Pitchman Radar Gun

response required

Most baseball radar apps are more a test of your thumb accuracy than a precision tool for measuring MPH. Of course, NO phone has an actual radar, so all apps must employ some form of the equation d=rt to calculate velocity. While Pitchman gives you pinpoint accuracy in locating the exact frame of release and catch, the software has stability issues, which scrubs the joy right from it. Since the developer has not upgraded it in a while, I suspect others will soon pick up on the idea and make a better app. I’ll be looking for it, too.

I just downloaded your app. It crashes when I try to import video from the library and also when using the camera. When I try to use the camera from within the app it “soft crashes” back to the home screen. I was able to make a test recording and add the markers once but have not been able to repeat. Can you help or are you working on an update? The app is promising and a good idea. Also you support site seems to be down.

A pretty solid app with minor annoyances that does what it's supposed to; more accurate than apps that rely on your reflexes. I used a Glove Radar prior to this, but this app allows me to measure speed from the dugout. A few bugs need to be squashed to make this app great: The app kicks you out of the library and the app itself when switching between analyzed videos. I wish the library would display pitch type. Trying to delete multiple videos is a bit glitchy. Elapsed time during video recording doesn't work, making it difficult to know when you're rolling. App records at 240 fps which is great but rendering is slow; I wish I could quick save the video with stats without having to generate a new clip every time, especially during a game. Not sure how the magnifying glass is supposed to help since the pitcher and catcher are frequently out of reach. Nice graphics, though I could do without the Pitchman billboard on every video render. The import video function is what sold me on this app, very useful feature. Recommend highly.

This is the only radar gun app I've found that actually works. The ability to mark the pitch start and end times give you very accurate values - better than real radar gun as you can record from many angles and save the results to a video.

This is a very legit & accurate app. I looked and looked to find an accurate radar app to tell me how fast I throw but couldn't find anything besides faulty touch and release apps. For this all you need is a video from any angle & I got a perfect mph # on my fastball. Excellent app, well worth the 1.99 as apposed to a 1500 $ radar gun. Absolutely fantastic, perfect to figure out pitch speed.
