This app uses a plethora of wearable sensors to provide incredibly detailed real-time feedback -- on everything from speed, elbow angle and consistency -- on a smartwatch screen. All users have to do is line up their shot and start shooting, and the app offers real-time tips every time they miss. The app may suggest that you bend your knees to generate more power from your lower body, or check your follow-through to avoid over-shooting. Swish even customizes the tone of instruction to suit your personality, creates customized coaching plans and allows you to compare your progress with your friends'. Everything about this app is designed to make it incredibly easy to use, whether it's the elegant and simple interface or the fact that it is compatible with any wearable hardware, and isn't solely usable with Android or [Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/padelio) Watch alone for example. The app also utilizes machine learning technology to get better each time, improving its own performance and ensuring that users never get complacent. Swish is currently the subject of an Indiegogo campaign. A pledge of $5 will get you beta access to the Swish App for Android Wear or Apple Watch, while $2,000 will secure early access to the app and a one-on-one training session with former [NBA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixel-arena) star Ben Gordon. With its unique combination of real-time feedback, applicable insights and customizable plans, the Swish app is set to steepen basketball players' development trajectories. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.7/10 - Popularity: 3% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/sports) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Wearable Sensor Technology:** Innovative opportunities for creating apps with real-time feedback using wearable sensor technology. - **Personalized Coaching Plans:** Innovative opportunities for creating coaching apps offering personalized plans for players that help in tracking progress over time. - **Machine Learning Technology:** Innovative opportunities for apps using machine learning algorithms to enhance player feedback, track progress and drive personal development. ### Where This Applies - **Sports:** Innovative opportunities in the sports industry for using wearable sensor technology, creating personalized coaching apps and enhancing player performance through machine learning technology. - **Technology:** Innovative opportunities in the technology industry for developing apps that utilize wearable sensor technology and machine learning technology to enhance human performance and user experience. - **Education:** Innovative opportunities in the education industry for creating new apps that offer personalized coaching plans to track progress and drive personal development for students. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Intelligent Basketball Hoops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-basketball-hoop.md) - [AI-Powered Sports Training Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-shooting-system.md) - [AI Basketball Highlights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-basketball.md) - [Unimagined Basketball Dribbling Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dribbletek.md) - [Virtual Basketball Playoff Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixel-arena.md) - [Sport Performance Biometric Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kinexon-sports.md) - [Connected Training Baseballs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-gaming-baseball.md) - [Youth Sports Analysis Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gamechanger-film-room.md) - [Immersive Sports Streaming Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sports-streaming-apps.md)
