### 2/5 — Must give full access to photo library

*2026-04-03, version 2.3*

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

### 2/5 — Monthly payment

*2024-10-01, version 2.1*

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. 😵‍💫

### 4/5 — Good

*2024-06-17, version 1.8*

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.

### 5/5 — Love the app

*2024-02-09, version 1.8*

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

### 5/5 — Great app for catchers

*2024-01-16, version 1.8*

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).

### 1/5 — Doesent work

*2023-08-29, version 1.8*

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

### 4/5 — Worth the money

*2023-07-11, version 1.8*

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

### 5/5 — Review

*2023-06-21, version 1.8*

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.

### 2/5 — No free version??????

*2023-04-04, version 1.8*

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.

### 5/5 — POPtime REVIEW

*2022-11-10, version 1.8*

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

## Frequently asked questions about Poptime

### What does Poptime do?

Poptime allows you to load videos from your device and precisely mark specific moments, such as catch and release points. This enables you to calculate important metrics like pop times and exchange times for sports performance analysis.

### How can I mark specific moments in my videos?

You can scroll through your videos frame by frame to pinpoint the exact moments you want to mark. This includes being able to mark the reception of a pitch even when the catcher's back is to the camera and the glove is not visible.

### Is Poptime free to use?

The app is free to download and use, but it offers in-app purchases. These purchases likely unlock additional features or advanced functionalities beyond the basic marking and saving capabilities.

### Who would benefit from using Poptime?

This app is ideal for baseball and softball players, coaches, and analysts who want to meticulously review game or practice footage. It helps in understanding and improving player mechanics and reaction times.

### Can I share my analyzed videos?

Yes, you can save the videos with your marked points directly to your phone. This allows you to easily share them with coaches, teammates, or friends for discussion and review.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.4 — 2026-06-18

• Your privacy matters: POPTime no longer needs access to your photo
    library. Pick a video and the app only ever sees the clips you choose.
    Saving an export now asks for add-only permission — nothing more.

  • Receiving mode just got smarter: visualize the glove trajectory and
    overlay a strike zone to break down every catch frame by frame.

  • Export is now more reliable: fixed a failure that could interrupt
    export when the screen locked, and the screen now stays awake until
    your video is saved.
  
  • Faster export and overall performance improvements.
