Description
Imagine sitting on the bench on your team. You’ve done hard work to get where you are, the sideline. You practice the same routine plays over and over again. Maybe you’re at the end of your career. Maybe you’re just starting out trying to get on your dream team. You practice and practice but you’re just not getting to the high level to beat the players on even your own team. Just accept the cold hard truth, you’re not good enough.
What if you could be great? What if you could fundamentally change the way you practice? What if you could improve your agility? Your ability to be unpredictable. Be a commanding presence on the court. Practice moves you’ve never even thought about trying. Learn how your body occupies space, and how you can use it to efficiently improve your ball handling. Build explosive speed with your workout. Practice as if you were playing a game. Starting and stopping in quick bursts of energy, increasing your endurance and stamina.
Now imagine this is all happening on your wrist. You raise your wrist. You see a dotted yellow Path staring back at you for an instant. Your Path to greatness just waiting for you to perform at your best. There are cuts, switchbacks, spins, straight sprints, curves, long and short distances, and more. You can increase or decrease the agility, be unpredictable with varying levels of randomness, focus on high speed sprints over short distances or learn to pace yourself over long distances. You forget you are dribbling a ball. But somehow you have to visualize the entire play in a glance. Every move choreographed for you to bring out your best.
You’ve never practiced this way before. You’re used to getting stuck in the same old routine. Your teammate lazily passes you the ball over and over in a bland excuse of a practice session.
Games are random, chaotic, you don’t know what’s going to happen, you need to be ready for anything. Once you run down your first dotted yellow Path, there’s no applause, no pat on the back, no confetti. There’s just a completely different dotted yellow Path staring back at you. You know right then and there, you have got to do it all over again. One play after the other, doing moves you’ve never even dreamed of. After a while, you don’t even think about the ball, it becomes part of you, you become the ball. All because of a little dotted yellow Path on your wrist.
Also, the app keeps track of your shooting percentage, heart and health performance data, streaks, makes, misses, location on the court, and other stats too.
Stats and manual location tracking for basketball, soccer, tennis, pickleball, golf, football, ice hockey, field hockey, cricket, volleyball, water polo, table tennis, archery, badminton, baseball, general target practice, handball, lacrosse, and rugby (bowling is coming soon)
Paths and automatic location tracking are available for Basketball and Soccer (Paths for more sports rolling out soon)
What’s that? You want to do all this under pressure? There is a countdown timer for that. Getting one last shot off before the buzzer will easily wear you out. Also, goals for distance run, energy burned, and number of shots.
There are no cute digital awards for completing your 100th shot or 10th workout. Instead, you are the award! Your prowess on the court is your prize!

Ratings and Reviews
Best app ever!!
I use this app to improve my shooting skills for basketball and it really is quick and easy to use. The only thing is that in the phone you can't view any stats and that would be a great addition but other than that it is the best Money spent on an app!👏
Edit: I love the new stats and still love the app. The only suggestion I have is to have a goalie option. A lacrosse or soccer goalie would benefit from seeing where they need to work on their saves

Update: Swish can now send stats to your iPhone and it’s awesome, I hope you enjoy the update!
I created Swish to help me get better at basketball and I'm happy to hear it helps you too.
Thanks for your review!

Works well except heart rate and health integration
The app works ok except I cannot get the heart rate and health integration to work. I have Swish as a data source in the health app but it does not show any data. The heat rate reading is also hit or miss. It is possible that the phone needs to be connected at all times to the phone for the heart rate to work, but I am not sure. I have done 7 workouts and none of them were transferred to the health app. Hopefully things will get fixed in the next update.
Update: Dear Patrick, thanks for getting back to me. I checked and the heart rate and workout settings are enable in the health app privacy settings. I tried all sorts of different ways to get the app to transfer date to the health app but it does not work. I really like your app and I hope you can resolve these issues in future updates.

On your iPhone, check to make sure that Heart Rate and Workouts are enabled in the Settings app > tap Privacy > tap Health > tap Swish. Let me know if that was the issue. Swish does not currently implement Health integration to its fullest potential. I am hard at work on version 1.7 which adds stats to the iPhone app. Expect much improved health support in the next one or two updates.
Simple and nice on watch
I enjoy shooting a basketball by myself in the gym. I use this app to keep track of made and missed shots. It’s simple and does exactly what I need it to. The large buttons make it easy to keep this information without interrupting my shooting. Despite a nice selection of other features, all I need is shots made, shots missed, and percentage and this nails it. (Just wish I could keep the display on all the time while using.)
Developer Response ,
Thank you for a great review. The features you mentioned are the core of what I first envisioned years ago. I work hard on adding cool new features all the time, but those core features are what it’s all about! Fun fact, there was a feature on an earlier version of watchOS that allowed the display to remain on, it felt like I was one with my Apple Watch while shooting hoops, I loved it! Apple has since removed that feature, probably for battery performance reasons, hopefully something like that will return to watchOS some day.
