Balltune: Keep your balls pumped up [Android, iOS App]

Balltune is a new app that looks very interesting and is being introduced during the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

ATLANTA, GA – June 12, 2014. The developers of Cycloramic are back with a unique sports app, available on iOS and Android. Egos Ventures is releasing BallTune, the first app to measure and fine-tune the air pressure in a soccer ball. Their patented technology calculates the pressure inside the soccer ball within seconds, by merely listening to the ball bounce.

Inflate the ball to perfection:

Soccer enthusiasts know that having a ball with the perfect pressure can make a large difference during matches. For the semi-professionals on the grass pitch or the youth teams playing on astro-turf, the pressure can make a huge difference. BallTune is a new app which can measure and determine the ideal air pressure for each game.

With its unique technology, BallTune indicates the level of inflation of each ball and enables players to tune it accordingly to their game, providing information on how the amount of air will affect their performance. With this new app, players will be able to personalize the ball’s pressure depending on their play style or field condition.

A tuned air pressure for each ball:

  • The app features 5 pressure zones: over-inflated, power, accuracy, control and under-inflated.
  • With a ball inflated to the “power” level, maximum velocity to the ball can be achieved.
  • A ball inflated to the “accuracy” level will work best for putting bends or spins on kicks.
  • The “control” range will work best for precise passing on smaller fields and harder surfaces.
  • An under-inflated ball will be ideal for heading practice and play in very confined areas, while an over-inflated ball is much harder to control and can cause head injuries.

The app is currently free on both iOS and Android, for a very limited time.  For more info, see the trailer below.

Helping Your Handicap with myGolfstats+GPS [iOS]

I would not consider myself a major golfer but I do enjoy playing and watching the big tournaments on TV. I have visited the Augusta National many times and have some great memories of the Masters.  Today’s app is one that any serious golfer will want to investigate.

My GolfStats+GPS by Bill Helman has a ton of neat features for those you care about their golf game. The app is very straightforward, has no ads, and is easy to use.  This app is meant to taken with you to the golf course, so it works best on your iPhone. When you first open the app, you will see the menu.  Here you can watch an introductory video (see below) and a variety of other options.

A nice feature of the app is that it can connect to your USHandicap.com account allowing you to post your scores each time you play. You can view your stats within the app; there is of course your scorecard and also a  graphical representation of your round of golf. The one thing I know about golf is that you need to play often to get better. When you do, you need to set some goals for yourself to improve. Well in my GolfStats+GPS  there is a my goals section where you can review how well you have done against the goals you have set for yourself.

The app is free but if you want to pay $2.99 USD you can download 33000 courses to the app. I would say that this app is definitely for the serious golfer. For those players that play often and are looking to improve their scores and handicap, then my GolfStats+GPS from Bill Helman appears to be a logical fit.  The app interface and text are very clean and easy to follow. Unfortunately I could not take the app out and try it on the course but I will recommend it to my brother-in-law who plays often and possibly provide a followup  with his thoughts on the app.

So if you are a golfer and want an easy way to keep track of your progress, give my GolfStats+GPS at shot and let us know what you think. Fore!
