* shot con­sis­ten­cy
* shot sit­u­a­tion (off-the-drib­ble, off-the-pass, re­laxed like a free throw)

### 4/5 — Tech common sense

*2026-08-18*

Sometimes it counted misses and didn’t count makes it as well wasn’t saying it was a swish when it was a perfect swish and high arc and it said it was low arc.

Overall, my son is doing good though it’s forcing him to go outside more and shoot hoops he’s at about 500 now

**Developer response:** Thanks for sharing your feedback. Please contact our support team at support.spalding.tf-dna.app/en-US/contact and we’ll be happy to help get this resolved.

### 4/5 — Need more customization

*2026-08-14*

Very good app but could be better. I should be able to fully customize target spin rate and not have a min of 1.5.  A lot of players shoot slightly lower and that’s ok.  Also the audio feedback should give all 3 metrics not just one. If you are listening to ear buds while shooting it would be helpful to get all 3 so you don’t have to stop and look at the app.  And have the option to get the actual value read. Not just too low.  The app has so much potential though. If it could start to analyze makes and misses to find out the key variables. Like your spin rate doesn’t matter much but when your release time is faster it has a big improvement. Focus on that.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the detailed feedback! We’re always looking for ways to improve the app based on customer feedback, and your suggestions have already been shared with our team as we continue improving the experience.

### 1/5 — What the heck is this app

*2026-08-03, version 1.1.2*

Bro this app is buns it cheats me and I get 50 percent

### 4/5 — Amazing product

*2026-07-05, version 1.1.2*

This is an amazing basketball it would 100% be a five star but all it says for feedback is release angle and shot ark.

### 4/5 — HORSE

*2026-06-05, version 1.0.47*

Works well. Lots of potential. Why can’t you play HORSE with this? Seems like low fruit and a waste.

### 4/5 — Glitchy

*2026-05-30*

The app just sometimes glitches out in the middle of a session and freezes

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you for your feedback. Please contact us at https://support.spalding.tf-dna.app/en-US/contact and we’ll get this sorted.

### 3/5 — Great but not great

*2026-05-10*

But this thing just does not keep track of your distance. I have measured multiple times on a Level court, and it still says the wrong distance, disappointed, but great for young learners

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you for your feedback. Please contact us at https://support.spalding.tf-dna.app/en-US/contact and we’ll get this sorted.

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2026-05-09*

It’s a good idea to have a ball that tracks your shots but Spalding did it wrong, especially making it $250!!! It dribbles weird and kind of makes me shoot weird (to be fair I use it ouside but it still feels weird). Anyway, the app is the real thing I’m reviewing, and it is a whole other issue, it is an ok app and all but it is not worth $100 a year or whatever, unless you play tons of basketball, which I do and still think it’s not worth it. Don’t get me wrong the app itself is pretty good but it would be way cooler if there was an option to kind of 1v1 someone and see who can make more shots in a certain amount of time.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

The ball is designed to bounce just like a regular basketball. Please contact us at https://support.spalding.tf-dna.app/en-US/contact and we'll get this sorted for you right away.

We also wanted to let you know that we do have a competitive feature! You can challenge other users and compare scores in our Shootout mode, which you can find in the app under Social → Shootouts.

### 5/5 — Add feature

*2026-05-02*

After a workout, please add a feature called shot map. It shows every shot you took, and where you took it from. If you click on a shot, it shows your release time, arc, and spin rate.

### 5/5 — Yas queen

*2026-04-24, version 1.0.46*

So cool
