This app is garbage. It is insanely frustrating to get the targets to work properly with the application. If you have a Blackbeard or BlackbeardX like I do you can pull the trigger too fast causing it to have an inaccurate shot count. It runs the phone hot probably because of the god awful and poorly optimized code coupled with the fact that you run your camera is on the whole time you are placing shots too. I have more complaints but have no more space. Do not buy any drills! It will disappoint

best app I have ever used hands down. I am using a laserammk dry fire mag system so I dont have to ravk the slide between shots. brought my times down a full second in 2 training sessions. it very rarely missed strikes, scoring is super accurate, shows movements well, rewatching your shots is a really cool feature too. i hae been training my son and now we have a way to quantify his progress and compete against each other. i couldnt be happier with this program!

Great at first. Hit or miss, now. Worked flawlessly the first week I had it. Now, when the buzzer sounds to shoot, the camera automatically adjusts, causing the "moving" error message. This keeps your shots from being tracked until the camera re-adjusts. Meanwhile, the timer is still running, which defeats the purposes of the drills. Playing with the shades, lighting, or background, can sometimes help, but the app can be temperamental.
