## RipReader Description
Measure your disc golf throws with your phone.

RipReader turns your phone's high-speed camera into a $300 radar gun. Set your phone on the ground, throw your disc, and get instant metrics. No extra hardware required.

Tap Start and place your phone on the ground or on a spare disc. Throw your disc and motion detection captures it automatically. Review slow-motion footage with your metrics overlaid. No button timing. No second person needed. Just throw.

RipReader measures velocity and spin for every throw, plus GPS distance from your throw to the landing spot. Forehand and backhand are detected automatically. Every throw is saved with slow-motion playback, organized into sessions by date and location. An analytics dashboard tracks your averages, trends, and personal records over time. You can also build your disc bag, and after each session RipReader automatically matches throws to the right disc using on-device visual recognition and compares performance across different discs.

Dedicated throw measurement hardware can run $300 to $400. RipReader works with every disc you own, runs on the phone already in your pocket, and costs a fraction of the price.

RipReader is designed for players who practice with purpose. Auto-detection means you stay in your rhythm, no fumbling with buttons between throws. Capture an entire field session, then review everything after.

## RipReader Reviews in United States

### ***** "Best Disc Golf Throw Analyzer"
One-of-a-kind app. Has incredibly useful functions. Developer support and responsiveness is top notch.
-- W!llR, 2026-05-14

### ***** "Perfect"
I was impressed with how well this app worked. Has lots of great features! I love being able to throw any disc I want to measure instead of always being stuck with one like tech disc. Not to mention the affordability vs tech disc.
-- Khrow11, 2026-05-14

### ***** "Great Tool"
This is an amazing tool to help analyze your throw without the large price tag of a tech disc! Additionally, once you get a good amount of throws logged you can get some good insights as to how you throw your individual discs. For instance, I had some disc choice biases for my distance drivers but after looking at my throws I realized I had a clear bomber disc that I was not utilizing as much as I should be!!
-- Sol0_M3xicaN, 2026-05-13

### ****- "Had hopes…"
Saw the review on BlitzDG and was excited.  Downloaded it and all it does is tell me to put my phone face down on the ground…. And I wait…and wait…. and nothing happens.  Maybe it’s an app to get me to stretch my back by leaning over?

**update** did the recommended fix that was on discord and it worked.  I also tracked with my tech disc and Rip Reader has pretty close to the same numbers for speed.  This app does have a feature for distance but those numbers did not match my Tech Disc numbers.  I used up my 5 free throws.  I don’t want to pay for something else since the TD cost enough.  Thanks for the cool app.  I can see how it can be helpful doing field work.
-- Sonquizzon, 2026-05-13

### *---- "Does not work"
It just captures everything but the discs and all your 5 free throws get wasted instantly because it records in 28 fps for some reason with terrible exposure settings that aren’t even picking up the disc.
-- NovaaHD, 2026-05-12

### ***** "Great tool"
Really easy app to use, and great immediate feedback from the developer to fix a couple of issues with settings.  Only thing I could ask for is for the free trial to give a few more than 5 throws.   It would be nice to get the hang of the system a bit more before committing to buying.
-- D3kuyp3r, 2026-05-11

### *---- "iphone 17e issue?"
current bug where it doesnt appear to be finding the camera to measure throws? at least i dont see anything (black screen) when i peak at my phone while its supposed to be measuring my throw speed. really wanting this app to work as it looks promising.
-- gregr330, 2026-05-08

### ***** "Accessible compared to alternatives"
Works well, gives instant feedback for field work, doesn’t have all the features of a tech disc but it is way more accessible and still give a lot of great info
-- JJPlayDG, 2026-05-07

### ***** "Easy to use, fast improvement"
I’ve been trying to figure out which discs actually match my arm speed, and RipReader has been super helpful. I looked at Tech Disc, but it’s pretty expensive so this was a great alternative. 

It gave me a clearer sense of what actually belongs in my bag and added real data to my field work instead of just guessing. Also great for dialing in stock yardages.

Big shoutout to the developer too! I reported a bug and it was fixed the next day. Super responsive.

Solid app if you’re trying to understand your distances and improve your disc selection. Excited to see where it goes 👍
-- DiscDestroyer, 2026-05-04

### ***** "Fantastic for field practice"
I’m a 6-month novice and have found that my recent work with RipReader has helped me to monitor my work at improving my throws. Measuring speed & distance - especially incremental speed & distance - is very useful as I practice my form and try new techniques.  I get meaningful feedback on this work and it feels great when you break distance and speed records.  There were a few times when practicing where I thought about skipping RipReader but working without it felt like I was missing important information so I’ve always ended up using it. It’s quite easy to use and I feel like the accuracy is also very good.  I really love the disc library and lookup feature.  Highly recommended!
