This app is trash

Don’t get this app ur a loser if u play this

Helpful option

I’m a high school physics teacher, and this app is better than anything else free out there on mobile. I like that students can upload videos they took previously, but just watch out bc it only accepts landscape orientation. I also would really like to see some slow mo options, because the time intervals aren’t adjustable, so it works best on fairly slow moving objects. Otherwise, works well.

Bruh

This game is trash, I don’t even know how to play it, fix your game cause playgrounds is good.

School made me do use this

I hate school, period.

Terrible

This app is terrible, coming in at one star. You are a nerd if you get this.

It is suitable for using this app in STEM activities.

But, the video that is recorded by iPad is not really clear and there is an error whenI try to import an existing video that I shot by my phone and sent it to ipad.

Very good app, but it haves some errors

When I want to edit a video to put the dots, it say’s (error it couldn’t save to the camera roll because the app doesn’t have permission) but I enabled the access, I deleted and downloaded the app like 3 times and still keeps saying the same. I think it could be good an little actualization for IOS 13.

Very precise timer and great for analysing motion!

Useful and accurate video capture that worked well with motion practicals. Was great when confirming the Law of Conservation of Momentum using gliders and a linear air track.

Works great for high school conceptual physics student use

I've been searching for an app that my students can use more accurately time motion of falling objects and rolling objects, and pendulum motion. This is simple to use,quick to learn, and even gives average velocity between multiple points on a video. Cool speedometer on screen, and on screen graph of speed between multiple point.

Pas mal mais manque quelques fonctions essentielles

Super, mais il manque a mon sens
- possibilité d’activer le mode ralenti de l’appareil photo de l’iPad
- zoom sur la vidéo pour placer les points précisément
- calcul de l’accélération
- graphe montrant ensemble énergie potentielle, énergie cinétique et leur somme

Helpful, but...

...where's the slow-motion? As a martial artist, I bought this give me an idea of my speed and relative power and hopefully to help me better break down my form and look for my mistakes. Can you PLEASE fix the lack of slo-mo?? Thanks! Keep up the good work!

Getting with the 21st century

The app was released with iOS 9 on the horizon and still crashes due to developers not having played catchup. Great idea, for the app, and I'm sure the tool is useful on older devises, but I traded in my commodore 64 a long time ago.

DONT BUY THIS

Well don't buy this it won't work it just sends you on to your home screen

A long way to go to get to Useful.

This app has the feel of a hastily put together, half-formed thought. Tagging the position of an object in a video is crazy imprecise... the position marker is large, making it difficult to center, and there's no algorithm or tool to keep the marker on-target. This results in a jagged path, and because of this no single piece of data is accurate or useful. In addition, you get values for instants in time, but you do not get graphs of position, velocity, acceleration... no vectors... I teach physics, and I can honestly find no place in my classroom for this app. I am not sure at all to whom they are marketing this app.

Wish you could try apps before you them

This might be a great app, but it isn't what I was looking for. I know it was only $2.99, but it's useless to me, so I'm stuck with it. I really do wish we could try before we buy. You can't even return it.
