User reviews

Works as advertised⚾️👍🏻

This is the only radar gun app I've found that actually works. The ability to mark the pitch start and end times give you very accurate values - better than real radar gun as you can record from many angles and save the results to a video. Worth the money!

Great idea; rough execution

Most baseball radar apps are more a test of your thumb accuracy than a precision tool for measuring MPH. Of course, NO phone has an actual radar, so all apps must employ some form of the equation d=rt to calculate velocity.
While Pitchman gives you pinpoint accuracy in locating the exact frame of release and catch, the software has stability issues, which scrubs the joy right from it.
Since the developer has not upgraded it in a while, I suspect others will soon pick up on the idea and make a better app. I’ll be looking for it, too.

Accurate and versatile

This app is so simple yet so effective. Way better then any other app I’ve seen and way more accurate. I have tested it with my son pitching against my radar gun and was within 1-2mph at 60mph. Takes a little time set release point and catching point. It is only as effective as the information you feed it. Just the feature of showing video with time frame by frame is also useful for swing evaluation or various other things. Great app!

Support site down...

I just downloaded your app. It crashes when I try to import video from the library and also when using the camera. When I try to use the camera from within the app it “soft crashes” back to the home screen. I was able to make a test recording and add the markers once but have not been able to repeat.

Can you help or are you working on an update? The app is promising and a good idea.

Also you support site seems to be down.

Very accurate

Took me a while to figure out, but when I did I got excellent results. It's perfect for my kid in travel ball.
