If you're using a WM or BB version, yes. The iPhone version doesn't support saving/loading breaks yet. If you save the file on a BB or WM version, then you can email it to me (hit the support page on our website and look for my name - there is an email link directly to me.)

If you're going to compare Break Speed with a radar gun, there are some things you should know. You may think I'm biased, but I'm going to stick to facts and be completely fair. Also, most pool players that have ever had their speed tested with a gun should probably follow along with this, even...

More specifically, this is an issue with devices that use Auto Gain Control. The BB devices have this and it cannot be disabled. Many Windows Mobile devices allow you to enable/disable this and the default is off (good.) However, I know of one device that has it on and cannot be disabled. It...

Think of it as "Voice recognition" on steroids. We're a lot more accurate and reliable than VR, but once in a while it will mis-read a break shot. When this happens, you can still get your break speed. You can edit the waveform and find the points yourself. Take a look at the waveform for a few...

Follow us on Twitter... We'll be posting updates about it there. twitter.com/breakspeed.

It *should* work. However, I've never been able to try it on an older device. I'll PM you with a free code you can use to verify this. Just make sure to let me know the results!

Just showing off my new signature line (hint, hint!) Feel free to steal mine: Top Break Speed: 00.00MPH

I was going to ask for a section as well... we're collecting stats for ahhh... mmmm.... secret feature. If people had a place to post their stats so they could compare, we would also get the stats we're looking for. It's actually a practicality issue. You're seeing, I think, the 4th or 5th...

www.mybreakspeed.com Capture your break speeds automatically from your mobile phone, more accurately than a radar gun.

Radar guns are so passe! :) We've created a new mobile phone app called "Break Speed". It uses audio similar to the post suggestions above, but it is completely automated and fits in your pocket. Just push a button to start recording your break. When you finish your shot, push the button again...

Public Service Announcement: Please help save Craig's cat. Who is Craig? He created the two BlackBerry versions of Break Speed. Whenever Craig hears people calling Break Speed an "iThis App" or "iThat App" he runs off to kick his cat. Craig's cat is fast, but she's getting old and won't be able...

Forgot to cover this in my previous reply... I've never seen it capture another players break over mine. If you start a recording and right after you start it, a player across the pool room breaks. If, at this point, you stop the recording, you will probably get their break. However, in this...

The black/white spot. The kitchen is on the left-side of the graphical table. The red circle is actually supposed to represent the head ball of the rack - I know that's not obvious, but it's less boring than having nothing there. :)

Going to bundle my replies into one post (hopefully I don't leave anybody out): To test the quality of the environment, just do this: start a recording for a few seconds and stop it (don't break and don't talk - we want a baseline) then look at the waveform and zoom all the way out (on touch...

In case anybody is interested, today we created a "Break Speed" Facebook group and a twitter account (twitter.com/BreakSpeed). We'll be posting updates to the software and status updates on development of new versions as we develop them so you'll know what's coming.

I actually created another app for the PC and Windows Mobile, but I never released it to the public. If I do, it will probably go out for free. It's just an app that explores the mathematics and required precision for pool players. For example... (non-sciencey people, please avert your eyes.)...

Feature requests In my last post, I laid out some of our future plans for Break Speed. But we're not too proud to ask for help. Other people have great ideas, too. I do ask that you bear in mind that we want this app to stay focused on break speeds and break performance. FEATURE REQUESTS...

Thanks CueJunkiee, It may be a few days before I have a chance to dig into the code and start putting in new features (the iPhone will get the new features first, as it is leading in sales at the moment.) I haven't wanted to talk about the stuff we're working on, but I guess it won't hurt to...

I tracked his break speeds through two matches. His breaks were running 28.2 with very high consistency during the first match. He took them down a bit for the second match and was breaking in the mid 27's. That may sound fast, but you need to consider that this is where he feels comfortable...

Yes you can. I captured some of them during early development of Break Speed back in February from some AccuStats 8-ball invitational videos I had: Bustamante..26.2, 26.3, 25.3 Archer......23.1, 23.2, 23.0 Immonen.....24.8, 24.6, 24.5 Reyes.......22.6, 21.9, 21.9 Griffis.....21.9, 21.5, 22.3...
