When trying to resume session app displays the following message “Recording is paused until the phone call is disconnected.” No phone call because phone is in airplane mode. The only way to continue recording is restarting the app or to never pause and record useless data from opponents pitcher. Using iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 Pro with IOS 26.5 **Developer response:** Hello, We do apologize for the issue you have been experiencing with the phone call disconnection. If you can reach out to our Support Team at Info@PocketRadar.com or by phone at 888-381-2672 our Team would very much like to help. Thanks! ### 2/5 — Amazing concept… When it works *2026-03-29, version 2.6.0* Jampacked full of bugs when it works right it’s amazing but it rarely does I wish I could get it figured out ### 3/5 — iPhone 15 Pro Fail *2025-11-23, version 2.5.0* Great while it worked. Recently stopped working on my iPhone 15 pro. I’ve tried deleting, resetting re downloading, etc. still works on my iPad, just not ideal for practices any more. ### 1/5 — Downloadable videos *2025-09-21, version 2.4.0* Already paid a lot of money for the device. The ability to add videos to my device should be included in the app without having to pay for a subscription. Makes the app not usable for us. ### 2/5 — app isn’t working *2025-08-14, version 2.4.0* I connected the radar and did everything, then when i try to make a session i put baseball and whatever i’m trying to do, and it starts the session for a second then goes back the the start a session page. ### 1/5 — h *2025-08-08, version 2.4.0* this app has a lot of great potential. i love the real pocket radar and use it at all of my tournaments. the problem with this app is that i can’t even sign up. no matter what email i use i can’t sign up and it says i already have an account which is impossible because i’ve never used the app. PLEASE FIX THIS because i really want to use this app. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-07-11, version 2.3.3* Bluetooth disconnects constantly no matter how close to the device you are. High frequency of missed readings or phantom readings. Integration with GameChanger costs too much and doesn’t work reliably enough to use. Just a really low quality experience all around. ### 4/5 — Range *2025-07-10, version 2.3.3* Fantastic for practice and situations where distance isn’t an issue. At 60/90 fields I have had issues tracking velo during game play, when the unit is not right on top the action. ### 4/5 — Stand Alone Works Great but GC Integration Requires Patience *2025-07-10* I have two smart radar and run one for slow-mo capture and the other for automatic speeds into Game Changer. Minimal issues with stand alone app though sometimes there are issues capturing an entire bull pen release slow-mo. The phone is very hot obviously so this could be an issue with rapid succession of pitches and video processing. Maybe a way to pause processing and complete after session / while on charger would be advantageous. There is also some weirdness when starting the camera and trying to zoom in on hand release positioning. If you zoom too far, you end up in the wrong lens and then are unable to get back out to the better quality 240 fps lens. Maybe an option to select / switch manually instead of zooming and then opps, too far and into the next lens. Game Changer on iPad and app seem ro be hit and miss. Several instances where app must be closed, GC closed, app opened and initiated, and then open GC and get back into scoring. This causes anxiety and likely isn’t something an average user or streamer would understand how to resolve. Likely as much or more an issue on GC side but would strongly encourage taking a look and working those issue out with their Dev team. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback and for being a Pocket Radar customer. We would very much like to help as much as we can and would love for you to reach out to our customer support team via email at info@pocketradar.com. They may have some recommendations to improve your experience with our app and through our GameChanger integration. Thanks! ### 3/5 — C+ Grade *2025-07-10* I have this app because I wanted to track pitch velocity on GameChanger. Connecting the two apps was easy. The one issue I had with the GC interface is the Bluetooth range seems very small. There were several times, with the PR right behind home plate and me scoring in the dugout, it would drop connection. Annoying. I never used the video feature, as my son is not a pitcher. Regarding the PRS app itself, I would use my iPad as a monitor for those wanting to see velocity but not sitting close enough to see the small PR screen. There would be games when the app would "pause" countless times...to the point I would shut it down altogether. I would stop/start the app or do a power cycle on iPad...maybe some temporary relief. Extremely annoying!! Barely average app. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback and for being a Pocket Radar customer.

