Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Reps don't fix your shot. Feedback does. Deep Range IQ is an on-device shooting coach that watches every rep and tells you what to fix in between shots. Set your phone on a tripod to watch you shoot. Take your normal jump shot. A tone confirms the app saw your release, and while you chase the ball down it speaks the single biggest correction in your ear. Clean shot? A quick positive tone, so you can lock in what worked. Then you shoot again. The whole loop keeps pace with the rhythm you already practice in. HOW IT WORKS • Set up the phone: tripod to the side, framed head to feet. The side view is what lets it read your mechanics. • Shoot your shot: take your normal jump shot; a tone confirms the release. • Hear one correction: the top fix is spoken while you go get the ball. • Adjust and repeat: apply it on the next rep, until you tap Stop. MEASURED TO THE DEGREE Every shot is checked against the same standard elite shooters hit: • Set Point: your elbow angle at the top before you move to release the ball; the classic shooter's "L" • Launch Angle: the arc your shot leaves on; too flat clanks, too high moons • Knee Load: how deep you load your legs on the dip to get power for your shot • Arm Extension: how fully you finish the follow-through ONE CORRECTION, NOT A SPREADSHEET Most tools bury you in numbers after the session's over. Deep Range IQ ranks every flaw by how far out of range it sits and speaks only the one that matters most in under two seconds from release to the words in your ear. FORM FIRST, ON PURPOSE It coaches your motion, not your makes. There's no basket in frame and no makes or misses to track; just the mechanics that make shots repeatable. YOUR REPS STAY YOURS Everything runs on your iPhone using Apple's Vision framework. No footage is uploaded, nothing is streamed to a server. No account, no sign-in, no cloud. Open the app and shoot. WHAT YOU NEED • An iPhone and a tripod • Headphones for the audio coaching • A side-on angle to your shot • A rack of shots to put up Best on a recent iPhone as all pose tracking runs on-device in real time; on older iPhones the camera may process at a reduced frame rate, which can lower coaching accuracy.
