It’s great!. When I first tried it I thought it wasn’t gonna work but it works perfectly, and it reads accurately! I love keep improving and thank you.

Great product - excellent support!. Does a good job of keeping track of our pitches and charting them out. Love that you can see each if the pitches in a graph and see how long you worked. Great support when the app wasn't showing good results. Continued follow up until the problem was correct!

App doesn’t work for most things. You’ll waste your free uses when you’re not meaning to clock something. When you mean to clock something, it won’t work. Terrible app.

Crashes when is says the speed.. Crashes every time it says a speed for baseball. I have tried it at multiple baseball fields and it still crashes. I have reset my phone, deleted the app and reinstalled. Nothing works. Also I tried emailing them and got no response. Very disappointing and a waste of $12.

Do not by this app👎🏻. I’m 9 and it said I threw a wiffle ball 154 mph

Great App!. The app can indeed detect fast serves. I got several that were over 80 mph. One key is that it requires bright outdoor sunlight to work properly. Short of a $2000 radar gun, this is the best app for checking on and improving your tennis serve speed. Great, ingenious app!

Great app! Easy and accurate.. My friend set it up at Golden Gate Park with the Varsity Boys Gateway High School Baseball team. They threw pitches for over half an hour and it picked up virtually every one. Ten kids lined up to test their throws and then kept getting back in line. Most kids threw in the 50s. The pitcher threw as high as 69mph. Even a girl from the stands came down and threw in the 40s. Then one kid on the team, who wasn't even a pitcher, threw a 78 mph ball. The kids gasped and thought it was a mistake - but then he threw them again and again. He had no idea he had such a great arm. The pitcher said, "you should try out! We need more pitchers!" The team was second in the league at the time. It makes you wonder how many other kids out there have hidden talent and don't even realize it! Not sure why the other reviewer had a problem. Just be sure no one moves during the pitch if they are standing in view of the device. At 10x cheaper than the least expensive radar out there - this is a great app!

Accurate. Was Gr8

Get the app and buy your sport. I’m sure everyone has looked for this especially for something like baseball and I can say that it’s pretty accurate so BUY IT it’s worth the money

Love it but... I love this app and they make it so easy to set up and get started Burt it needs an update bad. I’ve had the same version for four or five years and I haven’t had a single update notification. But still a great app for measuring speed. I use it all the time to see how I’m improving on in my pitches in baseball which I like to pride in. Thank you!

Very cool app!. I took the app to my kid's tennis match. When I put my iPad on the ground on a nearby court where kids were practicing and it started showing the serve speeds, everyone was interested and we all thought it was cool and useful. I tried the GameLink too - very clever feature! Awesome app!!!

Amazing. When i first tried it out i thought it would be really bad and not work. When i actually started to hse the ball it told me the speed and even put slow motion videos into my camera so i could see my shot in slow motion this is an amazing app.

Well played, Athla!. This app is a great find for those looking to improve their game. Very well designed and easy to use. Once set up, I didn't want to leave the court so that I could try to beat my highest score *one last time*. Game on, Velocity... Game on!

No way this is accurate. I tried this with my tennis serve. I was pounding serves and the app said the speeds were between 45 and 65 MPH. There is no way.

Great tool!. I've used this app many times with my 11yo select player. If you set it up exactly how the directions tell you to, you will see how great and accurate the app works. It's also a great motivator. When my son doesn't want to work bullpen, I tell him i'll set up the radar and we can see if he can beat his fastest throw. That usually gets him off the couch. It's also great because I can see his fastball progress (he can hit 60 regularly) but when working on his change up, it's good to have a quantifiable tool to show him how much slower his change should be from his fastball. We aim for 45 mph and ensure mechanics are the same as the fastball. Without this app, it would be a lot of guessing about what it working and what isn't. Highly recommend the full app.

Great in perfect settings. Ok so this app would probably be great in a perfect setting not good for in game radaring you need to be in a well lit area so practice at night it works but maybe at 50% and i think the timing is a little off Heres an example my son who is 12 probably can throw a baseball around 45-50 mph the radar gun would slip about 40% of the time and say he just through 93mph or 110mph lol there is no way he can throw that hard and its constantly freezing i feel like i wasted 15$ on this for nothing

Crapy App. I got this app worked fine 2 years ago but now i can gamelink is not working on my Ipad .. the voice “get ready you can start and speed readings not working either”” I sent a ton of emails to support they never respond.. Gonna get my money back .. if you are serious developing and commercializing and app .. be serious with your support not even a reply of the reviews from support to customers..

