jkrispies Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) I'm home sick right now (yay, brochitis!) and thought I'd look in the App Store for games to help my reaction speed to the buzzer. I tried out 10+ free apps and found one called "Reaction Speed Trainer" for the iPhone (note there's one with the same title for the iPad, but it's a different app entirely) which I think has some merit. Reaction Speed Trainer's "SimpleReaction" mode is a light that illuminates with an audible beep, and you touch a button to log your reaction time. After 10 attempts, your average time is displayed. Your personal best recorded time places you on a leaderboard of personal bests. When I cover up the illuminated button with a cloth and just react to the audible beep, it seems like a decent practice for working on a reaction time to a start signal. Anybody want to weigh in on "Reaction Speed Timer" or have similar games to share? Edited January 10, 2017 by jkrispies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHOWARD Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 This seems like a pretty cool idea. How similar is the "beep" to a shot timer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkrispies Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) Its close enough for training prurposes. A little shorter and the pitch is different but it works. Edited January 10, 2017 by jkrispies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
