Sometimes a pitch will be judged as a fastball when it is clearly an offspeed pitch and vice versa. Can we add strike zone recognition to the baseball mode?! ### 4/5 — When *2020-08-06, version 1.2.3* I really appreciate that you show that basketball is up next but I saw u told somebody basketball was coming in July and it’s now August and still not available. I really wanna get into basketball to sharpen my skills **Developer response:** We are in the process of designing our basketball program and more information will be available at a later time. Thank you for your continued patience. Please feel free to contact support@mambarise.com for more information. ### 4/5 — Basketball *2020-07-24, version 1.2.2* When is basketball going to come out? ### 4/5 — Waiting *2020-07-10, version 1.2.1* This app is great I played around with it a little on football but I’m a basketball player so I just want to know when basketball is coming out on this app. **Developer response:** Hi! Basketball will be releasing this month. If you'd like early access please email support@sarise.app and provide your name with account email you used to register for the app. Thank you for your patience! Sincerely, SA RISE Team ### 4/5 — Great app *2020-06-12, version 1.2.1* It’s a great app even if I don’t play football I have to choose that rn since basketball ain’t in and that’s the sport I play plus ain’t $14 a lil high just for a subscription??? Plus where’s basketball now **Developer response:** Hi! Basketball will be releasing this month. If you'd like early access please email support@sarise.app and provide your name with account email you used to register for the app. Thank you for your patience! ### 4/5 — Mamba rise *2020-05-03, version 0.10* I like the idea but I’m really just eating for basketball do you have any idea when it will be out ### 3/5 — It ok *2020-04-27, version 0.10* I play 3 sports soccer, basketball, and softball I only get to practice one of my sports and it really bothers me that I can’t practice 2 of the main sports I love. ### 3/5 — Confused *2020-04-25, version 0.10* When will the Basketball part work?, as of now it says “coming soon”. ### 4/5 — Basketball & Soccer *2020-04-22, version 0.10* I’m a 2 sport athlete, when can I see that soccer and basketball will be available? ### 4/5 — Great *2020-04-20, version 0.10* I wish I could have more access to the app without paying but overall great ### 4/5 — Decent *2020-04-16, version 0.10* Great but you can’t do everything until you pay premium and the pop ups are kind of annoying ### 3/5 — Great idea but.... *2020-04-15, version 0.10* For an app centered around Kobe (Black mamba), I am shocked that basketball hasn’t been made yet!!! ### 4/5 — Helpful *2020-04-14, version 0.10* Pretty good with skills and tutorials but needs more skills to accomplish. Other than that it’s pretty well with helping with all sports on both sides of the ball. ### 3/5 — Basketball? *2020-04-14, version 0.10* I know it is coming, but I simply can’t find my sport. ### 3/5 — Basketball? RIP KB. *2020-04-12, version 0.10* When will basketball be released ? It’s almost been a year we’ve been waiting. ### 3/5 — Good, not great *2020-04-12, version 0.10* If things were free, it would make it even better ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Given up *2022-11-28, version 1.2.9* I remember seeing this app and thinking how good it would be to help me train for basketball. When I got it, Basketball still wasn’t out yet but it said coming soon so I kept the app and waited. After remembering the app even exists a while back I went and checked again only to see that it said coming next. I kept waiting and waiting but after all this time there is still no basketball. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YEARS. My idea is that the devs for this app gave up on it completely. The last update was 2 years ago. ### 1/5 — Basketball *2020-12-11, version 1.2.4* Add basketball ### 1/5 — Basketball *2020-10-24, version 1.2.4* I have had this app since mid March and you have said you were going to release basketball and you still haven’t. I have been checking the app everyday and it still hasn’t come. It was supposed to be released months ago. You said it was going to be released in July, it’s almost November. ### 1/5 — Basketball *2020-06-25, version 1.2.1* Wish there were basketball ### 1/5 — Doesn’t load *2020-05-30, version 1.2* Was excited to use this app but it won’t load. I made an account tried to log in, but it stayed on the loading screen for 10 minutes. I have deleted the app 5 times and re downloaded it and used the try it option but also won’t load. If I go back into the app it won’t load so I have to delete it. My phone is not the problem and neither is my Wi-Fi. **Developer response:** Thanks for leaving this review. You may have encountered a rare bug that has been updated. Please email support@sarise.app so that we can help improve your experience with the app. ### 1/5 — It won’t even start *2020-05-29, version 1.2* I can’t sign in at all. It won’t load. No matter what even good connection so I gave it a one star ### 1/5 — Doesnt work *2020-04-10, version 0.10* It literally doesnt let me use the app. Can load in to where it lets me create an account and doesnt let me go any further. ### 1/5 — Wrong *2020-04-08, version 0.10* I haven’t gone through every sport on here but for at least the free to play football section, the information is wrong. In a drill designed to match run strength on plays where there are 2 tight ends to the left side and 2 wide to the right, the game claims that’s a balanced look. It’s not. The double tight ends would make it strong left. Poorly researched for the parts I played. I’d give it one star but Kobe’s name is on it. **Developer response:** Hi there. Thanks for giving our application a try. Please email us at support@mambarise.com. We want to make sure we our reps are high-quality. We would be happy to put you in touch with our football systems expert to sort this out. ### 1/5 — Please cancel *2019-10-29, version 0.10* I never signed up for this. Please cancel ### 1/5 — Lacrosse *2019-10-01, version 0.8* When is lacrosse coming ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great tool for getting a mental edge on your competition *2021-01-02, version 1.2.4* As a QB this app is everything I want. Will there be updates with more content for QB’s soon? ### 5/5 — Great app *2020-12-01, version 1.2.4* Great app but missing basketball. :) ### 5/5 — Amasing *2020-05-06, version 0.10* So good I love it ### 5/5 — Judgement *2020-04-28, version 0.10* Has helped me a lot with judging pitches and has significantly shown in games ### 5/5 — Needs *2020-04-27, version 0.10* I like it but I need the soccer and basketball feature as soon as possible ### 5/5 — Review on the game *2020-04-21, version 0.10* THIS IS A REALLY COMPETITIVE APP FOR SPORTS. ITS REALLY GOOD TO GET YOU ALERT ON YOUR SPORT AND POSITON. ### 5/5 — Great *2020-04-15, version 0.10* This is a great app but I only wish there was a pitching program ### 5/5 — Helps *2020-04-08, version 0.10* If you play any sports this app really helps you learn the routine of it ### 5/5 — Great app *2020-04-07, version 0.10* This app will create great habits for your baseball hitters!! ### 5/5 — Helps a lot *2020-04-01, version 0.10* This app makes me think faster and smarter about my hitting!