As accurate as professional radars!!!. This app is crazy cool. I have used professional Doppler radars before and Velocity is just as accurate, easier to use, and doesn't cost $1,000. I highly recommend this app for any baseball pitchers or tennis players. Could definitely see it being useful for the other sports available in the app. Can't wait to see how this app evolves as the iPhone processing power improves.

Outstanding. App does everything it says. Me and my son used it in our back yard with a fence and trees without a problem. I will say that you need light. We tried it outside the first day around 8:30 pm and didn't get the results. The next day we were back out there around 4 and worked like a charm. We both love it

Wow. This app is awesome. It just took a while to set up the location of the phone but after that, it worked so well. This is so much more affordable than a real radar gun and in has the same accuracy.

Bananana. It’s very good for baseball but make sure you set it up good cause it can read weird

Picky. Have a tough time using this outdoors if there's any type of breeze blowing. The app tells me that there's too much motion going on so won't take a reading. If the phone is moving at all then you will not be able to get a reading. So it's not that often that I can go out on the field and bot have some type of breeze that will disrupt the phone. It's very hard to read the screen on the iPhone after a ball goes by. The brightness of the readout numbers between the background is not very good. The best thing to do is link between two smart phones so you can have the reading in your hand as seen the ads instead of trying to read the one that's on the ground.

Accurate. I’ve used this app this past summer to see how fast my 10 year old pitches. I just purchased a small radar device and in comparison this app is very accurate for pitches down the middle of the plate. If he misses to the phone side it reads a little fast and if he misses to the far side away from the phone it reads a little slower. As long as you are throwing down the middle and the phone is exactly 20 feet to the side it is very accurate. Great for seeing how fast your fastball is.

Impressive speed radar from iPhone. I measured app against tennis speed radar item called netplayz and got similar readings. So $11 for the app or $100+ for radar gun or tool. Very impressed. 4.5 tennis player. I use it for serve and measuring different strokes and seeing speed variation.

Why advertise. I downloaded the app twice, but was never able to purchase any shots. If it doesn’t work, why advertise it?

Trash. This App DooooDoooo

App has bug. When clicking “choose the sport to purchase” nothing happens when clicking on the soccer ball. I imagine is a GUI bug. If the GUI does not work properly I wonder what else does not work. Sorry I’m kind of hard on my review, but I wasted a good half an hour playing with it and as the saying goes “ time is money”

For the red light issues. For anyone who has issues with the red light (most complaints are about this this), you can't hold this in your hand. You MUST set it down. Lean it up against your water battle. I have NEVER had a Red Light issue when it was on the ground. Nobody has steady enough hands to hold their iphone or ipad still enough to make it work. Don't make it harder on yourself. Set it down, walk away and let it do its job

Waste of Money. Couldn't get this thing to work AT ALL. Paid $8 for baseball, nothing. No matter where I placed my phone, no matter how it positioned, never got one single reading -- always an error about too much motion. Funny that there is a video on the company's website that shows the primary camera being used, yet the app only uses the front camera. And there is ZERO visibility to where you are pointing the phone because there is no picture displayed back, only the black screen ready to display speed - yet but the blinking red dot saying "too much motion" I can't believe the total lack of anything useful. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS MESS.

Doesn’t work for hockey. It doesn’t even see the puck, except for when it rolls back out of the net at 18 mph. Have to purchase pro for high speeds. Free version only goes to 40 mph. Complete waste of my time. Thanks a lot.

Ummmm.... Awesome!. What a great application and tool! Super simple to setup (be sure to check out the very helpful videos) and very accurate. Not only does it help me with coaching my son but also our 10U travel team. I purchased the pay version within 20 minutes!!

Just didn’t work at all. Not much to say. Followed the instructions. Inconsistent readings. I’m sure some may have had better luck. I won’t I don’t recommend. I just won’t use this app.

