I am a beginner at tennis without a regular practice partner. Solo Tennis is a personal iOS prototype, initially focused on practice plans and records, with AI assisting the technical implementation.

Trying some of its features showed me that having a plan did not make the instructions clear. The labels for walls and targets were hard to interpret, distances were difficult to picture, and the self-assessment and repeated confirmations added effort.

I asked for distances to be described in paces, simpler self-assessment and fewer repeated confirmations. Clearer visual instructions are another area to improve.

The trial helped me identify what a beginner needs from the plan: how to start and what to record afterwards. Whether it improves training still needs to be tested.
