ProTracker Tennis app good for
- easy to record the match point by point, pretty accurate.
- easy to read the match analysis which can be viewed from different aspect such as Stat, Scatter Diagrams etc. The filter feature is very helpful in narrowing down to what interest you the most.
- timely response from the app support.
- wish to see some functions have more options in define the execution other than "Drive". And allow user to add short note there when needed.
Ive been using Protracker on other platforms for years and I couldnt wait till it made it to the iPhone. Ive tried the other apps and they are either too difficult to use or lacks features. Protracker is the most logical and easy to use match charting app. It included a terrific reporting tool that runs on a pc. It does cost extra but if you are serious about match charting, it is worth every penny.
I have been charting tennis matches for years and can honestly say this is the best product Ive ever seen (and used) for charting matches. It is perfect for tennis parents because it takes the subjectivity (and much of the stress) out of watching your child play. It can be easily emailed to their coach immediately afterward for analysis. Once you gather enough data, it is great to access opponents strengths and weaknesses for future reference. Coaches would bebefit as well because they can analyze a students performance without necessarily having to be at every one of their students matches. Finally, the players themselves benefit because they can see (in black & white) their performance without all the drama/emotion. Ive used the windows mobile version of this product for the past few years and it was a hassle having a separate piece of hardware to run this software. Now it is not only easier to use (touch screen vs stylus pen), but more importantly, it is only fifty bucks! Thats cheaper than a one hour tennis lesson and the benefits are far greater. There are cheaper apps out there, but youll be much much happier with this one. Try the lite version...its a free demo.
There is a learning curve in the beginning. It is intuitive and easy once you get the hang of it. You touch where the racquet was, what kind of shot, where it landed, and what shot outcome was like winner, forced error, etc. Worth the $50!! it is an amazing program. You get faster with practice and you need to stay with it to get proficient. Then you just need a good viewing seat to the match. Extremely helpful to players, parents, and coaches. Love the stats and scatter diagrams!
Its excellent and works perfectly, but its been over 6 months since last update. Please optimize it for iPad also! and, just general updates such as removing the purchase button on the paid version and etc.
Only mobile app I found that allows you to record location of shots. Works well and gets the job done. Expensive compared to other apps, but it only amounts to the cost of a single tennis lesson, which seems fair given the value of the data this app can gather.
A few minor quips. Could improve on workflow when matches get screwed up (e.g. Serving from wrong side of court after sets, scoring mistakes). Feel like I am fighting with the app once things go awry with the match and usually give up once this happens.
Cant seem to edit match data once it is started (e.g. Player names, tournament info, court surface).
Comments display strangely in momentum chart. Hard to read them once a few are entered.
Graphics in app could be improved.
