### 4/5 — I gave it a 4

*2024-10-25*

I’m glad this app was made but would have liked it to have more bells and whistles with each new update.

**Developer response:** You can delete outliers. In the History (chart) view, highlight the break you want to delete and tap the “Delete One” button. The button will change to “Confirm”. Tap it again to confirm the deletion and the break will be deleted from the history.

### 3/5 — I gave it a 5 years ago…

*2024-10-23*

But the really haven’t improved it even though many players have specifically asked for being able to delete an outlier. A couple of times it has given my speeds in the 60mph range. I’d need to shoot the ball out of a gun to get half that speed. 
Overall it’s a nice app but they are lazy in getting it better. I pay for a real update with classy options.

### 3/5 — Needs more features for the price

*2022-09-15*

It’s very much a barebones speed measurement app. The adjustment of the waveform doesn’t work well and end up having to delete the break instead of fix it. Deleting a break doesn’t work most times, usually have to do it after a few breaks to go through. Really needs a way to export data to a spreadsheet to really make the data useful. If just even the last feature requested is implemented it deserves 5 stars

### 4/5 — Feature request, but good app if..

*2022-03-15*

room is quiet.  

That said, could we get the ability to add name tags to speeds, and maybe delete erroneous speeds in results table.

### 4/5 — Works fine

*2019-12-25*

It for the most part works but sometimes it can get fooled by background noises and give u the wrong speed but unless ur in a loud pool hall that only happens like 10% of the time it’s also important that the cue ball and table size is exact otherwise it is way off

### 2/5 — 言語

*2019-07-21*

中国語で表示されて意味がわかりません。
せめて英語の表示にしたいのに、どこで変更できるのかが不明です。

誰かわかる人いたら、教えて下さい。
お願いします。

### 4/5 — Nice but needs updates

*2016-01-26, version 5.0*

I use this tool with BreakRak. Two tools for serious players wanting to improve. 
The app states you can delete an outlier but it doesn't. I couldn't get it to delete all attempts even which previously I could. 
Don't stop here, keep tinkering to make it a great app. Graphs, charts, forecasts would all be nice addition to a nice program.

### 4/5 — Just keeps getting better

*2016-01-11*

Just keeps getting better. Now with running averages and min-max data. Very effective tool for tracking your break speed.  

Over time you can train yourself to guess the actual speed which helps fine adjustments to speed when your playing a match and cannot use device. 

Stable and accurate.

### 4/5 — Works as expected

*2015-09-07, version 5.0*

Nice to see the difference in speeds.  Occasionally doesn't seem accurate but i think it depends on the background noise too.

### 4/5 — Very good

*2014-03-02*

If you are looking for accurate feedback on your break speed, look no further. The next step this app could go in the future is to show video of your breaks against some pros like some golf apps do with their "swing analysis" feature. But as it stands, if you want a pool app that you will actually use, give this a try.

### 4/5 — Great but pricey app

*2013-07-14, version 3.1.1*

I learned a lot about my break. If it was $2.99 this would be a 5-star app easy.

### 3/5 — good, but needs more features to be a 5 dollar app.

*2013-02-23, version 3.1.0*

nice app, but some crucial features are missing. 
- deleting history / individual scores
- keep all history
- avg break calculator
- a way to differentiate different players / cues.

### 5/5 — Works Great

*2012-05-25, version 3.0.0*

Thanks for great app.  It is a hit at the pool room,  measuring everyone's break speed

### 4/5 — 面白い

*2012-02-04*

Km表示にするとヒストリーの数値がおかしくなる(ブレイク後の表示自体は正常)バグはありますが、それ以外は安定しています(4S) このバグが直れば星5です。
精度もかなり高いと思います。店内に音楽が流れ隣の台で人が撞いてる状況でもきっちり計測してくれます。平均して1Kmアップさせるのがこんなに大変な事だとは思わなかった。ブレイクの練習は元々好きだけどより一層楽しく練習出来るようになりました。

### 1/5 — Table size

*2022-11-04*

I am unable to change the table size. I have tried several times in different situations.

### 1/5 — Plz update

*2022-05-10*

It is not work delete key!

### 1/5 — Not accurate

*2022-03-04*

I am a top notch player and have had my break recorded at over 24mph with a radar gun at a billiards expo. I thought this would be a fun app to try. I put it on my private table and did a series of breaks they ranged from 12mph-44 mph so basically this is not accurate at all. The instructions do not say exactly where you need to put it on the table……I even turned off all the noise in the room just to be safe and it is still way off…..I would not waste your money on this.

### 1/5 — iPhone X screenshots are fake

*2019-11-20*

This is not actually optimized for iPhone X or later so don’t waste your money.

I still can’t believe they just cropped the old screenshots to pretend it’s been updated. 😂😂😂

### 1/5 — んー

*2019-03-20*

周りの関係ない音拾いまくってるのか、まともに計測出来ないです。

### 1/5 — Save your money.

*2018-09-18*

This app is so completely inconsistent.   I spent hours testing and following instructions to the letter and each result was different.    

Not even worth a novelty item.

### 1/5 — Not very good

*2012-01-25, version 3.0.0*

Any little sound in the room will give you different speeds. We had the radio going and had a different speed, we had to create a perfect environment for it to work.

### 1/5 — Need external mic for I Phone 4

*2010-10-05, version 0*

I just bought the program for my I Phone 4. An error message comes up and states that you need an external mic to use this program.

### 1/5 — iPhone4

*2010-09-25*

9月24日にアップロードしたら起動しなくなった…

### 1/5 — 全く起動しませんが・・・

*2010-09-24*

どーなってんの？？

*2025-01-27*

Wish predator did more apps like this

### 5/5 — 好用

*2024-11-29*

为啥我不知道怎么去改变球桌大小？

**Developer response:** 要更改表格大小，请点击底部的表格图标，然后移动表格图形正下方的滑块。

### 5/5 — iPhone11

裏面カメラ横のマイクで音拾ってます。裏返しで測って下さい。

### 5/5 — Bin begeistert. Top App.

*2019-05-23*

Funktioniert sehr gut. 
IPHONE 5S 5SE
iPad mini

### 5/5 — Great app.  One suggestion.

*2018-08-08*

This is a great app and really easy to use. 

My suggestion is to allow for different profiles. For example I might want to compare different cues, different cue ball spots, different stances, or different people.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2013-10-27, version 3.2.0*

Good app sometimes not so accurate. But it's nice to know how fast your breaking at!

### 5/5 — Semi pro semi driver

*2013-10-16*

Excellent way for small group, say 4 people are above 20 mph, see who can get closest to 18 mph without going over

### 5/5 — Sehr gut!

*2013-01-07*

Eine sehr gute App, die auch hervorragend funktioniert.

### 5/5 — One of my favorite pool apps!

*2012-12-12, version 3.1.0*

This tool is useful for working on your break or for just having fun while your playing pool. It's also fun to have mini tourneys with your friends. I only wish I could delete from the history, but I guess it allows me to use it even more.
