This is a great app. Ive been researching apps for tracking my daughters tennis matches. What I was looking for had to be
1. Useful and provide meaningful stats
2. Easy to use and would not impact my watching her play
3. Provide options to track multiple games, aggregate stats across multiple games, produce point by point level detail, etc
This app does most everthing I need.
1. The report is pretty much complete, almost too many stats, but they tell me the next version will eliminate report rows where there are no stats, making it easier to read and shorter. It does not (to my knowledge) aggregate stats across multiple matches - each match has its own report. Id like to be able to track trends in play, but I can easily do that using a spreadsheet and importing the report
2. Its easy to use because it is icon driven, from serve to end of point. There are some options missing, such as specifics on service returns, and Id like to see them add a feature that describes the point outcome more specifically (e.g. today its Unforced error, baseline, groundstroke, forehand). It would be great to have icons to select wide, long, net. Using this app actually enhances my enjoyment watching my daughter play. It takes some getting used to, but once you are comfortable with the app, you actually see more of the game details because it forces you to watch more closely.
I would recommend this to any Parents whose kids play competitive tennis, and want to provide their kids with fact based feedback on how they played. This is important because, we all know, a sportsmans perception of how they played is frequently very different from what the stats revealed.
These reports have helped my daughter to confirm where she is weak, and surprise her to find where she is strong. She did not realize, for instance, that her service percentage (first/second) was so high, and that her percentage of points one on first serve was so high.
Anyway, I recommend this highly to anyone looking for a good tennis match tracker - its great now, and the enhancements they described for the next release are going to be even better.
