Latest reviews of Go Coach Baseball app for iPhone and iPad
My son loves watching the videos. Im certain it will help us improve this season.
This app us crap . A Waste of money. Dont buy this app. All info in this app is basic and almost to basic . Dont buy this app
Im looking forward to putting this app to use this coming season. Video is high quality and show the core skills. Planning practices will be easier with this app. I recommend it especially for new coaches.
This is good for first time coaches only. Very basic information. If the full rulebook was included it would be worth the price.
I thought the videos would be good for kids but they are too short. The pitching mechanics are broken into many small videos that keep repeating over and over in a very short time (1sec). There isnt even video of the entire swing, pitch, etc. This app would be better if there were videos of the full pitch or swing that could be watched on a slower time frame.
