Good app, no ball flight data

I like this app. I like my blast sensor, but the ball flight setting never stays on. Super frustrating because I can't see how far or hard I'm hitting the ball in the cage. Other than that the app has no problems for me.

Video Export Issues

Video exports can no longer have metrics applied or slow motion. Further, if shared, the video will no longer work for the given swing. This appears to have happened right after the latest update.

Terrible Sensor

Even if you get the sensor that’s $150 you still need to buy in app things to even use it and the sensor is totally not worth it. It hardly works 90% of the time.

Used to be good

I’ve had our sensor for several seasons, now they want to charge extra for everything.

Does not open

I switched from Easton Power Sensor App to the new Blast App. It will not open. It acts like it is open ring and then just disappears. It did let me put in my username and password the first time. Then it asked for access to Bluetooth, which I allowed. Then it disappeared. And will not open any longer. I uninstalled the app and re installed. Still does not work. Any help out there? Thanks, Rick

Poor application

I want to like this app and service but I can’t. The service has a lot of promise and the data it collects can be very useful but it doesn’t do much good when the app is so unstable. I have lost a lot of video on more than one occasion and the only suggestion from the company is to delete and reinstall the app. The interface is not particularly intuitive and it is very unstable while In use. It is also very curious to me that the app is written for iOS but the web version (which is needed for a number of things) does not work on Safari. This still needs a lot of work.

Terrible product terrible app

Sensor doesn’t cx via Bluetooth and when it finally does doesn’t record any swing data. I took a hammer to my sensor to put it out of its misery

Cool device… terrible app

The device is great and the feedback is super helpful - when it works. I spend as much time trying to get the app to start, restarting it when it freezes and trying to get the videos to upload as I do swinging the bat.

App won’t open

Love what this has done for my swing! The only problem is the app itself will crash causing me to have to delete and re download, which means some of my swings aren’t uploaded to the cloud

Videos no longer upload to blast Connect

Whatever was done to the last update broke the auto video processing and upload to Blast Connect from my latest gen iPad Air. Please revert back to the previous version before this latest update.
