New in 4.2 · iPhone and Android

Your training, read back to you.

A home that reads your training, a coach that knows every rep, and the stage builder in augmented reality. Let the tour play, or pick a feature.

Made for iPhone Duo

Open the phone and the app opens up: Home in two columns, stages beside their details and the timer next to its shot list.

New stage elements

IPSC and IDPA papers with real scoring zones, plus a jersey barrier, silhouette paper and a 3D torso in the element library.

A new Me tab

Your account lives in the Me tab, your profile picture syncs, and sign-in is now full screen.

Free par timer

Beat the par beep.

Set a par time and train hands-free. A start beep, then a lower beep when your time is up. Run one rep, a set, or loop it with a random start delay. The par timer is free. Try it right here.

Dry fire only with an unloaded gun and no ammunition in the room. On a live range, follow the range officer.

  • The app hears every shot

    It marks which shots made the par and keeps your best and average time across every rep.

  • No shot limit on the free timer

    Every shot of every string is timed, with splits, without Pro.

  • Video edits are saved

    Reopen a scored run from its session and keep editing where you left off.

Training without the app? Open the par timer in your browser.
