Golf swing
Has trouble tracking specific objects especially if things are close by, don’t recommend for anything more than 60 mph
Disappointed so far
This app is not at all accurate, and trying to get through all the setup parameters is a pain, it gives you error messages but no way to fix them; i.e. “not enough pinned points for reference”. I had hopes I would be able to use this app to provide data to my local police regarding the speed problem on my street, but the apps data is useless.
Wildly Inaccurate
I wanted to recommend this app to people in our private neighborhood to clock traffic. After an hour of experimenting, I clocked a golf cart doing 108 miles an hour, several other slow moving cars at over 150 miles an hour.
I moved to three different locations and each showed 20 to 30 mile an hour traffic indicating over 100 according to the app.
After watching the tutorial again and resetting the program disparate traffic were all clocked at 17.6 mph on a private street.
Unusable.

Doesn’t work at all. Save your money
Haven’t gotten the app to recognize a single object in Live Speed, the only useful function to track and log cars speeding by my house. Save your money and don’t buy.
Completely unreliable
I had high hopes but this app gives consistently incorrect data. I even mounted my phone to a tripod and used a tape measure to calibrate the distance to subject (roadway). After trying many different settings I gave up. We have many speeders in my neighborhood and I wanted to record vehicle speeds. I would say 50% of all data was incorrect and no way I could possibly use it reliably.
Disappointing
My kid wanted me to get the speed of him on his bicycle. And it doesn’t appear to work at all. Save your money. When I put it on the live which it recommends using to do some thing like this. The second you press start it automatically shows you what speed Keep in mind this continues to happen even though there’s nothing moving. The second I press start it automatically shows me a time repeatedly. Very frustrating. So far I’m regretting the three dollars I spent on this
Worst app I’ve ever had
I dropped the pins in the location I needed them and saved as soon as I open the app it’s set somewhere else. I gave it one star because I had no other option when in reality it should be one star negative. Everyone that paid for this app should get a refund.
Background motion
App keeps flashing background motion and doesn’t register speed despite placing on surface. Using iPhone 11. Don’t purchase
Worst app
All it does is sense motion in background so it’s completely useless!!! It won’t read any times wow it’s since emotion in the back and literally a tree blowing is considered motion in the background. Waste of 2$
Doesn’t work. I want a refund
I don’t know how to send a message to the creator of this app, but I want a refund. It doesn’t work at all.
Promising Idea but...
Clunky, fragile, unreliable app. Keep looking.
Horrible App
Loaded the app but has no function other than scrolling motion detection screens. Not functioning at all
Garbage
Garbage
Accuracy is terrible
The idea of this app is great but the execution of it is terrible. The accuracy is ridiculously poor. The info to setup and use the app is terrible as well. I suggest the designers try giving it to an individual on the street without any guidance from them and see how the app performs. Perhaps they will learn a bit more about how poor a product they have created.
Not very good
This app does not track the speed of what I do correctly ever. Half of the time the speed v component works and the other half it tells me that it was unable to track my object.
Not Reliable
Even with ideal conditions it recorded a speed about 20 percent of the time. Constant “background motion” errors. It records a speed if you shake your phone around, otherwise not very useful.
Used to be good!
No longer. Always says motion detected can’t get a good reading . It used to work really well
Don’t waste your money
I have used this app for about a month and can NOT GET IT TO WORK! I have tried many different settings on the Speed M mode to measure speeding cars on my street and nothing works! WASTED MY TIME AND MONEY!!! August 13, 2018. Just tried to go to their websites for support. Got a 404 error “website is not found.”
Way too sensitive
At the very least this game should be free and not swindle people of money
Can’t get a speed readout
Working with this app for 30 minutes trying to capture speed of cars passing the house...the side bars highlight indicate tracking object but there is no speed displayed. Pretty disappointing.
Changes made it worse
I am a teacher and used this app last year (2015) with much success. We simply measured the speed of a rolling ball using the Speed M. This year I tried the same thing and it did not work I believe because of the changes to the app. It could not recognize the rolling ball after many tries and many different iPads. Very disappointing.
Doesn't work
It keeps telling me to set up distant etc and when I do set it it says I didn't !
Garbage
I spent 2 dollars on this app and every time I try to pitch a baseball it does not work. Do not waste your money on this app you will regret it.
Too complicated to be useful
Not at all what I was expecting from the description. Not intuitive, to clunky to be useful unless you're sitting still and already know the distances involved in what you're trying to clock. Maybe useful at a baseball game, but for cycling or cars on the spur of the moment--useless. For this knowledge I paid $1.99.
Worst app ever
Don't buy!
Wish I had waited
Bought this on neighbor's recommendation, but I am experiencing the same problems as these other folks. Doesn't work.
Useless
Can't see the menu due to the intro message. Tried setting the distance settings and nothing happens when I hit save.
Very buggy
Can't get VR mode to work without multiple crashes.
Intro message blocks menu
I was excited to use this app but it has an intro message that covers over half the screen and blocks you from using the speed functions. You can still access the distance measuring options. I can't find any way to get rid of the intro message. This app is not working.
Worst radar gun ever
Doesn't even work. At all. Worst waste of money EVER. DO NOT BUY THIS APP!!!
Awful
Hate it, wish I could get my money back
I hate it!
Glitches out so much!
Uh...
Crashes on data entry. Got a fix?
Speed clock
Awful, too difficult or use. No usable or reliable info.
Unfavorable light condition
I am shocked by such a high rating. I tried using this app In broad daylight when a annoying window opens up stating "Unfavorable light condition" I press ok and it won't give up until I gave up.
Worthless
Is not accurate
Don't get
Tried and didn't work said it was going 100 when my car goes 20. DON'T GET
Bad app
Too hard to use. Not a good app. Sorry I bought it. I am going to delete. Waste if money.
Don't buy it
I got it to clock speeds of cars just for fun like it is advertised to do but clearly doesn't work. It clocks most cars at 900+ mph. Right.... I want my 1.99 back please.
No
I didn't like it. But someone else can figure it out and it may work better for them.
It is useless
This is the most useless app ever made. I want my money back!
1 star too many!
Apps like this is why I try to stick with FREE apps! I paid $2 for this garbage and it does not work! With free apps, i am not out anything but a few minutes! Now I'm out a few minutes, $2 and looking for a radar app that actually works! I KNOW my Nitro RC is going faster than 7MPH!
It doesn't work
It turned on, but I could not get it to even give me a speed.
Doesn’t work.
Difficult to use, doesn’t work on iPhone. Waste of money.
Does not work with iPhone 11 iOS 16
Have tried every possible setting, camera angle, tripod, … but app consistently reports vehicles going 4 to 6 miles per hour.
Hit and miss
I’ve been using the app now for about two weeks. I have noticed if I am in a shadow and the subject areas and light it does not work well I’m not I’m also having issues on Cloutier days is not working this morning and it works great afternoon zero very disappointing.
Neighbors
I purchased this yesterday and it seemed that it was going to be easy to use but I am not picking up any speed from any of the cars. What’s the deal?
Gear idea, completely unreliable.
Constant freezing and data point error pop ups. No graceful reset/restart if an error. Speeds tragically inaccurate. Also appears to be abandon ware sense the support site doesn’t actually exist.
Old version was great.
Update made it not work.
Try it
Not for me. Everything has to be set with no obstacles in view.
Does not work
I went through all the set up and videos. Does not record speed as stated. Perhaps it works in a control environment but to the lay person that attempts to use it does not function.