Thanks! ### 3/5 — Need radar gun *2025-07-03, version 2.3.3* I needed a radar gun which costs about 200$ and there’s no point in getting that when there is other apps that can do it just on a device. ### 1/5 — Apps not good *2025-03-04, version 2.1.6* The app freezes and won’t record. Which defeats why we purchase the smart coach. ### 3/5 — Good app but... *2025-03-02, version 2.1.6* So I just got this app I have used the smart coach Rader it asked me for my email so I did it but I did a lot and I never got the variation code So if y'all could please send it to me please. ### 1/5 — Wasted my money *2025-02-26, version 2.1.6* I purchased this and my radar is always disconnecting. I changed the batteries and it still doesn’t work. It only works for 1-2 pitches then doesn’t do anything. Super disappointed ### 2/5 — App is hot garbage *2025-02-10, version 2.1.6* The radar works great. I connect like I’m supposed to but the recording never sticks. It says it’s recording but never does. Getting real tired of this app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Completely frozen *2026-06-27, version 2.9.0* I will be returning my radar. The app is horrible, just a frozen screen after many times reinstalling. Worst app designer ever. Makes me think the unit is garbage too. ### 1/5 — Not too good *2026-04-04, version 2.6.1* This bully’s me and made me very mad at 6 in the morning and it freezes after the login it is unusable ### 1/5 — Freezes *2026-03-26, version 2.6.0* Can’t get the app to work past setting up an account ### 1/5 — Slow and cumbersome *2026-03-23, version 2.6.0* The new app is extremely slow and the session inputs overburdening. Additionally, I thought I was recording for a full session and now there is no video to be found. Bring back the legacy app please. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-03-22, version 2.6.0* I can’t figure out if my subscription is current, how to start it again and I can’t reset my password - help ### 1/5 — App no longer works. *2026-02-28, version 2.6.0* The app used to work great. Now it opens, says no radar detected, and won’t allow me to push anything or go anywhere. I’ve deleted and re-downloaded it but the same results. Pretty worthless now unfortunately. ### 1/5 — This not good *2026-02-28, version 2.6.0* Could not log in because it did not like my email ### 1/5 — Don’t record sessions *2026-01-25, version 2.5.0* Every time I record a session it doesn’t save what a waste 400 dollars and paying for the service Joke!!!! ### 1/5 — Frozen App *2025-12-29, version 2.5.0* App has been frozen for 2 months. Can’t you use the app at all, no scrolling can’t click on any buttons. It literally does nothing. No available updates, tried refreshing app, Turing phone off and on, nada. Spent $500 on a device and now the app is useless. ### 1/5 — Does not load at all *2025-12-08, version 2.5.0* I just bought a new SR1100. I installed the app but when it loads I cannot navigate there… it is frozen. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Helpful & Accurate *2025-07-12* The app is easy to use and the radar is accurate. We use it for every tournament, paired with GameChanger. Also, it has been a help to my daughter who has found her baseline for each pitch, & seen improvements. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Pocket Radar - awesome app *2025-07-11* This app and equipment has been a great addition to GC scoring. Love the integration, only thing I would like to see improved is the distance your phone or iPad can be from the radar. Typically if I get more than 15 to 20 feet away it might lose connection. Overall it is a great app! Thank you. ### 5/5 — Must have!! *2025-07-11, version 2.3.3* Great product, gets better and better with improvements. ### 5/5 — Pitcher *2025-02-07, version 2.1.6* I am a USA baseball prospect pitcher topping out at 73 with a 60 mph curve and I approve👍 ### 5/5 — Just mind boggling *2024-12-29, version 2.1.6* This product is amazing easy to setup and to get place to place it outplays all my other radars. ### 5/5 — Pockrt radar *2024-06-07, version 2.1.5* Love it ### 5/5 — The best radar *2024-05-12* I never had a game like this and I watched a video and I was like I need a radar and now I have been having it for 5 years and the progression I have made is crazy ### 5/5 — Very good *2024-04-27, version 2.1.4* W app can keep all your speeds for throwing and show people your max speed 🤩🔛🔝 ### 5/5 — Master_P *2023-12-03, version 2.1.2* This app/ device does exactly what it’s designed to do. It measures all exit velocity balls accurately all the time…. Great device !!!! ### 5/5 — Great tool *2023-03-07* We use the device for pitch development and tracking other players. Great to be able to use video with overlaid velocity from radar. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