D. Very accurate

Great for hockey.. I don't know what the negative reviews are talking about, this app is awesome. I've used it on ice and my outdoor training area at home. High quality, shows a lot of information. Fun to use. Definitely a great training tool as well. My ice hockey coach has a high tech hand held police grade radar gun for clocking in our shot speeds so we decided to put this app to the test and it didn't fail. If it wasn't exactly the same reading then it was within a tenth of a mph. Didn't expect an iPhone app to work so well. Highly recommended! For fun and for ice hockey training.

Seriously?. this app asked me a zillion questions, made me watch an online video telling me how I tie into a bunch of devices I don’t use, and I still can’t find how to get the radar gun to work. The only feature not on hyperdrive with info was the email for help which appears to be down. Waste of time.

Great. Nice

Glitch caused me to lose $12. This app glitched when I was exploring the settings so I tried to double click the home button to reset the app, but when doing so it read my fingerprint and used it for a $12 in app purchase. I do not even know what I bought and I am not happy that poor design lead me to lose $12 to this app I was planning on deleting.

Is a bad app. This app is very misleading

Not happy. Why didn’t you get back to me whenI told you that I couldn’t download your product? I’m still waiting to hear back from you. Kind of ruined my tennis tournament.

It’s doing something. After using it for tennis 3x now I found out that if you serve closer to the middle the speeds are slower and not by a little. I’m doing pretty much the same serve and it goes from 60’s to 130’s when I’m close to the sideline. No where in the instructions does it mention this. So there is no real way to get an accurate read unless you have a radar gun and and try to sync up the speed and remember your serve location and camera placement. Even though it would be nice to have 136mph serve. Thanks for the ego boost mr. not so accurate app!

Don't buy the upgrade. Downloaded thinking I could clock my sons pitch speed in game. Found out I had to purchase an upgrade to unlock speeds over 40. Purchased the upgrade. Next, I find out the camera has to be set up 20ft in front and 20ft to the side in order to work! This should be clearly stated before the upgrade not after!!! Don't spend the money unless u wanna just check bullpen!

Never been accurate on multiple phone generations. I’ve had this app since IPhone 6. I’m now up to an IPhone 11. Same inaccuracy. My sun throws baseball about 70. He is 16. It registered today at 46mph with meticulous measurement for where to place the car hone.

Found the right arm slot. I got the app to check the difference between my fastball & off-speed pitches. Had some initial problems getting it to work without internet access, but Mike Gillam worked with me to get it sorted out. Great customer service! Took my IPad out to the local field to test it out. Warmed up at 39-45 mph and worked up to 77-79 mph. Not too shabby for a 61 yr. old grandpa. Off-speed pitches were 59-66. The app helped me find the best arm slot for this old body. Pitched a 4-hit shutout in my next senior league game. Thanx Mike & the team at Athla!

Excellent. I'm giving this five stars because it seems to actually work. my primary use is for tennis and I get consistent readings and it is ACCURATE. It becomes a lot easier to use after watching the videos. Love it so far.

Awesome. Best time gun ever

Idea is great but.... I suspect the actual maximum detectable speed on a 5s is about 70 mph. I placed it exactly in the best recommended spot with no movement in the background and it only detected 4 slow second serves between 65-69mph. It didn't pick up any of the many faster serves and even some slower experimental serves. I would say detection rate is about 10% and I have no way to test accuracy as I have no reference radar to compare to but it seems strange all detected balls were within 5mph range. I'll have to play with it some more try placing the phone higher maybe and closer or farther from the trajectory of the ball but for now I can only give it 2 stars in the hopes that it will develop into something useful.

Mine worked at first then.... Mine worked at first it was pretty accurate but once I bought something everything started glitching out, either I want my money back or fix it

Free Version Max 35 mph. I downloaded the free version to give it a try. The max my daughter hit was 35. She has been clocked at 43-48 with a radar gun. Now I know that they say the max for the free is 40 mph. My expecations was to see the app do whatever it does when the speed is ABOVE the max(aka say "over Max", "Be blank" or just read the max number "40"). I got a few questions into their support to see why the free was only hitting 35 when my daughter has hit 45 mph. It could be explained, so I am not going to give this a bad review, but won't give it a great reveiw until I hear back from them . It definately does detect the ball speed. Her change up was slower than her fast ball. I threw some slow ones and it read 22mph. I just don't know how accurate it is. It could be a good tool just to say "You are faster than that person" or "Your change up is X mph slower than your fast ball". SO 3 stars it is. Until I hear back from them. UPDATE: I heard back from the company, within a few hours. If you don't send a friend request/email, the max speed for free app is 35. It goes up to 40 after friend request. When the speed is higher, it says "Greater than 40", but displays 40. It is enough to for me to buy the full version.

