Why isn't this available on android?
I find it's about 12lbs less than what you have your racket strung at....This app is amazing and is a great tool for tension management.

I had my rackets strung at 51,52 & 53 lbs and it registered at 39,40 & 41 lbs on my racquet tune.
How about you?

Using the proper settings it was one lb off - actually it might have been dead on because the racquet was strung at 35 lbs and Racquet Tune measured it at 34 lbs a week later
You racket probably lost more than 1 pound of tension just sitting there but I've never strung that low so who knows.
How do you add in the properties of a string?If you are using default string factors like most of us then it all depends on the properties of the string.
Very good app worth the money.
Here is one of his videos before the iphone app (no phone needed) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jXEZdM54GA
Thinking of getting the app for my iPhone, how much was it?

You used it? Seems quite interesting.
I have used it for quite some time to check the consistency of my stringing and to track the tension history of my string beds after play. It is a very very good app that provides valuable information regarding string tension and related performance.
Can you please explain how to make it spot on?Spot on. Especially if you use it correctly (easy).

I'm normally pretty good at things like this, but this is stumping me. Many thanks.
Sten did say something about teaming up with an Android developer, though he was considering his more popular apps first.Why isn't this available on android?
Not sure I'd hold my breath on that one. ;-)or windowsphone

It's worth switching to iPhone just for this app. :twisted:
It is now on Android.
Nice to hear! So the measurements of the app are pretty accurate.Your Focus Hex tension loss is in line with what TWU reports.

I tried asking in the classic racquets section but no luck. So here goes in this section
Strung a Slazenger Challenge no.1 woody up at 55lbs.
Put the correct size frame in 65sqin, right strings etc.
I can get a reliable reading but it's consistently 14.5lbs.
Pinging the strings she's def around 50-55lbs compared to my other racquets audible freq.
Other 98 and 93sqin frames I have give reasonable readings. Not bang on as I know they will not be, but good ballpark.
Anyone else experienced this in the woody / Racquettune fraternity?
Occasionally I've come across a string and racquet combination where I can't get any sort of reading. It's not always 'unusual' ones either - I think the last was Gosen OG Micro on a modern frame.
I've never tried racquetTune with a woodie: have you dropped the developer an email? He's a super nice guy, and judging from the contact page on his website will not be completely alien to that era!
I just learned about this app the other night, so I bought and downloaded it. I was impressed by the reviews. Too often you read about apps that measure something and they are more gimmicky than accurate.
I now own 2 Babolat Pure Drive 2012 racquets. Had
1 for about 6 months, and just bought the 2nd.
The 1st was strung at 54 lbs with Babolat RPM Blast 17g. The app is showing a current tension of 49.1 lbs. To me that sounded pretty accurate. But I have no other way to really tell.
On my new pure drive, I had it string with Babolat XCel (not XCel power) 16g at 54 lbs. I pulled it out of the box 2 days ago (bought and strung by TW). Haven't had a chance to hit it at all. Tonight I tested the tension with the app, and it's reading 39 lbs.
That seems awfully low, but I read other people say it could be low.
I set up the app with the correct racquet dimensions/string pattern. The RPM blast was in their database so it already had the "string factor". However, the app database doesnt have the Babolat Xcel. It only had the XCel power. So I added the XCel power, as well as the generic multifilament setting.
The generic string reported 39 lbs. the XCel power reported 43 lbs. Both seem pretty low for a newly strung racquet compared to what I'm showing on the same racquet with the rpm blast that's been played for 6 months.
So either this new racquet was strung poorly, it lost tension quickly, the string factor is throwing it off in the app, or I should just ignore it and pay attention to the change over time rather than trying to figure out the actual tension.
What do you think?
on mine the default range was set too low making stupid readings. go into settings and check this.
