Soccer balls perform best when filled with the correct amount of air, so the people at Egos Ventures came up with a way to monitor [soccer ball inflation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Ventus-Pro) through a soccer app called BallTune.

Just like [instruments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trumpet-tuner), soccer balls need to be kept "in tune" and up to standards, especially when they are needed in professional settings like the [FIFA World Cup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fifa-world-cup26). The BallTune app tells you if a match ball needs air just by listening to it bounce. All you need to do is drop your ball onto a hard surface and point your phone towards it. The app will then record a video and analyze the sound and frequency of the ball's bounces to determine the its PSI.

The game-improving app is available for iOS and Android and usually costs $2, but for the duration of the World Cup it's free.