Definitely a fun app for the family!. I saw an article on this app written up by Inc. Magazine and just had to try it out. I had a little pitching contest with my nieces and nephews while they were in town for a visit. To my surprise my 16 year old niece was able to pitch almost as fast as me! (her marathon running, gold metal athlete uncle) I definitely recommend downloading this app. It was easy to use and a lot of fun for my family. Who knows, maybe you'll find some hidden talent in yours…! I can only imagine that users with negative reviews either didn't watch the setup tutorials or are trying to use the app in environments with too much background movement because it works great for me!

This app works GREAT!. It was picking up my serves in the low 100’s with no problems. I was looking for a way to work on my tennis serve and this app picks up about 85%-90% of my serves. I was using an iPad 4 on a stand placed at the intersection service line and the sideline. Personally I found this works best with the iPad at about a 15-20% angle and if you don’t serve it too wide… Give this app a shot and you will NOT be disappointed. Great job Athla!

No Km/h setting. Are you willing to go global? Where is the Km/h or even m/sec setting? Not interested by MPH...

86miles. I am faster than ronaldo suiiiiiii 86 miles/hour and I’m 15

Radar wont work after update. I am using an IPad 2. Before updating the app, i was able to test the speed of my cricket ball. After updating, a menu pops up saying that my device isn't compatible for using the radar. I paid $18 to use the cricket and tennis radar and now it doesn't work.

Very poor app. This app continually shuts down after counting down to start. I have the latest iPhone with more than enough power to complete the task asked of it. Great idea but has never worked. A real shame!!!

Actually. IT IS a giant ad!

Are U kidding?. Where is the App? This is just an ad. For that reason alone I will never try it. FAKE

Hockey!!!!. This app works really well but it needs to include a setting for hockey. I will certainly buy the full version when hockey comes out!

Terrible. I throw it and it crashed every single time

Amazing app!. If you want to know fast you throw, this app is for you!

It Needs hockey. I would 100% buy the full version if hockey was included,

Jon Gill. Not nearly as good as it promised. The ad showed side by side results of the app working perfectly but it didn’t read it the same for me.

Freeze. Whenever i go to the camera it freezes on me. Idk why. But if it didnt i would love it

HOCKEY?!. Add a hockey setting!!

Great app, works when used properly. It took some getting used to, but once the distance and angle were figured out it worked like a charm. Little expensive, but cheaper than a radar gun.

doesn't work. can't rate it. plain and simple, doesn't work at all. don't bother purchasing full version which is super expensive.

Wow. The technology that went into this is impressive. The comparison with a radar gun really shows how accurate this can be. You need a ton of light, so make sure you use it outside.

Stay away!. Not used like a real radar gun - set up is absurd Save your money

Not free. Only free for kids 8 and under. The free version is only for speeds up to 40 mph. They say "free upgrade" if u share the app with others and again it only goes up to 40 mph. Other than that it's ok.

Don't buy!. I bought the app and the next day it wanted me to buy it again, ripoff. I set it up as per I instructions for softball. 20 ft and 20 ft and the speed is at least 8-10 mph off. It is consistent, however; it doesn't show the correct speed the ball is traveling. The app needs much more work before it will meet it's advertise goal.

Great app. Used this app playing @ Balboa Tennis club. Always wondered my serve speed. 80mph. Fun way to compare your serve speed with friends.

Awesome!!. Works just like a $1200 gun. They also have a great partnership with one of the best trainers in MLB. Pitchharder. Video analysis offered through this app is spot on.

App. App is very cool could you add lacrosse please.

Amazing. At first I wouldn't get a reading. I emailed athla and they got back to me in a flash. Finally worked very satisfied. Worth the money.

DO NOT GET IT!!!!. It does not even work it will not track any speeds and it keeps getting stuck. Also it keeps crashing its a horrible app.

Very limited and difficult to use. For baseball, you can't use during a game since you need to be on the field. Must hold phone absolutely still to use. Was not accurate for me.

