Introducing ShotBot, the easy-to-use app that tracks your basketball shooting progress. ShotBot combines artificial intelligence and computer vision technology with the camera in your smart phone or tablet to gather and store useful data about your basketball shooting sessions. Simply set your phone down on the side of the court and start the app to begin tracking your progress. Each shot you take is converted into a single image that captures it all: your release form, your launch angle and speed, the path of the ball, the result (make or miss), the shot location, and other useful stats. Past sessions are reviewable at any time. A graph of your session history shows how your past sessions compare to your current one. You can even load an old shooting video into ShotBot and it will analyze it as if it is live. Have a session or shot you are proud of? ShotBot has a built-in share function that lets you easily share with your friends or coach. Designed with convenience in mind, ShotBot stores your data in the cloud, so you won't lose it if you get a new phone or accidentally delete the app. It also lets you sync your data across multiple devices, so you can record a session with your phone and review it later at home on your larger-screened iPad. If you are a basketball player or coach, this is the app you have been waiting for! Use it to find out your shooting percentage, or to see the areas on the court where your shot needs to improve, or to learn if your release angle is too low. If you are a coach, you can actually get proof that your players have gone home and practiced. You can even use it to keep score in a pick-up game! Find out how ShotBot can help your game today! The app is free to download and use, and it will allow you to record a limited number of sessions. For a small one-time in-app purchase fee, you can capture and review unlimited sessions and games. Try it now!
