After that you have to end the session and start a new one. Usually once you start a new session the app crashes and you have to start over again. **Developer response:** Thanks for trying SmartPitch®. Only 1% of users have problems with SmartPitch®. Here's a much more accurate review: ★★★★★ Alex Meija - Apr 30, 2026 18:05 "Works great! I followed the instructions and it worked instantly. Sounds like a lot of the lower star reviews are user error. The distances, angles, phone position and a mount for your phone are a must as indicated in the instructions." Please contact us and we'll help you fix whatever is wrong with your setup. Thanks! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-05-05* Doesn’t work. Unless you want to get glazed by an app that doesn’t work don’t get this **Developer response:** Thanks for trying SmartPitch®. Only 1% of users have problems with SmartPitch®. Here's a much more accurate review: ★★★★★ Alex Meija - Apr 30, 2026 18:05 "Works great! I followed the instructions and it worked instantly.

Thanks! ### 1/5 — Won’t work *2025-11-22, version 4.0.1* It literally won’t work🤬 ### 1/5 — Don’t buy *2025-05-20, version 4.0.1* It was saying I was throwing the ball 10 mph and then it said 95 mph. Not worth setting up for misreads. ### 2/5 — camera *2025-04-27, version 3.0.0(2)* i dont know if i have to buy premium but whenever i try to set this up on my phone it doesnt alow the camera to line up with the pitcher and home ### 1/5 — Softball *2025-04-10* When compared to pocket radar, results are totally different! It reads an 12year old as pitching in the 65-70mph….. doesn’t matter which mode being used (game or practice), have changed light sensitivity, went and remeasured pitcher height to make sure correct…. Needless to say quite disappointed in this app. **Developer response:** We test SmartPitch continuously and it matches radar exactly when set up following the instructions. Any readings that are off are the result of setup problems, so please contact us and we will find out what's causing the mistake. In every case when someone says the speeds are not accurate, there is a setup problem. We want you to get the full power and precision of SmartPitch, so please contact us at info_and_help@smartpitchbaseball.com. Thank you! ### 1/5 — Not working with iPhone *2025-02-11* Camera does not show in app **Developer response:** Thanks for your interest in SmartPitch. The app is not designed to show you the camera. It measures speed and hitting stats with high precision and displays that live on the app. Therefore the fact that you do not see the camera or a video image on your phone when patented SmartPitch is measuring speeds does not mean it is not working. That's the way it is supposed to work. Thank you! ### 3/5 — activation process could be improved. *2024-12-19* the activation link must be opened from the phone email not desktop email. i wasted 30 minutes until i realized it. cumbersome process. lots of unnecessary bot checking also. **Developer response:** Thanks for your interest in SmartPitch! We are a tiny startup with over 300,000 installations and offer a precision sports speed gun that is #betterthanradar by giving pitching and hitting stats - Exit Velo, Launch Angle & Distance - for a tiny, almost free price of $5.99. We use email verification to register users and monitor the free trials we give all users. We're sorry if email verification seems burdensome to you, but we hope you will use SmartPitch along with our thousands of users.
