### 2/5 — Application

*2026-08-10, version 1.26.0*

Please fix this application.  I’m trying to hang in there with hopes it would get better, freeze less, crash less and get faster, but it has been frustrating to use 90% of the time.  The subscription is not worth it because a child will encounter so many issues using the app they’ll give up.  The data is fun and great, but you have to fix this application.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-07-26, version 1.26.0*

Based on my experience, nothing good has come from this app. It takes at least 30 minutes to connect the bat sensor to the phone every single time you want to use it! The app is extremely slow and glitchy. Once I finally get the sensor to connect, the app will either completely crash, the sensor randomly disconnects losing all swings you just took, or it just won’t read and swings at all and constantly stuck on a loading screen. When the app crashes, you have to close the app and open it again which disconnects the sensor forcing you to take at least another 30 minutes. The technology in the sensor and app just doesn’t seem strong or stable.

### 2/5 — Keeps Getting Worse

*2026-06-27, version 1.26.0*

Great product when I first bought it for my son. Now the app crashes every other session or won’t read swings in lessons. Also there has been no new content for almost two years. At this point I might as well get a Blast Motion and save on the subscription.

### 3/5 — Ish…

*2026-05-01, version 1.26.0*

This app gives great data, when it works. 7 times out of 10, it will crash after it pulls the data off the bat. And there is no way to look at “last data collected” or anything. Once you look at it, or the app crashes it’s gone forever. There is no way to back and look at prior data to compare it or anything. We just spent an hour in the cages, I pulled the data, the app crashed, and it’s gone. No information. I don’t understand how there is no option to view old data.

### 3/5 — Good: wish there was more options

*2026-03-27, version 1.26.0*

My son is really enjoying the sensor. I am as well as it helps develop his swing and see where he needs to improve. I wish there was a way to see individual sessions at a later date as opposed to only the overall breakdown. Other than that we like it a lot.

### 1/5 — New firmware

*2026-02-11, version 1.26.0*

Very frustrating that I can’t update the size of the bat. It stays with the new firmware I need to reset Bluetooth. I reset it and it kicks me out. So whack.

### 1/5 — Not good quality

*2025-12-31, version 1.26.0*

First things first horable quality to be complete honest it’s way to tight for it to put on the end of your bat I just got it for a Christmas gift had it for 1 hour and the rubber Alr ripped like I can’t spend this much money for it to rip totally waste

### 2/5 — Not worth it

*2025-08-06, version 1.26.0*

The sensor in my bat didn’t connect to the app

### 2/5 — Bring back old feature

*2025-07-20, version 1.26.0*

Nothing but a bunch of little games and useless things to make your kid want to hit more ever since I got rid of the most helpful tool, which was being able to see your swing path and impact point with the old version this is a tool mainly used just for fun and they took away. What makes it a great tool to be used by advanced baseball players.

### 5/5 — Kids 🤝 MLB

*2025-07-11, version 1.26.0*

Great way to stay connected to the MLB with highlights updated daily and hitting lessons from current MLB players
