Our collaboration with Predator has been very effective. It's been great to work with a team that understands the science of billiards. The Predator R&D team has been testing the application along side their own speed measurement equipment and the Iron Willie robot, following a number of testing sessions, the Predator R&D team found the application so accurate that a partnership in pool science began.

Ratings and reviews

I like it, needs more, and I agree, it does cost too much not seeing there hasn't been any updates. I would bet a 100 bucks that any bad readings you get, it's your device not the app. the math is straight forward. If you set your break position and table size, and you don't have too much background noise, you should get a rather accurate measurement. 4 stars for needing additional save options, options to look at graphs and change that to different people or positions...

It's a great idea but I really think it needs an update. If you need to adjust the waveform, there's some arbitrary restrictions that won't let you move the sliders to where they need to be, they can't come close together. It doesn't register some pretty clear breaks, and doesn't work from recorded audio like a YouTube video, even though it seems like it should.

First of all this app is seriously over charged, its real worth is 0.99 cents. Second, it also desperately needs an update. You should be able to add more than one person/profile. When two or three of people are breaking it would come in handy to be able to change the profile and not mess with your own settings and averages. Yes I know you can delete breks. Third, I often get 43 mph break speed and sometimes 3 mph. What's up with that...lol? I'm usually in the low 20's and then suddenly I'm over 40 or at 3 mph. That makes it hard to be able to trust the other numbers. Why is 24 mph any more correct then 43 mph? Fourth, on the sound wave screen it should be a lot easier to zoom in and slide the bars around without hiccups. This is a total mess of an app. Regret buying it. Hopefully future updates will turn all this around. Thanks.
