But it is WAYYY too complicated. U don’t just sign into the Dr. Dish and start shooting in a few minutes notice. It’s a sign in, ur forced to make a profile, and then u have to have a password again to sign into the Dr. dish, and then after u do that u have to go to another website to sign in. I’ve just been doing the live remote because this is such a ridiculous process just for the machine to throw u the ball where u want it to. ### 3/5 — App difficulties *2024-10-01* Great for shooting. The app isn’t the best. I can’t stop the workout without it having to reconnect to the dr dish and it will just completely end my workout and lose my progress. Very frustrating. ### 5/5 — Great Product *2023-08-19* Very excited to get this puppy in the backyard and it’s been everything I thought it would be. Great program for shooting and training and great for creating discipline **Developer response:** We're PUMPED you dig the Dr. Dish player app as much as we do! Stay tuned for exciting features come down the road! ### 5/5 — So. Good *2023-08-02, version 4.0.0* This is so amazing ### 5/5 — I love Dr Dish *2022-12-31, version 3.0.3* We have 3 Dr Dish systems at LABCITY SPORTS TRAINING CENTER in Charlotte and we love them. We definitely see improvement from our players that use them consistently. ### 4/5 — Just needs 1 more feature to be perfect! *2022-09-02* Gets better every time. Now if you can only add an Apple Watch app so that you can pause/start with the watch, this would be perfect!!!! **Developer response:** Hi there! Thank you for your review and feedback. We do have drill modes that allow you to complete your workout/drill without having to run up to the machine mid-workout, but we are also working on potential remote options to alleviate this issue in the future! ### 3/5 — Dr Dish App Review *2022-07-01* The app is very good with getting up shots whenever. However, different parts of the app say that you took different amounts of shots in the same time period and sometimes shots don’t load and don’t count, which is very frustrating. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We strive to make our app experience a convenient and consistent one, and we apologize for any issues you're encountering. Our product team is always working to improve our interface and hope to bring you a better experience with upcoming updates. ### 1/5 — Awful registration process *2022-05-28, version 2.0.4* We have a Dr Dish home and can’t use it because it runs through the app. The problem is the app won’t send a four digit code when trying to verify my phone number during the registration process. ### 1/5 — This is a waste of money *2022-03-30, version 2.0.2* It doesn’t even track some of my makes. I push the cords together and still doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — The goal counter *2022-03-23, version 2.0.2* The switch does not work so it won’t count the shots ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Freaking membership *2026-08-26* Why should I have to have a membership on the app after years of not having the app. I’ve already bought a Dr. Dish!!!!! And u want me to give you more money to use live mode. It would make sense for different training drills and online stuff, but you’re literally just BEGGING for money. ### 1/5 — App not turning sideways *2025-08-21, version 4.2.0* Not turning ### 1/5 — Dr dish *2025-07-25, version 4.0.98* One star review ### 1/5 — Too hard to sign into the Dr. Dish *2025-04-09, version 4.0.94* I’ve tried a few times already to sign into the Dr. dish, my cousin is the owner, and he gave me the password. But it is WAYYY too complicated. U don’t just sign into the Dr. Dish and start shooting in a few minutes notice. It’s a sign in, ur forced to make a profile that signs into an Email, the Bluetooth NEVER works, and then u have to have a password again to sign into the Dr. dish, and then after u do that u have to go to another website to sign in. I’ve just been doing the live remote because this is such a ridiculous process just for the machine to throw u the ball. We already bought the machine, MAKE IT EASY TI SET UP. ### 1/5 — Caleb *2025-01-24* Brand new. Used for 10 minutes and then stopped working. Can’t get a hold of support team. Australian contractor who purchased off was helpful. Need update their support team ASAP! Should not stop working after 10 minutes of use ### 1/5 — Ridiculous *2024-05-31, version 4.0.60* The membership price is actually such a scam ### 1/5 — App freezes on black screen *2024-01-05, version 4.0.24* After I complete a workout. The app gets stuck on a black screen. How can I fix this issue? ### 1/5 — Don’t buy unless you plan to buy a subscription *2023-10-13, version 4.0.1* If you don’t pay for the subscription you get 3 spots to shoot from. For over 3k to get a shooting machine I did not expect to need a 40 subscription just to shoot. Find an alternative. ### 1/5 — Terrible without a sub *2023-04-14* We bought the machine and got a couple months free of the subscription. With the subscription, it’s a great machine. Without the subscription, it’s total garbage they only allow you a couple of drills with very little flexibility when you don’t have a subscription. In addition, those free drills have a video in front of them that you have to watch every single time you try to start the drill. So if you want to get in any kind of a rhythm, that’s not possible. Overall, as I said, it’s a great machine. I sincerely and severely dislike what a poor experience you have without a subscription for a $3000 machine. **Developer response:** Hi Brad, we sincerely apologize for the troubles you've had with the app. Our team works to update the app frequently and be very transparent in setting expectations with our users. The machine is still fully functional with passing and rotating with preset drills without a subscription, but yes, there are significantly more features available with the subscription. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us at info@drdishbasketball.com. Thank you. ### 1/5 — App churns *2022-08-26, version 2.0.5* The workouts just churn. Very annoyed.

I knew as soon as I saw this app it would be amazing! ### 5/5 — Great Product *2025-09-01* This product delivered using fall discount over three years ago. Company even sent me extra basketballs for my daughter. This machine easily gets over 500 shots a week. Works and functions great. Customer service has been great. No issues. ### 5/5 — Game-changer for Backyard Reps! *2025-07-21* I’m absolutely loving my Dr Dish Home shooting machine. The app subscription is fantastic. It is filled skilled-based workouts that I can choose based on my skill level. I especially like that I can create drills based on my court layout. The machine is easy to set up, super consistent, and perfect for solo practicing. I wish I had bought it sooner. ### 5/5 — Dr Dish *2025-07-15, version 4.0.98* This piece of equipment is a true investment. My sons loves it. The app keeps all stats.
