I'm using the Cool Niks GPS speedo app.
If I have someone with me I use a Bushnell speed gun for doing top speed runs. It works great. They're expensive though. I paid $78 for mine back in May 2020 and they're $127 now.
Post attempt #2 with not short link since Reddit automatically deletes any posts with short links according to the auto mod.
So this is the radar gun that the baseball and softball teams I work with use. For radar guns it’s inexpensive and they love it. Durable and reliable. Seems accurate enough given the $129 price on Amazon.
If there was an app I’m sure the teams I work with would have tried/bought it so I don’t think there is one on iOS or android.
I have been using this one for a few weeks. Its been a bit tough to get readings on every throw but it seems to be the angle I'm using it at. I have to adjust a bit for different throwers. I imagine I would have the same angle issues even with a nicer speed radar device. Once I have my angles figured out then it works very well for me. I'm getting proper readings on around 90% of the throws.

It has good reviews and you just need someone to point it.

Seems to work really well so far. Only time I get bad readings is if I'm not flying straight enough, as witnessed in the video.
