Ok that's actually not bad. I played padel a lot these last few months and I feel like i'm struggling with getting better because of my positioning.

Waiting on the IOS app

Quick feedback: I kept instinctively trying to press the A/B/C on the actual court(?) even after realising it's at the bottom on the first one.

I would suggest either making those clickable, or styled less like buttons somehow, so they don't have such an affordance for being the thing to press.

Did you make the graphics yourself or find them?

Someone should make this for pickleball.

Can anyone explain to me why this sport is so popular that it’s taking over prime locations in expensive cities?

Love the design and implementation. Even small details like cage on side!

Only played paddle twice but played a lot of badminton and would like to play more paddle.

Love the concept. Feedback: more explanations for beginners. I didnt know what ”mine’s up/ your’s up” means.

When you guess wrong, also show what the right answer would mean (lines, animation and explanation) Also more than 5 puzzles per day for free tier please. For me to even begin the habit i want to spend more than 2 minues a day here. After i feel i could convert. But i’m not paying for a habit i dont yet have and might not establish. Good luck with the product!
