### 2/5 — Poorly made

*2025-10-25*

The concept of the game is good, but the actual features do not work well the shooting percentage menu interface does not work at all. You can only see your past few sessions and the other buttons will not work at all. Additionally, you can only use an orange ball it’s not stated, but I tested it with any other color and it will not track your shots

### 2/5 — Broken

*2025-07-13, version 3.1.2*

This app has been broken for some time now. Developers don’t care to fix it.

### 3/5 — Why should we have to pay for it?

*2025-03-12*

This is a pretty good app, but whenever I go to see my stats, a screen always pops up saying I have to pay $3.99 a month. It’s a weird thing you have to do. It would be awesome if we could get those things that you can get for paying for free.

### 2/5 — This tracking does not work

*2024-08-30*

I’ve been trying to get this tracking to work for the past couple hours. Everything is always a miss and when I do switch it, it still calls it a miss. This app is not good if your trying to get your shot down. Ai tracking is terrible and I still haven’t found a way to fix it.

### 3/5 — Please fix

*2024-01-08*

Doesn’t show my consistency that I’m getting with arc and depth just showing average I would much rather see the consistency then average

### 1/5 — Improvements with calibration

*2023-09-08*

I was enjoying this app until it stopped working. I did everything like I did before. I put my phone down on the side of the court, put the hoop in the box, and calibrated it when it turned and stayed green. Please fix this issue

**Developer response:** Hi Joseph,  I'm sorry you're all of a sudden having some difficulty.  I'm not sure what could have changes as we haven't made any changes to calibration.  If you visit hoopsapp.com and send us a message we'll be happy to help you dig into it further.  Thanks!

### 1/5 — I payed and it’s saying I didn’t.

*2023-08-03*

I payed the yearly subscription and at first it was working for like a day…then when I did it the next day I went to check the stats and it was saying “you are only able to view limited data” and it was trynna make me pay again..like what?

**Developer response:** That is odd.  I'm absolutely going to look into this for you.  If you don't mind visiting hoopsapp.com and submitting a support ticket then we can get to the bottom of this and get it fixed up for you.  Thanks!

### 4/5 — Great app… Subscription

*2023-08-02*

The app is great, I was able to improve my mechanics within a few days. My only issue is with the subscriptions. I get it, you need to make money somehow, but I’d take ads over subscriptions any day.

**Developer response:** Hi!  We'd love to do an ad supported model but at this time we just don't have the volume of users to make it work.  But we're working on it!  Thanks!

### 1/5 — Bruh really

*2023-04-17, version 2.1.7*

It says that MY EMAIL is taken. ITS MY EMAIL!

### 1/5 — It not accurate

*2023-04-16, version 2.1.7*

Everytime i shot it doesn’t count

### 1/5 — Great idea poorly executed

*2023-04-03*

i shot for around 10 min with like 60 shots. I finish the training thing and it’s like “55 degree shot 4% splash and i’m like okay cool now tell me how to improve. I don’t know if there’s a paywall or what. in the ads it seemed like it would show you when you shoot and tell you how to improve. there’s NONE of that. don’t advertise something you can’t deliver on.

**Developer response:** We appreciate the feedback and you're right, in future versions we should do a better job of explaining how to indeed improve.  We do have some videos within the app that could be more front and centre.  Did you see those?  I'm happy the tracking of shots worked well for you.  I feel your 1 star review is a little harsh and undeserved and I hope you'll reconsider.  We're working hard to improve the app so we can continue to help people improve their game.  Thanks again for the feedback!

### 1/5 — I really want this to work

*2023-02-26, version 2.1.0*

I think this app has potential I just can’t figure out why when it calibrates it turns black and doesn’t count any shots pls help

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2023-02-04*

Even after I gave it access to my camera it turns black and shuts me out of the app every time I try to calibrate it. Really disappointed, I had this app recommended by a basketball camp, and I’m really sad that I can’t even use it.

**Developer response:** Hi!  I'm sorry you are having issues.  If you wish to contact us via hoopsapp.com we'll be happy to try to assist and do our best to fix your problems.  Thanks!

*2026-06-17*

Does not work for se3 IPhones, dissapointed in this.

### 1/5 — Do not get

*2025-05-03, version 3.1.2*

Bro your device has to be perfectly lined up with your hoop and never counts your shots

### 1/5 — Can’t create a new session

*2025-02-01*

The app is buggy. Every time i try to train i get the same error message saying “ there is a problem creating a session please try back later” this has gone on for 7 days.

### 1/5 — Not accurate

*2024-12-21, version 3.0.9*

Even though it was confirmed to be calibrated properly it recorded many makes as misses.

### 1/5 — Terrible please help this game is very fun but this makes me mad

*2024-09-11, version 3.0.9*

When I go to select a game, it will only go to my shot cart, chart and my consistency, but I want to play a game not look at my chart terrible

### 1/5 — THIS GAME IS HORRIBLE

*2024-01-17, version 3.0.9*

When I shoot, I make it then it counts as a miss

### 5/5 — Great app but

*2024-06-13*

I personally would use this app if I was a nba player but I don’t like that you have to pay a subscription but other than that it is a great app

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2024-04-06*

What a fantastic surprise. I’m an adult and have been working on my shot form. I found this at the perfect time and am now using it to increase my range. It’s so simple to use and gives me fantastic metrics that give me huge motivation to improve more and shows me when I do. I literally improved the first day and anticipate lots more improvement as as I use it to push my range.

Dunno if you are actively working on it but here’s a couple things I’d love:
* I’d like to be able to hear both depth and angle at the same time. Ie, “12  46”. 
* I’d like to be able to tag a training session with a short note 

This is so awesome - Why isn’t everyone using this?

**Developer response:** We are so glad to hear that the app is helping your shot.  Thanks for the great feedback and great suggestions!  I'll be sure to add them to our list!

### 5/5 — A review

*2023-02-12, version 2.0.6*

It’s good virtual horse a personal ai shooting coach and no money needed

### 5/5 — this app is amazing

*2023-02-07, version 2.0.6*

amazing app gonna use this everyday

### 5/5 — Fantastic shooting app!

*2022-04-18*

I’ve used a couple different apps for shooting but none of them gave me the entry angle for every shot. It took me a few times to get the calibration right but once i got it the training was very cool. My phone speaker isn’t too great but it worked well with my airpods.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your great feedback Manny!  We hope you continue to enjoy the app and improve your shot!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2021-10-16*

Love using this app! Really looking forward to future updates. Developers respond to issues, publishes fixes, and develop requested features!

**Developer response:** Hi Steven!  I'm happy you were enjoying the app but sad that you're now having some trouble.  Please visit hoopsapp.com and send in a support request from there.  We'll be happy to do what we can to help you out!  Thanks!

### 5/5 — Very good 👍

*2021-09-06*

Awesome for improving your shot. Would highly recommend.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the great feedback!  When setup properly at the side of the court the HOOPS app can give you great real-time feedback and absolutely make your shot more consistent!

### 5/5 — This app is awesome.

*2021-06-26, version 1.0.11*

I love this app. The statistics that it shows you are fascinating. I have only been using the app for a week but I have already saw an improvement in my shooting. It is super easy to set up and the calibration is seamless. I think that there how-to video was a little more informative but it did the job. I would highly suggest that you get this app if you love to game of basketball.

### 4/5 — Useful but calls my swishes a miss

*2026-07-05, version 3.2.1*
