About this app

No partner, no shuttlecock? Train game-like badminton footwork on your own.

Prop your phone up at the front of the court or on a stand, and a large half court fills the screen. One of the corner points lights up at random while a voice calls out its position, like "Front left" or "Rear right". Sprint there, play a shadow swing, and recover to center. Set and rest timers run automatically, so you barely need to touch your phone during training.

Whether you're a club beginner, an intermediate player, a coach running lessons, or someone doing shadow footwork alone, you can jump right in.

■ 4 Training Modes
• Random: Calls one of your active points at random at every interval.
• Pattern: Repeats a sequence you set. You can shuffle the order every round, too.
• Reaction: Fast calls at intervals that change every time, so you can't predict the next one.
• Shuttle Run: Run back and forth between two points, such as front-back or left-right.

■ Court Point Setup
• 4 points, 6 points and 8 points layouts
• Tap points on the court to turn them on or off
• No back-to-back repeats, plus a Balanced calls option that calls every point evenly
• Flip view to see the court from the other side (voice calls always follow your own direction)

■ Easy to See from 2~3m Away
• The active point glows big in lime, with its position name shown.
• Time left, current set and calls this set are shown in big numbers.
• The screen changes color during rest, so you can tell at a glance.
• Works in both portrait and landscape.

■ Voice Calls and Cues
• Direction calls ("Front left") or number calls ("1"~"8")
• Beep mode that plays a different beep for each point instead of a voice
• Get-ready countdown: "Three, Two, One, Go!"
• Return-to-center beep that tells you when to recover
• Warning sound 3 seconds before rest ends, plus a vibration option
• Voice calls are prepared in advance, so they play with no delay during training.
• Use it with your music app: the music only dips briefly while a call is spoken.

■ Set and Rest Timers
• End each set by time (15s~5min) or by number of calls (5~100)
• Rest 0s~3min, 1~20 sets
• Call interval 1.0~6.0s, fixed or random within a range
• Get-ready countdown of 3, 5 or 10 seconds
• Pause and resume, skip to the next set, long-press to finish
• The screen stays on during training, and the workout pauses automatically when you switch to another app.

■ Ready-to-Use Presets
