Shot Trainer 12+

I downloaded 4 or 5 free shot timers for running drills. I tried each out and this was the only one worth having at all. While there aren't as many settings or configurations as others, it's dead simple to use. There were still a couple times when I had to run a drill again because of inaccuracies (fired 5 shot but it captured 4 or 7). I found if others were also shooting on the indoor range that their shots could be picked up too. Still good enough for my purposes.

We are so glad you enjoy Shot Trainer.

I downloaded this app because it seemed like an awesome idea to use the power of the iwatch’s accelerometer. This made it a great substitute for the Mantis x that goes for $150. Furthermore, another reviewer mentioned he used it in conjunction with airsoft which is a training method I use as well.

But the app was a disappointment. My setup consist of:

-Elite Force/Umarex officially licensed Glock 17
-iPhone 10XR
-iWatch Series 4

Pros:
-easily accessible start button on iWatch
-good random delay start for holster draw
-Very easy setup and intuitive app
-great setting for various training sessions
-great pricing (if it worked)

Cons:
-Doesn’t consistently register shots
-registers multiple shots when only one shot
-There isn’t a library of coaching lessons as advertised (or At least I couldn’t find them)
-Doesn’t work consistently enough
-Doesn’t give you any insight as to what you can be doing wrong

I think it is a great idea, if it consistently worked and if it really harnessed the power of iPhone and iWatch. Perhaps, they should talk to the Mantis X developers to develop a conjunction technology that uses the power of Apple tech.

Thanks so much for the feedback!
If you send us an email at feedback@sourcetohex.com we will try to figure out what is giving you trouble. We hate to see that you are having subpar performance, and want to make sure everything is working correctly.

I was reading google reviews on other timer apps and was ready to make compromises on the known short comings of them, until this popped up in the iTunes search. Just had one session at the local indoor range and am really surprised by this apps simplicity and accuracy. No, I don’t have a real shot timer to compare against but it does feel pretty spot on. This is probably because they are using the iwatch accelerometer to collect data too. Superb. Looking forward to using this more and refining my own skills.

Thank you for the kind words.
We are so glad that you are enjoying Shot Trainer!
