Ratings and reviews

They do not tell you if you have an android, it is not user friendly. It does not have the same features and functionality of an iPhone. They will tell you this at help desk in their own words. Found that out after I had bought it. Will not stay connected. Have contacted customer support. Have tried every suggestion in FAQs also. Very disappointed. Going to check on refund.

Have no idea why people having trouble connecting. Connects every time with my Galaxy note 9. 3d swings works fine too. We use it a lot and I'm still learning to use the data captured by the sensor. Right now it lets my granddaughter know she's slacking when her bat speed id down. Also shows how her bat speed has improved over the few months.

Desperately needs updates. The app running on new androids crashes constantly and is extremely slow. I love the product, but the connectivity is really not good.
