| Anyone try it? reviews? Considering for a 12 year old. |

It's cool. Anything that helps your kid do some footwork will help out to some degree. It goes from basic to advanced.
We had ours on the the iPhone and mirrored that to the TV. We tried the live class twice, which was cool. After about 1-2 months, my kid lost interest. |
| My oldest had it when he was younger. It's neat but when the novelty wears off, it's just another ball to lose. I honestly don't think it's necessary. Your just needs a ball and motivation, honestly. If your kid lacks motivation, it won't matter if they have a neat app and ball or not. Good luck! |
| It's a great app, especially as a gift for the holidays and the upcoming indoor months!! |
| It was a waste for us (U10) - awkward to set up and ball tracking was poor. The instructors did not do a very good job demonstrating the drills and it quickly became an overpriced extra soccer ball. |
| Better off getting a kickboard. |
| I'd recommend a Techne subscription instead (if your kid is motivated enough to practice solo). |

We have it but there is a monthly subscription fee that isn’t clear when you buy it. The app seems pretty good but will really depend on the kid. I think you can buy the ball and use some functionality without paying the monthly fee. Also, I am not sure if the fee is for a year or not but it is just another monthly fee that you will pay that might not be apparent when you buy it.
As others have mentioned there are some other apps that people like that might be of low or not costs. Overall my kid likes it but they don’t love it. |
| Great to get started my son when he was a novice. Once he moved into travel and began putting in serious work, it is no longer necessary as he worked on juggling, wall drills, etc. on his own. |
The ball tracking is god awful! 😂 |
Techne is a bit clunky though…it’s not easy to navigate and the drill sets always seem to either be too short or too long. |