Trash. I can’t see speeds over 35 mph

Horrendous, awful, bad , etc. How on earth do u work this.....Either I dont know what to do or it is awful, probably awful

Garbage. It was impossible to use outside and it would only go up to 35 don't get

Excellent for personal metrics!. This has been an excellent tool for improving my tennis serve--I highly recommend it for anyone looking to measure their performance.

Lack of support. Lack of updates, esp for newer model phones, wish I would have not spent the money on in app purchase.

Crap. Don’t waste your time. Nothing over 40 mph and I couldn’t get that to work.

Awesome - works great. This is not an app. It's a full blown multi-sport speed detection / radar system. It works flawlessly. I would have gladly payed $50 for it.

BS!. This app is crappy, and it charged me after offering free if I invited friends!

Now working on iPhone 6. Forgot to post last time. The last update before this one, fixed the app. I got no reading before and now it works! I accurately got my sons speed in a bullpen. One recommendation is add something to help with setup angle. That took the most adjustments to get right.

Awesome. Really works!! Watch the video on how to setup and it works perfectly! Best app on the App Store. I used it for tennis. AWESOME!!!!

Junk. Don't buy it.

waste. wasted my money

Do not buy. This app doesn't work. It doesn't truly track speed and gives a random speed

Fun app. Love it. Use if for my daughter pitching fast pitch softball. Seems consistent and fairly accurate.

Amazing App!. Amazing App! Just downloaded.. Be sure to watch the set up videos... Definitely helped. Works great!! Thanks !!

Bogus. This is a bogus title to the app,one should not title an app "velocity free" when you read a paragraph and then they ask for money in Order to actually use it. If I could rate this no star I would.

Really Bad. Even though this app is free it is truly a waste off time, I was seeing if I could measure the speed of a soccer ball, but I could not do anything😥, nothing not even x-out and go back to the main screen.

Very inaccurate do not buy!!!. If you are attempting to use this for baseball, absolutely do not buy!! Tried using app at every angle and always read 15-20 mph slow...often did not even read the speed. I used this app on high school pitcher pitching a bullpen and it always read from 54-59 mph... Trust me they do not throw 54-59mph. Waste of money and time

Don't download. This app is horrible I dumped $12 into it and came back 2 days later and says that I still need to pay to unlock speeds over 40mph. Plus even when I tried using it, it never said any speed.

Disappointed. I wanted to test tennis serves and swings. It seemed to work well but the free version only checks to 40 mph. You need to pay 11.99 to get any faster speed.

Terrible.. This don’t work, I am requesting my money back. What a waste. Do not waste your time on this app

Works great. Saw this app on Facebook and decided to give it a try. I have a Bushnell Velocity gun that I normally use during baseball practice or my 13 yr old son's pitching practice. This app is way better and much easier to use. I purchased the higher velocity in app purchase ($11.99) due to my son throwing harder than 35-40 mph. The regular app is free. Set up was super easy (they have an instructional video if you need it). Based on their side by side comparison video (YouTube), it's more accurate than my Bushnell gun too. The Bushnell gun didn't readout about 25% of the time, and so far, this app hasn't missed once! My son tried off speed, fastballs and breaking balls, and it picked up every pitch from the mid 40s to the upper 60s. This app works great!

Awesome.....When it recognises that it's purchased. Very consistent with good lighting. Sometimes does not recognize that its been purchased. Also, only good for about 25-30 pitches before it locks up.

Unsuccessful. Tried to use the app in our backyard. We followed the instructions to a T and never got one reading on the radar. It kept reading too much motion, even when it was on the ground like it said in the instructions.

Velocity app. This app is lots of fun! The speed seems to be very consistent and it is easy to use!

Horrible. Set up doesn't work and they ask you to upgrade even after I paid $11.99.

Looking for to trying it out. Going to try it with tennis and baseball this week. We'll see how well it works. Developer finally contacted to help, we will try again.

Idk if it's free or not. Idk

Love the app. Great app for all sports

Buggy. App is buggy.can’t click contact us in help.can’t click on sports when buying shots.

Doesnt work. It appears you have to be EXACT on its placement, or its not accurate. Not able to place it there for game use obviously. Wasted $11.99.

Great. Been using this app for 3 months and able to build up my pitchers speed by 3-5 mph faster.

Doesn't work. I have the free and paid one. Both do not work. It's not reading or producing any results.

App not working. I have used this app a lot in the past, but it is not working at all with the iPhone X.

Great idea. .
