It's been great to work with a team that understands the science of billiards. The Predator R&D team has been testing the application along side their own speed measurement equipment and the Iron Willie robot, following a number of testing sessions, the Predator R&D team found the application so accurate that a partnership in pool science began. "The application is really spot on. During my many testing sessions with the Predator Team there was very little deviation between the Predator testing equipment and the application," said Predator Pro Mike Dechaine.

Turn your iPhone or iPad into a portable Radar Gun, accurate to +/- 0.5 MPH. I wish I had this app growing up. Radar guns were way too expensive and pitching coaches rarely encouraged "throwing hard" over "accuracy". Well, now we have iPhones and iPads capable of filming slo-mo, 240 FPS video... and we have them readily available at every game. I made this app to give every ballplayer and parent the opportunity to not only measure pitch speed, but also to analyze pitching mechanics with a very simple tool. ** APP FEATURES ** Portable Radar Gun - Load videos from your Camera Roll - Capture the release point and plate crossing video frames - Speed calculation is based on time and distance traveled - Stats accurate to +/- 0.5 MPH (slow-motion video) - Perfect for all age groups - Mound distances: 60'6", 54', 50', 48', 46', 44', 38' - Optimized for both iPhone and iPad Video Analysis - Frame-by-frame analysis of pitching mechanics ** IMPORTANT ** This app does NOT rely on your reflex time to calculate pitch speed, like many 'stop watch radar gun' apps. Instead, you will use the iPhone's powerful camera technology (preferably 240 FPS slo-mo video) to accurately capture the pitcher's release point and plate crossing, resulting in extremely repeatable pitch speed calculations.

Baseball Radar Gun + holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.9.

Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Break Speed's written reviews are positive against 60% of Baseball Radar Gun +'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
