When me and my dad tried to buy over 39 it costed $13! I just want it to be less money so I could be able to buy it more cheap.💸💸💸💸💸😁😁😁😁 ### 5/5 — Easy-to-use, super accurate *2017-01-08* Best iPhone baseball radar app out there. Accurate readings, solid pitch counter. Also they have a great support team! ### 1/5 — Cannot be used during a game *2016-09-01* With phone on the field this can not give pitching velocity during a game. So it is only good for bullpens. This you still need to buy a real radar gun. Just skip this. ## Frequently asked questions about Baseball ### What sports can I measure speeds for with Velocity?
