Software Reviews and Criticism

  Not bad (updated review)

  After some initial glitches to get it to work on my watch, I’ve now used it a couple of times for some hitting sessions/clinics. It sometimes misreads shots - interpreting overheads as serves, but honestly that should be expected to some degree. It also misinterpreted some other shots (volleys as flat forehands, or sometimes calling a forehand a backhand) but I would say it gets it right about 85-90% of the time, which I think is a pretty good number for a watch based swing tracker. It’s cool to look over the data after you’re done and see what a hit by hit breakdown types of shots you hit, the MPH and RPM of those shots, and the other data available to you. It’s nice that it also tells you what you need to work on and what you did well post-session/match. I’m going to keep it and see if it continues to learn my game and get better. I think it’s worth a shot if you’re really into digging into the data behind your game and how to apply that data to improve.

  Holy smokes!!!

  This app may be the only good thing to come out of 2020. I’m not sure I’ve ever actually written an app review, but this one deserves it. Incredible use of AI — and it doesn’t feel like a clunky “early” version of cool technology at all. It’s seamless, from making it really easy and obvious how to set it up (even including which equipment I can use), to scary accurate shot tracking and analysis, to a single tap for cloud recording so my device doesn’t fill up with video. I’ve already been able to improve my game because it’s so easy to see now how I play at a holistic level. Could not be more impressed. I hope everybody at the company sees this: Fantastic work you guys. Please keep it up! I will keep telling everyone I know who plays tennis about this app.

  Love it so far! Just a few things...

  This app is fantastic and I’m very impressed with how well the AI processes the video. I only have two complaints: 1. There seems to be a problem with the Microsoft Watch-iPhone recording integration. I try to have the two sync up (so that I can more easily favorite certain rallies). But whenever I try to initialize the match on my watch, it tells me to go to the record section of the iPhone app, which I do, but then nothing happens after that. There isn’t an Microsoft Watch prompt. 2. I’m perfectly happy paying $60 a year for the semipro option. I think that’s completely fair given how well the app works. But it would be truly fantastic if you allowed 1080p/30fps or at least 720p/60fps recording at that price point. Going up to $120 per year for those increases in quality is rather pricey.

  Best tennis app I’ve ever used!

  For so long I had been waiting for an app like this one! It’s hard to find players to hit with nearby where I live. This app has been perfect for helping me find other players in my area who are a similar skill level as me. The in-app messaging system makes it easy to schedule practices/matches. The app’s design layout is also very intuitive. The recommendations I get from Swing Pro help target areas of my game that need improving. Each week I look at my match stats and see where I need most improvement and make that my focus for the week. Within a year of using the app I’ve gone from a 3.0 to a 4.0! I recommend it to any tennis player or coach!
