Very Useful App

My son and I have used this App for a while now. We used it to create a baseline for him on his. Mechanics and be able to have slow motion footage of each rep to see what areas he needs to improve and track.

Would like to make a suggestion to have the ability to just track and save the exchange/footwork without having to mark 2nd catch when utilizing an open side close up video of the catcher.

Response from developer

Thank you for the kind review! We're glad the app helps you build a baseline and track progress rep by rep. Tracking exchange and footwork without marking the 2nd catch is an interesting idea, especially for close-up side-view videos. We'll think about the best way to implement it. Thanks again for the feedback!

Must give full access to photo library

This app is great but it forces you to give it full access to your photo library which is not something I’m comfortable with. Will not be renewing until that is addressed

Response from developer

Thank you for the honest feedback — this one mattered to us. POPTime no longer needs access to your photo library. You pick a clip with the system picker and the app only ever sees that one clip; saving an export asks for add-only permission, nothing more. This is live in the latest update.

Monthly payment

I can understand the one time payment, but I think the monthly charge is outrageous for an overall basic app. I get giving the developers need there fair share, but cmon. Too bad there’s not another POPTime app on the AppStore. Shouldn’t be close to 40$ for a year of this app. 😵‍💫

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback. Poptime is built and maintained by a small independent team, and subscriptions are what keep it updated and working. There’s a free trial, so you can see if it’s worth it for you, and you can cancel anytime.

Good

Some great enhancements would be to be able to change the color of the timer on the screen (the red on a dark background is hard to see) and to be able to make the timer larger.

Response from developer

Good news — this is in the app now. You can customize the on-video overlays (size, color, position) on the export preview screen, and even save a layout once to reuse it on every video. Thanks for the suggestion — it shaped the feature.

Love the app

App is great, when will yall role out the version with velos?

Great app for catchers

I used to always wonder if using a stopwatch was accurate. Now I don’t need to wonder with the POPTIME App. Gets exchange time as well (which before was not measurable).

Doesent work

The free trial button doesent work. Tried a million times and restarted

Response from developer

Thanks for flagging this, and sorry it got in your way. The old trial flow has been reworked, so that broken button is gone in the latest version.

Worth the money

My son and I use it to gauge his poptime. Would love the ability to multi edit and or multi mark various segments.

Review

App is very easy to use and probably the most accurate way to record a pop time. Been looking for a way to not rely on some old head with slow fingers to record my pop, and this app has been a great tool.

No free version??????

I absolutely loved this app last season used it all the time, then I open it for the first time this season and no free version????? What happened it was so perfect?? Is free version coming back soon? I hope so because I’m happy to use the app but not if it costs $3 a month. It’s not worth it.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback. Measuring and export are part of the subscription — that's what funds ongoing development and the newer tools (strike zone, glove-path overlays, jog-wheel scrubbing).

POPtime REVIEW

Outstanding app for timing all elements of the catcher’s throw.

Lost my videos

I had the free version when you didn’t have to pay for it, and had multiple videos stored. When it updated to having to pay to use it at all, me AND my brother’s videos were deleted. I get app devlopment is hard, but I don’t have those videos to review and compare any more. This used to be a five star app, but I’m not going to pay for something I can do on my own with a little effort. I hope when this app makes more money and gets more downloads, the free version will return. But until then, two stars.

This is the best Catching App Yet!!!

Paid for the pro version and the measurables are incredible! Exchange time, right and left foot time to the ground, and of course “POPTime!” Highly recommended and a need to download!!!!

Response from developer

This is a permission setting on your device. To resolve this, simply go to Settings on your device; scroll down through your Apps, find POPtime and select. The next screen will show you what your permissions are in Photos. Your device is switched to "Select Photos". You want to change that to "All Photos and Videos". After this, you will be able to load any and all videos from your device into the App.

Poptime app

Great app used it all the time to help measure my pop times, until recently you have to pay to use it.

Response from developer

We are pleased to hear you like the app and found it useful. Unfortunately, developing an App costs considerable time and money. If we didn’t start charging the App would cease to be available.

Great App

I downloaded this app to work with my son and the catchers on his team. It is a great resource, easy to operate, and with the ability to mark different points it allows players to see when they are losing time. Cool app! Branden

App is amazing

I use this app on almost every one of my throw downs. Gives good statistics to help improve yourself. The setup is also very easy to use.

Good training tool

Use this all the time for all our catchers. Let’s them know where they’re at. Awesome app. Definitely recommend it!

Dynamic Baseball Performance

We absolutely love this app. We can break down all our catchers pop times and release points. It helps them see and know what they need to improve to generate a quicker pop time. It’s super accurate and easy to use.

Great App

Simple and easy to use. Great training tool.

Best baseball App to date.

If you play, Coach or have a kid that catches get this app immediately! This is the truth teller. Great features.
