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. If you're a serious player, and you don't have Break Speed Powered By Predator, what are you waiting for?

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

DigiCue App holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Break Speed has 19 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Break Speed's written reviews are positive against 0% of DigiCue App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Break Speed ships an update every 4 months, DigiCue App every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
