1. 1/5New update = paid subscription

   I’ll be happy to update my review if I’m wrong but this new update gives you 10 free swings, albeit with more metrics available, and then you have to pay to view anything beyond that. Up until this point, the app was free to use for all basic members with 5-6 basic metrics available. I used it to track bat and hand speed over time, and didnt necessarily care about any other metrics. Now, I can’t even track that without paying a subscription fee. This feels wrong for those of us that already own the blast baseball sensor. The sensor disconnects/reconnects every time I am using it, and now its basically a paperweight after 10 swings because I don’t plan to buy a subscription for something that was initially free. Figure it out Blast.

2. 1/5Pay to play

   DO NOT BUY THIS DEVICE After owning the blast motion for several years and using it with my son, the latest update makes this device completely useless without paying $50 per year. It is now limited to 11 swings per day. Prior to this update we would do 20 swings once in a while, and now we can’t do that. I really feel like I should get a refund for the $150 sensor, since they changed the terms of the app to the point that it doesn’t make sense to even own it. I really don’t see how it is even legal for them to do this. The only reason I bought it in the first place was because they put Zepp out of business and my sensor finally died. You would be better off with WinReality’s ai app instead.

3. 5/5Data driven performance improvement

   I have coached baseball for 8 years. I also love working with data…. “What’s measured is managed and what’s managed is improved.”Blast is a great device/app to track swing power (bat speed, rotational acceleration), contact (attack angle, on plane efficiency) and consistency (early connection, connection at impact) and see improvement over time. In addition to the data, there is a library of videos/drills that explain each of these 3 components of the swing to help the player visualize his swing with drills to improve the areas that need work. The app does require an annual subscription. But, the annual subscription costs less than one private lesson and if you work with a coach who embraces this technology, your player will be ahead of the game. While the sensor tracks bat speed, it does not track 2 important aspects of the swing: exit velocity (ball speed off of the bat at impact) and swing decision timing (time from deciding to swing to contact). Paired with HitTrax or simply a Pocket Radar to periodically track exit velocity and you will have almost everything you need to improve and drive consistency in the swing. For swing decision timing, Win Reality has some great VR drills.

4. 5/5Great App for Serious Training

   Works really well and connects to my phone quickly and easily. The app provides a ton of valuable metrics that really help break down and understand each swing. The video capture feature is especially impressive — it automatically slows down right before contact and syncs perfectly with the performance metrics, which makes reviewing and improving mechanics much easier. The data is clear, detailed, and easy to navigate, whether you’re a player, coach, or parent tracking progress. I’m looking forward to trying out their tutorials next to take even more advantage of everything the app offers. Highly recommend!

5. 1/5Misrepresented Product, Hostage Data, and Appalling Customer Service

   My experience with Blast Motion has been nothing short of a complete disaster. I purchased an individual subscription through the app, only to discover the company misrepresented the product by failing to clearly state that an in-app subscription does not grant access to the website's "Blast Connect" portal—a key feature that includes CSV data export. Initial customer service was terrible, with the first representative flat-out lying by assuring me all website features were available in the app. Later, a supervisor admitted this was an "inaccuracy" but the damage was done. They then confirmed that if I were to accept their only resolution—cancelling, getting a refund, and re-subscribing via the website—I would permanently lose all my existing data. In short: they sold me a product under false pretenses, confirmed a crucial feature I need (data export) is unavailable in the app, and refuse to manually provide my data or offer any form of compensation other than returning the sensor for a full refund (and losing my data). My data is, for all intents and purposes, being held hostage. This company misled me, provided unacceptable support, and is now forcing my hand toward consumer dispute resolution and legal action. Do not waste your time or money.
