behind the use of the APP. I submitted a question and he responded right away with a solution. I highly recommend this App! A great way to improve speed and mechanics

### 5/5 — Well thought out app

*2020-04-21*

Well thought out app, surprisingly accurate. Easy to use as well. Only improvement I’d like to see would be to be able to go literally frame by frame for greater accuracy. But pretty on the money for ballpark of pitching speed.

### 2/5 — Lacks features

*2019-11-15*

Good app but it needs the ability to export video clip that includes speed graphic and other info such as pitcher name team and event location etc

### 1/5 — Just a calculator of time and distance

*2019-10-11, version 1.0.4*

No camera function.  You don’t need an app for this.

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2019-09-15, version 1.0.4*

This app is a waste of money I want my money back
