Badminton Footwork Trainer helps athletes train their footwork for the singles event. The app announces a series of random numbers which instruct the athlete to move to the corresponding corners of the court. This kind of randomized footwork exercise helps athletes to develop a perfectly balanced "ready position" (known as the "split step"). The speed and number of corners are configurable. The app can also be used as a general-purpose, customizable random number generator.

Both are free to download. My Jump Lab sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Badminton Footwork Trainer asks for nothing beyond the download.
My Jump Lab holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Jump Lab has 257 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of Badminton Footwork Trainer's written reviews are positive against 59% of My Jump Lab's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Badminton Footwork Trainer ships an update every 7 months, My Jump Lab every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
