Love it

Love the machine. Wish the app would support padel ball settings.

Response from developer

Thanks for the review. Really glad you’re enjoying the machine. We will pass along your note about adding padel ball settings to the app.

Very intuitive app for great product

I’ve had the Proton for 6 months now and I’ve really enjoyed using the machine and the app. I’ve historically had a lot of trouble with groundstroke to approach shot transition, so the custom mode of the app really came into heavy use for me. It’s honestly delightful that the developers put so much thought into how a shot can be programmed. Totally recommend and I also think the Proton beats almost any other machine in the market at the moment.

Really appreciate you sharing this. It’s great to hear the custom mode has helped your transition work. Thanks for taking the time to leave a review.

Badly needs a lock screen pause/play button

The app seems functional enough but I see it as a safety issue for the user to have to take their phone out of their pocket and unlock it in order to pause the machine. A pause/play button on the lock screen, à la a music or podcast app, would be a major, major quality of life improvement for the overall system.

Thanks for the thoughtful feedback. We do have the Nano Remote, which lets you pause and play the machine without taking your phone out or unlocking it. It’s the safest way to control the app hands‑free. We will pass your lock‑screen request along to the team.

Ball Machine itself is stellar when it works.

The machine is fantastic when it’s working and the when the app is working—however, there is a good chunk of updates to the app that completely brick the machine or its programs on the app. Also the bluetooth receiver module on the machine itself seems so weak, I constantly have problems with the machine disconnecting from my phone mid hitting session.

Aside from these issues the machine is great, the balls are heavy and really do make you a better ball striker. Also the customer support is great.

Thanks for letting us know — we’ve already pushed out a fix for the issue affecting oscillation in built‑in and custom programs. When you have a moment, please send a quick email to our support team (the address is listed on the Hydrogen Sports website) with your info so we can make sure everything on your account is taken care of.

Latest updates broke almost all modes in the App.

Any built in or custom program that uses oscillators no longer works. :(
