### 1/5 — Does not work

*2026-06-23*

They Never sent a confirmation email so this app is a dollar wasted

### 1/5 — App now broken

*2026-06-15*

Does not work anymore

### 2/5 — Grand slam ball machine

*2026-05-11*

It is a ok

### 1/5 — Hard to use and was impossible to know which device to connect

*2024-11-11*

If you have multiple ball machines in a vicinity, there is no way to know chic one to pick.  If you then pick the wrong one, there is no easy way to pick the right one.  

As a tech founder, I’m pretty tech savvy so this was pretty bad.

### 1/5 — Not usable

*2022-10-02*

App doesn’t let you control direction. UI broken with the newest iOS. It’s unusable.

### 5/5 — Recommendation

*2022-09-23*

Can you please modify your app to use the shutter (same button call as taking a picture) to do start/stop?  Reasoning is there are lots of little, cheap Bluetooth buttons for snapping a picture when your phone is on the tripod. We could use one of those instead of having to keep your phone in your pocket.

### 2/5 — Text in app doesn’t show

*2022-08-20*

When trying to set up custom locations the location text does not show. The text in the location dials are blank. Paid .99 and app doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — No customer service

*2022-08-10*

App doesn’t work on watch at all. Tuning of the ball machine is difficult because shots are impacted if they follow each other too quickly. IE moon after a backspin and the ball flies more than moon after topspin. Ugh

### 2/5 — Update the app

*2022-07-12*

Hi, you should make a update for this app bc in my iPhone 13 and my iPad the app does fit and look terribly and some time I try to make a new drill and the shoots and the directions does appear

### 3/5 — Basics work but Watch app doesn’t.

*2022-04-04*

Generally a useful app for controlling the ball machine. But starting ball feeding from the Watch results in the phone app crashing, so that piece of functionality is basically broken.
