However, it is definitely not the same as doing this against a real pitcher. Also, there is no way to tell the difference in this app between a changeup and a fastball, and you just have to take a wild guess. It is a decent app, but I would recommend practicing with someone else outside if possible. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Area to put email in not big enough *2024-11-17, version 1.18* I couldn’t even use the app because my email was too long for the space where I had to put down my email to sign up. ### 1/5 — Bad *2022-10-05, version 1.15* Not good ### 1/5 — VERY buggy *2022-07-06, version 1.15* I had this app at one point and it worked just fine. No bugs no glitches but then all of the sudden when I tried opening the app it froze and never opened so I deleted it and reinstalled it and again it started working just fine until today. Now it either kicks me out or (it rarely kicks me out) sometimes it doesn’t let me start the career mode and when it does sometimes there a small yellow dot on the softball that really stands out and it eventually crashes the game. :( One other thing… its saying I have 0 high school hits. It’s showing my little league, college, professional and Olympic hits just not my high school hits. Anyways that’s all I have to say. Please please please get it fixed bc I don’t want this app to be a waist of time and money ### 1/5 — Spins not accurate *2022-04-29, version 1.15* The left and right symbols are reversed, so the softball screwball spin in wrong, and so is the curveball spin. ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2020-08-17, version 1.11* First of all, the changeup (4 and 2 seam) spin is the same as their fastball counterparts for orientation, so it’s impossible to differentiate the two. The other major problem is the curveball has slider spin with 0% spin efficiency. ### 2/5 — doesnt work *2026-05-27, version 1.18* i just got the app and i tried putting my email and its not even letting me type in my whole email. havent tried it yet and its just not letting me sign up. ### 2/5 — it’s okay *2020-08-14, version 1.8* it’s alright but the 4 seam fastball and 4se changeup are way too similar and unrealistic ### 2/5 — 🤨 *2020-08-14, version 1.8* Fix the change up. It’s identical to the fastball ### 3/5 — Good game *2022-06-09* Wish there was more of a story to it other then take 5 pitches and then u move up a rank until the majors which just seem to go on which makes it very reparative and boring once you start playing a hit ### 3/5 — Spins of Pitches *2020-08-22, version 1.11* 2 Seam FB, 4 Seam FB, and Slider have the correct spins, but the curveball spin isn’t right. It’s not suppose to spin like a bullet, the slider is. Curveballs are 2-8, 1-7, 12-6 spin, sometimes 1-8 or 2-7. Also Changeups don’t spin like a FB unless you throw a Split Change or something close to that. It’s either a Split Change, Circle Change, 3-finger Change, or Vulcan Change. Split and Vulcan are the closest ones to a FB spin. I know it’s nitpicking, but it’d be a way better app if these changes were implemented. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Perfect app for new and expert batters *2023-07-31, version 1.15* Amazing platform to develop new batters and expert very simple and easy to use ### 5/5 — Love this app *2023-07-31, version 1.15* Great way to kill time and help improve my game. ### 5/5 — Very Realistic *2023-07-26, version 1.15* If you grip it different, it’s going to look different so each pitch coming at you looks pretty realistic to me. It is said that this is real analytics and real RPMs. Feels and looks like a Homerun to me. ### 5/5 — Seam readers *2022-07-01, version 1.15* Very good app ### 5/5 — 4seamer *2021-04-25, version 1.14* Excellent ### 5/5 — Much needed app! *2020-04-16, version 1.1* I love how this can be a way hitters can get mobile batting practicing for bus rides or just hanging out! Instead of the dumb drill of having a dot on a ball and make pretending it’s a curveball in practice lol ### 5/5 — Awesome and smooth! *2020-04-15, version 1.1* Love the game play and the animations! The ballers are a great touch, and really help to personalize the game. ### 5/5 — Amazing. *2020-04-11, version 1.0* This game is Awesome, love the ballers. ### 5/5 — Learning Baseball *2020-04-05, version 1.0* I know nothing about the game. But learned that baseball is more complex than I thought. Fun but challenging game. ### 4/5 — App Size *2020-04-11, version 1.0* Why is this 2 GB? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
