### 1/5 — 完全不能用

### 1/5 — From Swing Analytics Platform to Glorified Swing Counter

*2026-05-19*

I purchased Blast as a Christmas gift this past December 2025 for my daughter who plays competitive travel softball because it USED to be a legitimate swing analytics platform. The value was in the ability to track swings over time, review reports, analyze trends, and export data for deeper evaluation. That was the entire point.

From December to now, Blast has quietly gutted the very features that made the platform useful.

Blast Connect is being retired.
Player Reports were removed.
Data syncing stopped.
CSV/Excel export functionality does not exist.
And according to support, there is currently no timeline to bring it back EVER. 

What makes this especially frustrating is that support previously told users export functionality was being worked on for the future. Instead, the opposite happened, features disappeared.

So what are you actually left with?

A glorified swing counter inside a mobile app.

That’s it.

If you are a parent, coach, travel player, or serious athlete looking for long-term player development and analytics, understand this before investing money into Blast hardware and subscriptions: you no longer truly own or meaningfully access your own data outside the app.

In 2026, with AI-powered analysis, video breakdown tools, automated trend tracking, and advanced baseball/softball analytics rapidly evolving, removing export and reporting capabilities is honestly shocking. Most serious users want MORE access to their data, not less.

The frustrating part is that Blast already had the foundation. Instead of evolving into a modern AI-integrated analytics ecosystem, they stripped away core functionality and locked everything into a watered-down mobile experience.

Support was polite and transparent, but the product direction itself has become deeply disappointing.

There are now far better options emerging for players and families who actually care about analytics, AI-assisted development, historical tracking, and owning their own performance data.

Unfortunately, Blast no longer appears to be one of them.

### 3/5 — Nice sensor; Poor Customer Support

*2026-04-29*

Just started using the sensor with my 10 year old.  The real time feedback is very helpful and helps with immediate swing adjustments. My only criticism so far is customer support. I paid the annual fee but my account does not show me as a paid user. I’ve tried multiple times to contact customer support but they are unresponsive. No one returns emails or picks up the phone.   Hope someone helps soon.

### 5/5 — Softball star

*2026-03-24*

My kid got a new bat was struggling with hand speed. The device captures realtime swings and can see what the different swing speeds/individual metrics. Plus the HR derby game makes them want to use it again and again. Also purchase price was reasonable and shipping was 2day FedEx. I ordered on Thursday and it was at my door Monday. Highly recommend this one.

### 4/5 — New but love it

*2026-03-06*

Love it. It’s great for showing bat angle and bat speed although for some of the features you have to pay membership for. Still getting a hang of it since it is new, but I love it so far

### 5/5 — A game change

*2026-02-17*

The Blast bat sensor has been an absolute game changer for my 12U travel softball player. We are able to track important metrics like attack angle, rotational acceleration, and on plane efficiency. Practice has gone from just hitting off the tee and the cage, to being able to tailor our hitting sessions to pinpoint specific areas of need. We are able to see hitting deficiencies and work on those areas, which wouldn’t be possible without Blast. This sensor is recommended and used by our travel ball organization CA.

### 4/5 — Feedback

*2026-02-16*

It’s a great tool to help your athlete. Helps you improve your hitting with the feedback you’re given.

### 1/5 — App update makes app worthless

*2026-01-19*

Purchased sensor in November 2025 knowing I was only going to keep trends using the free metrics offered. Now I’m met with a subscription page, which blocks from seeing even the free advertised metrics. The subscription page offers a free trial.  I clicked on the free trial and was immediately billed for 1 yr subscription. Thankfully Apple refunded.  But now I’m back to square one and still getting the “free trial” subscription popup page blocking access. Total waste of money. Do not purchase the sensor unless you plan to pay for the monthly or yearly subscription.

### 3/5 — New update

*2025-09-22*

Having already shelled out several hundred bucks for Blast Motion sensors, this recent update now forces you to subscribe to annual / monthly fees beyond the first 10 swings for even the basic metrics. Be prepared.

### 3/5 — Not bad but camera doesn’t work

*2025-08-21*

Interesting to see numbers. I’d love to use the camera but any time I do the screen is just blank.

**Developer response:** Hi there, I'm sorry to hear that you were having trouble with the camera when using the application. Typically, restarting your device before jumping back into the application should resolve this! If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out to support@blastmotion.com.
